Great food and even better service!

Smokin' Willy catered my wedding recently, and I could not be happier with the service and quality of the food. Everything was delicious; we received several compliments on the food from our guests! I worked with Rosa throughout the planning process, and she made everything easy and stress-free. Thank you to the Smokin' Willy team!!

Great food and service!

Smokin Willy catered our wedding on 9/21/24 at Riverside on the Potomac, and we are so happy that we chose them! We went with the Groom's Choice and added mashed potatoes, and people are still talking about the brisket. We had the bacon wrapped scallops at cocktail hour and they were delicious! Everyone at Smokin Willy was extremely professional, easy to work with, and alleviated our stress leading up to the wedding. Tom was great at our tasting, and Olivia as our main contact throughout the process was amazing to work with. She promptly answered any questions we had with a good amount of detail to make everything easy to understand. Holly was also great during our walkthrough at Riverside and made us feel so much better right before our wedding. I highly recommend Smokin Willy!

Stress Free, Impeccable Service

We used Smokin Willy for our wedding and it could not have gone better! From the initial quote to the wedding day, every single Smokin Willy representative we interacted with was responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. We worked with Olivia throughout the planning process, and her knowledge about our venue was unmatched. She thought of small details we never even considered, and made my experience as a DIY bride as easy as can be. They made our day go super smoothly and stress free. Even without a florist or a wedding planner, all we had to do was leave our decor, centerpieces, and alcohol for them and they worked with our day-of coordinator to put together the reception of our dreams! They also paid special attention to us as the bride and groom we were taken care of all throughout the entire day with our appetizers, drinks, and food handed to us so we could spend as much time with our guests. The food was PHENOMENAL and the bartenders made sure the drinks kept flowing. At the end of the night, they neatly took down everything and packed in back in our boxes for easy pick up the next morning. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a more competent, thorough, and organized full-service caterer that went above and beyond every step of the way.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
