Affordable Wedding Rehersal Dinner BBQ? Why YES, "YES We Do”

You have found the perfect mate, set a date for marriage and are ready to interview those caterers and wedding planners for the best day of your lives. You chose your fabulous celebrity-esque wedding dress, you picked out your amazing wedding cake design, your invitations are on order. You choose to have BBQ…wait, what?!?  BBQ for a wedding?  Absolutely, and here’s how to make that Southern BBQ an upscale affair without breaking your tight budgets.

Invite them to a rehearsal dinner they won’t forget!  With so many couples having friends and family coming from far away places for the wedding, many are choosing to invite a larger crowd to the rehearsal dinner.  This is the perfect time to create a low key, laid back event where your friends can relax with one another and your Dear Aunt Harriett can get to know your new mate’s family!  Traditional Pig Pickin’s give everyone a chance to relax, focus on family and have a unique meal and experience.  The smell of hickory smoke in the air, hushpuppies in the pan and fresh, succulent pork makes for good eating and a great way to get the whole family together.  Local beers anyone??

Dress your Pig up for the Wedding!  Many couples are now looking to BBQ caterers to provide hand carved, smoked meats to their guests in lieu of traditional pulled pork or chicken bbq.  Hickory Smoked Turkey Breast, Sliced Beef Brisket, Smoked Beef Sirloin or even smoked salmon and shrimp are finding their way to the center of the plate for many couples’ reception meals.  Pair these meats with fresh greens beans, collards, mashed sweet potatoes or corn on the cob and you’ve got a delicious meal that has something for everyone at a reasonable price.  In the summer, try a ratatouille of fresh eggplant, squashes, tomatoes and onions to provide a robust and healthy vegetarian option even meat lovers appreciate. 

It seems that as our culinary world get smaller and the world’s cuisines literally come to our front door steps, the traditional lure of Southern Pit Smoked BBQ and BBQ’d meats offers what many cuisines can’t- good ole comfort food and the warmth of generous, loving family.  This makes Southern BBQ the perfect wedding food to bring two families together for a lifetime of adventure.
