Photos by TCV Media.
One of my favorite parts of a wedding (and probably one of your guests’ too!) is the food. For brides planning weddings in the Fulshear, Sealy, Richmond, and Bellville areas, the catering style you choose can completely shape the atmosphere of your celebration—from relaxed and rustic to elevated and elegant.
Below, we’ll explore six popular catering themes, share some of our favorite local caterers, and highlight how Brandt 1910 makes catering run seamlessly with our dedicated servery space and private caterers’ entrance.
1. Seafood & Steak: Elegant Wedding Surf & Turf Dinner
Why choose seafood & steak?
Seafood and steak dinners bring a sense of luxury and sophistication. Surf-and-turf plates, premium steak cuts, seafood towers, grilled shrimp, oysters, and elegant sides always impress guests and fit beautifully in formal receptions.
Favorite caterer:
Pier 36 Seafood & Oyster Bar
Pier 36 is a fantastic local favorite and a preferred partner at Brandt 1910. Their team knows the flow of our venue and is often featured in our all-inclusive wedding packages. Their surf-and-turf spreads, flavorful sauces, and service always leave guests raving.
Tips for couples:
- Choose a caterer experienced in seafood safety and freshness.
- Offer guests a choice between steak, fish, or vegetarian entrées.
Pair your plates with herb butter, grilled vegetables, and creamy risottos for balance.
2. BBQ & Smoked Meats: Texas-Style Comfort for Your Fulshear Wedding
Why choose BBQ?
Nothing says Texas celebration like BBQ. Smoked brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and savory sides deliver that comforting, down-home feel—perfect for rustic or outdoor weddings with a warm, relaxed vibe.
Favorite caterer:
Daddy Duncan’s BBQ
Based in Katy, Daddy Duncan’s is known for their mobile pit setups and mouth-watering brisket, house-made sides, and crowd-pleasing desserts. Their smokehouse aroma alone sets the mood for a fun, flavorful celebration.
Tips for couples:
- Ask about on-site smoking vs. pre-smoked meats—it can affect setup and timing.
- Include vegetarian BBQ options like smoked tofu or grilled portobellos.
- Don’t skip the classics: baked beans, coleslaw, mac & cheese, and cornbread.
3. Breakfast / Brunch-Style Wedding Catering
Why choose breakfast or brunch?
Morning and midday weddings are trending—and for good reason! A brunch reception feels bright, cozy, and intimate. Guests love creative omelets, chicken-and-waffles, avocado toast bars, and mimosas served alongside coffee and pastries.
Favorite caterer:
Humble Grounds (Fulshear) creates incredible breakfast and brunch menus, featuring freshly baked pastries, gourmet eggs, and artisan coffee. Their presentation feels upscale but approachable, perfect for morning weddings or post-ceremony brunches.
Tips for couples:
- Balance savory and sweet—think quiche, eggs Benedict, fruit, and French toast.
- Elevate the experience with a signature mimosa or bellini bar—easily added to your Brandt 1910 open bar service.
- Brunch weddings typically end earlier, so plan fun transitions like a post-brunch send-off or afternoon cocktail mixer.
4. Heavy Hors d’Oeuvres / Cocktail Wedding Reception
At Brandt 1910, you can wear heels confidently — no sinking in the grass! The garden features artificial turf, which means your shoes stay clean and stable. Try block heels, wedges, or chic booties for comfort and style.
5. Mexican / Tex-Mex / Latin Catering for Your Wedding
Why choose Mexican or Latin cuisine?
Vibrant flavors, family-style serving, and colorful displays create a festive, crowd-pleasing vibe. From fajita and taco bars to empanadas and street corn, it’s a flavor-packed way to celebrate Texas roots with flair.
Favorite caterers:
Churrascos, Marini’s Empanada Kitchen, and Ferso’s Catering (Richmond) all offer phenomenal Latin-inspired menus with professional service that scales perfectly for weddings.
Tips for couples:
- Offer several protein options—chicken, beef, fish, and vegetarian.
- Include fan-favorite sides like Mexican rice, black beans, and esquites (street corn).
End on a sweet note with churros, tres leches cake, or mini flans.
6. Italian / Tuscan Feast
Why choose Italian?
Italian cuisine embodies romance and togetherness—pasta, risotto, antipasti spreads, caprese salad, and tiramisu evoke comfort and elegance. It’s timeless and beloved by all ages.
Favorite caterer:
Adriatic Café offers authentic, budget-friendly Italian catering with flavor that rivals fine dining. Their pastas, sauces, and family-style service work beautifully for weddings of any size.
Tips for couples:
- Offer pasta and protein pairings like chicken piccata or salmon pesto.
- Begin with antipasti platters—cheeses, olives, and crostini.
End with an indulgent dessert trio: tiramisu, panna cotta, and cannoli.
Why Catering at Brandt 1910 Works Flawlessly
You might wonder, “Can I really bring in any caterer and have it run smoothly?”
The answer is a confident yes—and here’s why Brandt 1910 is built for it.
Dedicated Servery Space
Your caterer will have a staging area that’s both spacious and hidden from view—ideal for plating, organizing food lines, and maintaining temperature control without cluttering your event space.
Defined Caterers’ Entrance
Vendors and staff can enter directly through a private access point connected to the servery. That means no back-of-house movement through guest areas and a smoother, more elegant flow.
Preferred Vendor Relationships
While you can bring your own caterer (as long as they’re licensed and insured), Brandt 1910 already partners with exceptional local teams—like Pier 36—who know our setup, timing, and expectations.
Indoor / Outdoor Flow
Our ballroom and garden connect seamlessly, allowing caterers to move effortlessly between cocktail hour outside and dinner service inside. No guest interruptions, no logistical stress—just effortless transitions.
All-Inclusive Packages
For couples who prefer simplicity, our all-inclusive wedding packages cover catering, DJ, photography, setup, teardown, and more. It’s ideal for busy couples who want everything streamlined and cohesive.
On-Site Coordination
Our experienced venue attendant works directly with your catering team to ensure food timing, layout, and service align with your timeline—so everything feels effortless for you and your guests.
