We had Big Reds Cater our wedding this past October and they were hands down exactly what we were looking for! Delicious food, great portions, and as someone who did a very DIY wedding, what attracted us the most to them was that they handled all the serving, and provided all the plates/ silverware etc. which made it super easy for me, as the bride, to be able to enjoy my day with no worries! Big Reds BBQ was originally setup in 1 location at the venue with really tight space, but they were able to pivot really easily and move their setup outside and work with us, and I'm so appreciative they did! Cleanup was a breeze. Through out the entire process they were so helpful and responsive, which was such a vital aspect of their services for me. I 11/10 recommend Big Reds BBQ, they were amazing!

Big Reds was a HUGE hit at my wedding. They were always responsive and the guests absolutely loved the food. Had great seasoning/flavor, and the Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious. The crew came in and out so smoothly and it was a great experience overall.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
are normal catering prices are pork or chicken and 2 sides for about $10 a person brisket and ribs are a little more we also do combos of different meats for around $13 a person we have many sides to choose from but many have said my mashed potatoes is the best thing they ever ate. also my candied bacon but that's another story!!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
just give me a call or email and let's go from there I have nothing to hide and love hearing from people who are interested in my food no price is firm if you want to discuss them please feel free.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm self taught and I had a great aunt who was a chef that taught me alot. I've doing BBQ competitions since I was a teenager and I just started from then I think trial by error works best. I also take every opinion to heart good or bad I like hearing people's honest opinions and critiques.
