Farm to Fire by Hudson Valley BBQ Co

Absolutely awesome catering service! Brandon is an exceptionally friendly, thoughtful, creative, and helpful person and it was always a pleasure interacting with him; he made sure to keep in regular contact throughout the entire planning process. The food was absolutely incredible and varied and delicious; our guests still rave about the quality of everything, and Brandon was super adaptable with our guests' various dietary needs. Hudson Valley BBQ Co is undeniably a top-tier catering service, and Brandon and all his staff are amazing people and I could not recommend them more highly!

As the mother of the bride, I wanted everything to be perfect for my daughter’s wedding, and Farm to Fire exceeded all of my expectations. From our very first meeting, I knew we were in good hands. Brandon's super thoughtful, attentive, and eager to understand exactly what we envisioned for the big day.
The food was simply exquisite! Every dish was a hit, from the flavorful appetizers to the beautifully prepared entrees. I can’t tell you how many guests came up to me during the reception to rave about the meal. The variety they offered was incredible, and they catered wonderfully to all dietary needs without compromising on taste or presentation.
I am so thankful to Farm to Fire for helping make my daughter’s wedding day so beautiful and memorable. They played such an important part in making it a magical event, and I would highly recommend them to any family planning a wedding. They truly go above and beyond!

Chef Brandon and his team were outstanding!!! Starting at the beginning in 2023, he worked with us to pull together a menu that we loved, he was communicative, and reassuring the whole way through, and he worked seamlessly with our coordinator as soon as we looped her into the final weeks of planning. The food and the service on the day of the wedding were above and beyond our expectations. We wouldn't change a thing, except maybe we would have eaten more apps - note to future couples: cocktail hour really flies by! The food was truly so so so good. Multiple people approached us during and after dinner telling us this was the best meal they'd ever had a wedding, and we may be biased, but we agree. I was hoping I'd have some photos to share with this post, but we're still waiting on those - I will try to edit it when those come in to show off the spread this team served up!

Don’t even bother. Simply horrible. Brandon ruined my whole summer.

I can’t say enough good things about Brandon and his catering company! From the very first meeting, he was incredibly personable and attentive, making sure to understand our vision for the wedding.

The food was absolutely outstanding—our guests are still raving about it! Each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor.
The service on the wedding day was flawless. Brandon and his team were professional, friendly, and made everything run smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy our celebration.

Had guests tell us this was the best food they have had at a wedding!

We had the pleasure of hiring Chef Brandon and his staff for my daughter's wedding on 09/06/2024.If I could give him more than five stars I would.
The food was outstanding, unique, beautifully presented, and SO DELICIOUS! Everyone raved about the food from the cocktail hour thru out the dinner reception. All his staff were attentive, professional, and very friendly.
Chef Brandon was engaged right from the start of our planning, contributing creative and very helpful ideas and suggestions. He was a wonderful part of our "Dream Team" that made my daughter's wedding so fabulous.

Chef Brandon and his team catered our recent September 2024 wedding on Lake George. Brandon was a pleasure to work with during the planning process and we loved getting to collaborate with him directly. He always made us feel comfortable and at ease, and he truly understood our vision for the menu. His pricing was also extremely reasonable for the creativity as well as quality of what we received, especially compared to some caterers in this destination region!

On the wedding night, all of our guests raved about the food including his little extra touches. His staff were also extremely attentive and fun to work with, and nailed both the cocktail hour and reception dinner. Our 'refined backyard BBQ' was everything we envisioned it to be. We are so happy with our choice and know you will be too if you choose Farm to Fire! Thank you Brandon and team!

HV BBQ is everything you could ask for and more from the food to staff they are the real deal

Brandon and his team were INCREDIBLE! From the start, Brandon did an amazing job listening to our preferences and (very loose) wedding vision and helped create a menu that perfectly matched our tastes. We definitely had a lot of questions and made a few changes, and Brandon was so responsive and accommodating. Day-of, his team was on-time, professional, and the food & drinks were SO DAMN GOOD. Everyone loved the food and the Farm to Fire staff, and I can't recommend them enough.

Aside from the actual getting married part, working with Brandon was one of the highlights of our wedding. We had a unique wedding venue in the Catskills, and from start to finish, I knew we had chosen the right caterer for our event. First, after having some technical difficulties on their website, Brandon spent nearly an hour with me on the phone talking about how his team works, our event and what the possibility of menus could be. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, he was a wealth of knowledge and was happy to provide any assistance or advice. He even came for a site visit, and drove 2 hours in the rain to come up with a game plan. The day of my wedding, our coordinator cancelled and he was my first text. He reassured me, he and his team would handle it. And that they did. When I arrived at the venue with one of my bridesmaids, I went in to check how things were progressing and Brandon pulled my maid of honor to the side "if ANYTHING needs attention, someone's not acting right or the bride and groom need anything, you tell me" - brandon to my bridesmaid. And OH MY GOD, the food. I'm writing this review a month after my wedding and people are still asking me how I found the caterer. The mac'n'cheese to die, the pork with chimichurri, to die. THE CREAM PUFF TOWER. Literally a dream of mine since I was 8, to have a cream puff tower at my wedding and it was there. I can not say enough about Brandon and his entire team, they truly made our day so spectacular.

Brandon and team delivered as promised. They were punctual, thorough, and most concerned with making sure our event was a success. AND the food was delicious and beautifully presented. We would hire them again!

I’m leaving this review to discourage anyone from trusting Brandon with an important event. We had reached out to him months in advance of our wedding. He kept going on and on about how awesome it sounded, that he was looking forward to it more than other weddings he was planning, etc etc. We agreed on a price and then he went silent. I followed up multiple times via email and phone call asking for confirmation and a contract. Nothing. Right when I was about to give up on him, he answered the phone and pretended like he had been sending me documents that I had not received. He told me he felt horrible and that he would be making it right immediately, and even offered to come and do a site visit. Surprise surprise, he completely disappeared after that. Either this guy is a pathological liar or he’s the most disorganized businessman I’ve ever dealt with. Neither possibility is good for catering your wedding. Trust the other negative reviews here—look elsewhere and save yourself the headache.

Farm to Fire by Hudson Valley BBQ is simply the best. The food is absolutely amazing, but what makes it even better is the experience that you and your guest will have. Chef Brandon really listens to his clients and customizes the menu to your experience. I never thought comfort food could be so classy and well done. Several of the guest commented that this was the best food they’ve ever had at a catered event. I’m so glad that I listen to all the recommendations from others. Seriously. Give them a call. You won’t regret it.

The Farm to Fire Team catered my daughter's wedding last year. From the start, the experience was just fantastic.We spent a lot of time customizing the menu and Brandon was so accommodating.No stone was left unturned during the planning process. It took a lot of stress off our plate, so to say!We had so much fun the day of the wedding.The cooking equipment was so fun to see and the foodturned out absolutely delicious.Every piece of the day was just perfect.Brandon became a friend to all of us and wecould not recommend their services enough.
