CarterQue Barbeque & Grilling Co.

en our best man and maid of honor to their restaurant to sample our choice for the wedding caterer. They both enjoyed the unofficial "tasting" of pulled pork, pit ham, pit beef, brisket, and the many sides. They both agreed that Carterque was a great selection for the wedding. On the actual day of the wedding in October 2021, Carterque's staff was lead by Colleen and arrived on time for setup. We ordered BBQ Chicken, Pit Smoked Ham, Macaroni and Cheese, Red Potato Salad, and Garden Salad. Carterque was able to accommodate the need for several children's menus and even provided vegetarian options for our vegetarian guests. (The luckiest wedding guest may have been the vegetarian who got to take home most of the vegetarian sausage leftovers.) They decorated the tables nicely and worked well with our volunteers to complete the hall decoration. The food was enjoyed by everyone and my wife and I have been back subsequently for other meals (which involved driving 45 minutes from our home). Carterque even set up a s'mores station for our guests, which they had not done prior to our event and manned the firepit. Colleen not only directed the staff, but also served as our bartender. We were only able to provide her with one written recipe for our two signature cocktails, as one was an old favorite from graduate school late nights. I relayed the basic recipe on the fly and the Godiva hot chocolate was a big hit. We highly recommend Carterque for any BBQ catering to any of our friends. Pro Tip: Contacting Colleen can be difficult, and we'd recommend calling earlier in the week as they're typically less busy.

st wedding food ever! The Carterque staff is very hardworking and extremely professional. Everyone at this establishment went above and beyond to make our day super special. I received great service from my first phone call and email to my last email after the wedding. I highly recommend Carterque to anyone wanting great food and an absolutely carefree day.

(and our wedding day POC) that helped us navigate the day. We signed a contract with Collen in 2019 and she was very accommodating during such a trying time, and worked with my husband and I as we had to make multiple changes due to the Pandemic. We would highly recommend anyone even browsing through CarterQue’s vendor page to contact them and hire them. Hiring CarterQue was one of the best vendors and decisions we made for our wedding. If my husband and I could give more than five stars we would!

The dinner was easily the best barbecue we've EVER had! Their sauces are to die for. The mac 'n cheese was so creamy and I could have gone back for thirds or fourths. Just as important to us - their staff was so incredibly kind and professional. They prioritized our comfort above all else – saving us popular treats that were going fast, accommodating guests’ dietary needs with grace, and even checking in on us to ensure we wanted for nothing! When they asked whether there was anything we needed, they truly meant it and were ready to assist at all times. However, we never had to take them up on this offer because they thought of everything before we even had a chance to ask!!! We could not have dreamed of a better team or menu for our special day. We will absoLUTEly be visiting CarterQue frequently to relive those memories and treat ourselves to amazing food! Don't hesitate to check them out - trust me!

ellent - we got so many compliments. When the pandemic hit and we had to postpone our May wedding until October, Colleen worked with us. She was always prompt in her communications, answered all of our questions, and made suggestions for us to consider as well. You can tell she’s experienced at this and it was so nice to have someone so competent and organized working behind the scenes for us. On our wedding day, her team was phenomenal. CarterQue had COVID rules in place and we were so happy with everything they did in order to help keep everyone safe. Not to mention, this place is a great value for the quality of food you are getting. I would not hesitate to recommend them for your wedding!

he service our their team, and also hired bartenders through them for the bar. We really liked that we could provide our own plates, napkins, flatware, cups and alcohol and mixers for the bar - which helped save money and allowed us to make everything more personalized! We got so many compliments on the food from our guests, and really enjoyed getting to bring all the leftovers home to freeze and keep enjoying for a while!

ally could be a wedding planner. The staff were dressed appropriately and were very professional. The bartender was great and had no issues with transferring the bar location from cocktail hour to the reception area (this was discussed prior to the day). I loved up-scaling the amazing buffet BBQ (fabulous presentation) with the china package to have a fancier feel. Go ahead and do yourself a favor, reach out to them!

ting up the reception space and moving chairs from the ceremony to the reception. They set up exactly the way we discussed. They took our orders in advance so that while our guests when through the buffet line, we could stay seated and eat. They were very detail oriented and organized. They even gifted us a bottle of our favorite BBQ sauce, Blackberry Grilling Sauce (delicious!!). We live out of state, so all of our communication was through email. Colleen was very patient with us and had everything we wanted/needed. We plan on going back to Carterque every time we are up there so we can order their yummy food, delicious BBQ sauce, and relive a small part of our wedding day! We would book them again in a second.
