Salt and Smoke

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Columbia, IL

Based out of Saint Louis, MO, Salt + Smoke is a wedding catering company. A team of talented chefs creates delicious dishes inspired by authentic American and traditional barbecue cuisine. High-quality food combines with excellent customer care to ensure that your evening reception is a memorable celebration.

Salt and Smoke Catering did a fantastic job catering our small, intimate wedding. They were incredibly easy to work with throughout the planning process and very responsive to emails and calls, making sure we had all of our questions answered. The day-of, the food was a huge hit with our guests - everyone raved about how delicious it was! For a smaller guest count like ours, their prices were very reasonable and allowed us to serve high quality barbecue without breaking the bank. The meats were perfectly smoked and so flavorful, the sides like mac and cheese and coleslaw were tasty and fresh. Our guests are still telling us it's some of the best wedding food they've had. We'd highly recommend Salt and Smoke for your catering needs, especially if you want delicious yet affordable barbecue fare that your guests will love.

Working with Super Smokers for our wedding was the easiest part of wedding planning. Once we placed our order, we didn’t have to worry about anything else. We even had to change our venue less than 6 weeks before our wedding date and they made the change so easy. And of course the food was amazing. Our wedding was in October 2020 and we still get compliments on the food. We recommend Super Smokers to everyone!
