Why BBQ Catering Is Perfect for Weddings

More couples are choosing BBQ wedding catering because it creates a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that guests absolutely love.

Instead of formal plated meals, BBQ brings people together around mouth-watering smoked meats, sweet and tangy barbecue sauce, and classic comfort food sides.

With Famous Dave's catering, your guests can enjoy:

• Tender baby back ribs slow-smoked for hours
• Savory spare ribs and back ribs with bold seasoning
• Hickory-smoked brisket and pulled pork
• Scratch-made sides your family will love
• Delicious desserts and drinks to complete the meal

From the first bite to the last slice of brisket, every plate is designed to create a fantastic wedding dining experience.

Celebrate Outdoor Weddings, Casual Weddings, Barn Weddings and Western Weddings in Style

Oh, did we say BBQ? Yes, that's because we think you'll find Famous Dave's to be the absolute best option for catering any outdoor, countrified or casual wedding in the Chicago area.

Lately, the world has fallen in love with weddings in beautiful, rustic settings such as barns. In fact, barn weddings have become so popular that there are whole businesses run just on renting out barns to the pursuit of wedded bliss. We've found, though, that no wedding is complete without the right food to complement the scene, which is where some good old-fashioned barbecue comes in. You'll find our offerings perfect for wedding held at:

• Wild West Recreations
• Your Backyard
• A Family Estate
• Parks and Campsites
• The Beach
• Open Fields

... and more. There's a casual intimacy created by glowing lanterns, firelight, candles in Mason jars, dance floors made of old planks or, heck, just some packed dirt. Our food complements that intimacy perfectly, harkening back to previous centuries, where all a celebration needed was some soft lighting, some excellent food and some happy folks.

That's where our delicious slow-smoked barbecue and scratch-made sides come in. Chicken wings, spicy meatballs, fruit and veggie platters, smoked salmon, ribs, corn bread ... it's everything you remember from your last hoe-down, classed up with vegetarian options, beautiful buffet setups and even food truck service, if that be your ever-so-modern desire.
