Russell Morin Fine Catering

What Russell Morin Fine Catering does

Russell Morin Catering & Events is a family-owned, full-service catering company headquartered at 110 Frank Mossberg Drive, Attleboro, Massachusetts, with a commissary kitchen at 95 Frank Mossberg Drive and a Newport, Rhode Island office/event space (VUE). Founded in 1911 (with the legal entity traced to 1922 in some sources) and operating continuously for 100+ years under the Morin family, the company serves Southern New England — Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut — and earns revenue primarily from full-service event catering for weddings, corporate galas, nonprofit fundraisers, and private residence events. Per-person pricing for private home events ranges from $225 to $350, with additional charges for tenting, furniture rentals, restroom trailers, and equipment; large-scale events such as the Hasbro Children's Hospital Heroes Ball serve 600+ guests.

The core operating model combines an in-house culinary team, a commissary kitchen facility, and a network of dedicated "Experience Specialists" who manage accounts from initial inquiry through event execution. Distribution is anchored by exclusive catering partnerships at 6+ premier New England venues — Providence Public Library, Mount Hope Farm (Barn and Cove Cabin), Shining Tides, Glen Manor House, Linden Place, and the Newport Art Museum's Griswold House — supplemented by service at non-exclusive venues such as Rosecliff Mansion. Adjacent operating subsidiaries include Fresh Eats (office catering delivery using compostable disposables) and CRU Cafe (a craft cafe venture launched in 2015 adjacent to VUE in Newport). The company employs approximately 80 full-time staff plus 250+ part-time and seasonal workers (330+ total), and runs a multi-channel marketing program anchored by content marketing, social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram), email, and an extensive referral ecosystem of wedding planners, venues, photographers, and florists. Notable enterprise clients include Hasbro Children's Hospital, Miriam Hospital, Naval War College, Bryant University, the Preservation Society of Newport County (10 consecutive years of the Newport Flower Show), Audrain Automobile Museum, and Brown University (food rescue partnership).
