We used Smoke Daddy to cater our wedding. If you would like your guests to rave about the food weeks after your event, then we highly recommend Smoke Daddy. The staff was wonderful to work with and the food was great! They were super flexible and accommodating. The staff that worked our wedding were incredibly friendly and ensured our buffet and bar stayed well stocked.

We essentially picked our wedding reception venue because we saw that Smoke Daddy was an approved caterer. We love their food, and now we love their catering service as well.

The food was as delicious as ever and really lends itself to serving large crowds. The pulled meats are so delicious and a much better option to your typical bland banquet fare. Their sides are also amazing, we added the mac n cheese, for the few vegetarians who mentioned that they were completely satisfied. A few of our family members even went out of their way to tell us that they loved the coleslaw!

On top of that, the service was outstanding. Smoke Daddy took care of everything. We asked them about cheese and cracker plates for cocktail hour at the last minute and they were on it. Another last minute addition was including a vegan meal for one of our guest's plus one. Smoke Daddy didn't mind and took care of the issue with no problem. We went with a buffet line for the food, but they did a great job of bussing tables and making sure everyone had water, and serving coffee to every table post dinner.

Our favorite perk of having Smoke Daddy cater the event, was that they boxed up all of the leftovers and set them out for guests to take with them. Talk about a great wedding favor! All of this, and we really didn't even notice them until the night was over and they started to clean up, so to say that they were unobtrusive would be a gross understatement. Yeah, that's right, they'll cover the clean up if you need that too.

Long story short: you want to please a large group of eaters and have a great event? Choose Smoke Daddy Catering - Tai and her crew were awesome!
