Perfect wedding caterer!

We used Tall Guy for a buffet dinner for our wedding. They were so easy to work with. Erica was awesome during the planning process. We loved all the options they offer. They were able to accommodate a few special requests into the menu that made us feel great about the food we incorporated into our day. If you want a caterer that’s easy to work with through the planning process, Tall Guy is a great choice!

Could not have asked for a better caterer!

Tall Guy and a Grill catering was everything we had hoped for and more! For both our rehearsal dinner and wedding, guests raved about the food (especially the filets and appetizers). Working with them start to finish was a breeze! They were so responsive to emails and took our changing minds about the menu in stride. With all their food being fantastic at the tastings, it was difficult to pick a final menu! Melissa was a wonderful point person to work with. She drove all the way to Oconomowoc for a site visit and had no difficulties planning out a set up area at our private residence. On our wedding day she took the time to check in with us to make sure we got our hot prepared plates when we were ready to actually eat (we did some sunset photos between courses). The extra gesture of having a plate of our appetizers sitting at our seats since we missed them all during cocktail hour shows this group's attention to detail! Tall Guy and a Grill was wonderful to work with, and we would recommend them to everyone for a wedding or any other event!

Incredible Farm to Table Catering

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Tall Guy. From our tasting to our wedding day, the team made us feel so cared for and valued - I cannot recommend them enough. The menu options are absolutely incredible, and the time taken to craft the perfect menu, with personalized options and creative and delicious choices beyond the usual "chicken or steak" options, adds such a special touch to the wedding. We were also so excited about Tall Guy's "farm to table" mentality, and their seasonal choices to support local Wisconsin farmers. With lots of out of town guests, that "taste of Wisconsin" was so important to us. Our point of contact, Alissa, was beyond patient and wonderful. From an easy to read invoice, to a prompt response on questions, it was really easy to know exactly what you were getting and track every change. Alissa was incredible when our event downsized due to COVID-19, and the team worked with us to re-schedule our original April 2020 event with kindness and compassion, which were so valued. On the day of our wedding, the food was outstanding, and the entire staff working the event were professional, kind and accommodating. From grabbing my bouquet and putting it in water for me, to making sure that my husband and I got fed during our cocktail hour, the team was so warm and kind. During dinner, the team handled every transition with ease, and helped to make sure the whole thing ran so smoothly. Our guests were wow'ed by the food. I don't think anyone expects the food at weddings to be THAT good, but Tall Guy really makes you feel like you're eating at a 5 star restaurant. We also worked with Tall Guy for our bartending, and the custom cocktails were perfectly executed. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about our very professional and lovely bartender, and she made sure that the drinks were flowing with ease and such a professional demeanor. If you're looking for catering that really takes it up a notch, Tall Guy should absolutely be your go to. They are the best at what they do, and I would hire them a thousand times over for my wedding. Thank you, Team Tall Guy!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
