We chose to work with Steve and Hickory BBQ for our wedding caterer in the Hudson Valley. They were absolutely amazing to work with and a very cost friendly option, especially for an open bar and robust food menu. They made our fall barbecue dreams come true!!

Our spread came buffet style and we chose to serve ribs, prime roast, and salmon. We had so many compliments that people absolutely loved the food, especially the salmon and sweet potatoes. We truly had so many options to choose from for cocktail hour and dinner. Guests raved that the food was truly so good and their expectations for food served at weddings is usually pretty low.

The bartenders and staff were great. They made a great signature cocktail for us and worked especially hard when there was a big rush for drinks during our cocktail hour. Although Hickory had great dessert options, we did want to bring in some homemade desserts from family members and their team easily accommodated it.

Steve was also great to work with in advance as we didn’t quite know what we were getting into with a DIY style wedding. He recommended great vendors, so we could have all the barware and essentials needed for serve 165 people. We also stopped in the restaurant beforehand to try all our menu options, which I highly recommend as it got us really excited for the big day and our chosen spread. Highly recommend Hickory BBQ as one of the top catering vendors to work with in the Hudson Valley if you want something different than many of the farm to table options available in the area. We’re excited to come back as a married couple next time we are in Kingston!

We had Hickory BBQ cater both our rehearsal dinner and wedding, and they were fantastic. Steve was easy to communicate with, and super flexible with the offerings, as we had to keep it kosher style, and they even served a few kosher meals that were sourced elsewhere for us. The food was excellent (brisket was a huge highlight) and the staff was awesome. And the pricing is really reasonable. We're so happy we went with HIckory for our catering and would recommend to anyone! Thank you so much Steve!

I hired Hickory Barbecue to cater my backyard wedding and they did not disappoint. Steve and his team were awesome and their professionalism was forefront on my wedding day. They arrived at our home and immediately went to work setting up their prep area to get dinner on the table for our guests. My guests were served at their tables in record time and Hickory staff even packed up our leftovers when dinner was over and put them in our fridge! Our menu was barbecue inspired as our wedding was outdoors in late August and everyone raved over the food. The barbecue brisket and smoked chicken were clear winners with our guests. Owner Steve and the staff at Hickory were wonderful and I cannot say it enough. I was able to enjoy to my wedding day with no worries regarding dinner. Truly money well spent!
