Why Our Wedding Tastings Are Everyone’s Favorite Part of the Planning Process

When couples book their wedding with Catering by John Lowe, they’re not just choosing a menu—they’re

choosing an experience. And that experience starts with one unforgettable event: the tasting.

Our complimentary wedding tastings are a private chef experience designed to give you more than just a sample. You’ll be seated, welcomed like family, and served course after course of thoughtfully prepared dishes, all tailored to your tastes, preferences, and dreams for your big day. As one couple put it: “We ate like kings and felt we were treated like family.”

From the moment Chef John greets you—often with a “Y’all hungry? Because I’m going to feed y’all, so get ready”—you’ll know you’re in good hands. Our couples are served a bounty of food (and yes, you’ll take leftovers home), carefully crafted to reflect the couple’s vision. Whether you're dreaming of upscale comfort food, Latin-Caribbean fusion, or elegant vegetarian fare, Chef John and Sue Lowe are ready to listen, guide, and deliver something remarkable.

A Tasting Worth Talking About

It’s no surprise that 9 out of 10 couples book on the spot after their tasting. Why? Because the food is that good—and the experience is even better.

Here’s what recent couples had to say:

“The food tasting was our favorite part of the planning process, and they even made that feel extra special.” “I was nervous about whether the food would satisfy our Caribbean and Latin guests, but everyone raved about how flavorful and well-seasoned everything was.” “The initial tasting was phenomenal—so much food for just two people, and every bite was amazing.”

But it’s not just about the food (even though it's always delicious). It’s about hospitality, trust, and making sure you know exactly what you’re getting on your wedding day: generous portions, unforgettable flavor, and a team that’s fully invested in making your day perfect.

A Smart Choice in a Shifting Economy

We understand that every couple has a budget, especially in today’s unpredictable economy. While our services reflect the quality and professionalism of a high-end caterer, we also believe in transparency, generosity, and making sure you get real value for every dollar. Our tastings are one way we show that—we’re confident enough in what we do to let the food speak for itself, before you ever sign on the dotted line.
