The Rhode Island Convention Center maintains exclusive catering privileges within the building. Your Catering Sales Manager
will provide you with a menu and work with you to ensure that every part of your food function is a success.
The Convention Center's kitchen is a state-of-the-art facility that can prepare full meals for up to 2000 guests in an evening. Our creative
staff prides themselves on delicious meals and excellent presentation. Your Catering Sales Manager will work closely with you to ensure your
event has the look and fee.
Your Catering Sales Manager must be notified of the exact number of guests to be served three business days prior to the function. The number most recently
provided to the Convention Center on this date will be considered as the guarantee for which the client will be charged. The Rhode Island Convention Center
will set for and prepare 5% above the guarantee for plated meals with a maximum of 25 additional meals.
The Rhode Island Convention Center can arrange a number of services to enhance your event, from Ice Sculptures starting at $175.00 to Floral Centerpieces
