A Wedding Dinner Your Guests Will Actually Remember
Skip the typical catered wedding meal. Brick & Ember brings our mobile wood-fired ovens directly to your Gainesville wedding venue and cooks fresh, handcrafted pizzas on-site for your guests.
Your guests can watch their pizzas come out of the oven throughout service and return for their favorites with our unlimited dining experience. It's relaxed enough to be fun, while our professional setup and presentation make it perfect for an elegant wedding reception.
## Wood-Fired Pizza Catering for Gainesville Weddings
We provide wedding catering throughout Gainesville, Alachua County, and surrounding North Central Florida communities.
Our mobile setup allows us to cater everything from rustic barn weddings and outdoor receptions to elegant estates and traditional wedding venues. We bring the ovens, staff, serving setup, and everything needed to create the Brick & Ember experience at your venue.
### Fresh Pizza Cooked at Your Wedding
Instead of preparing your food hours before the reception, our team cooks throughout your dining service.
Pizzas are prepared and fired on-site in our wood-burning ovens, then served fresh for your guests to enjoy. Multiple pizza varieties keep coming throughout service, allowing guests to try different combinations and go back for more.
## More Than a Pizza Truck
Brick & Ember isn't simply a food truck that pulls up and sells individual pizzas.
We're a full wedding catering experience designed for large events. Our team handles setup, food preparation, cooking, service, and breakdown while maintaining a polished presentation appropriate for your wedding day.
Depending on your menu, you can pair our wood-fired pizzas with Caesar salad, pasta, wings, appetizers, drinks, and desserts to create a complete reception meal.
## Gainesville Wedding Venues
Our mobile ovens allow us to serve weddings at venues throughout the Gainesville area, including locations where a traditional commercial kitchen may not be available.
We've served and booked events at venues throughout North Central Florida, including Gainesville-area locations such as Gainesville Garden Club.
Already have a venue? Send us the location and guest count, and we'll help determine the best setup for your reception.
## Wedding Catering Without the Dry Chicken
Wedding food doesn't have to feel like wedding food.
Brick & Ember was built around a simple idea: serve guests food they genuinely get excited about while still delivering the organization and presentation expected from a professional wedding caterer.
Wood-fired pizza creates an interactive experience, gives guests plenty of choices, and works especially well for weddings where the couple wants the reception to feel memorable rather than overly formal.
