Not only is Smoke Signals an amazing restaurant, but it’s also a much sought-after wedding venue that specializes in helping couples create a magical lakeside experience with a variety of options. For example, you can start with your ceremony on the lawn at the water's edge, followed by cocktails and appetizers on The Deck, dinner in the Main Dining Room, dessert and coffee service in the Lake View Room, and dancing in the Music Hall. 

Or you can host your wedding in one of these event spaces with catering right here on-site, where you'll have everything you need all in one place for your big day.  With the Music Hall, you'll have plenty of room for all your guests and dancing! The space can seat 150 guests for dinner and 250 for a standing reception. Plus, there’s a large stage, perfect for live music or a DJ. 

The Lake View room will wow your guests with its stunning views of Mirror Lake and the surrounding High Peaks. This space can accommodate up to 40 guests for a seated dinner and up to 50 for a cocktail-style reception. 

If you choose a different venue, Smoke Signals can take their catering expertise on the road and create a menu for your off-site event without sacrificing style or taste! Off-premise catering is available for locations within an hour and a half of Lake Placid. Smoke Signals provides staffing, chafing dishes, and serving utensils; you can also add bar service.

Catering to Fit Your Budget? No Problem.

Setting your catering budget before designing your menu will help you stay on track. Then, as you plan your menu, having a budget will help guide your decisions and still wow your guests with a fantastic meal. Smoke Signals can help you create a memorable experience with wedding catering that's as delicious as it is meaningful on any budget. 

Smoke Signals offers different options to fit different budgets, so they’ll work with you to create a menu you love at a price you can afford. You’ll also want to consider other factors that impact catering costs, including the number of guests, the type of service, the types of dishes you choose, and bar options. Talk with the catering team to explore your options. 

Flexibility to Create the Wedding of Your Dreams

One of the best things about Smoke Signals is their flexibility. They understand that every wedding is unique and are willing to work with you to create a menu that fits your story. They can accommodate special dietary needs and are happy to incorporate your favorite dishes into the menu. They’ll also work with you to determine the best serving style for your event: a casual backyard barbecue, a formal sit-down dinner, or somewhere in between.

Smoke Signals is known for its barbecue with meats that are smoked in-house. If you love traditional barbecue, then a classic barbecue menu is a great option. Add meats like smoked beef brisket, pulled pork, and smoked chicken. The menu also includes sides like pork belly truffle mac and cheese, coleslaw, and garlic mashed potatoes.

But barbecue is just the beginning. Have you heard about the latest trend in wedding catering? You need to check out serving stations! They’re a lot less formal than a buffet, and it gives you a chance to build your meal around different interactive stations of food with different themes.  You could build a sliders station, a carving station, or even a beer and food flight station. Be sure to ask Smoke Signal’s catering team for a list of station ideas.

Amazing Food for an Amazing Day

When you choose Smoke Signals for your wedding catering, you'll have access to a flexible menu that lets you customize your wedding experience and your service style to fit you. If you want vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options, Smoke Signals can craft unique dishes, so there’s something for everyone. With offerings like vegetable enchiladas and grilled tofu pineapple skewers, your vegetarian dishes will be as decadent and tasty as your meat options. 

In addition to their delicious food and exceptional service, Smoke Signals is also an eco-friendly choice. They use compostable plates and utensils and are committed to reducing waste. They also specialize in locally-sourced food so that you can feel good about your menu supporting local farmers and producers with fresh seasonal ingredients. And you'll have plenty of delicious options to round out your wedding catering menu.

The Catering Team Is Fun and Easy to Work With.

But Smoke Signals isn’t just about the food. They also offer exceptional service. Their professional and experienced team will work with you to create a catering plan that fits your needs and budget.
