“You were, as always, the core of the entire event, and never said “no” – just pulled each rabbit of out of your hat or hats – since you wear so many.

“This letter is long overdue. However, I wanted to complete it since I found your services very compelling. Thank you so much for an absolutely great wedding! Everyone had a great time! The very positive comments regarding the food do not stop even today. Unfortunately for some of my relatives about to be married also, we have established a “benchmark” that will be very difficult to eclipse. Here are some thoughts I wanted to share regarding your services: Of course, as you know I am a stickler for value. Although your costs compared to others were somewhat on the higher side, we were so happy with your services that it was money very well spent with you. I think if your prospects could foresee how well their event would turn out, I bet they would not hesitate one moment or think twice about cost.” - Armand Aquino

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! To all of the team who helped make the wedding of Lisa and Matthew such a wonderful event. From the very beginning to the final goodbye, everything ran so smoothly and elegantly. We are so grateful to you. The hors d’oeuvres, the dinner and the dessert were spectacular. The service and attention to detail was marvelous. We were truly in the hands of experts. You helped make the whole day wonderful. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves and our guests. It was everything a wedding should be.” - Pat and Larry Jarbeau

It took us a lot of searching to find someone who understood what we were looking for, and you’ve challenged, advised and inspired us to put together something unique.

“A couple of weeks ago Chad and I were at a family event and everyone told us that our wedding was the BEST wedding they have ever been to and the food was by FAR the best they had ever had. They were especially raving about the lamb chops! I’m sure everyone that you cater tells you how wonderful you are but I thought you would like to know that years later people are still raving about Morin’s Catering. Your love for food, family and friends and how you bring them all together are what make you stand out above the rest.” - Sheila S. Vanacore, LMT

“All of my guests just raved about the food. You and your team did a beautiful job. Everything was delicious; I only wish I got to eat more of it! The presentation of the food was unique and everyone gobbled down every crumb of their entrées. I even caught one of my bridesmaids stealing food off someone else’s plate :)” - Erin Mulligan

“Feedback form our banquet, and in particular, your food, has been voluminous and raving. As for me, it was the best catered meal I've ever had, including my wedding meal, which was served by a 5 Star Restaurant!” - Tammy McVay
Glen Manor, Portsmouth, RI
“Even though it was our request, the plan to serve the stationed fare concerned us. We didn't want anything to seem picked over, dry, or run of the mill. However, every single morsel was perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything more. All of our food wishes, the blending of Portuguese, Mediterranean and other ethnic fare, along with grilled components, funky salads and a raw bar were incorporated and their presentations and tastes were fantastic. The passed margaritas for toasting after our outdoor ceremony, in place of traditional champagne, were also a hit! Even my boss, Chef Owner, Ming Tsai of Blue Ginger, who was also a guest, raved about the food and readily helped himself to three full plates!” - Rob and Lori Mullen

“Working with you and the Staff at Morin's has been a pleasure. From the beginning, you disclosed all of the points to be considered. There were no hidden costs, last minute changes, or unexpected expenses. Your confidence and experience were able to guide the process, but what I appreciated the most was your willingness to "do whatever we wanted" to make this event special. Having worked with other caterers in the Newport area, I can honestly say that you, Fine Catering by Russell Morin, will always be my first choice. I'm looking forward to planning events together in the future!” - Nancy Grasing

Thanks kindly, and again, my most sincere thanks for an absolutely beautifully done event last evening.” - Susan Ritval
