Amazing Wedding Catering!

Catering by John Lowe provided the catering for our 120 person wedding this last weekend and we are absolutely thrilled that we used them! They made the entire process seamless for us from the tasting to choosing our menu, and helping us to plan the set-up and flow of the reception. The food was outstanding! Our guests could not stop raving about it! We also had our own personal server to bring us apps and deliver our dinner from the buffet. She was so sweet and helpful. All of the servers were friendly and happy. On top of all of this, we were able to enjoy leftovers that they packaged for us the next day! This was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day!

Hire Chef John and his team immediately!!!!!

My husband, our guests, and I cannot recommend them enough. We found Catering by John Lowe through a recommended vendors list from our venue; from the start, the communication was quick, informative, and kind. When my husband and I met with them for a sample meal, we were blown away by the professionalism, quality, and genuine enthusiasm from Chef John, his family, and team. The team worked with us on choosing our menu and bartending services and were so flexible with changes made before our deadline. They gave us suggestions and support throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, we were amazed at the beautiful displays for cocktail hour and desserts, the delicious meals, and the kindness that each and every employee displayed. We had guests coming up to us to not only compliment the food, but also to tell us how it was so pleasurable to have servers and bartenders who genuinely wanted to ensure the guests were having a good time. Working with Chef John and his whole team was truly a dream come true! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire Catering by John Lowe :)

Amazing from the start!

We just booked John Lowe catering for our wedding in August of 2023 and we could not be more excited!! Out of 8 caterers contacted they were the ONLY caterer who provided us with a tasting before booking! We had no idea what to expect with the tasting, but boy were we blow away! Chef John provided us with a plethora of food and cocktails and even packed up the leftovers for us to take home! Him and his wife Susan were the most genuine and kind-hearted people and made the entire experience feel like we were dining with family. It was a no-brainer for my fiancé and I to book with them. We are so thrilled to have their team with us on our wedding day and we cannot wait to taste more of Chef John’s DELICIOUS food!!
