We had gone to CarterQue's restaurant in Mount Airy MD many times, so when we found out we could use them for our wedding we instantly picked them. We love their food and all of our guests raved about how good the food was and complimented the staff as well. We worked with Colleen throughout the planning process and she was amazing! We highly recommend using CarterQue catering for your wedding.

The staff was easy to work with during the planning process as well as the staff day of at our wedding. They made sure everything went smoothly and how we wanted it. The food was excellent. I would recommend making sure you get extra meatballs as the were a big hit with the guests!

Colleen and CarterQue are an excellent catering company and restaurant. Colleen was very responsive and willing to explain all of their options. She even did a great virtual presentation of their services with pictures. We did a tasting at their restaurant, and they were very welcoming and allowed us to bring our 2 young kids. The food was delicious and lots of choices, and CarterQue offers very reasonable prices for the high quality of food and service. We ultimately decided to go with a different style of food for our wedding but CarterQue was easily the best barbecue caterer we could find in the DMV and we would definitely recommend them for barbecue catering or just for a good meal at their restaurant.

We had such an amazing experience with using Carterque for our wedding, we constantly get comments about how good our weddings food was! The staff was so friendly and attentive too! I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for great barbecue!

CarterQue catered and provided bar service for our wedding and they did a phenomenal job. Colleen and her staff made sure that everyone was taken care of. She personally made sure that my husband and I were able to eat (even at cocktail hour) and had a drink in hand amidst everything that was going on. The staff was courteous and professional and above all, the food was delicious. Colleen is responsive and thinks of everything. You can't go wrong with CarterQue when looking for a wedding caterer!

Colleen Yelle and the entire team at CarterQue are amazing! Colleen made it very easy to plan during COVID by setting up Zoom calls and phone calls. Once restrictions were lifted, we were able to visit the restaurant to finalize our menu - they had so many choices for customization while still staying within our budget. Not to mention, all of the choices are absolutely delicious! On the day of, Colleen and her team were extremely professional, efficient, and kind - and they took care of so much of the set-up and clean-up. Colleen was also a wonderful bartender! Overall, my husband and I would highly recommend CarterQue as a catering team, and we definitely plan to visit the restaurant in the future!

From the start to the finish of our event, CarterQue's catering team worked hard to make our day amazing!

CarterQue did an amazing job at our wedding! The staff was easy to work with and very attentive. All of our guests kept commenting on how great the food tasted. We highly recommend their catering services!

CarterQue served delicious food and made our wedding reception dinner easy! Colleen answered all of our questions and made sure we got everything we needed! They asked us ahead of time what we (the bride and groom) wanted to eat on the day of the wedding and they had ready-made plates of food so that we could just start eating and enjoy our reception! The value for the food was fabulous and the service was top notch!

My husband and I had tried several highly recommended BBQ caterer/restaurants in the Washington, D.C. area for our wedding caterer. On two separate occasions, we had previously taken our best man and maid of honor to their restaurant to sample our choice for the wedding caterer. They both enjoyed the unofficial "tasting" of pulled pork, pit ham, pit beef, brisket, and the many sides. They both agreed that Carterque was a great selection for the wedding.

On the actual day of the wedding in October 2021, Carterque's staff was lead by Colleen and arrived on time for setup. We ordered BBQ Chicken, Pit Smoked Ham, Macaroni and Cheese, Red Potato Salad, and Garden Salad. Carterque was able to accommodate the need for several children's menus and even provided vegetarian options for our vegetarian guests. (The luckiest wedding guest may have been the vegetarian who got to take home most of the vegetarian sausage leftovers.) They decorated the tables nicely and worked well with our volunteers to complete the hall decoration. The food was enjoyed by everyone and my wife and I have been back subsequently for other meals (which involved driving 45 minutes from our home). Carterque even set up a s'mores station for our guests, which they had not done prior to our event and manned the firepit.

Colleen not only directed the staff, but also served as our bartender. We were only able to provide her with one written recipe for our two signature cocktails, as one was an old favorite from graduate school late nights. I relayed the basic recipe on the fly and the Godiva hot chocolate was a big hit.

We highly recommend Carterque for any BBQ catering to any of our friends. Pro Tip: Contacting Colleen can be difficult, and we'd recommend calling earlier in the week as they're typically less busy.
