Loved the food for our wedding! Our guests raved about it as well. They had a ton of options and were able to cater almost the entire wedding as gluten free for me. Plus they noted...
some other allergies as well. It’s even self serve so people could take what they wanted to eat without judgement, though my brothers pointed out that there is a downside to this after eating 4 pieces of brisket. Thanks for keeping us fed!
Sugarfire was a highlight of my wedding day! The guests could not stop raving about the food, and the planning process was super easy. I have Celiac and have multiple family member...
s who require allergen-friendly food, and we were able to come up with a menu that was completely gluten free and did not contain any of the allergies that we wanted to avoid. Highly recommend!!
Sugarfire (Wentzville) catered our wedding with the most amazing buffet at Valley Farms. Randi was great to work with. For appetizers, we had the meatballs, caprese skewers and shr...
imp. And for dinner, the brisket, turkey, baked beans, hashbrown casserole, and mixed vegetables. Everyone raved about how delicious the food was and that they loved that we picked bbq!
We have zero regrets about having sugarfire as our catering vendors!! The employees were absolutely wonderful, professional and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing. The bride ...
and groom got to fully enjoy their plate during the reception. Multiple guests had also mentioned that the food tasted great. Shoutout to sugarfire for working with us through email and making the actual day turn out extremely easy! There were zero questions about setup and they got everything done in a timely manner. Thank you guys so much for the great service. I highly recommend Sugarfire for catering for any event!!!
Everyone talked about how good the food was at our wedding, we are definitely happy we chose Sugarfire. However, we did end up with a lot of leftover food and cake--we were especia...
lly disappointed about the leftover cake since not all of our guests got some and we had assumed it was because we ran out, only to find out we ended up with more than half of one of our flavors. Wish we would have been a bit more attentive to that during our wedding and discussed ahead of time what all was included in their cake cutting services.
We contracted Sugarfire to provide appetizers, a bar, and a catered dinner buffet for our wedding reception at the Butterfly House, and it was such a great choice. The food is amaz...
ing, way better than you get with your typical wedding cater packages (dry chicken, mediocre steak, bland salmon, etc.), and at a better price than you will find elsewhere. Don't buy into the idea that buffets are "low quality" or not fancy enough for a wedding, Sugarfire provided wedding quality service and delicious food that guests were raving about. Bar services were great and unlike some caterers who purposely provide slow bar service for an open bar to limit orders, Sugarfire was cranking out drinks at a pace that the guests couldn't even keep up if they wanted to. They also will let you do a tasting ahead of time at their restaurant to try most of the offered appetizers, entrees, and sides, to help you select your package. I would recommend doing this as some of the dishes, especially sides, surprised us with how good they were, and ultimately the tasting was representative of what we got wedding night. If you don't have time to go for a tasting, we went with toasted ravs, bacon wrapped figs, and caprese skewers for appetizers, brisket, pulled pork, and salmon for our entrees, and cheesy hash browns, mixed vegetables, and baked beans for sides, and were very happy with it all. To top it all off, at the end of the night they pack up all the extras for you to take home. We had enough barbecue to last a house of 4 two+ weeks.
Sugarfire is always amazing, but their catering was top tier. We had several guests come up to us throughout the night saying that was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had. They ...
arrived on time, had everything set up nicely and quickly, they cleaned everything up efficiently afterwards as well. The bar service was great, and their attentiveness to guests was so professional. Overall they did an amazing job. Sugarfire should be at the top of every engaged couple’s caterer list!

My husband and I got married at Westwind Hills in Pacific, MO and one of their preferred caterers to choose from was Sugarfire Smokehouse at 44/141. We were BEYOND happy with this ...
decision to have them cater our wedding. It was so much fun getting to work with their catering manager Abby. She is amazing at what she does and truly values the couples wants/needs when it comes to catering a wedding. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and how kind the staff was. I would pick specifically this Sugarfire location a million times over if I could!!
Abby was a huge help to us when we had our wedding tasting last weekend! She is so knowledgeable, friendly, and helped us so much when it came to narrowing down our top choices. Ev...

easy to work with and super helpful from our initial tasting to the day of the event. We also very much appreciated their flexibility when things got a little off schedule. Thank you Sugarfire!! We are so very happy we chose you as our caterer!
We highly recommend using Sugarfire for your wedding! The team put together a brunch menu for our Sunday afternoon wedding. There were so many options to choose from on the menu -...
and we were overwhelmed by the final results. All of the guests commented on how delicious the food was at our wedding. My father is trying to recreate the incredible waffle recipe that all of the guests were talking about.
And beyond the delicious food - the team at Sugarfire was great to work with. They were responsive and helpful. We added hot water to the menu (so guests could make tea) and they accommodated the request with no problems! And we had a guest with a dairy allergy that Sugarfire went out of their way to accommodate. The team placed the table runners on our tables and really went above and beyond the make the day smooth. Our venue team commented that they always love working with the Sugarfire team - so their exceptional service is noticed by everyone you are working with as well as those attending your wedding.
We highly recommend Sugarfire and the brunch menu (just don't skip the waffles)!

e it was during covid, they personally created items that were not on the menu that we wanted, and catered to all of our dietary needs. All our guests were raving all night long about how delicious our food was, and Kris took care of so much so we were worry free. They even set up and packaged our snack bar and dessert table (which came from our family members, not provided by sugarfire). We really couldn't have asked for anything better, and the team was so friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much Kris!

Sugarfire catered our wedding and they were absolutely phenomenal! We got the Platinum Carving Package and they killed it, exceeding our expectations in every way--actually, the fo...
od at our wedding was even better than in the restaurant, which was already a frequent destination for us. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the food all night, and we received inquiries about our caterer for weeks following the event. Sugarfire gives you a huge bang for your buck in terms of both food and professionalism. They're most famous for the meats, (the brisket and salmon were delicious), but their vegetarian selection is wonderful as well; the mushroom ravioli, which we've never seen in the restaurant, was a particular hit. They specially plated meals for our vegan guests as well. We picked up the catering menu after trying their location in downtown Indianapolis and planned everything via email and phone for our wedding in downtown St. Louis with their lovely event manager, Jessica. We chose an assortment of all their pies for dessert instead of a wedding cake and it was a great decision. Highly recommend for all your catering needs!
We chose Sugarfire as our wedding caterer, and would highly recommend! In general, we love Sugarfire, so we were happy to see that they were one of the vendors available at our ve...
nue (Silver Oaks Chateau). We scheduled our initial consultation with Sugarfire which included a tasting and meeting to prepare the proposal. We worked with Heather and Jessica throughout the process and they were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious, and everyone loved it! We also had two people who follow a gluten free diet, and Sugarfire was able to accommodate- They were blown away by the gluten free options, and Sugarfire even served them individual plates to ensure it was gluten free. We also were able to add two signature drinks to our bar menu about a week out from our wedding and they were an absolute hit. Again, we would highly recommend Sugarfire and loved working with them!
Sugarfire was simply amazing! If you want GREAT food and wonderful service- hire Sugarfire. If you wan't average food and high prices- hire somebody else! Our guests couldn't stop ...
talking about the quality and variety of the food. My wife/I were impressed with the quality, friendliness and overall service from everyone at SugarFire. Some people might be concerned about hiring a BBQ for their wedding dinner. However, Sugarfire isn't your typical BBQ. We had Brisket, Turkey, Turkey and some wonderful side dishes for our dinner. The bartenders did an excellent job and even remembered what people were drinking. Thank you to SUGARFIRE for being a part of our wedding night. We highly recommend hiring Sugarfire!
We used SugarFire for our Sunday Brunch wedding at Silver Oaks Chateau. Everybody knows their BBQ is amazing, but as we found out at the tasting, their breakfast food is TO DIE FOR...
. My bride and I have always been a couple that loves to cook breakfast together, so having breakfast food at our wedding seemed appropriate.
Their staff was always straightforward and helpful, as well as highly responsive leading up to the wedding.
The food the day of was just as good (if not better) as it was at the tasting. They arrived perfectly on time, and our guests raved about the Eggs Benedict. (Highly recommend the brisket).
They were also the most reasonably priced of the available vendors for our venue, and they worked perfectly with the other vendors (cake, day of coordinator, etc) without any issues.
The linens were exactly what we requested and looked gorgeous. The staff was kind and considerate the day of to both us and the guests.
I booked Sugarfire through Silver Oaks for my wedding in May—I know most people have tasted their food so I won’t go in to how delicious everything was (you already know!) but I wi...
ll say that the staff was AMAZING, everything was hot and fresh, and it was so organized and smooth for our guests to go through the buffet lines! Jessica and Heather were so accommodating and answered questions super fast (even on Christmas Eve)! If you have the opportunity to work with these girls and/or the rest of the staff at Sugarfire, jump on it! They are great to work with and our guests are still talking about the food!

pful every step of the way. Jessica and Heather really helped me feel at ease and always responded very quickly. I cannot thank them enough for answering my hundreds of questions as well as catering to some of my families dietary needs. I had to pick everyone’s jaws up off the floor when they found out we were having Sugarfire at our wedding. Everyone raved about the food and drinks all night long. The food, bar and staff were all incredible. Choosing Sugarfire to cater our wedding was the best decision that I made. My husband and I cannot thank you enough for everything that you did for us.
This is the best wedding food we have had in years! All of the guests agreed it was delicious and the garlic mashed potatoes were to die for!
Sugarfire was by far the best option my husband and I could've chosen as our catered food for our wedding. We heard by many of our guests at and after the wedding how much they en...
joyed the food because it was so delicious! They loved all of the sauces to try on their pulled pork and brisket and were raving about the variety of sides (we had mac and cheese, couscous, cornbread, and potato salad).
My husband and I worked with Laura to set up my dream menu that suited our guests as well as our wedding budget, and our experience with her was most certainly enjoyable. Laura always responded to our emails in a timely manner with all of the information we requested. When we met in person, she answered all of our questions and made sure we received information regarding all options before making a firm decision.
To my friends and family, I will always recommend Sugarfire Smokehouse for catered events (or for a dine-in meal) because it is delicious BBQ, and the staff was professional and very enjoyable to work with!

h and easy. She was also very accommodating when we changed our minds on things a few times. On the day of the wedding, not only was the food amazing but so was the staff. They helped flip the room for our reception and made the place look beautiful, they made sure our guests were taken care of, and they checked on the wedding party throughout the night to see if we needed anything. Our guests could not stop raving about how great the food was for days after the wedding.
SugarFire was extremely accommodating, helpful, and organized throughout the planning and execution of our wedding reception. The guests talked about the delicious food all night!...

The food was fresh and absolutely wonderful. We got many compliments on the menu and the taste! I also want to mention they were so fast at breaking down our buffet lines so that we could get our party started. We were very impressed with their service and food. Thanks Sugarfire!!
Food was great! Have received so much positive feedback about it. They can do so much more than bbq. We had bbq, corn, potatoes, salad, and pasta! Very pleased.

Sugarfire catered our wedding on 2/3/18 and my mouth is already watering thinking about it. I worked with Heather Dougherty who was extremely responsive and helpful in answering al...
l of my questions and working with all of our requests. They provide everything you need – food and bar package, linens, china, glassware, napkins, and do all the setup and teardown. The food is DELICIOUS. My husband and I actually made time to sit and enjoy a full plate at our wedding and it was worth every second. We received countless compliments from guests, who said what an awesome idea it was to have BBQ for dinner and how great all the food was. Sugarfire also cut and served the cake that I brought in from a different vendor. They sent us home with a couple pans of leftovers that we got to enjoy with our extended family the day after the wedding. Definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
My husband is from KC and absolutely loves BBQ. He's very partial to KC style BBQ but I can say that he loved Sugarfire! Not only was the food great, but they were so flexible on b...
oth the food and bar selections. We wanted to trim down the bar to save some money and they let us do pretty much whatever we wanted, including getting his favorite beer from KC. The service at the reception was wonderful and the people were so easy to work with. I would recommend Sugarfire to anyone who wants good BBQ for their wedding!
Sugarfire is the by far the best! I knew I wanted Sugarfire as my caterer as soon as I got engaged. When looking for a venue, that was one of the criteria, having them as the cate...
rer, as much as I thought that they would be a good caterer, they completely exceeded my expectations. First thing is affordability, Sugarfire was quite inexpensive given the quality of food and their service was outstanding. The team came to my venue in the morning and dressed all the tables and completed the setup, later another team came in and made the side dishes on site needing very little space. Everything was hot and delicious, There are so many options to choose from not just your standard BBQ fare. Heather is great to work with, she was quick with communication and is very relaxed, no strict deadlines to make.
We had them cater our wedding and we're really excited because they worked with our budget. On the wedding day a lot of the food was under cooked and had many complaints from guest...
s after. I was so embarrassed and disappointed because it was nothing like their food at the resteraunt. We also had booked the bar and they started my bar time during my ceremony when no one was drinking and then they told us it ended at 10 then I came up around 9 and said it was supposed to end at 9. I would think they would've let I or someone else know they told us the wrong time. Overall disappointed and wasted a lot of money on food that was very disappointing.
We could not have received more compliments from guests on the food. Everyone raved about it - and rightly so. It was AMAZING! As an added bonus, this caterer let's you take hom...

worry about a thing on my wedding day. Leading up to the wedding it was sometimes difficult to get a timely response from them, and it was rare to have all my questions completely answered. They were extremely casual about actually signing a contract, and not very proactive in seeking out payments and information from me. More times than not I had to be the one keeping them on track. In a nutshell: Spectacular food, but the business side of things could use improvement.
