When my now-husband and I got engaged, we knew immediately that we wanted barbecue food at our reception. The venue that we selected, Happy Days Lodge, has Old Caroline Barbecue as a preferred caterer, so honestly the decision to have them cater our wedding was an easy one for us to make. However, it was the attention to detail and excellent communication from Brooke Guiley, their director of catering services, that really made OCB so incredible to work with. She was extremely responsive throughout the entire planning process, and she even ensured that we were able to make a couple of customizations to some menu items to deal with a food allergy issue. Also, when we ended up scheduling some rehearsal and set-up time somewhat last minute, she ensured that all of our linens and place settings got delivered a day early so that we could get the most out of the time that we had the space. On top of all of that, the food was amazing on the day of the event - we had several guests come up and tell us how delicious everything was, and my husband and I actually made time to sit down and eat it because we loved it so much. I truly can’t say enough good things about the experience of working with OCB. I highly recommend! -

Old Carolina is a a must have for your wedding! We had a private tasting at the restaurant in Orrville where the food was outstanding. We knew before we left that it was the right choice for us. Brooke, who helped with our quote and timeline, did a wonderful job and was extremely detailed and helpful! We decided to have a fruit and veggie tray for our cocktail hour. Then for dinner we had chicken legs/thighs, pulled pork, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, rolls, and salad. Yes, we did have leftovers, but we were so happy to share more with others and take some back home. It was an absolute hit! -

We had an amazing experience overall. We worked with Brooke and she went above and beyond helping us with food. The food tasting allowed us to try everything and narrow down what we wanted. We had vegetarian guests and were able to provide them with a great meal. Brooke worked with us to help fit things into our budget. As the wedding planning evolved we decided to add on some extra entree options, plates, glasses and linens and the process was very easy. Brooke was flexible and just sent updated invoices as we went. The catering staff were amazing and friendly serving the food the day of the wedding. We throughly enjoyed our meal and the guests loved the food. We would highly recommend Old Carolina to anyone for their wedding or event -

We hired Old Carolina for our wedding Saturday September 7th 2019 for $140 people it was FANTASTIC! Brooke the manger for catering was so helpful through the whole process and was such a pleasure to work with her. We hired Old Carolina for a Full Service and they went above and beyond our expectations. It was AMAZING! The staff was super sweet and easy to work with I didn’t have to worry about anything. We were definitely pleased and our guest kept giving us great feedback about their service! Everything tasted great as well as the service being FANTASTIC! Definitely worth the money and well worth the great experience they provided! We definitely will be recommending them to everyone we know. -

We had our outdoor June wedding catered by Old Carolina and were so happy with our choice. They were easy to work with and were great at communicating through email and over the phone. The day of the wedding, the staff was helpful & accommodating to the rainy weather. The food was DELICIOUS - so many of our guests reached out to us to let us know how good it was. Old Carolina has several vegetarian/vegan/gluten free options as well. -

My daughter loves anything and everything barbecue, so when we saw Old Carolina Barbecue on the preferred vendor list at our wedding venue, we were eager to give them a try. Leslianne was a dream to work with, so professional and responsive. She invited us to a taste-testing evening, and once we tried the food, we were completely hooked. We are still receiving compliments about how good the food was five weeks after the wedding. The Old Carolina BBQ team worked together like a well-oiled machine, cheerfully and quickly serving everyone, answering questions, and helping wherever possible. And when dinner was over, they dismantled the buffet so quickly and quietly that nobody even realized they'd done it unless they happened to look over and see that it was gone! We could not have been more pleased with them and will highly recommend them to anyone seeking delicious food, great service and a lot of very happy wedding guests. -

Old Carolina BBQ definitely stepped up and took on a challenge. I has spoken with the catering manager, who no longer works there, about a year and a half prior to my wedding. He made promises, gave us quotes, and we put the deposit down. Then, time goes by, and 2.5 weeks or so before my wedding, I call to confirm the number of people and the final price with them. The staff informed me that the catering manager I had worked with no longer was employed there, they had NO RECORD of our event, and I would have to call back to speak with upper management. After some internal freaking out, I spoke with Mark, the general manager of the store. He was very nice, very helpful, and promised me that he and his team would perform and deliver every promise the previous catering manager had agreed to. I had to admit, I was nervous they were not going to show up the day of. But right on time, Mark, personally came to work my event, and his team arrived and began working right away. They were professional, the food was delicious, and lived up to all my exceptions. Thank you for being awesome and setting up, Old Carolina BBQ!!
