Simply BBQ

Last reviewed: August 2, 2026. Business status: Active.

Simply BBQ provides wedding BBQ catering in Mississauga for couples planning outdoor, backyard, farm and other event-space celebrations in the Greater Toronto Area. The company’s official site describes a full-service approach that includes setup, fresh on-site grilling, staffed service and cleanup, with menus tailored to the couple, venue and dietary requirements.

The official domain matches the Simply BBQ name, Mississauga location and published phone number, and it maintains a dedicated wedding-catering page. The business therefore qualifies as active for this profile. Last reviewed: August 2, 2026.

Services and specialization

Simply BBQ specializes in catered barbecue events and says it has operated since 1997. For weddings, its defining format is food grilled fresh at the event, supported by a team that handles setup, service and cleanup. This differs from food-only delivery and may be useful when couples want cooking and service to form part of the reception experience.

The wedding page says menus can be customized around the couple’s tastes, theme and dietary needs. The wider official menu includes BBQ packages, à la carte selections, appetizers, desserts and several themed food options. Availability of any particular dish, serving format or menu combination should be established in the written wedding quote.

• Fresh on-site grilling
• Setup, staffed service and cleanup
• Customizable wedding menus
• Appetizer and dessert selections
• Event-party rental options

Service area and who it may suit

The company describes its service area as Toronto and the GTA. Its homepage specifically names Mississauga, Toronto, Brampton, North York and Oakville, followed by “and beyond.” Couples outside those named locations should provide the exact venue address when asking about availability, travel charges and logistical requirements.

Simply BBQ may suit couples planning a casual outdoor reception, a backyard wedding, a farm celebration or an event-space wedding where on-site grilling is permitted. It may also be relevant when the hosts want catering and selected rentals coordinated through one supplier. This is a mobile catering service; the published Mississauga address should not be treated as a wedding venue.

• Based in Mississauga
• Services Toronto and the GTA
• Suitable for venues that permit mobile cooking
• Travel terms outside named cities require confirmation

Menus and dietary planning

The official wedding page documents vegetarian options, halal-certified products, gluten-free items and custom meals for allergies or other dietary restrictions. It also says separate grills can be used when required. These are useful planning features, but the wording does not mean that every menu item or the entire operation is automatically halal or gluten-free.

Couples should identify every dietary requirement at the quotation stage and request written confirmation of ingredients, preparation procedures and separation measures. The same applies to severe allergies and cross-contact concerns. Ask how special meals will be labelled and served so guests and venue staff can identify them correctly.

• Vegetarian choices are documented
• Halal-certified products may be included
• Gluten-free items are available
• Custom allergy meals and separate grills may be arranged

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

The clearest documented strength is the combined service model: Simply BBQ brings equipment, sets up, cooks on site, serves and cleans up. Its site also lists tents, tables and chairs among available party rentals. Keeping catering and selected rentals with one supplier may reduce hand-offs, although couples should confirm which rental items are included and which are separately priced.

Several practical details remain quote-dependent. The wedding page does not publish a wedding-specific guest limit, staffing formula, service duration, travel-fee schedule or complete list of standard inclusions. The FAQ also says events operate rain or shine and that rain dates are not offered, although food and BBQ stations are covered. Couples still need a venue-approved shelter and weather plan for guests.

• Confirm venue permission for grills, fuel and cooking equipment
• Ask whether serviceware, beverages, ice and waste removal are included
• Verify rental delivery, setup and collection responsibilities
• Discuss the rain plan before signing

Pricing

Current full wedding catering pricing is not explicitly published. The official appetizer-package page does publish limited pricing: $1,295 for fewer than 75 guests, $21.50 per person for 75–110 guests and $23.50 per person for 111–150 guests. Those figures apply to the described appetizer package, not to a complete wedding meal or reception contract.

The official FAQ separately states that there is no minimum guest count but refers to a $1,500 minimum food-package value before additional fees. The site does not explain how that minimum interacts with the appetizer package’s $1,295 tier. Couples should therefore request a dated, itemized quotation covering food, labour, rentals, travel, taxes, gratuities, overtime and any venue-specific costs rather than relying on the displayed appetizer figures alone.

• Published appetizer package under 75 guests: $1,295
• Published appetizer tier for 75–110 guests: $21.50 per person
• Published appetizer tier for 111–150 guests: $23.50 per person
• Complete wedding pricing requires a custom quote

Contact and booking

Couples can request a quote through the official website or call 905-565-9607. The site also publishes info@simply-bbq.com. A useful initial enquiry should include the wedding date, venue address, estimated guest count, preferred service period, menu ideas, dietary requirements and any tents, tables or chairs being considered.

The official pages do not agree on the exact unit designation at 1365 Midway Boulevard: the homepage and footer show Unit #1, while the contact-page body shows Suite #1,2. Because of that conflict, no address is published in this profile. Confirm the precise unit directly before visiting, sending documents or arranging a pickup.

What couples should confirm

Before paying a deposit, ask for a proposal that identifies the selected menu, quantities, dietary substitutions, staff count, arrival time, cooking period, service window and cleanup responsibilities. The agreement should distinguish catering inclusions from optional rentals and state what the venue must supply, including electricity, water, waste access or a suitable cooking area.

Also confirm availability for the wedding date, the final guest-count deadline, payment schedule, cancellation and rescheduling terms, insurance documentation, travel charges and overtime. For an outdoor wedding, obtain written approval from the venue for on-site grilling and establish a weather plan that covers guests as well as food-service stations.

• Exact menu and serving format
• Dietary preparation and cross-contact procedures
• Minimum spend and all additional charges
• Venue access and on-site cooking approval
• Rain, cancellation and rescheduling terms
• Final-count and payment deadlines
