Paige A. Getting married on 05/03/2022
My first choice and go to
We really wanted bbq and Rockland's was the only one to be able to do it fun style with class. We had china and silverware with cloth napkins and glasses. They did a site visit and walked through the layout with all our concerns in mind and on the day of the event they were there and ready to go with all the staff and accessories. Our site was 35 miles away and they didn't bat an eye. Our guests (165) were thrilled with the wonderful food in a non-traditional but formal menu. We have used them several times since to cater our events.-

Leslie M. Married on 05/29/2021Amazing with allergies! Not your average BBQ.
We were so happy with our decision to go with Rocklands - they were a breeze to work with, the staff was amazing, and the food was absolutely delicious! My husband has a severe dairy allergy which always makes things a bit more complicated, but Rocklands staff was both so knowledgeable and attentive that it was no issue! They were able to prepare almost everything without dairy, and all staff knew which items had dairy and he could not eat - it really eased the anxiety that usually comes with eating with allergies.
Besides their expert handling of the dietary restrictions, I cannot speak highly enough of the bartenders and waiters. Again they were just so attentive, regularly checking in with us to ensure we always got something to eat/drink during the busy times. The bartend (whose name I wish I could remember!!) was such a sweetheart and even sat a bottle of rose aside when she saw that is what I was drinking to ensure I wouldn't run out!
Finally, the best part about Rocklands is their sides. I think BBQ tends to be very heavy which is not necessarily ideal for a wedding, but they have tons of lighter sides (we loved the chickpea salad and cucumber and mint salad) that are equally as delicious but a bit lighter than the mac n cheese or potato salad you typically have with BBQ.

At the wedding last weekend, Katherine and Maurice were on top of every detail, from the moving of the dance floor to the special appetizer plate for the bride and groom. They were available to chat about timeline changes and were absolutely gracious all night long. And the wait staff, oh my goodness, they could not have been nicer. They felt like family. And, of course, the food was delicious!
What fun to partner with Rocklands Barbecue here on Rocklands Farm! We are two different companies, but have had fun working together!
