The Smoke Shop BBQ

We booked The Smoke Shop BBQ for our intimate backyard wedding for May 2024, and it was one of the best decisions we made! Not only was the food incredible, but the team we worked with was beyond compare! I cannot thank CJ and the catering team enough for everything they did for us! We had a rainy wedding day...with no tent for dinner. The rain caused things to not be perfectly ready as they should have been, and the catering team stepped up and did anything that they saw needed attention. They were true angels!! The team handled everything so incredibly well and made sure I didn't stress out too much. The food was delicious and we received many compliments! I would book The Smoke Shop BBQ for any future event needing catering in a heartbeat!

After looking for a venue for some time, my wife and I chose the Smoke Shop BBQ to host our wedding reception. It's a huge decision that you only get to make once, so of course we knew we needed to do it right. I have to say, we have absolutely no regrets. We did it right!!! Everything about our reception was just right. I'll start with the obvious: The food was incredible. I always thought you had to take a trip down South to get that kind of barbecue, but I was totally wrong. It was some of the most impressive barbecue I've had in my life, and our guests agreed. The shock and excitement across our guests eyes as the platters were laid out was priceless. We will definitely be returning as casual diners! Our event coordinator CJ and her supporting staff were so responsive and helpful. When we reached out to explore the venue as an option, CJ was very responsive. Even the times I took a week or more to get back to her, she would usually reply within 24hrs. She set us up with a menu, made suggestions for our party size, helped with decor, and really went above and beyond our expectations to make it a special day. Planning a wedding can be so overwhelming, but they helped make things so easy and stress free. Finally, the staff went even further by helping us set up. We dropped off the boxes, shared the vision, put up some lights, and by the time we walked in the next day to greet our guests the space was completely transformed into the Wonderland my wife had imagined. I was more worried about the technical things like the seating arrangement and order of events, but that all too was handled flawlessly. As a bonus, and maybe most importantly, it didn't feel like the staff was staff - if that makes sense. It felt more like they were family there to celebrate with us. They didn't just give us a space or a product or something to eat, they made such an effort to take care of us in the way you might expect family or friends to, on a personal level. I could go on and on, but instead I'll just make the simple recommendation that you go check it out yourself. I promise you won't be let down! Bring your appetite! Thanks CJ, Shan, Ashley, and everyone else who helped put the "special" in our special day. -Jordon & Ana

We can't even begin to describe how awesome The Smoke Shop BBQ was for our wedding. The food was Amazing!!!!!! People were still raving about the food a few days later. The burnt ends were the favorite. We opted for family style and people went up for seconds (and dare I say even thirds??). CJ (Catering and Events Senior Manager) and her crew were polite, professional, and totally felt like family by the end of the night. We highly recommend The Smoke Shop BBQ and plan to use them again for any future events.

I could not recommend The Smoke Shop's catering services more highly! They catered our May 2023 wedding and guests still continue to rave to us about how it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding (which I would agree with). In addition to the DELICIOUS food, the team at Smokeshop is so friendly and communicative, it literally could not have been easier to work with them. CJ Kelly was our main contact in setting up the wedding plans. She worked with us for months to make sure everything was totally right for our special day, including setting clear deadlines for when we needed to confirm stuff, telling us about special off-menu items that we could add on, and helping us come up with numerous food options for our guests with dietary restrictions. Every planning meeting with CJ felt like having dinner with a friend, and we usually left with a massive container of food to boot. (We even ended up loving the Smoke Shop butter cake so much that we decided to forego a wedding cake completely and just serve that!!) When the wedding finally rolled around, everything went off without a hitch and the Smoke Shop team was a blast to have there - they tore up the dance floor with the rest of us, took selfies, used the photobooth, and added to the wonderful atmosphere of the whole night. I highly, highly recommend their catering team for any special event!
