2 Little Piggys BBQ and Catering

My sister used 2 Little Piggys for her wedding years ago, so when it was my turn to get married I knew I wanted to follow in her footsteps. Julie, the owner, is one of the best people you’ll ever meet. I can’t say enough how kind, helpful, and thoughtful she is. She is so well versed in all things wedding related, and can offer way more than just catering (she also did our flowers and décor for us). Julie was a huge part of making my day special—she went above and beyond to step in with anything we needed, and was a huge support when we had issues with other vendors. All of the staff she brought were so friendly and kind, all of my guests were so comfortable and happy with the service. The food was out of this world. Typically my husband and I find wedding food to be pretty bland or average, so it was important to us that we have good quality food that the guests would actually enjoy. All of our guests raved about the food, and said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. The décor and flowers were gorgeous—I didn’t give a ton of feedback and trusted Julie to put something gorgeous together and she absolutely delivered. She was always so sweet to work with and had so much patience for my constant emails, questions, and worries. She’s also extremely reasonably priced, it’s crazy the quality she offers for the rates she can provide it at, so please don’t hesitate and book them—between my sister’s wedding and mine we’ve now had two amazing experiences (and we both had very different menus, so Julie can provide amazing food from any style). They seriously are the best!

Julie and her team were amazing every step of the way for our 9/6/24 wedding at The Farm Bakery & Events. She was extremely reachable whenever we needed, and the food was TO DIE FOR. Our guests are still raving about it. The drinks were always flowing. I had zero stress about our caterer for our wedding because I knew Julie would absolutely blow it out of the park- and she did! If you book Julie for your wedding- I can assure you none of your guests are going home hungry! Thank you times a million for everything!

Just had them cater out family BBQ. The food was delicious; the service incredible. I recommend the food highly. The macaroni and cheese went like crazy.

A recent wedding we attended at The Farm in Coopersburg was catered by 2 Little Piggys BBQ. The food was absolutely incredible and over the top delicious!!! We were delighted with the Vegetarian options and they even provided Gluten free options which were all labeled...and outstanding !! The servers were knowledgeable about the entrees and very attentive to everyone's needs. After experiencing this catering service at a wedding at The Farm, I can absolutely recommend their services. They gave 100% with every detail. AND...again fabulous food !!!!!!!!

After several months of being persuaded by the bride and groom not to write a review I was finally told I may as certain situations of our experience still bother the bride’s father.
From what I understand from the bride and groom, the arranging, tasting and contract meetings with the owner Julie were great and they felt quite reassured of their big day. No complaints, felt secure and could not wait for the big day to arrive. Now to discuss the day of.
Certain areas of this event I feel with my background in the Chicago food industry that I am more than qualified to comment on. Others are just from witnessing the general experience of the big day of my brother and his wife.
From the start the crew and Julie herself seemed rushed and somewhat flustered. To their credit they quickly reeled this in although the bar and bartended stayed very far behind the entire time and led to some problems. At one point the father of the bride found out a few ingredients of signature drinks and other standards were not on the bar and could not be made, even though they were requested in the initial meetings. When he approached the bartender and stated it needed to be corrected and it was unacceptable she began to cry and had Julie come over. In front of guest’s, she yelled at and belittled him only to find out the bartender was her daughter. I know what its like to deal with clients but rule of thumb is if they are paying customers, they should be happy customers. This was totally unacceptable no matter what approach he took, especially in front of guests. For being the owner of the company, Julie seemed pulled in many directions, flustered herself and disorganized, as well as a bit overconfident. Word of advice should be that she should be running the event and employing staff to do the work, instead of taking it all on herself. As for the rest of the service, the servers were quick and responsive, but did seem to rush dinner service so they could be done for the evening. Cleanup was thorough and the flow from appetizers to dinner to dessert to reception events was smooth.
As for the food. Appetizers were your run of the mill frozen, then either thawed or fried to finish foods, and cheeses and meats that are typical of catering. No complaints or criticism here as this is a standard of the industry. For being BBQ this is where the problems lie. I have read the reviews from the past and read up on the company and there seems to be a breaking point where it became more catering and less traditional BBQ . The chicken is BBQ only in the sense that at the end it is slathered with sauce and finished on a grill. There is no smoke taste, coloring or rings that set the standard of tradition, and its consistency is that of being baked or steamed. Other meats met the standard of a rushed and probably pellet smoking since there really was no evidence of smoke rings or bark but also had a semi-false smoke flavor. Brisket and pork were also fatty and not trimmed correctly. Sides with dinner were good but also typical of catering, nothing to write home about.
All in all I would say this is more standard catering than traditional BBQ. Customer skills need serious work as the owner should be available at all times to problem solve in a courteous manner than be flustered and high strung. Staffing is an issue as the current employees seem to have to make up for the lack of bodies, and the owner fills many shoes, not allowing for an overhead view of situations. Bottom line, staff appropriately.

Julie and her team were absolutely incredible!!!! From day one she made me feel comfortable and our day was flawless. All our our guests kept telling us how great the food was and they have never eaten so much at a wedding! And the dessert bar was to die for!The 2 little piggy’s staff were so accommodating I didn’t even think about it I needed a drink or anything because they just brought it to me.I highly recommend 2 Little Piggy’s for any event but they made our wedding day perfect!

I used 2 Little Piggy’s catering for my 2022 wedding and have debated leaving an honest review ever since but I think it’s important. We got married at a venue with preferred caterers and this was one of them. If I knew what I knew now, I never would have went through with them.They were recommended to us as a vegan friendly option and the food was actually so good and the reason for the two stars. I ordered vegan cheesesteaks for one of my dishes and I was truly so impressed by the quality, so that was great! My non-vegan guests also loved the food so there was no complaints on taste.Unfortunately, Julie is quite abrasive and unresponsive. I was planning my wedding from across the country and was scolded for being impatient when I followed up 3 times in 6 weeks. I could not get this woman to respond to me to save my life. Because of this, there was SO much miscommunication. I repeatedly asked what I needed to provide and never received answers, or I would get a one sentence reply with little explanation. On the phone she would cut me off if I had questions. At the tasting, my family said she was rude. I was the chilliest bride and made so many excuses for her but they were right!Come wedding day, this woman had the audacity to storm into my bridal suite mid-makeup and talk down to me like a toddler for not having enough cups. My bridal party, MUA and hairstylist were in shock and disgust. I can’t even describe how mean she was - I felt like a toddler! If she was that worried about cups as a professional, she should handle it herself and charge me later. Go away. Literally yelling in my face an hour before I walked down the aisle. Insane behavior and I am still in shock that she did that. Thankfully I’m not easily intimidated, but the fact that I had to tell the venue to ensure the caterer does not speak to me the rest of the day is shocking. She did leave and then the head server she left in her place was rude as hell to me and my guests during the reception. My guests actually rave about my wedding and yet someone always manages to bring up the “mean chef lady” - that’s embarrassing for me and should be for them too.I did eventually complain to my VENUE. The venue themselves were incredibly nice and apologetic and I am so grateful to them. But I never got an apology or acknowledgment from the caterers.I’m grateful this didn’t come close to ruining my wedding, but I deeply regret giving these people my money. I worked with so many vendors for our day and this is the only one I had a negative thing to say about. I hope 2 Little Piggy’s chooses to hire someone else to handle their admin in the future because the owners seem to be incapable of doing so without becoming emotional.

2 Little Piggys was on the preferred vendor list from our venue, Durham Hill Farm, and they were highly recommended personally by the coordinator. I’m so glad we listened to that recommendation. I loved Julie from the very first email. Not only are her prices incredibly fair when it comes to wedding catering, but she is SO willing to do ANYTHING you want, even if it’s not on her menu. We jokingly asked about an oyster bar at our tasting, and she said, “Yep! We can do that!” So we did; Julie shucked them herself and they were some of the best we’ve ever had! My one dream for my wedding since I was little was to have pie instead of cake, and she was SO on board when I brought it up to her. I also wanted a “cider bar welcome” with hot and cold cider for guests as they arrived, and she made it happen. She made every personalized detail come to life, and it was all perfect and delicious. We ended up pretty much revamping our entire menu after our tasting because we wanted a different vibe, and we have zero regrets about going the BBQ route. The food was phenomenal. People loved it. The buffet moved quickly. Her servers were amazing (people keep telling me how attentive, present, and kind they were; we experienced the same as the bride and groom). People never had to wait in long lines at the bar. Julie and her staff even went above and beyond to help clean up our decor after the event. She is an expert at what she does. You can’t go wrong hiring her and her team. Truly couldn’t have asked for better!

We used 2 Little Piggys for our wedding this past August and we could not be more happy with how the day turned out. The team did such an amazing job setting up, being attentive all day, and cleaning up in a flash. We continue to hear amazing remarks about the food and set up. Julie is so kind, easy to work with, and tries so hard to keep your day affordable. Highly recommend to anyone!

We were excited to use this catering company as it was recommended through our venue and had great reviews. Unfortunately, due to Covid and my mother-in-law’s terminal illness we chose to cancel our wedding. We asked Julie with more than a year in advance if there was any way we could have our $500 deposit refunded. She said we could if someone else booked services on our date. (8-7-2021). She told us that no one booked our date therefore we couldn’t get our deposit back. This was a lie as she did have another booking on the date. She pocketed our $500, she said she could give back if the date was booked. We understood that it was a non-refundable deposit but she shouldn’t have told us she’d make an exception and then blatantly lie to us. Fortunately, we cancelled our wedding because my mother-in-law passed away a month to the date before we were to be married. For such a well respected company we expected to receive a little compassion in a difficult time for our family in the midst of a global pandemic. Personally, I didn’t like her attitude from the beginning which should’ve been a red flag. I debated writing this review as I’m not typically someone that writes negative reviews but I think it needs to be known that the owner is dishonest and lacks empathy. Our venue gave us our $7000+ deposit back (which was also non-refundable but they were understanding) not sure why a $500 deposit couldn’t be given back.

I was more then thrilled to have Julie and her staff cater our wedding. Being that both my husband and I are vegan, we didn't give a BBQ catering company much thought....lol. One of my vendors told me to reach out to her because he was more then certain she could accommodate anybodys dietary needs. WELL.....let me tell you. This lady is a godsend and made us the happiest couple on the planet that day with the dishes she curated. Food is so important at a wedding and she exceeded all expectations. Every person I talked to that night raved about the food. She helped us with our bar, linens, tableware, arbor drape, coffee bar ect. She has so much to offer and does her job with so much pride which I absolutely admire. Thanks to Julie and her staff-Abby & Clay

We attended a wedding on 9/24/2023. We received 9 complaints from guests. Prime Rib was cold. The chicken parm was cold and overcooked. Servers were denying folks a 2 nd helping. Servers were rude. Bartender was not putting alcohol in drinks. Bartender mixed drinks behind the bar back facing guests.

We used 2 Little Piggys for our wedding this past weekend. The food was phenomenal! We had quite a few people come up and mention how good the food was. Everyone had plenty to eat, and no one left our wedding hungry!The serving staff was great, constantly on the lookout to see if we (the bride & groom) were in need of anything - food, drinks...we were definitely well taken care of.Julie was great throughout the planning process and handled our last minute questions and changes wonderfully. I would highly recommend her for your catering needs!

We found Julie through the venues preferred caterers and we are SO glad we chose her! The food was beyond delicious and everyone loved it.. a lot of our guests said it was the best wedding food they ever had. Julie was a dream to work with throughout the wedding planning process. Everything was perfection and she was also so beyond attentive to my husband and I on wedding day. There’s nobody I would recommend more than Julie and her team for your wedding day or any party you may throw!
