I would highly recommend Rock n Rowan to anyone looking for incredible food for your event. From the first phone call with Jalena through the end of our event, everything was compl...
etely perfect. Every person I talked to at the wedding raved about how amazing the food was and that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. They provide very large portions and every item was delicious. I heard many people saying it was the best Mac and cheese and bbq sauce they have ever had. My favorite part was they grill on site so you could smell the food and it was fresh. I wish I had enough words to explain how impressed we were and grateful they made my daughter’s wedding so special. The food is a huge part of a wedding or celebration so book with Rock n Rowan and you will know you have the best food possible.

rare perfectly cooked. All of the side dishes were delicious and plentyful. I am not a big pork and beans person, however I had tasted them at the food tasting and became a believer.
I cannot tell you how much we appreciated the service, the smiles on there faces and generous portions they gave. There professionalism is beyond reproach. We would give them six stars if we could. We would recommend Rock'n Rowans's BBQ to anyone who enjoys good delicious food, great service and left overs.

We were so glad to have Rock'n Rowan's BBQ cater our wedding! Firstly, the food was SO GOOD. We heard a lot of compliments among guests; the salmon and potatoes were personally my ...
fave. They even were able to accommodate a handful of vegan and vegetarian guests. They sent us home with plenty of leftovers, and it was so nice to have many delicious meals in the days following as we got back to our routine post-wedding.
Besides the food, Rock'n Rowan's provided a fantastic bartender throughout the reception, and it was nice having them handle plates and napkins. They were so easy to work with throughout the planning process and on the day-of, and the price point is unbeatable (we were about ready to elope after trying to fit other caterers into our budget). Thanks Anthony and Jalena for making the meal such a memorable part of our day!!
From the very beginning Jalena and Anthony were very helpful and always were prompt to answer any questions that I had. We do not live in CA and had our friends go to the tasting. ...
They were highly impressed and so I knew I wanted Rock n Rowan was the company I wanted to go with. Few months later my venue canceled on us 2 months before the big day. We were super stressed since we had to find a new venue. The venue we found that fit our budget was not able to accommodate the food being cooked on premises and we had to go about having a precooked options. Anthony and Jalena understood how upset we were but assured the food would still be good. They were absolutely right! All of our guests commented on how good everything tasted. I am amazed how well everything g turned out even with the all the hiccups we had they made sure our day would still be amazing!
Rock'n Rowan's was absolutely the best! The food is INCREDIBLE and the service was amazing, they make sure that the bride and groom get their food first by bringing right to your t...

heir food sold us right away!! Once at the wedding, they were ready on time, had a great set up, and the food was incredible!! It was even better than I remembered at the tasting. Everyone at our wedding raves about the food and how delicious everything was. Even our pickiest guests went back for seconds! Their bartending services were top notch as well. They were friendly to all our guests and their drinks were mixed well! I was so happy with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Rock'n Rowan's for your next event!

d we were given above and beyond service and food. From the moment guests were eating dinner, we heard from everyone just how amazing the food was from the Tri Tip, Chicken, Veggies, and Scalloped Potatoes and to the Salad, we were even told days after the wedding how great the food was. Thank you Rock'n Rowan's BBQ for the best food and service!! They are recommended 1000% and will be contacting them again for any future events!
The Rowan's and their team were amazing throughout the entire process. Even from the tasting, the food was great and they were just so great to work with. Clear and speedy communic...
ation in the months and weeks leading to the wedding. They were so flexible in the closing weeks to accommodate some last minute requests from us.
They are experienced professionals and just handled it on the day of the wedding, making it so stress-free for my wife and I, and even fixed us our own plates for both cocktail hour appetizers and the main course so we could have time to eat and enjoy our food.
What I loved most about Rock'n Rowan's BBQ was how fresh and delicious their food was. You can smell the BBQ being made as they cook on site. We could've paid much more for food made off site and reheated at the venue with another vendor, so I'm glad we went with the Rowan's instead.
Thanks Rock'n Rowan's!
I just had a 100+ person wedding this past weekend and we have not stopped hearing such positive feedback as to how DELICIOUS the food was for the event! Literally everyone loved t...
he food. Not only did Anthony & Jalena make sure each and every single person was served and fed but handled everything so smoothly. On top of that, they certainly made the entire experience so seemless and easy for such an important aspect to the celebration. Would highly recommend their service as it's guaranteed your party will enjoy the meal. Anthony & Jalena, we cannot thank you enough for everything this weekend !
