Why Barbecue Catering Is One of the Best Choices for Weddings and Events
When planning a wedding or special event, one of the biggest choices you’ll make is food. You want flavors your guests will love, portions that satisfy, and service you can rely on, no matter where your celebration is held. That’s why barbecue catering remains one of the most popular and practical options for weddings, corporate events, rehearsal dinners, and family gatherings throughout North and Central Florida.
A Catering Style Everyone Loves
Barbecue has broad appeal. Whether your guests are enjoying appetizers before the ceremony or filling plates during the reception, flavorful smoked meats consistently satisfy people of all ages. Crowd favorites like Pulled Pork, Smoked Turkey, Brisket, and Pit-smoked Chicken bring something familiar and delicious to every table.
From a rehearsal dinner at Mojo Old City BBQ in St. Augustine to an elegant outdoor reception near Mojo Federal Swine & Spirits in Lakeland, barbecue catering delivers bold flavor without pretense.
Flexible Menu Options for Every Celebration
One of the biggest advantages of barbecue catering is customization. Unlike rigid plated menus, BBQ catering can adapt to your event style.
At events near Mojo Bar-B-Que in Jacksonville or Mojo Kitchen in Jacksonville Beach, you can offer a variety of proteins, sides, and plated or buffet options that fit your wedding vibe — whether casual, classic, or elevated.
Sides like Mac & Cheese, Green Beans, Collard Greens, and Smoked Corn complement the meats and help guests feel nourished throughout the celebration.

Great for Large Guest Lists
Weddings and large events require a catering style that can feed many guests smoothly and efficiently. Barbecue works well at scale because it holds up over time without losing quality, especially when expertly prepared by professional pitmasters. Large quantities stay hot and flavorful, and buffet setups allow guests to serve themselves without long waits.
This is especially important for wedding receptions near Mojo Smokehouse in Fleming Island or Mojo No. 4 in Avondale, where turnout can vary widely.
Casual Yet Memorable
Barbecue catering strikes a balance between comfort and quality. It can feel laid-back and welcoming but still be impressive enough for a wedding, corporate event, or formal celebration.
At Brick City Southern Kitchen & Whiskey Bar in Ocala, catering reflects this ideal perfectly, classic barbecue flavors paired with attentive service and room for guests to mingle, laugh, and truly enjoy the event.
Perfect for Outdoor and Unique Event Spaces
From historic venues in St. Augustine to lakefront backdrops near Ocala and Lakeland, barbecue catering works beautifully in outdoor settings. BBQ complements rustic spaces, modern event venues, and casual receptions alike, giving guests both comfort and quality without sacrificing atmosphere.
Partner With an Experienced BBQ Catering Team
When choosing barbecue catering, it pays to work with a team that understands events of all sizes. A catering partner should guide you on portion sizes, timing, and service style so your event remains seamless from start to finish.
No matter whether your guests are dining at one of Mojo’s Florida locations or enjoying a catered event at your chosen venue, barbecue catering offers flavor, flexibility, and memorable moments for every celebration.
