Blue Pit BBQ & Whiskey Bar

We had our wedding reception at Blue Pit and I cannot imagine a more perfect experience. Planning: Cara was amazing to work with, she was always responsive and thoughtful in answering our questions leading up to the day. She was very flexible and creative and also offered great advice, which was so reassuring since we were planning our wedding from across the country. We ended up not hiring a wedding planner/day of coordinator for a number of reasons, but one of the big ones being that Cara was all over it and took so much care about making sure it was an amazing day for us and our guests. Food & Drink: The food is DELICIOUS and our guests loved it. I had read other reviews where their guests called it the best wedding food they had ever had, and our guests said the same thing! As is usually the case my husband and I barely had time to eat a plate during our wedding, but fortunately we can go back to Blue Pit any time to relive our wedding menu (huge perk!). Also the team put together some delicious signature cocktails for us and had an amazing full bar selection. Venue: We wanted a really comfortable and sociable venue for our reception. Our guests loved bouncing around the two floors of the restaurant and hanging out on the patio. It was perfect for lots of mingling and random dance circles popping up. We specifically didn't want a "blank canvas" type venue where we would have to spend a ton on decorations, furnishings, and place settings, and we were able to focus on what was most important to us. Blue Pit Team: Amazing vibes all around. Everyone was so helpful and friendly and fast, and really cared about making it a great day for us. HUGE thank you to Cara & the Blue Pit team for creating a perfect, delicious, lovely, and FUN wedding reception for us. It was beyond all our expectations.

Carrie and her team completely rocked it for our rehearsal dinner. Communication was excellent in the days leading up to the event and staff were flexible with last minute changes to the headcount. Guests of all ages raved about the delicious food (I am still hearing about the beans!) The upstairs room was perfect for a party that included several small children, and staff even provided quarters for the little ones to play with the downstairs vending machine, which they loved! Our bartender was so attentive and made sure everyone had drinks, food and a great time, offering vegetarian alternatives if we wanted them. We left with tons of leftovers and the price was very affordable for an open bar package. I can’t say enough good things about Blue Pit and the events team and would use them for any event without question.

Blue Pit is phenomenal. Their food was a highlight of our wedding. All of the guests were (and still are) talking about how good it was. Cara was so responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. She planned an amazing menu, brought an amazing selection of local beers, and created awesome signature cocktails. We loved working with Blue Pit and would highly recommend them.

This was the absolute best place for our reception! They are affordable and very responsive. Cara Bruce, the owner, made the entire day so easy and she took care of everything. The servers were also amazing and all of our guests loved them. They were fun, kind, and kept all of the guests drinks filled! I highly recommend having your wedding here or ANY event.

We hosted our wedding reception at Blue Pit BBQ and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We met with Cara (the owner) when we initially were planning our wedding to see how it would work at the restaurant. She was so wonderful, just the sweetest person! We agreed that day Blue Pit was the perfect place for us. We didn’t want a traditional wedding, just great food and good drinks (bonus that they are so involved in dog rescues). Throughout the year Cara was so responsive to my question and flexible to meet our wishes. The day of the wedding went on without a hitch. The food was AMAZING, the drinks were delicious, and the service was top notch! The food was refilled constantly and the staff was walking around with specialty drinks and beer buckets were always full of delicious beers. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about the wedding a month later! I couldn’t imagine not having our wedding at Blue Pit! Thank you to Cara and all the staff!

To say that we were well cared for during our wedding would be a gross understatement. Cara did everything in her power, not just the day of but the YEAR OF, to make sure our wedding reception would go off without a hitch. From an amazing selection of drinks (including guests saying they've never had this many to choose from at a wedding!), to food that exceeded expectations, to help with decorations and everything in between we are so grateful to have worked with Cara on this. When I first inquired about having a wedding reception here I never expected Cara to basically be a wedding coordinator! Cara was incredibly responsive, day and night, if I had questions or needed anything. She and her staff were personable, attentive, and helped create the fun party atmosphere we wanted. Nothing went wrong! Who can say that?! It was amazing and we're confident this was the absolute best choice for our wedding, the most special day of our lives. Thanks, Blue Pit!

Everything was perfect. The staff and Cara went above and beyond in every imaginable way. We adore you.
