Olive Meats Wood is a charcuterie catering company based in Montgomery, Alabama, and Pike Road is one of the communities it regularly serves. The business makes grazing tables, charcuterie boards, curated boxes and handheld cones and boats for gatherings from about 20 guests to 200 or more, including weddings, baby showers, graduation parties, real estate open houses and corporate events.
Picking the Right Setup for Your Event
Not every Pike Road event calls for the same format, and the range of packages Olive Meats Wood offers reflects that. A wedding shower with 40 guests has different needs from a corporate appreciation event for 150, and the setup that works for one might be too large or too informal for the other. Here is how the main options break down.
Basic Package charcuterie boards run $15 to $25 per person with a minimum of 20 guests and include setup. This is a straightforward, well presented option for birthday parties, smaller office gatherings or casual celebrations where the goal is good food without a lot of production.
Premium Package grazing tables start at $30 to $45 per person with a minimum of 30 guests and include setup. These are the larger, styled spreads suited to weddings, wedding showers, cocktail hours and any event where the table itself is part of the presentation.
The Interactive Charcuterie Cart is priced at $12 to $15 per serving with a $500 minimum. On site staff is available at $40 per hour. This format works well for open houses, client appreciation days and corporate events where guests cycle through over a longer period rather than all arriving at once.
The pop up cart has a business sponsored option at $8 to $10 per person, with a two hour minimum and at least 50 cones or boats required. A two hour event for 50 guests runs $400 to $500. This is a practical choice for church events, ministry gatherings or any setting where individual handheld servings are simpler to manage than a shared table.
Online shop boxes are available without a catering minimum: Small Box $60, Medium Grazing Box $120, Large Box $195, and Personal Snack Boxes at $15 each with a minimum order of three. These work for smaller celebrations or as gifts.
None of the catering packages include plates, utensils, napkins or drinks, so those are worth arranging separately before the event. Optional cleanup is priced at $100 for the Basic Package and cart, and $150 for the Premium grazing table.

Working Around Dietary Needs
If guests have dietary restrictions, the team asks that you share those details well in advance. Olive Meats Wood will do its best to accommodate needs when it has enough notice, and in some cases can prepare a separate smaller setup to keep certain items away from the main spread. This is worth raising when you first reach out rather than in the days just before the event.
Fitting Into Your Existing Event Plan
Olive Meats Wood works alongside florists, event planners and other vendors, so if you already have a planner coordinating your Pike Road event, include that information when you get in touch. Tables are customizable, which means the food presentation can be planned around the overall design rather than treated as a separate element. For events with a florist already chosen, mentioning the style and color palette at the quote stage helps the team align the setup with the rest of the room.
The full pricing breakdown is on the event catering pricing guide, and quotes are requested through the form on the website. Booking at least two weeks ahead is recommended; the team will do its best with tighter timelines, so it is always worth reaching out even if your date is close. You can also call directly at (334) 652-1902.
