LIVE-FIRE WEDDING CATERING

YOUR DINNER DOESN’T HAVE TO HAPPEN BEHIND A KITCHEN DOOR

We cook over fire in front of your guests, turning the meal into part of the wedding instead of something that simply arrives on a plate.

COCKTAIL HOUR

Passed bites and interactive fire stations give guests something to gather around from the beginning.

DINNER

Choose buffet, family-style or a full live-fire feast. Think legendary tomahawks, whole hogs, cedar plank salmon and seasonal vegetables, with a menu created around your celebration.

FULL SERVICE

Menu planning • staffing • setup • service • breakdown • rentals • dietary accommodations • coordination with your venue and planner

Your first meeting and tasting with us happens at Duetts, our bar and venue in Martindale. Available for weddings and rehearsal dinners for up to 300 guests, it comes with an owner’s advantage: ask about a great deal on your venue, food and bar package.

A wedding dinner with some life to it.

Passed bites while everyone catches up. A fire going as dinner comes together. Food and service planned around your reception, your venue and your guests.

Choose how dinner feels

Family style brings shared dishes to the table. A buffet keeps the grill part of the experience. Plated service gives each guest an individual meal. We’ll explain how each choice changes staffing, timing and rentals.

Work through the whole timeline

We coordinate the food-service plan with your planner and venue: cocktail hour, dinner, vendor meals, any late-night food, and the duties our team handles during the contracted hours.

Take care of the details early

Tell us about dietary needs, children and vendor meals before the menu is final. We’ll confirm tableware, rental quantities, loading access and the weather plan in your proposal.
