Couples who held receptions in Bentonville, AR wrote about the brisket
Two Rx Catering NWA couples reviewed their Bentonville wedding receptions on Google, and both named the same two dishes.
April Rose Latigay
"RX Catering did a flawless job with our wedding in Bentonville. They handled everything professionally- from the melt- in-your-mouth brisket to the heavenly banana pudding."
We used Rx Catering for our wedding reception in Bentonville, and I am still dreaming about the Brisket. Feeding 150+ guests can be a nightmare, but they made it affordable and seamless. The guests kept asking who did the catering, especially for that Banana Pudding!

What to ask your Northwest Arkansas venue about outside catering
Each venue sets its own caterer rules, so read them before you book food. Our Northwest Arkansas wedding venues guide lists 20 venues across Bentonville, Fayetteville, Springdale, and the towns around them. Here's what four of them say on their own websites:
- The Ravington in Centerton allows outside caterers that carry liability insurance and follow health codes. Drop-off catering there needs one of the venue's preferred staffing companies for cleanup.
- Osage House in Cave Springs asks every vendor for a current certificate of insurance before entering. All alcohol there is sold through its in-house service.
- The Apollo on Emma in Springdale includes a commercial catering kitchen with full venue rentals, for use by approved caterers.
- Botanical Garden of the Ozarks in Fayetteville lists a caterer-friendly kitchen and builds wedding packages for 10 to 300+ guests.
Send us your venue's caterer rules with your guest count and serving time, and we'll plan the order around them.
