    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.

    Rave reviews

    Everyone has said that the food at our wedding was the most memorable. We were given much more than we expected as far as quality, service, and friendliness. Could not recommend more!

    Amazingly easy experience

    We used Bayou Bluegrass for our wedding and rehearsal dinner and it was such a hit! The food was AMAZING and the service was spot on. Our friends and family were seriously impressed with the food! They even surprised us the day of our wedding and threw in a couple of side dishes that we didn’t order. Allison was in contact the week before the wedding to finalize details, which eased my stress a ton. I ended up adjusting the guest count the week of and adding on an extra hour to the bar which was no problem at all. The bartender and drinks were awesome as well! You have to get in and check out one of their tasting events. 10/10 recommend!!

    Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy to hear Allison was able to help ease the stress of your big day!

    Our wedding food was AMAZING!

    Dana and her team were so easy to work with, and they provided excellent catering services for our wedding in Lexington! The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were fantastic, and the service was great. The entire planning process with Bayou was easy and the tasting was super helpful, too. Overall, Bayou is fabulous and I couldn't recommend them enough to cater your big day!

    Best food ever!

    The Bayou Bluegrass catering team was perfect! The food is absolutely amazing, and they made adjustments for me when needed! working with them was very easy and non-stressful, they handled everything in a professional way and provided great food and table placements for our wedding. They even found a "ranch fountain" for me to use at the wedding which was very important to me! I would give them many more stars if possible!

    Clean plates all around!

    Allison was very helpful throughout the whole planning process, she was easy to get a hold of and always would respond in a timely manner. We were unable to attend a group tasting due to our schedules, but she set up an individual tasting for us to try the food and set our wedding day menu. We were thrilled with the amount of options we had for our plated meal. They were prepped and set up the day before and had an excellent and friendly staff of waiters and waitresses. Our wedding guests absolutely devoured their food, no joke, many said that was the best wedding meal they had ever had. We served the tri-tip, marinated chicken breast, the twice baked potato and green beans. Seriously, Bayou Bluegrass knocked this one out of the park. Thank you Allison for all of your help.

    So good!!!

    Shana was so easy to work with and the food was AMAZING! We went with the all inclusive option and it was totally worth the price with how delicious the food was. The crab cakes and fried catfish were guest favorites. I can’t forget to mention how professional and courteous the staff was which added to the overall perfect experience. I can’t recommend Bayou Bluegrass enough!

    Best catering company ever!!

    This team was the best!! They made sure everything was planned out smoothly and allowed us to come in for two tastings to determine what we wanted to serve at our rehearsal and reception! On our wedding day they constantly made sure we were okay and had enough food!

    Incredible!

    The food that Bayou Bluegrass was amazing from our rehearsal dinner to our wedding! Due to COVID and living out of town we were not able to do any tastings before our events and they blew us out of the water. Every single guest raves about the food and some went back for seconds! They are a great company to work with and will accommodate in any way possible!

    Highly Recommend Bayou Bluegrass!

    Bayou Bluegrass took the stress out of everything related to the food. Shanna and Abbie were truly so helpful. Their menu choices are extensive and we selected the perfect assortment for our wedding at Talon winery. We would definitely recommend and hope to use them for a party in the future! Outstanding!

    Delicious!

    The food was nothing less of exceptional! After a long, but exciting and perfect wedding day, getting to enjoy such a tasty meal was wonderful! Everyone enjoyed the turkey and Cajun mayo as well as the brussel sprouts. We would love to use Bayou Bluegrass for another event :)

    Hallmark Christmas Wedding

    The food was absolutely delicious. We went with the Tuscany chicken, tri-tip, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, salad and rolls. All of our guests kept telling us how much they enjoyed it, and even asked if we could get them the recipes LOL. Can’t say enough nice things about the food!

    We worked with Shanna and had a wonderful experience, both leading up to the wedding and on our wedding day. She and her team did an amazing job. The food was delicious too! We did all Cajun food and received several compliments from our guests saying it was the best food they’d had at a wedding.

    Delicious food and Great Hospitality

    Bayou Bluegrass provided the catering services for both the rehearsal dinner and the reception, and the food was delicious! Many guests commented about how much they enjoyed the food on both evenings. Bayou Bluegrass was also very easy to communicate with. We would recommend their catering services to everyone!

    Wonderful!

    Everything we experienced from the initial meeting to final wedding day festivities was beyond wonderful! Shanna put us at ease from the beginning and we knew we had chosen a great professional and courteous company to cater our daughter’s wedding. She was flexible with working out the details with us. We only have one daughter so we had no experience in this area and wanted this day to be memorable for her and the guests. Bayou did NOT disappoint! They were wonderful! Highly highly recommend and would definitely use them again should we ever need a caterer.

    Amazing food and service

    Bayou Bluegrass was everything I could have wanted from a caterer and more! From the initial meeting with Shanna, to the AMAZING food tasting we went to, to our wedding day, I had the most wonderful experience with them. The food tasting we went to was unlike anything I had been to before. They do group tastings and have different buffet stations with a little bit of everything to try from entree options, sides, pasta bar, taco bar, bite size station and a carving station. They even had an open bar with signature drinks, which was just the cutest touch. This gave is such a variety to choose from and opened us up to something different for our wedding. The entire planning process with them was amazing. We did not get married on their site and they were so open to meeting us at our venue out of town, face-timing us when we needed help, and responding so quickly when we had questions. Then there was the food at the wedding..... OMG!! We did the Italian buffet with chicken Alfredo and lasagna. We have never gotten so many compliments! The service was terrific making sure water glasses were filled and empty plates were thrown away. When we returned from our honeymoon and saw everyone for the first time after our wedding, the food was THE NUMBER ONE compliment we received back from our guest. I could eat their chicken alfredo for days! You wont regret booking BBC for your wedding/event!

    Amazing Top to Bottom!

    We set up meetings with a few caterers in the area. One of them we knew would be a tasting that we were charged over $100 for. It was okay, if not a bit stodgy, and they didn't even let us keep any of the food. Our meeting with Bayou Bluegrass was just supposed to be a sit-down to talk through initial details and needs, and instantly Shanna made us comfortable and gained our trust without even trying. She was so relaxed and knew exactly where we were coming from for everything, and her confidence was unbelievably comforting. Not only that, she even let us taste some of the dishes they were making back in the kitchen that afternoon, and everything was absolutely delicious. The mac'n'cheese was so good that we decided to do an entire mac'n'cheese station at our reception and it was a smash hit. All of the food was delicious and timely and the right temperature, and Shanna was on top of everything. We didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day of, and even in the months leading up she answered all our questions promptly and changed our proposal a thousand times without complaining, which she definitely had every right to do given how many emails we sent. She was amazing, the food was amazing, and it was still less expensive than the place that charged us for the sub-par tasting. All around a wonderful experience!

    Beautiful Kentucky Wedding

    We worked with Shanna and no words can express how amazing she was to help with LITERALLY every question that my family and I had. She is extremely good at her job! Also, the food was glorious! All of our guests loved it. We had the fried chicken, Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese, and pulled pork! I recommend all of those!!! You can go wrong with this place!

    Easy to work with and the food tastes great!

    We had such a good experience planning from out-of-state with Shanna. She was able to meet with us in the few days we were actually in town. At our wedding, the food was fantastic - we had a shrimp and grits, brisket, and green beans buffet. We had several people attending, including my husband, with Celiac disease, and they were able to eat everything on the buffet.

    Bayou Bluegrass Catering did a fantastic job with our wedding. The food was ready right on time, the tables, chairs, linens, and tableware were high quality, and the bartender and the entire staff were very professional and a pleasure to work with. Our breakfast for dinner idea was a little unconventional, but they made it exactly how I wanted.

    ERIN MADE MY WEDDING! The food was great, they worked with me on EVERYTHING, and the make sure your day runs smoothly. I am so thankful I used them! Erin recommended vendors for me to use and was so helpful with answering questions for me until the day of the event. She was present for the whole process and I could not have achieved what I did without her!

    Two words: mashed potatoes.

    You can't go wrong with Bayou and Bluegrass catering. They did such a fantastic job with our buffet-style wedding dinner. The flavors tasted familiar, yet were delicious and displayed elegantly, considering the menu was more comfort-based. Our guests were VERY complimentary of the food (BBQ chicken, panko-crusted chicken with salad, ranch dressing and balsamic vinaigrette, carrots, mashed potatoes, and green beans), which was most important to us!

    Speaking in terms of responsiveness, my mother was able to directly communicate with the chef before finalizing the menu. Bayou and Bluegrass also sliced and plated our cake gratis! Sometimes it may feel like you're nickel and dimed for every little service, but Bayou and Bluegrass was very affordable, flexible, reasonable and (most importantly) delicious! I highly recommend a tasting to see for yourself.

    I had my reception at the Round Barn at Red Mile, catered with Bayou Bluegrass. Everything turned out AMAZING.

    We worked with Shanna Combs to plan everything. She was super flexible and responsive. We changed things on her a million times during the course of the planning and she didn't bat an eye, and took everything in stride. Whenever we wanted to take a last-minute peek at the Round Barn to let my photographer see it, she catered to our needs and let us in and gave us all last-minute reassurances about small details. They also did a fabulous job decorating, and we loved "borrowing" their holiday decorations. It was a perfect, wintery touch!

    During the reception, I was exceptionally pleased. We received tons of complements on the food (lots of people went back for seconds). They also made sure to save plenty of food for my husband and I, which we definitely appreciated! As the bride, I was catered to the whole evening by their staff (they were great about asking me if I needed anything during the evening!) and Erin, the main point-of-contact during the event, was so nice.

    I received so many compliments about the whole evening. All of the vendors worked so well together and the Round Barn is such a charming venue - it's really hard to go wrong. I won't like, it was expensive and we ended up spending way more than we originally planned, but it was 100% worth every penny, especially if you have a larger wedding like ours! (We had 220+ people). I highly recommend them!

    The Red Mile Round Barn was a gorgeous place to have my reception!! The on-site caterer, Bayou Bluegrass Catering, was phenomenal- we had a pig roast that my guests are still raving about! It was truly delicious. They also worked with us to get my favorite varieties of craft beer. The round barn is a wonderful blank canvas- it can be draped and decorated however you prefer- there's plenty of opportunity for personal, decorative touches, but it's simplicity is beautiful as well if that's what you prefer. The highest recommendations!

    I have been to a few wedding in the past and to me the best part is the food, some food was good some was not so good. I am a super picky person. For my reception I wanted something southern and comforting. I am so glad that I decided to go with Bayou Bluegrass Catering, I was absolutely blown away by the food. I recieved so many compliments from my guests about how it was probably the best catering food that they had ever eaten. We had BBQ chicken and Beef Brisket (their signature entree) with mashed potatos, green beans and corn. YUMMY! The staff was super friendly, the owners worked with our budget to get us the best. I will definantely use them again for any catering services that I need

    Absolutely Delicious!

    Shana was amazing to work with while planning our wedding. We used Bayou for both the open bar and the food. The price is extremely fair for the quality of food and service you receive. We choose a paper plane for our signature drink, and everyone raved about it. Everyone at our wedding was racing about all the food from the appetizers to the meal. There was a great selection, and the servers/ bartenders provided first class service!

    If you do not want to worry about the food and bar at your event, we highly recommend using Bayou of the Bluegrass!

    Bayou Bluegrass Catering's reply:

    We are so happy to hear how much you and your guests loved the food and beverages. Thank you again for choosing Bayou Bluegrass Catering!

    Personalized Treatment & Splendid Food!

    Shanna & Trevor were oh so gracious with our schedules, as we were over 7 hours away planning our day. They invited us to a tasting, and answered calls, texts, and emails, even when they were in the midst of their busiest time of the season. Our pictures took a touch longer than planned (shocker) on the day of, but the food still came out piping hot and delicious! Only downside is that my husband and I didn't get to try the bread pudding bar, but we heard it was phenomenal!

    Bayou Bluegrass Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much. WE are so happy that we could help make your big day special! Congratulations again.

    When we initially contracted with the Red Mile a year before the wedding they were in a state of transition with management so there were a few hic-ups at first. However having said that the results were perfect. We had the event at the historic round barn and the food was fantastic, the service excellent and the round barn was decorated beautifully. We were happy we made this the location for the wedding reception for my daughter and would recommend for anyone wanting a unique and beautiful location for a wedding.

    One of the owners, Angie, was absolutely amazing! On the wedding day, she was there and available and really had things moving along smoothly. The venue is beautiful and has everything you could ask for. They are extremely busy, so they may not be able to respond to a phone call or an e-mail right away, but they are definitely worth it. The venue is an older location and has been around for awhile, so the furniture and decorations are not "new", but if you are looking for a great place for your guests to have a great time, have beautiful scenery, awesome food and really experience the Kentucky horse racing tradition, this is the place for you! We really had an amazing experience and it is all thanks to Angie and the staff at Bayou Bluegrass Catering.

    I really enjoyed my wedding at the red mile, the food was good and everyone was helpful. The only thing I didn't like was how expensive it ended up being. They don't tell you before you put down a deposit about all the misc. fees and the huge service fee on top of the 2500$ just to reserve it and the cost of catering. It says that table linens are included but after being told the ones I chose were given to them by a previous bride, they charged me $50 for some reason to use them. It just seemed a little like they were nickel and diming and that added to the stress of planning a wedding. Also the servers were breaking down tables and decorations an hour before we were supposed to be finished and I felt rushed.
    But if you are ok with the price and are prepared to end up paying extra fees you didn't plan for, then I would recommend them.

    Mother of the bride

    Food was delicious and staff were very nice. But when you pay for twenty extra people you would expect that the extra food would be yours but they took it all back.
