Perfect backyard wedding!

Planet BBQ catered our back yard wedding on 10/10/2020 and we had a wonderful experience. The food was amazing and the staff were friendly and all our guests raved about the chili and beef brisket! They pulled off a great spread given the COVID-19 situation and will highly recommend them to those looking for a BBQ company!

Perfect BBQ for our special day

We had an excellent experience with Planet Barbeque Catering for our recent wedding. The staff was very responsive to our emails and reassured us of all the details, even during this crazy COVID time. On the day of, they showed up on time and set everything up as expected. They bring their own tables and tent so no need to worry about extra set up. They made everything very simple for us. The food was amazing. We are still getting compliments from our family and friends on how good everything tasted. If you’re looking for good, casual BBQ for your event, I would highly recommend them.

Delicious food, excellent price and incredible service!

Planet BBQ provided excellency in various ways. Dave responds very quickly and made planning a wedding out of state easy. He was very knowledgeable and professional and was able to answer all of my questions and help guide the process. We did not have a wedding planner or wait staff so Dave and Lou's expertise was very much appreciated. I cannot recommend them enough. The price margin is so reasonable, you get a lot of great quality food that your guests will love. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was - even our guests with multiple food allergies. Our guests also commented on how friendly the staff was. Planet BBQ will go above and beyond and exceed your expectations and make your wedding planning and/or experience a lot easier.

Delicious!

OMG. This food was AMAZING. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was from both the cocktail hour apps and the dinner buffet. The setup was beautiful and so professional and the staff was super friendly making sure my groom and I got to eat and making us plates which we really appreciated. I'm hoping I can attend another event where they are catering because I cannot get enough of this food! Highly recommend!!

5 Star. Highly recommend. 

Great food. Nice people and service. Some salad items need a bit more salt. Beef brisket is unbelievably good.  5 Star. Highly recommend.

Excellent food & service for a perfectly executed event!

Planet BBQ catered our 70-person event at Parmelee Farm and we could not have been happier with our decision! The food and service were excellent and we found the pricing to be very fair. Dave and Lou were very responsive and helpful leading up to the day of the event and they executed it perfectly along with their friendly staff. We had the brisket, cedar plank grilled salmon, and cider BBQ chicken as the entree choices and they were all delicious - we especially recommend the brisket! They also had great vegetarian options, which can be tricky to accommodate at a barbecue, and many sides to choose from. We highly recommend Planet BBQ Catering and would choose them again without question!
