Guests often travel a long way and buy fancy gifts for weddings, so many brides feel that the least they can do is offer some good food and fun. The problem is that catering is SO expensive. We met with one caterer who had a $5000 minimum food purchase requirement, which didn't include cake or alcohol. That's insane!
BBQ is the latest wedding trend for affordable event catering, and Blue Moon is our go-to BBQ place. They don't have a minimum purchase requirement, and they're prices are competitive. We have used them for multiple events and weddings, and each time guests rave about the food. They're just so thankful they didn't have to eat another dried out chicken breast type of wedding meal.
Worried that BBQ isn't classy enough for your wedding? Skip the buns, use forks, and put it on fancy plates. I promise, your guests will love it!
If you need a Blue Moon recommendation, our vote is that you go for the mac n' cheese. Seriously, it's awesome. They're flat, pancake-looking cornbread is also wonderful.
To give an example, one of our weddings ordered 2 types of meat (pork & chicken), baked means, mac n' cheese, slaw, cornbread, tea, & lemonade for 75 people, and the total cost was about $800. That comes to about $10 a head, and if you've done any research on caterers, you know that this is an excellent price!
Blue Moon BBQ is located in Lebanon, TN, so they're great for any weddings on the North & East sides of Nashville. They have delivered on time every time that we've used them, and they are good about keeping the food hot. Just watch out for their delivery van; it's tie-dyed with a pig on top, so you might want to hide it in the back, out of view of your pictures.
When you call, talk to the owner, Tom. He's very helpful, and he doesn't need a ton of notice, so Blue Moon is great for last minute weddings, or if you've blown your budget and need to make a caterer change to cut costs.
Enjoy!
