Salt Lick is the the BEST!

I have had the pleasure of working with Salt Lick Catering on several occasions now and I can not recommend them enough. Not only is the food amazing, but the entire team is fantastic. Madison, Lauren, Bobby and Mike to name a few! Everyone is always so professional, helpful and friendly.

Such a great full service caterer with killer food and pricing!

"Best food at a wedding I've ever had!"

That's exactly what one of our wedding guests told us! We loved working with Salt Lick so much. Not only do they provide delicious food, but the service is fantastic! It sounds kind of weird to say, but I think it's a sign of great service when people can compliment the food and flow of the evening and at the same time not remember seeing or hearing from the catering staff! Lauren at Salt Lick always responded so promptly to my questions and was very helpful when we were trying to figure out what catering would look like for a 'pandemic wedding'. Honestly, you can't go wrong choosing Salt Lick!

Authentic Texas BBQ

Wanting to give our guests an authentic Austin experience meant live music and the best BBQ served from food truck. The Salt Lick did a great job. They were on time, professional, and delicious. 100% recommend.

Perfection on Platters!

It was important to us to share local treats and eats with our family and friends, and it was a no-brainer to look into Salt Lick BBQ for our wedding caterer. They went above and beyond in their service and presentation! We opted for family style, and it felt like one great big family dinner which is exactly what we were hoping for. The food was amazing - and our out-of-town guests were in heaven right along with us! We have the best-ever leftovers for weeks :)

The Wedding of Our Dreams

This review is long-overdue. When my husband and I were looking for a wedding venue, we researched several places around the country. There were spreadsheets and pro/con lists, and The Salt Lick was the clear winner. We both met in Texas, but live in New Jersey, and have family all over, so we needed something central. Not to mention the fact that The Salt Lick is our favorite Texas BBQ. From the beginning, everyone at the venue was so helpful and responsive, particularly since we were planning from afar. We chose Thurman's Mansion for our big day. We worked with Samantha, Carson, and Callie, and all of them were great - from the catering, to figuring out the open bar, to the ceremony and reception set up, to working with our vendors, and answering all of our many questions. We were able to set up our rehearsal for the day before, which went great. The day of, we were greeted with some snacks in our rooms where we got ready, as well as gifts (including some really comfy t-shirts). We had a good portion of the upstairs of the mansion to get ready (aside from their office space, which we were told before and was understandable), so we had plenty of room for our hair and makeup team, as well as other space for further preparations. We worked with the team before to set up the reception area, using a program provided by them where we could lay everything out. And everything was set up perfectly the day of. The ceremony was beautiful. The reception was so fun - the food was delicious, from the hors d'oeuvres, to the dinner, to the desserts (we had so many of our guests compliment the food, especially the BBQ), and the bartenders were great. (The Salt Lick was also able to accommodate several changes we requested to the alcohol menu, which we really appreciated.) We rented the festoon lights, as well as 2 cornhole games. Those were a hit, too. We could not have asked for a better place to host the best day of our lives. Thank you, Salt Lick and Thurman's Mansion!

Our wedding day was perfect! Everything was organized well, and the venue has a breathtaking view for guests to enjoy. The staff treated us well, and they accommodated our needs and requests. We felt relaxed, and we were able to enjoy our beautiful day!

recommend!

We got married at Pecan Grove and had a wonderful experience working with this venue. This is a naturally gorgeous venue that is always well kept regardless of what season it is which allowed us to save money and keep decorations pretty simple...pretty much floral centerpieces, candles, some cute signs and family photos, done! Rachel was very responsive to all of our questions leading up to the big day and all the staff we encountered were incredibly helpful and professional. We had both the ceremony and reception here so were able to utilize the bridal suite. The space was perfect for getting ready and for being able to step away and have a quick quiet moment with my husband during the festivities. Some of our family has had salt lick bbq before so were already thrilled that they were catering, but it was a special treat for our family who came from out of town. We kept hearing how full everyone was and that they went back for 2nds and 3rds!! We actually had more food that we needed due to some last minute cancellations but they allowed us to take the rest home. being extremely picky if i had to say anything not so great... I could not for the life of me find a place to hang my gown in the bridal suite. There was a clothing rack that would fit regular length clothes but could not find a high enough hook to keep it off the ground. My guess is that maybe it was there i just couldnt find it, but if it wasnt there i would suggest they add that. I ended up handing my dress on the top of one of the french doors. It also got pretty warm in there, but not sure they could have controlled it that much as there was a lot of people coming in and out. the reception area was temp controlled and very cool though. This was the first and only venue we looked at. Love at first site! Would certainly use again in the future

Fabulous Venue and Staff!

I had my wedding here on 10/20/18 and worked with Carson during the planning process. She responded to all of my emails extremely promptly - almost always within a couple hours! - and was very patient with me and my millions of questions. The day went off without a hitch and everyone had an amazing time. I want to get re-married here every year!! Thank you, Salt Lick team!!
