Old Blue BBQ

Highly recommend Old Blue for wedding catering! Kari and her team were great to work with, and all of the food was delicious. We did a BBQ buffet for a 50-person wedding reception and our guests raved about the food. Being able to borrow decor from Old Blue free of charge is also a great perk!

If you are holding a catered event in the DC area and not using Old Blue BBQ, I hold that you are doing it wrong. I highly recommend them. We planned a rehearsal dinner from several states away and could not have been more pleased with the process and results. We desired great BBQ and fantastic event coordination and got it in Kari’s team. From the communication, to the tasting, to the suggestions, to the setup and decorations, to the clean up - Kari was an absolute gem. And the food. Oh my goodness. As a BBQ buff I am always concerned about catered smoked meats. Not here. Old Blue is the real thing. We received multiple compliments on the food we served. And I may have kept eating the leftovers all weekend long. If we ever have another event in the area I am only contacting one place.

I wasn't sure about barbecue for a wedding, but Old Blue made me a believer. They went above and beyond to curate a fantastic, delicious menu. They make by far the most amazing barbecue! Not only that, they made a special regional dish at the grooms' request, and another regional hors d'ouevre at my daughter's request (the bride). They worked very closely with us to make sure the food was exactly what we wanted. I don't know any other caterer who would even consider this! Days after, people were still raving about the food! This review is not complete without a big thank you to Keri - who helped immeasurably with decorating, and preparing for the reception - she is awesome! In fact the whole team is amazing! They are in Alexandria, but they cover most of northern Virginia. I highly recommend this caterer for any party or celebration!

We are so happy we picked Old Blue to cater our wedding! As a couple that met in KC, a fantastic barbeque dinner for our reception was the perfect way to celebrate! Throughout the whole planning process, Kari and team did an amazing job explaining to us what they needed from us and were more than happy to answer our endless amount of questions. Months later we still get comments about how good the food was. Finally, the bridal share was an absolute lifesaver for us as it helped us get a lot of ‘one off’ items that are needed for a wedding.

Kari & her team were a great addition to my wedding vendor team. Kari was always quick to respond to emails and very helpful with any changes I need especially when it came to a fluctuating guest count last minute. She even made an additional trip to my venue pre-wedding day to make sure all the logistics were in order. My only request was that I got to eat mac and cheese on my wedding day and they absolutely delivered! The food was top notch and my guests were talking about it all weekend. Even with a buffet service, the team was kind enough to bring plates to my grandparents at the table and they packed up to to go boxes for my husband and I to eat that night. They are truly the type of vendor that cares about you as a person and not about how your event fits into their portfolio. Thank you Kari and team for an excellent night!

We absolutely LOVED old blue! They went above and beyond on our wedding day, and with everything beforehand. We did our food tasting and walkthrough early on, so they even did a final walkthrough the week-of to make sure everything was perfect. Kari and Amanda were SO helpful. We didn't have a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, but we truly didn't need one because they were SO on top of it and extremely generous with their time and resources. They really are a full service team - they did all the decor and brought all the table linens, tables, etc. They arranged absolutely everything and made sure the transitions from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception/dancing were perfect. They (FOR FREE) provided table decor (candles, table #s, vases) through their "Bride Share" program. We also dropped off all our own alcohol/signs/rug/welcome table stuff to their office the week before the wedding - this was SO helpful so we didn't have to bring it all to the venue ourselves. Kari in particular was SO responsive helping us plan every detail. It goes without saying, the food was incredible! Everyone loved it (even vegetarians) and raved about it after. They staffed the bar and whole event, made sure we ate, helped with the cake cutting (we also did their dessert package and just got a small cake for the formal cutting), packed us food to go, and cleaned up everything. SO easy to work with and affordable. No stress at all. They were looking for ways to save us money and we felt like we didn't compromise anything but still got a great price. Highly recommend!!!

Old Blue BBQ is AMAZING! Once we did our initial tasting with them, we knew we had to have them for our wedding. The staff at Old Blue are super helpful, timely with responses, and truly care about what they do. They made everything a breeze with food and tables/chairs/linens. The menu they have to choose from has a great variety. Our guests could not stop raving about the food, saying how flavorful everything was. They do all setting up and cleaning up and will help with any decor set up as well. They even have a bridal share where you can borrow decor from previous weddings so you don't have to buy everything yourself. So if you want amazing food that will keep your guests wanting more, you definitely need to go with Old Blue.

We used Old Blue BBQ for our wedding in May, and they were AMAZING. From their delicious food to their helpful day of coordinator, it was all better than expected. Kari, their day of coordinator, went above and beyond both before the wedding and day of. Taking care of all the little details to make sure everything was perfect and ran smoothly. She knows how to run an event and helped make the day memorable.  As for the mouth-watering food. We knew it was good from the tasting but after dinner, we had almost every guest tell us it was the best BBQ and wedding food they have had. The brisket was totally the star of the show, but the apps and sides were huge hits.  The staff for the wedding was professional and so helpful. Bartenders were friendly and made good drinks. The event staff worked quickly to change over the venue space from the ceremony to dinner and did a great job getting things cleaned up at the end of the event. Couldn't have asked for a better wedding, thanks to Old Blue BBQ!

Old blue has AMAZING food, no doubt. But Kari earned our 5 stars all on her own. She was organized, helpful, and pleasant. She not only made me feel confident our decor would look like I dreamt but she assured me it would all run smoothly (which of course it did). She became someone I could talk to like a friend and I can’t wait to work with old blue again, specifically with Kari. 10/10 recommend for brides and events!

Old Blue BBQ was such an easy decision for our wedding catering! My older sister had used them for her wedding and we were just so impressed with their food, efficiency, organization and generosity, that my family knew we had to use them again! They had never worked at our venue before, however they were proactive and visited/met with the owners of our venue to scope out the space and make sure they were all on the same page. We were so impressed by this and knew we were in such great hands! We completely trusted Old Blue with our wedding, which relieved us from so much stress through the wedding planning process. We worked closely with both Kelly and Kari and they were both so sweet, patient, friendly, creative, fun and accommodating with our many questions and adjustments we made along the way. They were terrific from start to finish. The highlight of Old Blue is their bride share that’s included! They have so much variety of cute decor that fits any style. We received many compliments from guests on how they loved their meals. They were also very accommodating with my groom’s gluten-free needs and one of our guest’s vegan need. We just love Old Blue and plan on picking up their food for regular dinners from now on. Thank you Old Blue BBQ!!

Old Blue BBQ was amazing for our wedding last month! From the first time we met Kelly and her team for a tasting all the way to wedding day, they were incredible. Supportive, friendly, flexible - They work with you to take care of you. The food is awesome. The brisket was everyone's favorite, but everyone raved about everything from the signature drinks to passed apps too. Classy and professional. Original sauces and twists on original bbq favorites, you will not be disappointed - And most importantly, you can trust Kelly and Old Blue to take care of you!

Run, do not walk to go book your wedding reception catering with Old Blue BBQ. Kelly and her team were phenomenal and the food for our wedding was the BEST! They paid extra attention and detail to some of myself, and my families gluten allergies and we even got to eat mac&cheese and corn bread on my wedding day without fear of being sick!! Kelly was almost like an extra wedding planner for us, going above and beyond multiple times outside of what I ever expected from a catering company. My wife and I seriously wanted to stay and hang out with her team because they were just so down to earth, helpful and COOL! We can't wait for our next party to have for an excuse to order more BBQ!! Thank you for everything.

We are so, so happy we went with Old Blue for our wedding. Kelly & her team really took the time to meet us where we were at and understand our vision for the day. On top of food and seating (our two biggest needs), they added so many special touches to make our ceremony & cocktail hour look gorgeous. They worked seamlessly with our venue and coordinator, and we never had to worry about a thing. Not to mention the staff was incredibly professional and the food - THE FOOD! - was was unreal. We would heartily recommend Old Blue to anyone looking for a caterer - they are such a wonderful gem to the DMV.

I cannot speak highly enough of Old Blue BBQ and Kelly Lloyd as our full service caterer for our wedding. We knew from our tasting that we were in good hands with Old Blue. We were initially drawn to Old Blue for their excellent food, service and bride share (wedding decor they have accumulated). Like many 2020 weddings, we ended up postponing and Old Blue was not only flexible but Kelly was incredibly nice and supportive as we worked through rescheduling (twice!). The actual wedding went off without a hitch, largely due to Kelly and her staff. Not only was the food and service excellent, but Old Blue handled the set-up, room flip, breakdown, and table decor - a lot of which we got from their bride share (we did not need a day of or event coordinator). On top of hiring them for our wedding, we have ordered take out from them several times which has always been great!

OBBQ staff are professionals with years of experience in the industry and you can tell! Thanks to them, our wedding was a huge success. They were so helpful during our wedding planning process and everything they did was so thoughtful and for the benefit of making sure our wedding day went well. The food was fantastic, bar service, set up and breakdown, everything. They were so accommodating and great to work with!

Old blue was exceptional in every way! They were incredibly helpful in the planning of our wedding and a very active participant in the details of our wedding. They went above and beyond. Guests were blown away by the quality of their food and their cocktail/ bar service. We are very thankful for kelly and kari’s help and for how friendly and personable each member of their staff was. We will continue to use old blue in the future because they are the gold standard.

Amazing! Kelly and the rest of the team were top notch people. The food was so good and the staff was on point at every step of the process. Hands down, if you are looking for a wedding caterer, this needs to be at the top of your list. The go above an beyond to make sure your day is what you dreamed it would be.

Old Blue BBQ was the BEST choice for our wedding catering! From day one, after our first phone call, we knew we had found a special team, special food, and special fun! They have so much experience working with the venues in the area as well as catering itself which helped us tremendously with so many of our decisions. Kari and Kelly were beyond helpful, friendly, fun, understanding, patient, and accommodating with our many questions, changes, and individual needs. We love them! We trusted them wholeheartedly and were so excited that they were a part of our day! The bridal share inclusion is one of the most unique and beneficial aspects of Old Blue BBQ. Any bride-to-be would fall in love with their adorable decor! Our guests raved about the meal and we plan on picking up their food on the regular from now on. Thank you and love you Old Blue BBQ!

I don't even know how to start this review because words can't describe how much I loved working with Old Blue BBQ for our wedding. Not only was the food delicious (so many people told us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had - including vegetarians and vegans) but Kelly and Kari made the process SO SEAMLESS! We has to reschedule our wedding due to Covid, and the team was so accommodating with switching venues, dates and menus since we went from a fall to summer menu - they even let us come in to do another tasting! Not only were they incredible caterers, but they also acted as partial wedding planners as well, assisting and making suggestions for our with our timeline, table decor, etc. etc. Don't hesitate - hire Old Blue BBQ!!

ook care of everything! So first and foremost the food was DELICIOUS. Like people are still talking about it delicious! Which is of course what you want out of a caterer, but even more important to me as a bride planning a wedding with unexpected COVID complications, the team at Old Blue took so much off of my plate. They have decor you can borrow, they worked seamlessly with my venue 48 fields so I barely had to think about anything set up/decor related, they transported all of our alcohol and decor to the venue (I dropped it off with them the week before), and had awesome suggestions for bar menu etc. The team on the day of was super fun and did a great job (even making sure that I got the last of the mac and cheese sent home with me!). Could not have made a better choice for our caterer!

Let me tell you about our experience booking Old Blue BBQ for our wedding. We are so, so happy with our decision. We received tons of compliments from our wedding guests on our BBQ buffet (inclusive of vegans, vegetarians, and those with allergies). Everything was delicious: brisket, salmon, pulled chicken, mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, and appetizers. The sauces were such a hit! Most importantly, Kelly was so supportive and calming throughout the planning process. She patiently answered our silly questions, our frantic phone calls, and even helped me bustle my dress in the height of the dance floor fun. We will be reaching back out if we ever plan another big event. Love you guys!

The whole team at Old Blue, especially Kelli the coordinator, were fantastic. They were efficient and professional, the food was amazing and they were so flexible when we called to adjust our order down due to COVID. They also rolled with the punches when we called two days before the event to make a few changes due to the weather (swapping out some cold beverages for warm ones at the hospitality booth and throughout the reception).

We used Old Blue for our minimony last year (7/20) and for our rehearsal dinner for our big wedding this year (5/21) and both times did not disappoint! Kari is extremely responsive and helpful anytime we had a question or needed to change something. The food is PHENOMENAL... some of the best BBQ and mac n' cheese I've ever had in my life. 10/10 would recommend!

We primarily worked with Kari-- she was awesome! She fielded so many questions from us and helped to guide us to have the right amount of food and drink. Her service was incredible. She helped with the decor and guided us through their decor-sharing program which saved us money on centerpieces. I really felt that she listened to our concerns and needs. We would absolutely love to hire Old Blue (especially Kari) for another event. Additionally, the food is incredible. We had so many guests going for seconds on the ribs and mac n' cheese. Additionally, their crisps are the perfect fall dessert. Thank you to Kari and everyone at Old Blue!

Old Blue BBQ was an incredible caterer for our wedding! I highly recommend them not only for weddings, but any event where you want great BBQ! During the wedding planning process, my wife and I had planned to do tasting with other potential caterers, but after the tasting with Kari and Old Blue, we were seriously blown away and ended up booking them that day! Needless to say, we were not disappointed by our decision and they were AWESOME throughout the rest of the planning process and on our wedding day. First thing to note - The food was INCREDIBLE. I've had good BBQ, but Old Blue is not just a run-of-the-mill BBQ spot - Old Blue is definitely in the top tier in the DMV area. My friends and family are not usually ones to comment on food at weddings, but I had guests reach both during and after the wedding praising the food and asking me where Old Blue was so they could order BBQ from them! In addition to great food, Old Blue had incredible service throughout the entire process! Before the wedding, Kari was always available to help when we had questions or concerns. Before we booked, she worked with us on price to keep us within our budget! Once we booked them, Old Blue gave us access to their bridal share - which has tons of decorations, centerpieces, etc that they allow you to use for your wedding. This is a huge time and money saver when it comes to figuring out that part of the wedding! On the wedding day, Old Blue's team was so friendly, helpful, and fun throughout the night! Our wedding was during COVID, so the team had extra precautions/ measures they had to put in place, which they did a great job of implementing and following to keep guests safe. I legitimately have no complaints about even a small detail - Old Blue and the team were awesome and we were extremely happy we booked them! Our guests were very impressed by not only the delicious food, but also the food & bar service they provided as well. If you book Old Blue, you will not be disappointed, and your guests will rave about the food and the friendly service!

Old Blue BBQ was such an amazing vendor to work with for our wedding day and we couldn't be happier we chose them! Kari was our primary POC and she went above & beyond to ensure we LOVED not only the food but every detail of the day. The food was incredible--so much so that we barely had leftovers because everyone kept going back for more! They were great in helping us work with our price-point. They also have a great bride-share service where you can choose lots of fun centerpiece decor for the day. It was awesome not having to worry about purchasing vases, wood rounds (which are crazy expensive!), table numbers, or any of those other details and know they had me covered (another huge savings for us!). Kari was incredibly on top of everything leading up to the wedding and helped me think of things I would have otherwise never thought about. The day of the event, Kari's team was ON IT. They consistently checked in with me and my husband to see if we needed anything at all, and even checked in on our family members and catered a little more to them too. The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and helpful to all of our guests, and truly helped make the day so awesome. The bartenders were also truly great--they kept our guests happy, and if our guests were starting to get a little too "tipsy" they mellowed out the drinks or helped them find some good ol' H2O. :) We will recommend them time and time again, we really couldn't have chosen a better vendor for catering! If they're on your list, BOOK Old Blue BBQ!

We hired Old Blue to do our nontraditional wedding. We got married in my parents backyard. Kari wasn't shaken at all by the task. They helped with decor (through their amazing brideshare), layout, dinnerware rentals, getting beer kegs, etc. Really, they were up for helping with almost anything and they delivered on all fronts. Kari also handled last minute changes, family tensions, and stress flawlessly. She was extremely attentive, friendly, and supportive throughout the process.This is all without even mentioning how amazing their food is. SERIOUSLY AMAZING! We go nonstop compliments on the dinner and all of my work friends were discussing their favorite appetizers when I returned to work. During the wedding they were very attentive of my husband and I, making sure we had eaten and gotten anything we needed. This was a must during the hustle and bustle of it all! I would hire Old Blue first and then pick a venue based on where they can work. We loved them that much. They also have great suggestions on other vendors! Don't miss out on hiring this amazing crew!

Pick this company to cater your wedding!! They get five stars for quality, price, and professionalism. Old Blue BBQ catered our wedding in Washington DC and literally everyone said it was the best wedding meal they ever had! Kelly was so easy to work with and talked to us like friends, not a stuffy client-vendor relationship. The barbecue is out of this world! They also provided small bottles of sauce and bags of spice rub as a parting gift for our guests which everyone loved. The day of our wedding the catering staff was supremely professional and I honestly never saw any of them, yet the food continued to be replenished and the whole set up looked polished and beautiful. It was clear from our conversations and meeting with Kelly that she is a seasoned professional, as she had TONS of amazing advice about our entire wedding vision and schedule. Another plus of using this company is they have tons of free décor to select from for your event. It's mostly rustic but it worked in our downtown cocktail bar venue just fine. Kelly: Thank you so much for making our wedding amazing!!

We had an excellent experience with Old Blue BBQ. The food was incredible. Our vegetarian and meat eating friends both ranted and raved. Highlights were squash casserole, pulled pork and salmon. My husband and I had no real plan for our wedding and Kellie and Kari totally guided us into an awesome event and handled all the logistics. We even dramatically switched venues and the theme in the middle of planning. The whole event turned out to be seamless and stress free!

Easily my favorite vendor from our wedding, by far!! Kelly was AMAZING and made everything so easy. I probably sent her a million emails and she was so patient with me (sorry Kelly!). And the food - to die for. Everyone is still raving about it. Kelly and her team took such good care of all our guests, but especially us, making sure we had food and beverages all night. They also helped us out so much with allowing us to choose a lot of our decor from their Brideshare collection, which was super helpful!! We can't wait to figure out a way to use them again - soon!!

Old Blue helped make our wedding the perfect event. Their food is exceptional! Easily the best BBQ we’ve had with sides that blend the best of cuisine and comfort food. Kelly and her staff took such great care of our family and friends. Working with Old Blue was a great experience throughout and we could not recommend them more highly!

Our guests loved the food at our wedding! If you're looking for an upscale version of barbecue food, this is the place to go. Not only was the food delicious, but the planning help I received from them was priceless. I didn't have a wedding planner, but Shannon at Old Blue BBQ was on top of every detail down to the welcome table, seating chart, bars, etc. She came out to our venue to look around and gave us many ideas/provided many necessary extras that I didn't even think of. I definitely recommend Old Blue BBQ!

Kelly and her team were simply excellent. We had a small backyard family wedding and kelly’s advice on set up, pairings, and schedule of events was invaluable. The whole team was so laid back, easy to work work with and put a premium on how we wanted the day to go. The food is incredible, all our guests were raving about the ‘classy bbq’ style. They set up stations for us to create tapas-like small plates, avoiding the long line buffet problem. We really appreciate the whole crew at Old Blue!

Hire Old Blue BBQ - you will not be disappointed. They were hands down the easiest and best group of people to work with - from our intimate tasting at their kitchen to the brideshare, help with all the rentals, and perfect day-of-execution. And of course, THE FOOD ... let me tell you about the food. It is a show stopper - people are still talking about our wedding food as some of the best BBQ they've ever had. Everything was fantastic and all of their staff was just absolutely delightful. I cannot say enough good things about Kelly and the whole crew at Old Blue.

Old Blue BBQ was the most incredible wedding caterer we ever could have imagined! Kelly was absolutely amazing every step of the way, from the first day we contacted her to the day off. We did not have a wedding planner or day of coordinator, but Kelly was extremely integral in making our wedding flow and go on without a hitch. She and the rest of the staff worked their magic the day of, through sun and unexpected rains. We were hooked from our first tasting and all the food on our wedding day did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious BBQ with variety for us to personalize our menu. It was difficult to decide because everything was so tasty! We can't say enough positive things about Old Blue BBQ. Thanks Kelly and Stephen for making our wedding unforgettable!

One of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Old Blue BBQ as our caterer! From the initial tasting, to the day-of, Kelly was fantastic throughout the entire process. First of all, the food is down-right delicious. You’ll have such a hard time choosing the menu for your big day because everything is so yummy! We especially loved the mac & cheese and maple dijon brussel sprouts, but you truly cannot go wrong :) While the food is amazing, working with Kelly truly made our experience. She is so professional, knowledgeable, and kind, and consistently went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. From sharing ideas on place settings, providing guidance on day-of logistics, and answering our many questions along the way, Kelly was such a joy to work with and honestly helped relieve so much of our stress leading up to the big day. During the planning process, she thought of all the finer details that we would have missed, and also spent time walking us through Old Blue’s ‘bride share’ space to pick out décor pieces that we wanted to incorporate into our reception. In addition to the awesome food and Kelly’s expertise, the option to use lanterns, votive candles, and other accessories from the bride share will make you feel even more like you’re getting the most bang for your buck! On the day of, Kelly was so helpful and made sure everything went off without a hitch! She truly played such an instrumental role in making our dream wedding a reality, orchestrating the set-up of the cocktail hour & reception space, directing our guests to the buffet in an orderly manner, styling our dessert bar, and staying in command of everything. We could not have been happier with our experience with Old Blue BBQ, and highly recommend Kelly and her team!

I booked old blue for my catering, set up and clean up service. It was the best decision I could of made for my wedding. Shannon and the team went above and beyond for my special day. The food was AMAZING the service was OUTSTANDING. Every wedding has its hiccups and Shannon handled it all so well I didn't know anything had gone wrong until after the wedding was over. I cannot recommend Old blue enough. They truly made my wedding day the special successful day that it was. P.S. get the Brussels sprouts they are to die for

Old Blue BBQ IS LEGIT! We cannot speak highly enough about them and there team. We worked specifically with Shannon and Kelly and they were amazing. Not all wedding vendors are made the same, especially when you are planning a wedding from across the country combined with turning into a crazy stress filled bride as the day grows closer, and the care and responsiveness that we received from these two honestly helped us not lose our minds. From the day we had the tasting (honestly only ended up having a tasting with them because they were so great from day 1) to the day of everything was of the highest quality. They handled the service, the bar, and most importantly the food....and we STILL over a year later get comments on the food. Plus they brought out apps and drinks to the bridal party during pictures and made us a plate at the sweetheart table. We cannot sing their praises enough and they truly helped our day run smoothly and made it memorable.

Kelly and her team at Old Blue BBQ are truly incredible. The food is amazing and the service is just as good. Kelly helped guide us throughout the planning process and ensured that our day flowed seamlessly. From guiding us through our food tastings and rentals to helping me make decisions with our other venue, Old Blue BBQ goes above and beyond for their customers. Our guests are still raving over the food (especially the brisket) and I can only hope to attend a wedding where Old Blue BBQ is catering so I can have this food again! Thank you Kelly for helping to make our day perfect : )

My son & daughter-in-law were married on Saturday May 6, 2018 and we used Old Blue BBQ in Alexandria as our caterer for the semi-casual reception dinner. We were invited to go with the bride and groom for the tasting several months prior to the wedding. The selection of foods that we sampled including appetizers were absolutely delicious well presented, and hard to choose from. The day of the wedding Old Blue arrived on time and set up the reception in the barn that went along with the wedding theme of Vintage Chic. They arranged the tables, linens, table settings, and table decorations along with guidance from the wedding planner. The appetizers were delicious and seemed to satisfy the crowd waiting during pictures. The bar was set up and managed well. The buffet style dinner was absolutely awesome. The food was plenty, organized, and delicious. The caterers stayed until the end of the reception packing up the extra food, breaking down tables, putting up chairs, cleaning up, and taking the trash for the evening with them. I would recommend Old Blue BBQ to anyone having a semi- causal reception. They are professional, on time, and more than prepared, and most importantly the food was enjoyed and delicious.

LOVED the food! I worked with Kelly for a backyard BBQ feel for my rehearsal dinner, and planned a fantastic menu with setup. The staff was prompt to setup/takedown the equipment, and the food was served warm in awesome little crates with the name of the food written down on a chalk board. Such a casual feel, with killer BBQ to boot! Decided on brisket, pulled chicken, mac and cheese, potato salad, mini cornbread, cole slaw, pickles, four types of BBQ sauces, and some appetizers. VERY fairly priced, and so easy to work with; I would book this company again in a heartbeat!

Old Blue BBQ catered our wedding in October 2016, and we could not have asked for a better vendor for the occasion. Kelly and Shannon were fantastic; they kept to our budget, providing guidance and advice, toured the venue with us making suggestions and helping coordinate with the venue owner. The catering staff were great, received nothing but compliments from our guest, especially regarding the food. We had an outside wedding which had to be relocated the day of the wedding to inside the barn because of rain, and Old Blue jumped into action, rearranging the space and turning it into a ceremony location. Shannon arranged for the bridal party to be served a plate of appetizers while the photos were being taken as well as drinks because of the distance from one location to the other on the farm. We had several guests who had various food allergies, and Shannon and the staff went above and beyond, creating new menu items as well as making sure our guests did not have any food issues. Shannon took care of every detail, including taking care of one of the guests -- my mother-in-law -- who had broken her ankle and was confined to a wheelchair. Everything went smoothly from beginning to end, including a fantastic clean up and provided containers with our left-overs which was gratefully accepted by my co-workers.

I can’t say enough good things about Old Blue BBQ! Kelly and the team were so professional, helpful and just fun to work with. AND their food is amazing. You will not have any complaints about humdrum wedding food if you go with Old Blue. On top of the spectacular food, they were so helpful in the wedding planning process. Often when discussing catering options, Kelly gave us the easy option of them handling it or the budget option on how to do it ourselves with lots of advice. We were able to pick out a lot of decor items to use from their ‘bridal share’ stash, which saved us a ton of money on buying our own. On the day of, their staff took care of so much, from setting up everything up to making sure we were taken care of all night.

Kelly and her team at Old Blue BBQ are phenomenal. Everything from start to finish was perfection. Kelly brought an incredible amount of knowledge and excellent recommendations to our meetings leading up to our wedding. She did so much more than bring our vision to life while staying within our budget. Of course my husband and I (and so many of our wedding guests) loved the food and couldn't stop raving about it. The ribs, salmon, pulled chicken, peach bourbon beans, roasted root vegetables and everything else was mouth watering. The bridal share of goodies was the perfect ribbon we needed to tie all of our decor together. Most importantly, Kelly and her staff are very professional and we felt so comfortable (and relieved) that they were running the show. This team comes highly recommended.
