The service was great. Although he was a little late, due to construction on freeway, he was set up in plenty of time. Boone was very professional and courteous with his service....
Patrick was great in the planning process. He did not try to sell us more than we needed. Quantities were great. They boxed up the leftover food for us. Most caterers do not do that.
Divine Swine was so wonderful to work with! We were drawn to them for their homestyle food options and their pricing was very reasonable. Working and planning with their team was a...
breeze, communication was great, and they made us feel so comfortable with them. The food, set up and service, day-of the wedding, was spectacular! Our guests raved about how great the meal was and we were so happy with the results. Highly recommend for weddings or any other events.
We had a 50 person wedding in September and ordered Divine Swine from the recommendation of our good friends. Divine Swine really came through! The food was delicious. We received ...
many compliments from guests. The portions are very generous, including their tasting portions. We ordered three sides, because they were all so delicious we couldn't choose. They boxed up the leftovers for us, and their staff were very pleasant to work with. When we had to reschedule the food service two weeks before the event due to unforeseen circumstances, Divine Swine was very accommodating!
It was good food but I thought we would be having a whole pig carved on site and that was not the case. So I was slightly disappointed in this. I also thought the potatoes were a l...

So glad we went with Divine Swine for catering. We did their ‘griller menu’ and had burgers, hot dogs, mac n cheese, and a couple cold sides. They were incredibly flexible, like le...
tting us bring our own bags of chips to save money on a side, willing to replenish the Chicago-style hot dog fixings we brought, and several calls back and forth to figure out exactly what we wanted in the months leading up to the wedding. Day-of they worked directly with our venue’s day of coordinator to have everything taken care of, we didn’t have to do a thing. Such a great, affordable option.
THESE GUYS WERE AWESOME! They were so incredibly accommodating when it came to our day, especially since we didn’t know if it would rain or not and they went with it! The food was...
AMAZING and so many people said they haven’t had wedding food that good ever!! Highly recommend them for an affordable BBQ wedding meal!!!
The food was incredible! Hands down the best Mac n cheese I’ve ever had and I’m so excited we have leftovers! We’d recommend them over and over again!
Divine Swine was amazing! We received many compliments on the food at our reception, as well as the the service from the waitstaff. They were kind and attentive and went above and ...
beyond to make sure our guests who were gluten-free knew what their options were. They offer a good variety of customizable packages that are upfront and easy to understand. They were also very responsive and accommodating throughout the planning process, quick to answer any questions and make adjustments we had along the way. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for good BBQ style food at their wedding or special event!
They were professional, efficient, accommodating, and very nice. They made sure my day was perfect and everything was in place. The food was delicious and there was plenty for ever...

with us, and everything with them went to smoothly. we ended up having pork, beef, mac and cheese, augratins, caesar salad, pepper slaw, and sauerkraut stuffing. we got so many compliments on the food and had so much for leftovers, which they boxed up for us! would recommend them over and over again!
The food was great and it was a pretty good price! We had the pig roast and pulled chicken! Everyone loved seeing the whole pig with the apple! Only reason I gave one less star is ...
because there was some miscommunication where I was told the server would Chemo cleat the tables. Then two weeks before the wedding they told me they wouldn’t and I would have to hire another person for $400. They did end up bringing it down to $200. But just not what I wanted to deal with two weeks before the wedding! But they did work with me and made it pretty easy!
Food was AMAZING. Loved the Mac n Cheese especially and I’m a Mac n cheese Kraft specific kind of person. Service was great. Being any questions you have to tasting to avoid too mu...

Our guests were THRILLED with our dinner. We did a pig roast and many delicious sides - you MUST get the mac and cheese. It was phenomenal, every guest commented on the food and sa...
id it was the best BBQ they've ever had. It's hands down the best catering option if you want a relaxed mood with food served by professionals. Also, if you bring coolers, you can take home your leftovers! It's super affordable, with packages for every price point.
Food was delicious and fresh! Always fully stocked at the buffet. Staff was on their game and very pleasant to deal with.
We selected Divine Swine for our caterer because we wanted to keep the mood fun and upbeat without having a cheap looking buffet or a served dinner. They have a few different optio...
ns for plating; nice plates, silverware, and glasses all the way down to compostable everything! After dinner they brought out the actual pig that was roasted, they wrote our names on it with a heart, put some fun sunglasses on it, and left it out for a couple hours before leaving. The food was awesome, their servers were super friendly, and I am very happy with their service. .... the price wasn't bad, either!
Would highly recommend!!
All the food at Divine Swine is delicious! It's the perfect food if you're looking for a laid-back, comfy vibe. Also, they have vegetarian options and most of their menu is gluten ...
free. There was a lot of leftover food that they boxed up for us and we ended up eating it the week after the wedding (we never got sick of it... seriously, it's that good)! Also, the staff is extremely professional and fun. We would highly recommend them!
Divine Swine ROCKED. We had at least 15 people within the week after our wedding comment on how great the food was! They all especially wanted more of the cheesy potatoes :)
We ha...
d plenty of leftovers (that we were able to pull out the next day when we had people over for a post wedding celebration) and got all the food for a phenomenal price. Our venue let us use dishes for a very discounted price so Divine Swine was able to put together the bronze and silver package for us to make it work for us and use our venue's dishes, at a very reasonable price!!! I would eat Divine Swine again any day (with or without a wedding!!!)
THANK YOU!!!
The whole crew was wonderful to work with. The food was delicious, presented beautifully and well priced. Highly recommend them!
Divine Swine Catering was a great find at a local wedding fair. They were very generous and enthusiastic for us to try their foods and had excellent pricing and buffet options. Our...
tasting with them was a lot of fun and gave us a taste of a wide variety of everything they offer. Day of, they were prompt and professional and went above and beyond what was on our contract. All our guests could not say enough great things about their pork and BBQ sauce and how much they loved that German potato salad! I recommend them for any event you have and need great catering!
Divine Swine was truly DIVINE. They were timely, polite, and the food was AMAZING!
Complimentary tasting. The food was amazing. We had the beef and the shredded chicken. We also had two types of potatoes. The on-site staff wasn't the most friendly. He seemed anno...

n ate 3 plates. Every single item we ordered was great. The pulled ham was an absolute HIT!!!! The staff were fast and professional. The set up looked great. You get a food tasting before booking your event and they are so helpful. Not a single bad thing I could say about this company. EXCELLENT JOB!!!
Absolutely amazing. We were confident in hiring this company to cater our wedding (10/7/16), when we went for a taste test in early February. We chose two main dishes, and four sid...
es. I was blown away by how beautifully everything went the night of our wedding, and everything was set up perfectly. The staff was incredibly accommodating and so nice to everyone that went through the line. This was also the most affordable catering service I could find, and everyone was impressed with the meal.
Amazing food and so great to work with! The tasting was fun and quick and they were very communicative. They answered all questions quickly and we're very courteous. They catered o...
ur wedding this past weekend and everyone is still talking about how great the food was. Those mashed potatoes are to die for. Not only do they let you keep the leftovers, they packaged them up in to go containers for us. The catering staff was very professional and extremely helpful if we needed any little thing. And so fun to have the whole pig outside! Our guests raved about it and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommended. We opted for the silver package and everything looked awesome. Fed almost 225 for under $6000 including the extra for the China dishes. We would book them again in a heartbeat!
Divine Swine was amazing! The caterers were fun, friendly, and professional. The food was delicious (all the guests are still talking about it the week after the wedding) and serve...
d on time. There was plenty of food for our guests to have second and third helpings, and we ended up with leftovers! We got our cake through Divine Swine as well and it was SO good (and decorated nicely too!). We got the full roasted hog and the caterer came to find us before dinner to let us know we could take a photo with it - so nice! Divine Swine was a HUGE hit at our wedding and we highly recommend them!
Divine Swine was a huge hit at our wedding on September 23 at Day Block Event Center. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly, attentive and hard working. We received so ...
many compliments! I would highly recommend Divine Swine for any event!
Fun and Tasty! Divine Swine is definitely a family-oriented business, with their friendly staff and great communication it's hard not to love them! The pork is tender and delicious...
and the turkey is a great option too! Definitely don't skip the potato salad it was a crowd favorite!
The pig roast was awesome, but the roasted beef was even better!
We were looking for BBQ buffet for our wedding and Divine Swine was recommended by our venue coordinator. Even though our schedules didn’t allow us to do a tasting before booking ...
Divine Swine for our big day we could not have been more pleased. The service was wonderful, the prices were great, and everyone absolutely LOVED the food. It ended up being the perfect dinner for our June wedding. Anyone looking to have some delicious BBQ should seriously consider Divine Swine Catering for their event.
We fed close to 200 guests for under $6,000 and had leftovers to feed our family in town for almost a week! Great variety of side options, and nice to have different add on service...
arrangements. We chose their gold serving options with full service and stainless steel serving dishes, which made our buffet look so elegant. We both have extended families from rural Minnesota, whose diets mainly consist of 'meat and potatoes.' This was perfect for everyone!! Excellent BBQ sauce to go with the shredded pork and beef, along with potato salad and more.
Divine Swine catered our October wedding this year, and everyone raved about the food! It was a classic BBQ/picnic style pig roast complete with all the fixings! The pork and beef ...
was delectable. We chose garlic mashed potatoes and gravy, beans, Caesar salad and pasta salad as our sides. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was amazing! It tasted even better the day of than it did during our tasting.
The owner, Bruce, is great to work with! He let me pick up our utensils and napkins the week of our wedding, so I could wrap them how I wanted. Book them. You will not regret it!
Divine Swine really went above and beyond for our wedding. They were just fantastic!
We had a tasting with This Little Piggy as well, and we thought that the pig itself was m...
ore succulent and flavorful at Divine Swine, also the dishes and utensils at Divine Swine were of much higher quality than This Little Piggy.
But even more importantly, they were more than willing to do a number of custom items just for our wedding. We didn't want a normal "casual picnic pulled pork sandwich" dinner, instead we wanted to create the effect of a Bavarian chalet in winter with a wild boar with an apple in it's mouth (we couldn't get wild boar so a pig was as close as we could get), and the meat torn into larger pieces, meant to be served on a plate not in sandwich form. They also custom baked a recipe we gave them of apples with red onions in olive oil with balsamic vinaigrette to be placed onto of the pork (kinda like a pork loin dish with baked apples). How many wedding caterers would go through so much extra work?!
Also, they offer a number of different packages for tableware from disposable picnic style to porcelain dishes with linen tablecloths for a more elegant look--so you have a number of options based on the desired look of what you're going for.
It was incredibly affordable! Many of our friends spent upwards of $50/person for food at their weddings, we paid about $13/person for super meat, a vegetarian option, and a number of sides including our custom apple/onions side!
Additionally, they were happy to co-cater as we got gourmet salads from Cafe Latte to really dress up the dinner.
And the service in the planning process and the day of was just great! Lots of our wedding guests commented on how friendly and helpful the servers were.
Our guests have still be complimenting us on our food choice! Divine Swine was great, and we were able to still make our wedding classy (not like a picnic) Don't overlook them when...

hter's wedding reception. The server had the buffet set up quickly and began serving our guests a little earlier than was planned, which was wonderful - they were hungry!! Divine Swine guarantees to have plenty of food, and it was evident. Everyone got to eat as much as they wanted and we still had leftovers. We had planned for 125 and we were pretty spot on with our guest count, so it's not like there was a lot extra because people didn't show up. DS truly had plenty of food for everyone. We had one family member with dietary allergies, and DS made a separate dish for this one person. It was wonderful and we truly appreciated that they did this. After reading all the good reviews about Divine Swine and then going to our tasting, we knew we had found the right caterer and we were not disappointed!
This was quality, reasonably priced BBQ! We had compliments for weeks about the food at our reception. This vendor was flexible and easy to work with.
