Hello, I'm new to the forum. I'm looking for barbecue caterers and wedding photographer for a casual lake wedding ceremony at Grider HIll. Someone mentioned Fat Man's Barbecue but the number on the internet is not correct. If anyone has any suggestions for a caterer or wedding photographer, I'd really appreciate it.

Welcome to the forum. We have had a few members get married on Lake Cumberland but I am not sure if they used a professional caterer or photographer. Hopefully some will chime in.

Hubby and I got married back in Pumpkin Creek, 5 yrs or so ago. For a photographer, I used a local photography student. I got the reference from someone on a wedding forum. I do remember though, that the DNR officer from the Albany area has a son who was also an up incoming photographer at that time. Maybe E. Hillman - can help a little more with getting you in touch with him. I don't know his lc.com screen name. I was also referred to Wade Upchurch 606-278-0054. Again not sure if it is still a good contact.

As far as food... I catered my own with help from family. Jamestown marina restaurant will cater, but I think you have to rent their party area. There is the BBQ place in Jamestown (270) 343-2273. Also, the State Dick normally has someone that has a BBQ stand at the Poker Run. Maybe call them and see if SD can put you in contact with their vendor.

Again, these are old contacts, so they may not be a good source anymore. Planning a lake wedding is difficult because there aren't as many resources but I think it was worth the hassle. (:

I've got lots of family in the area, so if you have any other questions let me know.

Thanks Badluck!

I have a friend who has a boat at Grider and he is a photographer. I do not know if he would be interested or not. I can ask him if I knew the date and see and then get you his Number. just let me know.

Thanks for the info everyone. I had found a photographer in Richmond willing to come to Grider, so I booked her last week. Thanks, Brian. I wish I had found you earlier, but hopefully there will be more occasions/ opportunities to get your expertise in the future. I still haven't solved the bbq catering yet. Does anyone know if Sonny's in Somerset caters that far? We are having a casual ceremony for around 30 guests.
