Sample catered weddings

We were inspired by Alex and Starr's desire to provide their guests with an old-fashioned barbecue while having a special feast separate from the guest menu. We asked what they had in mind and they shared they would like a Surf and Turf style dinner. Say no more we said! We had a separate crew serve their guest while we cooked up on site a reverse seared Tomahawk Steak, alongside two gently smoked Colossal Lobster Tails both topped off with our Chimichurri Butter and paired with grilled veggies and buttery soft baby potatoes. Their special meal was carved and served on a customized wood platter that we had made just for them.

    Host

    From our first conversation with Jeff and Christine, we knew Magilla's Barbecue was the right choice for our celebration. They listened to what we wanted and answered every question without any fluff, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of, Jeff, Christine, and their three boys brought such a warm energy to our celebration—they weren't just serving food, they were genuinely part of the party. What impressed us most was how they balanced professionalism with being approachable and fun, fitting right into the vibe of our day like they were family themselves. The barbecue was absolutely delicious, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. I'm so grateful we found them, and I'd recommend Magilla's to anyone looking for caterers who truly care about making your celebration special.

    Wedding cater

    We had Magilla’s BBQ cater our wedding, and Jeff and Christine exceeded all of our expectations. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, Jeff and Christine, along with their team, were organized, friendly, and highly interactive with our guests, making everyone feel welcome and taken care of. One thing that truly impressed us was that they brought their smoker to the venue and cooked portions of the meal on-site. The aroma, presentation, and freshness of the food added an incredible touch to the experience and created an authentic BBQ atmosphere that our guests loved. The food was absolutely outstanding, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. We received countless compliments throughout the evening about both the quality of the food and the exceptional service. What truly set them apart was the atmosphere they created. The presentation, professionalism, and overall ambiance fit our wedding perfectly and added so much to our special day. It was clear that Jeff and Christine genuinely care about their clients and take great pride in their work. We are so grateful to have had Magilla’s BBQ be part of our wedding and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional food, outstanding service, and a catering team that goes above and beyond. Thank you, Jeff and Christine, for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

    Best caterer !

    Magilla's Barbecue was the perfect caterer for our wedding! From the beginning, their communication was consistent and great - they always responded to my questions quickly. The quality of their work and the value they provided was incredible. The food was absolutely delicious - they made some fun appetizers that I had seen online, and they were a hit with our guests! Jeff and Christine were a delight to work with, and I appreciated how well they communicated and how they were willing to change things when I asked. Our guests loved the food and I would highly recommend booking Magilla's Barbecue for your wedding or event.

    Best BBQ Ever

    Hands down the best vendor we worked with. Everyone has an idea of what they what people to remember about their wedding, ours was the food, and they did not disappoint. We keep getting told that this was the best wedding food people have ever had. They were extremely easy to communicate with and gave us exactly what we wanted. Everything was perfectly executed. Book them, you won’t be sorry.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    We hired Magilla’s Barbecue to cater our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have made a better choice. The food was absolutely delicious—so much so that we completely ran out, even after ordering extra! Our guests couldn’t get enough and are still talking about it. The brisket and pulled pork were better than we could have ever imagined—perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The sausages were a huge hit too! My husband and my dad can’t stop talking about the pit beans, and I (along with so many of our guests) fell in love with the mac and cheese. Every dish was a knockout. On top of the incredible food, their communication was top-notch from start to finish. Super professional, responsive, and easy to work with, which made the whole planning process so much smoother. While waiting for our wedding day, we were so excited for the food that we kept an eye on their Instagram for their pop-up events—just to get our fix! My personal favorite? The chile relleno sausages. Absolutely to die for. We’re so grateful to Magilla’s Barbecue for helping make our day even more memorable. Highly, highly recommend!
