  Shawn's BBQ Catering Company was AMAZING! We felt little to no stress with our planning process with the catering company. They have varying packages which was nice to see while planning your wedding. Although the prices seem reasonable, it does add up and seeing some of those final numbers were shocking but we felt that it was worth every penny! They also work really closely with our wedding venue, The Ospreys at Belmont Bay and hosted several food tasting events. We were able to go to their tasting one day at the venue and they had almost everything made from their catering menu. We were able to put together a menu for our wedding day while doing the tasting. During the planning process, both Stephanie and Lisa were quick to respond with their emails anytime we bombarded them with questions. As the day got closer, they participated with us and our in-house coordinator and put together a schedule. During that meeting, Lisa had provided samples of linen colors and ideas of how the reception layout should be. The day of our wedding, Lisa and our in-house coordinator put everything together to make our day unforgettable! Everything looked amazing with the linen, the layout and food. They had extra appetizers and drinks for our bridal party to enjoy right after the ceremony while our guests went inside to enjoy cocktail hour. We had to provided the alcohol for our guests, but they provided bartenders which was one less thing to worry about. We selected a signature drink and they worked with us on what we should provide for it and what they would provide. We also chose a buffet style due to our budget and the downfall of that is that it takes time for guests to get up, get their food, return to their seats and eat. However, our guests raved about our food choices. Everything we delicious and people were wanting seconds. Still to this day, people are giving us compliments about how delicious the food was and I think we're going to try out the restaurant soon!

  Wow! Such great service from this company. These guys were recommended to me by my DJ and they did not disappoint at all. From the very beginning of planning our menu, the flexibility and customer service was outstanding. The evening of the reception, the wait staff and bartender were great. The food was excellent and everyone was talking about how good the food was the whole night. Don't think they do only BBQ because I am plant based as well as my sister and they helped me select items that would go with the rest of the buffet but still give me some choices as well. I don't think we could have had a better caterer.

  The food was amazing and my only regret is not eating more. I waited until the last minute to hide (within 2 weeks of the wedding) and they worked with me to adjust our menu to fit our needs, wants and budget. They were amazing!!!

  We were planning our wedding long distance and Shawn's catering really worked with us via email and phone to figure out the details. They also allowed my family to be involved for parts we couldn't be there in person. I was blown away by the final set up. They did a great job at the bar, the tables, and with setup and cleanup. It was more than I expected and the event moved along very smoothly!
