    HVBBQ Wedding Caterer

    HVBBQ and the whole team were an absolute dream to work with throughout the whole wedding process. Brandon was the first vendor we booked (before even being sure about our venue) because we just loved how his food looked and our initial conversations with him. We worked together to create our dream menu, filled with our favorite foods and celebrating different places we have lived. Heather made sure that there was communication throughout the whole process and the tasting was one of the best parts of planning- getting to try all the delicious foods and talk about everything.
    On the wedding day I saw Brandon right before walking down the aisle, he gave me a huge hug and totally calmed all my nerves. The food was delicious and it was so fun getting to watch Brandon cook. Some of our guests were trying to bribe Brandon's staff for more short ribs (no bribes needed, more was brought out right away). His staff were amazing throughout the whole night. Thank you to Brandon and the HVBBQ team!

    A unique caterer that offers more than great food!

    We could not be happier with our decision to work with Brandon and everyone at Farm to Fire to cater our wedding. I'm not sure "no" is in Brandon's vocabulary as he was up for whatever we threw at him. From our initial conversation with endless questions about food options, food allergies and how those would be handled, set-up, serving and everything in between, Brandon had the right answer and put our minds at ease. Within a week of making the decision to go with Farm to Fire, Brandon sent over a menu that blew us away. We had given him a few ideas we'd seen at other weddings as well as some of our favorite dishes, and from those notes he created a diverse menu that perfectly reflected us. From there he was incredibly communicative; getting back to emails, texts or calls almost immediately. A few months prior to the big day we were able to sit down with Brandon for a tasting and while we expected that it would be good, he exceeded those expectations. Of course that was for just the two of us but when it came time to cook for 150+ people the quality didn't waver. Brandon's giant open-flame rig was such a fun and unique site to greet our guests and certainly piqued everyone's interest as to what was in store for dinner. Everyone got their first taste during the cocktail hour where the grazing table and hors d'oeuvres drew rave reviews (special shout-out to the bite-sized reubens!). Brandon's staff was on top of EVERYTHING during that time; constantly circulating the hors d'oeuvres and even taking the time to make a special platter for my wife and I, as they noticed how busy we were conversing and posing for pictures. Obviously the big part of the night was dinner and once again, these guys went above and beyond. From the perfectly cooked cedar plank salmon to the mouthwatering picanha served with a variety of toppings - a special request so that people were able to dress their steak how they liked with either blue cheese crumbles, chimichurri or horseradish cream - everything tasted incredible. Finally, we ended the night with a classic - cookies & ice cream - and despite a muggy night, they pulled it off! Almost forgot to mention that somehow Brandon was able to do his open-fire cooking not just on a hot, muggy day but also on a day that saw a steady rain for a good half hour prior to the ceremony. Still not sure how he pulled that off. It was truly a pleasure to work with Brandon but just as much of a pleasure to watch him work; a true master of his craft who takes great pride in what he does. I would HIGHLY recommend you allow Brandon and his crew to make your special day that much more special!

    Awesome team!

    The Farm to Fire Team catered my daughter's wedding last year. From the start, the experience was just fantastic.
    We spent a lot of time customizing the menu and Brandon was so accommodating.
    No stone was left unturned during the planning process.
    We had so much fun the day of the wedding.
    The cooking equipment was so fun to see and the food
    turned out absolutely delicious.
    Every piece of the day was just perfect.
    Brandon became a friend to all of us and we
    could not recommend their services enough.

    Can't stop thinking about this food!

    Where do I begin… Brandon and Heather were a joy to work with! The two major things I was super excited about for our wedding day (besides marrying my husband lol) was the food and the music, and boy did the food live up to mine and everyone’s expectations! From the initial call where Brandon described what our wedding day would be like, to building our menu, tasting the food, then the actual wedding day, every step of the way was an absolute breeze! We are so happy we chose HVBBQ to cater our wedding. Every dish was vibrant looking and so fresh, my guests won’t stop talking about it! One thing I would like to note, wish I had known earlier before hiring a Day of Coordinator, that Heather offers planning services. Heather was so helpful and so communicative that at times I felt like she was my wedding planner. I would’ve 100% hired her to help with the entire wedding if I had known in time. So just a note to future brides, you will love her. Thank you Brandon, Heather and staff for gracing us with your cooking and services on our special day. It was a day that will never be forgotten!

    Exactly what we wanted

    We had our wedding in July and hired Farm to Fire to help.
    Our venue was one that required us to bring in everything. Working with Brandon planning a menu and ironing out all the details was very smooth.

    He was willing to jump on a call to sort out questions and helped us find other vendors too.

    The day of the event the whole Farm to Fire Team was doing everything.
    They were so polite to our guests and helped with every little detail that came up.

    The food was the absolute star of the show. Many of our guests mentioned afterwards that it was some of the best they had ever had a wedding.

    We are so grateful to their whole team for doing such a great job to make our day so special.

    Best Wedding Food of All Time

    I can’t express to you how amazing Brandon, Heather and their whole team was. The process from start to finish was effortless. Brandon started it off by asking us our favorite foods and then curated a full menu for our wedding, not leaving a single item off. The food turned out AMAZING! All of our guests were blown away and have not stopped talking about it since. Brandon and his staff were extremely proffesional and did everything to make our day so special! Book them immediately, best decision we made.

    Easy and delicious!

    Everyone with HVBBQ was simply amazing along with the food! From the first phone call with Brandon be made eveything so easy. He was always a phone call away if I had any questions or concerns. Communication was great with the whole team. No matter what we asked for Brandon was always willing to accommodate any requests with ease. Now of course to the food! We did not want your “typical” wedding dinner and we’re SO excited when we found HVBBQ. The food was exactly what we wanted and everyone raved about how delicious is was! It was not a wedding you left hungry with small portions either which was so refreshing. A dream team and amaaaaaazing food. I would highly recommend HVBBQ!!! Still dreaming about the steak and Brussels sprouts 😍

    Mouth watering

    Brandon and his team were INCREDIBLE!!! Every guest we spoke to after dinner and the next day said it was hands down the best food they’ve ate at a wedding. The customizable options allow you to create your dream menu! Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection! The only regret I have is not eating 60 more plates! His team was so friendly and helpful. I suggest you book them as soon as you can because this was an unreal experience that I wish I live through again!

    Perfection

    To start, my family owns restaurants and I am a chef.

    I wanted a very particular farm to table experience with some of our favorites.
    Brandon was so excited to help our vision come to life.

    Some highlights were our first course pasta dish with burrata and the spit roasted picanha with chimichurri.

    If you want amazing food and amazing service leading up to your wedding day, reach out like we did.
    One of the best decisions we made.

    The food was amazing

    I loved the food and the professionalism!!! It was a great day!! We reached out to Brandon and his team at Farm to Fire after hearing about them from our venue.
    From the start, we had a great feeling about everything. Great communication, the customized menu that had all of our favorite foods, and their approach was so sincere.
    The day of the wedding, they showed up early and cooked in front of our guests all day.
    What an amazing experience and the food was exactly what we hoped for.
    Thank you to the entire team for making our wedding day so special.

    They absolutely delivered!

    Leaving a review to try to relay how much of a joy it was working with Brandon and his team.
    From the start, we appreciated how much time was spent getting our favorite foods on the menu. The food was the most important part of the day. We’ve travelled all over and really wanted those travels to be represented at our wedding.
    The food and the service were just amazing.
    From the raw bar to the open fire picanha, it truly added to our perfect day.
    We will never forget how much hard work was put into our wedding.
    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We highly recommend Farm to Fire for anyone looking to have that one-of-a-kind experience on their special day!

    Amazing and unique

    My sister got married a couple of weeks ago at handsome hallow. As a chef myself I don’t often have high expectations for wedding food. But farm to fire truly blew me away! The cedar smoked salmon was amazing. The family style service was perfect for a wedding.the vegan options, the desserts. Basically everything was delish and so spot on with the theme. My whole family grew up in the restaurant industry and we all agreed it was amazing!

    Wonderful people, delicious food!

    I loved my experience working with Brandon and team. They were responsive and so quick to roll up their sleeves and jump in - even if it was outside their "scope" of work. We collaborated on a great menu and I was super happy with my decision to work with them! Thank you for everything.

    Fantastic food and fabulous folks!

    As the MOB I can whole-heartedly recommend Brandon and his lovely staff. They were great to work with, totally on board with our relaxed 'camp' wedding theme, and many of our guests said it was the best food they had ever eaten at a wedding! The fun of having our guests watch the fire set up and their food being cooked throughout the day was an added bonus. Brandon even popped into the kitchen where I was struggling to stack my homemade wedding cake layers, and offered support, advice and good cheer during a tense moment! What more can I say, these are fantastic folks offering delicious food and good vibes!!

    Brandon is amazing!

    Don’t look anywhere else when looking for the ideal wedding caterer. Brandon and his team went above and beyond in the planning process, answering all of our millions of questions and always had a can do attitude. Day of the event, he’s a veteran and took our worries away. The food was the highlight of the evening according to our guests!

    Amazing food & friendly service!

    Brandon + team catered the food for our wedding in July 2022, and we can't rave enough about our experience! He worked with us to accommodate our requests for an eclectic menu, made sure we had vegan & vegetarian options (as veggie-forward folks with families who love their meat), and was open to our many questions throughout the planning process. The food & drinks went off without a hitch and we're still getting compliments about how delicious it all was from our guests months later, not to mention it was beautifully displayed & served with a smile. Brandon genuinely enjoys working with couples to create a menu that represents them, and it's the cherry on top of HVBBQ's amazing-tasting food. We had a great experience & would recommend HVBBQ to others in a heartbeat!

    Wonderful Experience, Fantastic Food!

    Brandon and his team are spectacular!! From the very first conversation, it was clear that Brandon is very passionate about what he does and is extremely detail oriented. We felt that Brandon went above and beyond to meet us at the venue and help us with items that were beyond his contract obligations. We knew we were in great hands. The day of the wedding could not have gone better. All of our guests raved about the food and the service staff. I would highly recommend Brandon and would use him again for future parties.

    Hire Brandon!

    We hired Brandon for our wedding and I couldn't be happier with the decision. Brandon was responsive and so helpful in making our menu choices. We went with the short rib, paella, cedar salmon and the drunken Brussel sprouts (alll AMAZING!). Also, the guests couldn't stop raving about the bar service and our signature drinks. Killer job guys - thanks!!

    Excellent experience

    The Team at Farm to Fire catered our wedding in June. We wanted open fire at the wedding and we also wanted some amazing Italian Food for my side of the family. We built the perfect menu with Brandon's Help and the food was amazing. We worked closely with his team leading up to the wedding day and the communication line was very smooth.
    Hiring Farm to Fire was one of the best decisions we made. I cannot recommend them enough.

    Hire Brandon!

    I hired Brandon for my wedding and couldn't be happier. Throughout the process Brandon was super responsive and so helpful! I paid mostly on time and 2 times needed a one week extension and he was so accommodating (so I don't really know why people are writing anything negative - if you don't pay no vendor will continue to work with you...) So anyways I had a great experience. Brandon even came to my venue to meet with us and talk through the menu. And the food is amazing! Brandon is so talented. I also got so many compliments on the bar service and our signature drinks. Awesome job guys! Thanks so much!!
