BEST Food and BEST Services!!!!!

I have no idea where to start! From the beginning of this process, we only needed to do one tasting and knew John Lowe was the food we wanted for our big day. They were seriously the most kind, friendly and family-like company I have ever worked with. As soon as our ceremony was done, they jumped right into business and made sure everything and everyone was taken care of. We got so many compliments on how friendly, happy and on the ball the staff was all night long. The food was to die for and we are still raving about it!!!! Not only was there plenty of food to go around but we even had left overs to take home. I would recommend John Lowe's over and over and over again. Very happy with how everything turned out. John even made the effort to say goodbye to us at the end of the night which was so kind and personable :)

Love is Sweet!

John Lowe and his team are amazing! At both the tasting and the wedding you will be served a bounty of delicious food! No one will go hungry, but it's hard to not want more just because it's so flavorful! The passed hors d'oeuvres were especially fun and unique, with so many to choose from! We loved being able to serve a special lemonade during cocktail hour too! The team made sure to keep the bride and groom well fed and hydrated during photos and cocktail hour, where we never missed a bite or sip of our special selections! Similarly, we were served first during the reception and got to enjoy our meals before mingling with guests while they enjoyed theirs :) Every team member was kind, and made sure to take care of everyone and every plate with grace and ease! Through the planning process they were also prompt with communication and they worked well with our request to set up and serve drinks from a goblet glass rental for our table service as well! They make sure every detail is perfect!

Had an idea for wedding reception and John Lowe did it exactly as we had hoped

We wanted to include some local food Phila food items, like soft pretzels, a hoagie dip, and water ice for the benefit of the grooms out of town family. These items were incorporated into a really nice selection of "grazing" items that allowed us to meet all the guests' tastes and dietary restrictions. The serving staff was gracious and very efficient in setting up and clearing out
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
