I adored all of my wedding vendors but I think PIGS was the best of them all. My husband is from North Carolina so we wanted a little Southern flair at our reception, and with PIGS we found such a perfect mix of Southern and MD crab, and relaxed yet elevated. Our guests are still talking about how much they loved the food. And Jimmy took such good care of me and my husband all night long -- setting apps and drinks out for us as soon as the ceremony was over, bringing full plates of what we wanted over to us so we didn't have to go to the buffet, and keeping our drinks full -- that we never had to worry about a thing! Lisa, Jimmy & the rest of the team --- we cannot thank you guys enough for making our wedding what it was!!

Pigs BBQ Catering
Pigs BBQ Catering: Kevin and his crew provided the most outstanding service for my daughter’s wedding this past weekend!! I truly cannot commend them enough! The alcohol delivery company shorted us on supplies and Kevin went to the store TWICE to get what was needed!!!! He truly made sure everything was perfect and took care of everything! I just love all of this crew. They truly made my daughter’s wedding extra special. Oh, and the food was FANTASTIC!!!! I have nothing but praise in all regards. Thank you Kevin, crew and Pigs for a beautiful wedding❤️

Delicious food and amazing staff!
Not only was the staff at PIGS amazing to work with, but their food is AMAZING! Everyone raved about how good the food was. They have a large selection of food to choose from so my husband and I felt like we could add a little bit of everything. A few of my guests were vegetarian and I was easily able to select alternative options for them. Their hors d’oeuvres were so fun and creative. On the day of the wedding, the staff made sure that all guests were happy, including my husband and I and our wedding party. Jimmy was so responsive and attentive. He made sure that we were all happy and not hungry during our wedding day. He checked in on me several times throughout the day and made me feel so seen! After the wedding day, we were fortunate enough to enjoy some leftover food from the dinner! We highly recommend PIGS! (Wedding pictures by Heather Chipps Photography)

The Best Service and Food
P.I.G.S was absolutely amazing. Not only was the food delicious but the service was absolutely impeccable. The lead that was assigned to our wedding went above and beyond. He immediately met my new husband and I and our bridal party at the end of the aisle after we said I Do with hors d'oeuvres and when we finally sat for dinner, he got my husband and I our plates and our drinks so that we could sit and relax. He made sure the tables of our families were called first and all night long even helped our grandparents, who have difficulty getting around, helping them to get down steps and to the car safely. We really couldn't have asked for a better team and better food. Absolutely exceptional. Highly recommend!

Great Wedding Caterer
PIGS is a fantastic option for a wedding caterer! At first my wife was skeptical of barbeque for our wedding however, PIGS brings both highly professional staff and options that are more refined than a backyard BBQ. PIGS handled all our table setting, glassware, equipment rentals, including chairs, simplifying our vendor management!
The hardest part about working with PIGS is selecting your menu! The meat, sides, and sauces are so good that its takes time to select your menu. All our food was delicious, we highly recommend the brisket and smoked chicken with the cold green beans, roasted potatoes, and seasonal salad. PIGS brings so much food that everyone is well fed and there were plenty of leftovers. At other weddings we’ve attended there isn’t enough food and folks are hungry, this will not be the case with PIGS. We had multiple guests complimenting our dinner and cocktail food.
The catering staff is dressed professionally and were on top of managing the food, glassware, and cocktail hour. One nice touch, the staff personally made sure my wife and I had plenty to eat (which we’ve heard is a common mistake). We did photos between the cocktail hour and dinner and he made sure we had full plates of food upon returning to the reception. Finally, PIGS didn’t charge us for the tasting which was another nice benefit compared to other vendors.
Overall, PIGS was exceptional value that simplified planning our wedding and made for a great day!

P.I.G.S is the best!
We are so thankful that we chose P.I.G.S to cater our wedding! Lisa and Jimmy were so great to work with. We had a few last minute changes and Lisa was super accommodating and patient. Jimmy was a dream to work with on our big day. He made sure everything ran smoothly and took care of every detail. On top of such wonderful service, the food was so amazing! All of our wedding guests commented on how delicious the buffet was. We love PIGS!

Thank you to pigs!
The best type of vendor is one you have to absolutely not worry about and be reassured they've got everything covered. PIGS was wonderful from the start. Lisa was easy to work with and communicate with, and our team on the big day was attentive and on top of it! Pedro made sure we had dinner and appetizers and offered to even grab our drinks for us when we were running low. I received nothing but compliments from my guests, and of course the food was delicious. We recommend PIGS to everyone.

Great Wedding Caterer
PIGS was a great caterer for our wedding of almost 200 people! Lisa and her team did an awesome job of taking care of us and walking us through the process from start to finish. They're experts, very professional, and were flexible, allowing us to tweak things up to a week or two before the wedding. The food was also really great. The BBQ was excellent (even the biggest BBQ snobs commented how much they liked it), the passed apps were elevated and the oysters were a huge hit. The day of crew also did a great job of taking care of everyone, and made us feel especially special on our big day. We'd highly recommend them!

Great BBQ and Services
This is the second time we've used P.I.G.S. for a large event. The food is fantastic! We were able to go to their restaurant for a tasting and then customized our menu. Our guests really enjoyed the charcuterie board we had at the cocktail hour. If you're considering P.I.G.S., stop by their restaurant in Frederick and try their BBQ!

Best service, best food, best team. Hire pigs!
PIGS catered our 85 person wedding in May of 2021. From the start (getting quote and planning with Lisa) the team blew our expectations out of the water. We used the team to rent linens, silverware, some of our furniture (bars + shelving), and of course to provide a buffet-style dinner to our wedding guests. Everything was spectacular, and extremely affordable compared to other vendors we considered.
The food was perfect, the staff was the most amazing of any vendor we worked with. They were a dream team, led by our FANTASTIC event captain, Jimmy. As the bride and groom, we were never without a drink in our hands (even when taking pictures during cocktail, or food options right in front of us). The team was polite, attentive, and just so fun to work with. Everyone loved the food as well. I would hire PIGS again in a heartbeat - they were just that good.

Guests called it the best wedding food ever
My now-husband and I knew we wanted BBQ at our wedding, and PIGS was by far the best we tried. From the crispy skin on the grilled chicken to the juicy brisket, from the scrumptious appetizers to the service, we were blown away at the tasting and no other caterer could measure up.
Lisa, part of the husband-and-wife team who own the company, was super responsive and very helpful in answering all my questions. She and her team head Pedro came to our final walkthrough to ensure all the details were set. On my wedding day, which was rainy and cold, PIGS even set up outdoor ceremony chairs in addition to indoor chairs, just in case there was a chance we got lucky with the rain and could go outside (we didn’t get lucky, alas!).
Our sweetheart table was located off the end of the buffet, and as guests walked past us with their plates, we got so many comments on how great the food looked, and how it was the best wedding food ever. PIGS also made delicious pies for our dessert, since we preferred those to a cake. PIGS made a signature cocktail that we requested perfectly to our tastes (blackberry bourbon lemonade, not too sweet!).
My only regret: having to give the leftovers to family and friends as we departed for our honeymoon! I wanted to eat it all!

Trust the reviews!
My husband and I got married in Maryland but live out of state. We had to rely heavily on reviews when choosing our caterer for our wedding. Let me just say, TRUST THE FANTASTIC REVIEWS. We could not have picked a better caterer for our wedding day. Our guests are still complimenting us on the food and service two months later. (The Mac n' Cheese is to die for!) Lisa was great to work with and helped a ton with our rentals through Select Rentals as well. PIGS was so accommodating and easy to work with when planning a pandemic era wedding. The quality of food and service for the price is unbeatable. They have an expansive menu with tons of options that can fit any appetite, including substitutes for vegetarian guests that aren't just salad. Truly the staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone was fed and happy. If you are looking for BBQ for your wedding, you won't find anyone better than PIGS. Thank you to Lisa and the team for making our wedding day perfect, we can't thank you enough!

We wanted anything but a “beef, chicken or fish” dinner and PIGS delivered!!!
Everything about PIGS is amazing! My husband and I wanted something “different” for our wedding and once we tasted PIGS BBQ we were sold! The sauces and rubs are so amazing and all of their slow smoked meats are to die for! They have such creative appetizers and everyone at our wedding loved the tomato soup/grilled cheese shooters and the crab cakes! Even our parents/older relatives who expected a more “traditional” wedding dinner loved the meal and couldn’t stop talking about how great the food was! We went buffet style, which I would definitely recommend because it is simplifies everything so much and everyone wanted a second round! Even with everyone getting second helpings, we had plenty of leftovers to enjoy after the wedding. The PIGS staff also made sure that my husband and I had a plate of our favorite meats & sides ready for us and they made sure that we had a chance to eat at our own wedding because they understood how busy the reception could be for the bride and groom! The food is phenomenal and the staff is so kind and easy to work with! We would recommend PIGS to anyone and we are thrilled that they are opening a restaurant soon too! We can’t wait to check it out and have some more incredible PIGS BBQ!

Best day of my life
Lisa and her team have the most amazing staff!! Pedro and the whole team took such good care of us. It was literally the best day of my life. They always made sure we had food or drinks, brought us some appetizers during pictures, even brought me a whole tray of oysters to have with my dinner. They packed everything up so neatly and nicely for us. I was blown away. Everyone loved the food, the brisket was so tasty, and the chicken was falling off the bone. So delicious. They even set aside all our decorations to clean up the next day so we didn’t have to do it that night.

Great team, Fabulous Food, Excellent Service, and Overall Wonderful "Friendorship"
If you're looking for delicious BBQ food and all of the fixings, attentive customer service, and great pricing, than please look no further than to P.I.G.S BBQ Catering! My best friend had hired them to cater her wedding 5 years ago, and the food was remarkable! Once I launched my own wedding planning business in 2016, I knew who would be one of my recommended caterers in the Frederick, MD/surrounding areas! Lisa & her team do not only provide attentive & friendly customer service, but their team executes flawlessly from start-to-finish. A designated team member worked with me last year with a full-service planning client. We conducted a thorough walk through together, discussed a game plan for set-up, execution, and breakdown. They always exchanged timely emails and communication throughout the planning process. They are the epitome of team players, when working together on and offsite. The wedding went off without a hitch, the food was incredible, and the overall experience made it not only memorable for the clients, but for me as a partnered vendor. They always go above and beyond, recommend food within client budgets, and ensure your day is set for success. The BIG difference you may find, while working with P.I.G.S BBQ Catering, is the overall personal experience. They make you feel like one of their own! I continue to work with Lisa and her team on other weddings and I 110% would highly recommend them for not only a wedding, but any special event a client may have in mind! Cheers to you all!

Absolutely the BEST experience!
What an amazing company/caterer!! We were supposed to get married in May 2020, but with COVID we rescheduled to July... then to October. PIGS was not only flexible, but they also took every precaution to ensure the safety of our guests and their employees when we were finally able to have our wedding. They also really worked with our budget, which was something we truly appreciated. The food was amazing! The brisket was out of this world and the sides and appetizers were also amazing!! As good as the food was, the service was even better. Jimmy was phenomenal and made sure that my husband and I were taken care of with drinks and food the entire night! Not only that, but he knew exactly what the immediate family was drinking and never let a cup stay empty! Everyone else on staff was amazing as well and truly were such a highlight on our special day. Working with Lisa leading up to the big day was such a joy, and I truly enjoyed her warmness over email! Thank you for the amazing experience and excellent food! I would 10/10 recommend this for anyone looking for top notch food and the BEST service!!

Southern Chic Cuisine
Best wedding food ever! My husband and I knew we didn’t want to go the traditional, plated “chicken or fish” route, and we were so pleased when our wedding venue told us about PIGS BBQ. We wanted to have a casual yet elegant reception out in the rolling hills of VA, and this gourmet BBQ couldn’t have been a better fit. From our first conversation to Lisa, to the prompt food tasting, to our wedding night, we were continually impressed with this business. Not only is all of the food absolutely delicious, but Lisa and her staff were professional, attentive, and SO kind. Lisa helped us navigate several changes months leading up to our wedding- and she did it with so much grace. We had such peace of mind going into our big day that the PIGS staff would take care of us and our guests. They went above and beyond, especially making sure my husband and I had food and drinks immediately following the ceremony (during portraits) and then had a full, hot plate ready for us when we concluded our golden hour photoshoot. All of our guests are still raving about how good the food was- and how unique it was for a wedding. It is no surprise that we hardly had any leftovers! We are hoping to have another special event in the future so we can have PIGS BBQ cater again!

We had the opportunity to work with PIGS for our special wedding day. Lisa and her team went above and beyond from the planning, the day of and clean up. We were effected by COVID and Lisa provided all options we had and walked us through what our new plan looked like. We were in constant communication from preparing the proposal until a week before for any last minute updates on her end. For the day of her team was very professional and friendly. Our guests loved the bartender and all of the servers. The staff had the proper PPE and everyone felt safe during the event. We are beyond thankful for our amazing Captain, Daniel. Daniel make sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. We are so thankful that we choose such a great caterer for our special day! We highly recommend PIGS to be trusted for your special day or any other events! Thank you Lisa and team!!!

PIGS catered our wedding. We chose to go with their other division, A Southern Affair, which offers more traditional meal options rather than BBQ, since I am not a huge BBQ fan. However, I did attend a wedding where PIGS served BBQ and was turned into a BBQ believer.
Anyways, we chose to do passed hors d'eurves and plated meals for our wedding. PIGS did a phenomenal job. We are big foodies, just like all of our friends and families and everyone was praising all of the food. The service was even better than I could have ever imagined. Everything went extremely smoothly and I always felt like everything was taken care of throughout the whole process and through the night. We had a little hiccup where performers were late, so that changed the entire schedule. PIGS stepped up big time and took care of everything when the schedule had to be shifted to ensure everything still flowed seamlessly. I cannot compliment them enough. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do any kind of catering. Their prices are unbeatable, the quality of the food is amazing, and the service is impeccable.
