Shanna and team were AMAZING

Wow is all I can say! Shanna was just absolutely incredible to work with. Her confidence and patience was just what I needed throughout the wedding planning process and day of wedding. She was always willing to work with us, we were constantly going back and forth on things and she was so patient. She was always willing to hop on a call with us no matter what time or day it was. Bayou did our rehearsal and ceremony catering, and I am not exaggerating when I say everything was perfect from the taste of the food to the logistics of both events. Her team was also hard working, pleasant, reassuring, nice, happy, and just overall great to work with. The day of was so stressful, and I remember running into Shanna a couple of times throughout the night and just feeling a sense of relief and happiness seeing her face and feeling her positive, kind energy. I would recommend Bayou to anyone for any event, they were absolutely amazing, and played a huge part in making our wedding weekend so perfect!

So many compliments

Our daughter was married on Saturday and WOW! Bayou Bluegrass knocked it out of the park. I can’t express strongly enough what professionals they are!! Our guests literally raved about how good the food was! The presentation and the quality of our buffet was just perfect. Dana Maloney was a dream to work with on putting together a menu and the table settings. If you are having an event in Lexington or surrounding areas, do yourself a favor and just call them! I will add photos once we get them back.
