Our Dream Caterer

We had the Lancaster Smokehouse cater our wedding last weekend and it was the most phenomenal experience, from the first tasting we had with them to having the late-night taco bar at our wedding. They came with their food truck and provided the hors d'oeuvres, the main dinner, dessert, and the late-night snack. The food was like it always is - delicious and comforting! Neil, the catering coordinator was so great to work with and was always there for any questions I had and was so flexible. Martha, the baker, did an amazing job with our wedding cakes and we got a lot of compliments on how yummy they were. They also did a great job with setting up and cleaning up. My husband and I couldn't have been happier with the service and the pricing was very fair, considering how much you get for your wedding. Thank you so much Lancaster Smokehouse for providing the catering of our dreams!

Perfect low-key venue

Hosted our wedding in the loft upstairs (75 people) and it was everything we wanted. They booked off the room the night before (no charge) so we could set up and do a rehearsal. We got there and they had already set up all the tables and linens for us, all we had to do was put out our centrepieces and assemble our decorative arch. They have their own sound system, but had no qualms with us bringing our own, along with our own musicians and DJ.

Our guests raved about the food, and the bartenders and wait staff were both friendly and professional. Absolutely recommend, Neil and his team helped us put on a great reception!!!

The staff at the Lancaster Smokehouse where amazing during our wedding reception. They were very helpful and despite the chaos of things they kept everything organized. The price is a little high for the food but it is absolutely amazing and we had no complaints. I would definitely host another party there.

We hosted our son and daughter in law's wedding at the Lancaster this weekend. Our experience from beginning to end was exceptional. Neil was excellent to work with, he was very accommodating, flexible and quick to respond. We were able to decorate the venue on Friday during the day. Neil had the table cloths, linens, plates and cutlery set out, all we had to do was add our centre pieces. The buffet was plentiful and delicious.
The beef brisket and smoked chicken, were incredible, best I've ever had! I was so pleased to be able to provide vegan options to our 2 vegan guests. They loved the Shrooms and Grits! Thanks for everything Neil and team! I would highly recommend this venue!

Lancaster Smokehouse Wedding

It was such a pleasure working with Lancaster for our wedding. We had about 75 people with a buffet style. It was the perfect space for your traditional set up, long tables, head table, cocktail standing room and a dance floor. It was beautiful but also casual/intimate. Bar service and food service was incredible, they were timely and so flexible with menu options and letting us bring in our own food for dessert. They gave us multiple dates to sample the menu and visit the space. The price is so worth the amount of time they allow you, we had day before set up and a flexible clean up date after. Our guests still rave about our food to this day and the fun atmosphere.
