So yummy!

Slows Bar BQ catered our wedding at the Grand Rapids Downtown Market and the food was AMAZING! We all went back for seconds and ate until we were borderline uncomfortably full because we just couldn’t help ourselves! Then, at the end of the night, all the leftovers were boxed up for us to take home and enjoy the next day. I’m still dreaming of their sweet potato mash, and our guests are still talking about how good all the food was!

Delicious!

The food was fantastic and we had guests talking about it days after the wedding. Working with the employees and coordinator was easy and everyone was very helpful! We were even able to accommodate our vegitarrian friends

Slows was a hit!

I was super surprised our wedding venue in Leroy MI hadn't heard of Slows haha, the bbq is famous here at the Detroit location. We had them cater to our big day at ResLes Farms wedding venue and as expected, it was a HIT. No food went to waste! They arrived on time and set up without a hitch. Perfect for a buffet style dinner.
