Whether you're planning a rustic barn wedding, an elegant outdoor reception, or a laid-back gathering under the stars, we'll help create a meal that feels uniquely yours. From tender smoked meats, hand-cut steaks, homemade sides, and fresh-baked breads to one-of-a-kind specialties, everything is prepared with the care and attention we'd give our own family celebration.

Looking for something a little different? Alongside our classic barbecue favorites, we offer creative fusion items like our signature BBQ Sushi and fresh Cowboy Caviar, as well as specialty game meat options including elk steaks and kangaroo tacos for couples who want to give their guests an unforgettable experience. We've been around since 2001 and our goal is simple: serve incredible food, and treat everyone like family.

    Wedding Catering

    From our first conversation with Big Rascal BBQ, we knew we'd made the right choice. Jessica was an incredible communicator who listened to every detail and even helped answer questions for our venue because she'd prepared so thoroughly. Since it was a new venue for them, the team took extra time to visit beforehand and plan everything out, which made the night of our wedding run without a hitch. Our Bride and Groom had zero worries thanks to how smoothly Jessica managed the catering. All our guests were genuinely impressed with both the appetizers and dinner. We can't thank Big Rascal BBQ enough for making the day feel so special and stress-free.

    A well kept Central Florida secret.

    From our first conversation with Big Rascal BBQ, we knew we had found our caterer. The team was direct and honest about what they could deliver, and they followed through on every promise. On our wedding day, the staff greeted guests with genuine smiles and kept the food flowing at lightning speed, which was a lifesaver with so many hungry kids running around. Their Texas-style BBQ was top-tier quality, and we loved how they mixed in unexpected fusion flavors that kept everyone talking about the meal. After years of winning competitions and building their reputation in the community, it's clear why Big Rascal BBQ is trusted for special events—the portions were huge, the beef grades were excellent, and the value we got for our money was unbeatable. We can't recommend them highly enough.

    Taco Bar

    The staff and owner made my day so easy and stress free! Their attention to detail is out of this world. Their communication is like no other, from picking the main dish to the sides, to the headcount. They helped take so much weight off my shoulders! Big Rascals truly takes the cake when it comes to the quality of food and the presentation! I can’t rave about them enough! I am STILL thinking about the tacos. Truly amazing staff and company all around.

We ALWAYS recommend meeting 2 times leading up to the big day. One meeting will focus on finalizing menus and headcount. One to go over final venue and wedding logistics. If meeting in person is difficult, we easily work with event coordinators and offer meetings via zoom.
For Winter and Fall Weddings, we recommend booking at least 6 months in advance. For the remainder of the year, 3 months is sufficient.
All of North & Central Florida, including Jax, Orlando, Melbourne, & Tampa Bay. Trip charge varies with distance and equipment required.

Varies on a case by case basis with a minimum of generally 50 heads or $1500.
