Micheal and the staff at Bow Valley Gourmet were amazing to work with! Not only was the food amazing, but Micheal provided us with many options for a menu within our budget and he was always available to answer any questions. He was also very flexible with different dietary restrictions, which was amazing as I am severely lactose intolerant. We’d gone with the butternut squash ravioli, and it was a thoughtful touch that the ravioli was heart shaped for the wedding. Our guests loved the taste of the food, and the extra attention to detail that Bow Valley Gourmet provided!
I would strongly recommend Bow Valley Gourmet to anyone who’s looking for wedding catering!

Mike and his team were truly amazing!! The service was second to none, the food was perfect even though the wedding party was late!

I would love to have them make supper everyday for us :)

Michael, the head chef for Bow Valley Gourmet was very informative and responsive to my emails. I really appreciated that he was always willing to answer my questions and work with us to get everything we wanted for our food experience. The food at our wedding was amazing and the presentation was also beautiful, we had a buffet with chicken and prime rib mains. We also has appetizers that were delicious and looked beautiful. We received many compliments regarding the food from our guests. We definitely recommend Bow Valley Gourmet for your catering needs!

Chef Michael and his team at Bow Valley Gourmet catered our wedding in July at the Bill Warren Training Centre. Not only was the food delicious, but the entire staff was professional and attentive. We received so many compliments from our guests about the quality of the food. Chef Michael even gave us a plated option for the two vegan guests we had. Leading up to the wedding was stress free as he was quick to reply to emails and respond to requests. I hope I get the chance to eat Chef Michael's food in the future. Would recommend!

My wife and I recently chose Michael and his team at Bow Valley Gourmet to cater our big day.

Michael was extremely professional in the many conversations and trial meal we had leading up to the wedding. He was a pleasure to deal with and we felt extremely comfortable with him as our caterer in the days leading up to our wedding.

Bow Valley Gourmet did not disappoint, Michael flawlessly delivered a stunning 4 course meal at our wedding. Each dish was beautifully created, plated and served to our guests pleasure. The serving sizes were perfect as well.

If anyone is ever looking for a great meal with fantastic service at their wedding in Alberta I would strongly recommend Michael and his team at Bow Valley Gourmet!

Our Wedding was catered by Bow Valley Gourmet and we could not of asked for anything better.
It started with emails and timely replies from him. The Menus he offered were all within our budget and we could sense his professionalism.
The tasting we had was excellent and the food on the Wedding day was perfectly executed! Chef Michael floated around the room observing his staff. We had many guests compliment us on the food!
The full experience of having a professional caterer and great food is exactly what we wanted. This is what Bow Valley Gourmet delivered. We will recommend everyone to Bow Valley Gourmet, as Chef Michael is a true professional.

Bow Valley Gourmet catered our wedding in October of 2017. Initial meetings with Chef/Owner Michael were positive and we were left with a sense of comfort regarding the meal service at our wedding. At the food tasting we were able to try the main courses but not the cocktail hour appetizers. Overall we were impressed with the tasting / presentation of the food and although the portion sizes were small, Michael assured us there would be significantly more food on the plate at the actual wedding service.

I cannot emphasize how disappointed we were when the food service at the wedding started. It was our mistake in not pursuing to taste the appetizers we had chosen and when they started to come out, each appetizer portion was so small (bordering on petty) that we were left embarrassed in front of our guests. Needless to say we crossed our fingers and hoped the dinner service would make up for it.

The soup and salad course of the main meal service met all the expectations we had after the tasting with Michael, however the main course did not. Tenderloin was chosen by over 80 percent of our guests and Michael did not follow through on his promise to increase the portion size from the initial tasting. I would say there was no more then 10% additional steak on the plate when compared to the tasting. We again left feeling embarrassed which is not a feeling you want on your wedding day.

Lastly, after initial meetings and correspondences with Michael gave us a positive feelings as he worked around our budget, was always willing to help where needed, and showed a general positive attitude. The big day was again a different story, I will cut him some slack as he and his staff seemed very stressed, but the way he treated us and in particular the bride was utterly disrespectful. Interactions with Michael on the wedding day couldn't have been more 180 degrees from the initial meetings.

For these reasons I can not recommend Bow Valley Gourmet / Michael to cater your wedding.
