Some people will say that food is one of the most important parts of a wedding. After all, the last thing you want is your guests talking about how terrible the food was. You want them to remember your beautiful night; not the bad dinner experience they had.

With a wide variety of wedding catering options in the Milwaukee area, it may be hard for a couple to choose the right option. Luckily many venues will have a list of preferred caterers to get you started.

If you’re a bride looking for a new catering option, check out Tall Guy and a Grill, 7227 W. North Ave. What started as a tailgate business in 2009 quickly turned into more, opening their first store in East Wauwatosa on July 13, 2013.

As business owner Dan began organizing larger events shortly after starting his business, the company eventually began catering weddings in 2012.

“We love doing outdoor wedding events and catering receptions at scenic places like county parks, people’s houses and traditional wedding halls,” Dan said. “We even did a wedding on a ski hill last year – driving a 16 foot box truck up a ski hill was a pretty nerve racking experience.”

Tall Guy and a Grill also offers bar services; making it a one stop shop for weddings. They’re currently looking into adding more wedding options too, such as day-of box lunches for the bridal party and packaged items for guests of the wedding.

For weddings, Dan promises couples can expect the following:

• Outdoor & unique location catering: regardless of location, Tall Guy and a Grill will adapt to the customer’s needs.
• Local, natural ingredients: they shop local farms and markets for their ingredients.
• Reasonable & affordable costs: they’re dedicated to providing healthier, satisfying, quality comfort food options accessible for any budget.
• Adaptable & easy to work with team: their approach to business and catering style appeals to couples looking for a casual, uncomplicated and fun event experience.

Tall Guy and a Grill also works with couples to plan themed events for bachelor/bachelorette parties and wedding showers. For more information visit their website.
