John Lowe catered my wedding this past weekend, and we loved it! Their service staff was phenomenal and made feeding 100 people look effortless. Also, their clerical staff was awesome and made the planning months very very easy. My only negative is that the food we got at the wedding was good, but NOWHERE near as good as the food we got at the tasting (maybe it was naive on our part to expect it would be). Overall, I'd give them 9.5/10, which is pretty good from a picky bride like me. Thanks, John Lowe, for feeding all my loved ones on our special day!

We had the pleasure of working with Catering by John Lowe Over the past several months as we planned our wedding and chose to use them as our caterers. We were impressed by the quality and presentation of their food from the tasting, and left the tasting full to the brim (and with lots of left overs)as well as feeling like family. Our guests at our wedding raved about our buffet course options and the service of the staff throughout the night. No detail was left behind throughout the planning process. They truly are on it and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering using them for any event or wedding. Thanks so much to the entire team!!

We are still getting compliments about the food from our wedding, and it's all thanks to Weddings By Sweet Annie/Catering By John Lowe! From the savory charcuterie during cocktail hour to the wandering french fries during the reception, every single dish was a masterpiece. The quality of the food was exceptional, and the service was impeccable. The staff was professional, friendly, and attentive to every guest's needs, including dietary restrictions and allergies, which they handled with care and efficiency. They even made sure my husband and I were hydrated and well fed throughout the entire evening. They made the entire dining experience feel effortless and luxurious. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a truly outstanding culinary experience!

The first thing Mr John said to us when we met for our tasting was “ are yall hungry? Because I’m going to feed yall so get ready” fed we were.

We had the pleasure of having Catering by John Lowe for our wedding, and overall, the experience was fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious! I was initially a bit nervous about whether it would satisfy our Caribbean and Latin guests, but everyone raved about how flavorful and well-seasoned everything was. The family-style dinner setup at our reception worked beautifully, and the bartenders and kitchen team were amazing throughout the night.

The only hiccup we encountered was with the service at a couple of tables, especially Table 11. Some guests felt that the servers were rushing to clear plates—even while they were still eating. One guest came back from the restroom to find her plate had already been taken, and others mentioned they felt the need to “guard” their meals. A few even asked if the reception was ending early because of how quickly things were being cleared.

That said, the food and bar service were incredible and left a lasting impression on all of our guests. With just a bit more attentiveness to pacing the clearing of tables, it would have been a flawless experience. We truly appreciate the team’s hard work and talent!

Catering by John Lowe is one of the easiest decisions I made for my wedding day! They were dedicated to providing the best experience on the wedding day and staff available to bring appetizers, drinks and any extra food as we needed during cocktail hour and the reception. They went above and beyond my expectations as they also helped order all the linens for the tables, I was amazed at the entire process and am thankful for all they provided. I cannot recommend their services enough, you will not be disappointed!! Thank you so much Catering by John Lowe!!! 🤍

My husband and I chose John Lowe as the caterer for our wedding that took place on May 4, 2025. We could not have asked for anything more from them!

Through out the process of tasting, building the menu, payment, and finalizing details, they were so easy to work with. Their communication and attentiveness made us feel so relaxed and prepared. I never had an issue getting in contact with someone, or getting answers to my questions.

The food... THE FOOD! It was soooo good! Our guests kept going to the buffet for more. The espresso-rubbed pork was to die for, and the beef was cooked perfectly. I could have eaten 100 of the spinach artichoke bites as well. The staff serving, setting up, and bartending were all so sweet, and did everything possible to help make our day perfect.

I highly recommend John Lowe for anyone's event or wedding. I know my husband and I would hire them again in a heartbeat should we ever be looking for a caterer for something.

My husband and I were SO happy that we went with John Lowe for our wedding. Everyone has told us now for months how incredible the food was at our wedding and we totally agree. Their team was so great and professional. Their experience and care really shows. We loved that their team followed us with food and drinks during photos….one of the best selling points! We could not be more happy with the food and how everything turned out. They handled everything and the day ran seamlessly. John Lowe was truly the best to work with. Thanks so much! - The Leiningers

Catering by John Lowe is the best catering service we have ever experienced—let me repeat that, CATERING BY JOHN LOWE IS THE BEST CATERING SERVICE WE HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. From the moment we met them at a wedding event, we knew their food was what we wanted for our wedding! My sister convinced me to ask for pricing for the buffet option, and when I was told their prices, MY JAW DROPPED. I immediately booked a tasting with them, and to this day, my husband says we were treated like kings and queens, and the food was phenomenal! Throughout the planning process, they were easy to email and always checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed for the big day. On the big day, the food was the hot topic of conversation for all of our guests—they were in LOVE!! John Lowe and his team also made sure my husband and I got to have a sampling of everything from the cocktail hour and dinner, which was just so thoughtful of them. If you’re not sure who to trust to create the perfect menu for your day, my husband and I HIGHLY recommend Catering by John Lowe.

I cannot say enough good things about John Lowe and his team. Even before our tasting they had incredible communication and flexibility with us as we were planning our wedding from out of state. During our tasting, my husband, father, and I ate like kings and felt we were treated like family! Every step of the way in our planning, John Lowe’s team was available to answer our questions and were so patient with us. They were incredible working with us on the many dietary restrictions our guests. On the day of, our guests raved about the poached pear mocktails, and quite a few said it was some of the best “wedding food” they’d had! And having Lex assigned to take care of my husband and I throughout the event was a godsend. One of my clearest memories of the day was Lex sneaking my husband hors d'oeuvres between pictures —she had our whole bridal party chuckling. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Recently had thsi company at a wedding and it was hands down the best wedding food I've ever had. Potatoes were well seasoned, chicken was moist. Gluten free options were clearly marked and staff was excellent. Would highly recommend from a guest experience
