20/10 would recommend!

Hands down the best wedding decision we made! Brandon was a pleasure out of the gate from our first initial call. We got engaged in 2019 and ended up postponing our wedding twice due to COVID - all throughout he was a constant source of support.

Food and Cocktails were a huge focus throughout the planning process and we truly wanted our guests to feel like it was a huge family dinner. I can't begin to tell you how many compliments we received around our menu, Brandon's set up and the signature cocktails. By the time of our wedding we truly had a friend there cooking for our guests.

I could not recommend Brandon and his team enough - the menu planning process was so collaborative, he was so responsive, and overall was just a blast to work with. He's a gem of a human - and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

HVBBQ Wedding Caterer

HVBBQ and the whole team were an absolute dream to work with throughout the whole wedding process. Brandon was the first vendor we booked (before even being sure about our venue) because we just loved how his food looked and our initial conversations with him. We worked together to create our dream menu, filled with our favorite foods and celebrating different places we have lived. Heather made sure that there was communication throughout the whole process and the tasting was one of the best parts of planning- getting to try all the delicious foods and talk about everything.
On the wedding day I saw Brandon right before walking down the aisle, he gave me a huge hug and totally calmed all my nerves. The food was delicious and it was so fun getting to watch Brandon cook. Some of our guests were trying to bribe Brandon's staff for more short ribs (no bribes needed, more was brought out right away). His staff were amazing throughout the whole night. Thank you to Brandon and the HVBBQ team!

A unique caterer that offers more than great food!

We could not be happier with our decision to work with Brandon and everyone at Farm to Fire to cater our wedding. I'm not sure "no" is in Brandon's vocabulary as he was up for whatever we threw at him. From our initial conversation with endless questions about food options, food allergies and how those would be handled, set-up, serving and everything in between, Brandon had the right answer and put our minds at ease. Within a week of making the decision to go with Farm to Fire, Brandon sent over a menu that blew us away. We had given him a few ideas we'd seen at other weddings as well as some of our favorite dishes, and from those notes he created a diverse menu that perfectly reflected us. From there he was incredibly communicative; getting back to emails, texts or calls almost immediately. A few months prior to the big day we were able to sit down with Brandon for a tasting and while we expected that it would be good, he exceeded those expectations. Of course that was for just the two of us but when it came time to cook for 150+ people the quality didn't waver. Brandon's giant open-flame rig was such a fun and unique site to greet our guests and certainly piqued everyone's interest as to what was in store for dinner. Everyone got their first taste during the cocktail hour where the grazing table and hors d'oeuvres drew rave reviews (special shout-out to the bite-sized reubens!). Brandon's staff was on top of EVERYTHING during that time; constantly circulating the hors d'oeuvres and even taking the time to make a special platter for my wife and I, as they noticed how busy we were conversing and posing for pictures. Obviously the big part of the night was dinner and once again, these guys went above and beyond. From the perfectly cooked cedar plank salmon to the mouthwatering picanha served with a variety of toppings - a special request so that people were able to dress their steak how they liked with either blue cheese crumbles, chimichurri or horseradish cream - everything tasted incredible. Finally, we ended the night with a classic - cookies & ice cream - and despite a muggy night, they pulled it off! Almost forgot to mention that somehow Brandon was able to do his open-fire cooking not just on a hot, muggy day but also on a day that saw a steady rain for a good half hour prior to the ceremony. Still not sure how he pulled that off. It was truly a pleasure to work with Brandon but just as much of a pleasure to watch him work; a true master of his craft who takes great pride in what he does. I would HIGHLY recommend you allow Brandon and his crew to make your special day that much more special!
