and not many brides are able to say that!  Your attention to detail as well as the comfort of our
guests was above and beyond what was expected.  We received so many wonderful compliments on your
service- many people appreciated the bartenders especially.  They kept up and accommodated everyone,
even my sister in law who asked for a mojito.  The food was so great and many guests told me they had
never had better food at a wedding. Thank you so much, I would highly recommend you and
Steve to anyone.  The special touches you added with decor and your friendliness to our guests made it seem
like we had our friends helping us, rather than a service.  We truly appreciate everything you did and
are still talking about it!
Thank you so much,
Shoby and Jason Lamb
I just wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you and all
party. Your crew was professional, polite and right on the
mark with the food and service. They arrived on time, set up
and cooked a super spread totally independent of all the last
minute details we were dealing with trying to get things
ready for the start of the party. That aspect alone was a
huge help and one that we really appreciated. The food was
great and the guest were blown away! Your crew kept a close
watch on all the food needs and their clean up and exit was
conducted in a courteous and very smooth manner. They were
truly in tune with the guests and their needs.

As I said, they are true professionals, that I would
recommend to anyone looking to host a great party. Please
pass our thanks on to everyone that helped to make this all
come together. I want to thank you, in particular, for taking
on the booking of our party. Your willingness to work with us
on the date and the effortless planning of all the details
made having this party a truly special event.
Thank you,

Steve and Tammy Holden are amazing! Their
whole team was fantastic. We used them to
cater our rehearsal and wedding, including
rentals and wedding planning. Tammy made our
entire event happen, and Steve was available
the entire year I planned the wedding. There
staff was professional, provided great service
and there was never a line for the bar! The
food was to die for, both nights and at such a
great cost. We did a lot of comparison shopping
and this was not only the best service for the
price, but the best service I have
experienced. I am still in contact with Steve
and Tammy a month after my wedding- I feel I
made two great friends in the process. What a
relief to be a bride who could enjoy every
moment, they made this a What a flawless
wedding we had!

Smokehouse Grill was endlessly patient with me while I ironed out
the details of my guest list and menu. They were on-time,
professional and make some damn fine BBQ. There was waaaayyyy
more food than I paid for, so there was never a risk of running out
provided awesome service!

Dear Steve and staff,
We just had to write to tell you how much we
appreciated your great service in catering our
post rehearsal
dinner in Cambridge MD. Being from south
Carolina we had to arrange all of this by phone
and Internet, so we
really weren't sure just what we would be
getting! We needn't have worried! Your staff
arrived on time,they
were efficient in their set up and so thorough!
You remembered every little detail! The food
was fabulous and
everyone commented on how delicious it all was.
The Generous portions were amazing. The BBQ
was outstanding
and coming from South Carolinians and Georgians
that is a real compliment.
You made our outdoor events really special time
and we wanted to thank you.

Dear Steven,
I wanted to send you an e-mail saying how wonderful the evening of April 3rd went. The food was awesome!
Everyone at the event was very happy with the amount of food and the quality.I was extremely happy with the
staff you sent. The guys were very polite and kept the trays full for the guests. The experience shows on how
well everything was orchestrated. They arrived on time and took over and I was not worried about anything!
I was a little nervous because we did not get a chance to do the taste testing. But that all went away when i
saw the meats and sides prepared. I cannot wait to refer you to many other people.In addition we are now
thinking about doing the event over next year. Thank you again and please extend my thanks to the guys that
were there on the 3rd , They really did an awesome job

everything.  If you ever have someone on the fence about using you all in the future please refer them to me and i will make sure they make the right
decision. Everything was amazing and i cant thank you enough!

Steve and Tammy-
I am so sorry it has taken me three weeks to write this, but I cannot say thank you enough. My wedding was perfect- you guys made it better than
anything we could ever imagine. You were professional and flexible throughout the entire planning process, and your staff, food, and service were
immaculate on the wedding day. Tammy did a wonderful job keeping everything moving and in line, and even called the bus company when there was a
mix up. You guys were dependable, flexible, and amazing- I cannot say enough good things. Please feel free to use my contact information should you
need a reference!
Thank you again for everything, and we will send you some pictures of the final event if you'd like them for your site once we receive them.
Sincerely,
Cory and Patrick

Steve and Tammy,
We just wanted to thank you so much for doing such a phenomenal job on our wedding day. From start to finish you were professional,pleasant and
catered to all of our wishes.It was so much easier going the " ONE STOP SHOP " route with you guys. From our tent ,tables and ceremony set up to the
specific food set up we wanted, you made it easy and stress free. The day of he wedding we were so impressed with the way you and your staff came in
and put everything in place like it was planned from the beginning. The whole process flowed effortlessly. Your entire staff was very professional and
courteous to all of our guests. Everyone has commented several times on how great the food was We will not hesitate to suggest your company for
anyone who is looking for catering, and we will never look any further ourselves.

Thanks again!!!!!

Two words for Smokehouse Grill. Absolutely Perfect! My daughter scheduled her wedding for June 11, 2011. We live on the Chesapeake Bay and
arranged through Tammy and Steve of Smokehouse Grill to cater and provide all services. The tent for 120 went up on June 9th and because of a
severe storm, came down on June 10th. I called Tammy and advised that the tent had collapsed. Tammy's response "Don't worry  we'll make it perfect".
That they did! My daughter's wedding was PERFECT. The food was fantastic - prime rib and crab cakes. EVERY SINGLE guest was absolutely delighted.
Everything was prepared fresh and on-site. Tammy and Steve think of, and take care of, every single detail. I am the mother of a very happy bride.
Thank you Tammy and Steve. See you in four years when Daughter #2 graduates from college!

First of all, YOU ALL FREAKING ROCK.  Steve and Tammy were a joy to work with.  The minute we
walked in the door to inquire about Matapeake, we knew that this was destined to be where we married
and these were the people that would make our visions and culinary dreams come alive!  And did they
ever... Not only did they arrange for the weather to be a sunny 75 degree day with the waves crashing
behind our bridal party as we became man and wife, but the food was perfect as well.  Everything went
off as according to schedule (which Steve also helped us with the timeline).  As I write this, I am still
feasting on the extra pig we had from the wedding that they allowed us to pick up the next day.  I
wouldn't have changed a thing.  What an amazing crew from start to finish.  Photos to follow.  We kind
of miss the phone calls and chats with you all.
Love, Daniel and Hillary Martin

First of all, I would like to compliment your staff that serviced our party on the 27th.  We had just
started eating when the rain came…your guys helped us move all of the food and drinks indoors
while getting soaking wet.  The food was great as well.
will definitely be using your services again as well as recommending you to other Bozzuto
communities.
Thanks again!!
