Why BBQ Catering Is Perfect for Weddings

Barbecue brings people together like nothing else. When couples choose BBQ catering for their wedding, they're choosing food that's comforting, flavorful, and perfect for celebrations.

Our catering team helps you create a menu your guests will love, featuring:

  • Baby back ribs and spare ribs slow smoked for hours
  • Tender pulled pork and Texas beef brisket
  • Country-roasted chicken and BBQ chicken
  • Scratch-made sides like mac & cheese, coleslaw, and Wilbur beans
  • Sweet desserts and Southern-style favorites

Every rack of ribs starts with a handcrafted spice rub made with brown sugar, salt, and seasoning. The ribs are placed bone side down in the smoker, slow cooked until the meat becomes incredibly tender and juicy, then finished on the grill and brushed with our famous bbq sauce for deep smoky flavor. It's the kind of fantastic food that turns a wedding reception into a real celebration.

Famous Dave's Is the Favorite Caterer for Outdoor Weddings, Casual Weddings, Western Weddings and Barn Weddings in North Olmsted

We're not saying barbecue isn't the perfect meal to serve at any type of wedding, because honestly, we couldn't in good conscience say that. What we are saying is this: a delicious meal of slow-cooked ribs or brisket, some perfectly smashed red-skinned potatoes, the greenest beans and the most perfectly flavored coleslaw make for the ideal casual experience. Barbecue is perfect catered food for:

  • Outdoor Weddings: Nothing is more perfect for big days set out in the beauty of nature than barbecue. The aromas of roasted pork, molasses from baked beans, fresh-baked rolls and sweetly scented fruit could not complement better the aromas of pine forest, soil, running rivers and sunshine.
  • Western Weddings: Want it to feel just like Texas in Northern Ohio? We're on it, with an array of dishes that hail straight from the country down south. Slow-smoked meat and delicious smoky flavors will complement those cowboy boots perfectly.
  • Barn Weddings: Nothing says "rustic" like a barn. If you're going for a candle-lit event that could just as easily have taken place two hundred years ago, then our old-timey, home-style cooking is just the ticket.
  • Casual Weddings: We've got casual down to an exact science, with effortless food time-tested by thousands upon thousands of happy diners.
