Testimonials
"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Smoking Embers for our wedding in July 2024, and we can’t say enough good things about the experience! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our day special, ensuring we had every detail in order—from perfecting the timeline of the day to cooking us a delicious preview of the menu a few weeks before.
We chose a Greek-inspired menu, and every dish was simply exceptional. The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. Our guests have commented about how delicious everything was—some even joked about when we’re getting married again just for the food!
In addition to the incredible flavors, the team was professional, attentive, and focused on every detail, making sure everything ran smoothly so we could relax and fully enjoy our day.
Thank you, Jack and the Smoking Embers team, for creating such an unforgettable culinary experience for us and our guests. If you’re looking for top-notch food and service for any event, we highly recommend them!"
"After hunting through many food options for our wedding, we came across Jack and his team at Smoking Embers. They tailored a menu that suited us and were very kind and generous in adapting to our dietary needs. The Moroccan lamb was heavenly and the vegan tagine was a huge hit! 10/10 would hire again. Thank you!"
