Planning a Backyard BBQ Wedding

As 2020 progresses, there are a lot of interesting wedding trends that are coming to the forefront, and Smokin’ Bones BBQ Catering has options for all of them! From different varieties of appetizers, a twist on classic cocktails, and lots of different types of food options, it’s clear that 2020 is going to be a unique one for weddings! Smokin Bones BBQ Catering is able to help you bring these trends to life and create an unforgettable wedding, right in your own backyard - here’s how:

A Different Part of the World at Each Station

Rather than sticking to one specific cuisine throughout, one of the big wedding trends for 2020 is all about the station. Fresh BBQ meats, cooked right in front of guests, and lots of different options to try! As guests rotate throughout the event, they are able to sample different foods at stations, making it more interactive and interesting. At Smokin Bones, we offer a lot of different menus, including cultural options such as Greek, Asian, and Italian so that you can have a wide variety of stations to offer guests.

Grazing Dishes as Appetizers

Instead of one or two traditional appetizer options, why not offer a few? The key difference for 2020 when it comes to appetizers is to do smaller platters and grazing boards rather than 1-2 big appetizer options. This allows guests to nibble as they wait for dishes instead of just finishing off a plate, and they get to try different options. We offer different grazing options such as cheeses, fruit, smoked salmon, shrimp, and vegetable platters among others so that guests are able to pick from lots of different options. 

The Rise of the Craft Cocktail

As more people gain interest in cocktails and specialty alcohol drinks, expect to see craft cocktails become a popular hit at the wedding. Many couples offer a specialty cocktail crafted just for the wedding, alongside some fun and inventive cocktails for guests to try balanced with some classics. We are able to provide experienced, friendly and professional bar staff that can help make this happen, from helping with more inventive cocktails to providing classic drinks for guests. 

Small Decorative Cakes

Our dessert menu is all about taking trends and making it our own. Small decorative cakes are a big trend for 2020, and our dessert menu is about offering the ultimate choice. From small cakes to our classic summer bread pudding with Jack Daniels bourbon sauce, we have it all. Our sweet tooth options are freshly baked and created, and all about indulgence and creating an unforgettable flavor to end the event on a high note.

Late-Night Snacks

Another trend that’s becoming more popular? Some late-night snacks to keep the fun going as you celebrate the night away. Whether guests are getting a little peckish, or just you want something on the lighter side for guests to snack on post-party, we have it covered. Options like our Fajitas Festival, Great Grecian and Le Quebecois Poutine offer great handheld options and fun food to snack on as the party goes on.
