Best catering team for my dream wedding!

I recently got married and had Smokin Willy cater my large wedding. They are absolutely fantastic and contributed to my dream wedding! From the initial tasting, through many planning meetings, and to the final walk-through, they made every step so easy. They were so organized and easy to talk-to. They provided many suggestions, photos, and menus, but also listened to what we wanted and envisioned. On the day of, they were so professional and quick at their job. The food was also delicious and cooked on site, which my guests raved about. Every detail was great and I would definitely recommend Smokin Willy to cater any event you need!

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!
