Blue Pit was everything that we could have asked for and more. PICK THEM. We considered BBQ for our wedding meal because it's good and also more affordable than some of the other food types. We also wanted to support our local Baltimore commun...ity, so we made an appointment to talk with Cara at Blue Pit. We only met with two other companies before our visit, and knew after talking to Cara that this was our perfect fit.
Cara was so down to earth and easy to bounce ideas off of for the day-of. Anytime I had a question, her response was prompt and thoughtful. We needed an extra something here? No big deal, they got us. Concerns about this? Don't worry about it, we'll figure it out. Coffee? Yep. I think the exact words used were "we've got an industrial coffee maker that can service all of Ellicott City!" This extra service added AFTER we already signed a contract, by the way. Photo booth? Oh we've got one of those...
When we discussed signature cocktails (which includes a large selection of craft beer, fresh squeezed juices, and house-made syrups) we came into the restaurant to try different drinks--1) they were all ears to hear what we wanted most and 2) the cocktails were unique and freaking DELICIOUS.
For our day-of, the staff was so much fun and super friendly. There were two bartenders to take care of all of our guests who were wonderful. And I've lost count of how many people commented on how amazing the food and drinks were after the wedding (I believe the biggest raves were about the brisket, vinegar-style coleslaw, and home-made sauces). Not to mention, one of the personal drink selections we made were to have a few bottles of Jameson for the select guests (i.e. US) and I personally love Guinness. So at the end of the night, they packed up the leftover Jameson and a 6-pack of Guinness with all of our wedding things! It was a completely unnecessary gesture that made us smile ear to ear when we saw it the next day.
Did I mention, PICK THEM :))
