The Staff, Food, and Cake were incredible

4 Rivers was a no brained when it came to choosing them for our wedding. We wanted something fun, delicious, and beautiful to present to our guests to eat for our wedding and 4 Rivers Catering and Bakery was perfect! Their staff was so kind and helpful during our taste testing and even sent us home with our cakes and frostings so we could taste test at home together.🧁 If you love barbecue, kind people, and sweet cake 4 Rivers is the perfect choice for your wedding.✨

BBQ is the way to go!

We were really excited to see 4Rivers as a preferred vendor at our venue. We worked with Sarah to ensure we had everything we needed for our wedding. She was extremely thorough and guided us through the process with ease. Our guests were raving about the food and some out of town guests even told me they were looking to have some 4Rivers shipped to them out of state. We would hire them again in a heart beat!
