How far in advance should I book BBQ catering for my wedding or event?
For weddings and large events (75+ guests) in Milwaukee, Menomonee Falls, or Sussex, we recommend booking 3-6 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season (May-October). Corporate events and smaller private parties can often be accommodated with 2-4 weeks notice.
Our Whole Hog Premium Package requires 45 days advance notice due to sourcing and preparation requirements. For last-minute events, contact us directly—we occasionally have availability for smaller gatherings within a week's notice. Early booking ensures your preferred date and best pricing for Wisconsin BBQ catering.

What makes your Wisconsin BBQ different from other caterers?
We use 100% Wisconsin Oak for smoking all our meats—no gas, no shortcuts. This authentic Wisconsin wood gives our BBQ a distinctive flavor you can't get anywhere else. Our meats are slow-smoked using traditional recipes passed down through generations, creating the authentic BBQ taste Milwaukee and Sussex residents love.
We're also committed to quality ingredients: no MSG, no artificial flavors, and we're free of major allergens. As a family-owned business since 2019, we're your neighbors in Sussex, not a corporate catering chain. Every event gets personal attention from our team, and we're proud members of the Menomonee Falls/Sussex Chamber of Commerce.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
Absolutely! We regularly accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free requests throughout our Wisconsin service area. While our specialty is BBQ, we offer vegetarian options including mac and cheese, pasta dishes, and various sides. We're happy to work with you to create a custom menu that fits your guests' needs for any Milwaukee, Sussex, or Menomonee Falls event.
For vegan or highly specialized dietary needs, we recommend discussing options during your initial consultation. We can also adjust spice levels and create custom sauces. Our goal is ensuring every guest at your Wisconsin event has a great meal—reach out to discuss your specific dietary requirements!
What's included with your full-service catering?
Our full-service catering includes complete event management: professional staff for setup, buffet service, and cleanup; elegant presentation with branded linens, chafers, and serving dishes; all disposable plates, napkins, and utensils; and on-site coordination throughout your event.
Full-service catering starts at $25/person with a 20% service fee. This is ideal for weddings, galas, and upscale corporate events in Milwaukee, Menomonee Falls, and surrounding areas where you want to focus on your guests, not logistics. We handle everything so you can enjoy your Wisconsin event stress-free!
Do you offer tastings before booking?
Yes! We offer tastings for wedding clients and large events (75+ guests). Tastings are typically scheduled 2-4 weeks before your final menu selection and can include samples of our signature smoked meats, sides, and sauces. This ensures you're completely confident in your menu choice for your Milwaukee or Sussex event.
For smaller events or corporate catering, we can provide detailed descriptions and photos of our menu items. Many of our Sussex and Menomonee Falls clients also visit us at local farmers markets or community events to sample our Wisconsin BBQ before booking. We want you to taste the quality before committing!
What's the difference between your food trailer and traditional catering?
Our food trailer brings an interactive BBQ experience to your event—guests watch as we serve fresh-smoked meats on-site with authentic BBQ smoke in the air. It's perfect for outdoor weddings, festivals, and corporate events in Milwaukee, Waukesha, and throughout Wisconsin where you want a unique, memorable atmosphere.
Traditional catering is delivered hot and ready to serve, or we set up a buffet for you. It's more convenient for indoor events, office locations in Brookfield or Menomonee Falls, or when you prefer a quick setup. Both options feature the same quality Wisconsin oak-smoked BBQ—just different presentation styles to match your event needs!
