Can not recommend enough! Amazing!

From the very start we had a wonderful experience. It was the most personable of any venue we visited and both Magdalena and Doug went above and beyond from start to finish to help us. The day was absolutely magical, I want to get married again just to have another event with them. Thank you so so much!

Delicious!

Holy Smokes was so delicious! They were amazing to work with when planning our dream menu and happily helped when we kept making changes on our end. Magdalena was so responsive and dropped off the silverware and plates ahead of time so we can set up tables for pictures and the aesthetic. Their food was amazing, the only downside was that I got full and couldn’t eat more!! Haha! All of our guests raved about the food from the brisket to the pulled pork to the all the sides ugh it was heavenly! They set up their tables nicely and you wouldn’t even notice they were there! I would highly recommend them again and plan to visit their pop-up sites to eat it all again!!

Great Food

Food was excellent! All of our guests were raving over it, especially the coleslaw. One of our bridesmaids considers herself a coleslaw connoisseur gave it a 10/10 along with two thumbs up. We ourselves didn't have a chance to eat during cocktail hour, I was able to grab a couple pieces of bruschetta, which was delicious! We received compliments on everything from the Caesar salad, to the pulled pork, and the BBQ sauce. My personal favorite were the roasted potatoes which had such a unique flavor. We had a buffet styled dinner which they set up and took down flawlessly. We could not have asked for a better caterer.

Great Barbecue

They brought the smoker and cooked on-site so the whole venue smelled like a BBQ even before the fod was brought out. We got numerous compliments on all of the food they served.

Doug and Magdalena were an absolute JOY to work with! As soon as my husband and I sat with them for the tasting we knew they were the ones! Perfectly communicative wit h fast response times to all of my questions and requests. They showed up early and were completely prepared and hands on with everything!

Now, the food! "Finger Licking Good" would be the cheesy thing to say but oh hey look, I already said it. Absolutely delicious! Flavorful and cooked to perfection. The pulled up with the big meat cooker and nearly store the show! Every guest had great things to say and even stopped for quick photo ops before the sun set. With absolutely nothing negative to write or critique I just want to end by saying I am looking for for the next event on my calendar to make up and "excuse" to use their services and interact with them again.

Four thumbs way way up from my husband and myself!

Thank you THANK YOU!

It was a pleasure working with Doug and Magdalena. Food was spectacular for my wedding day. From our first meeting up to the wedding day, Doug and Magdalena were courteous, professional, flexible and over all exceptional. I couldn't have ask for anything more. I would recommend Holy Smoke to anyone.

Doug and Magdalena did an amazing job catering our BBQ dinner for our wedding. Not only was the food great, but the service provided by Magdalena leading up to and during the wedding were second to none. Magdalena and her staff ran a flawless event. We would not hesitate to use them again for any future event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
