Thank you for the meal you made for our wedding. You are great to work with and the food was fantastic. We felt blessed to have you and your team for our reception.

We wanted to send a BIG thank you to you and your team for making our
wedding such a delightful and memorable experience!!
From day one of our interaction to you, we were blown away by your
customer service! When I had initially contacted you for pricing and
other options, you responded in less than a day (I am still waiting to
hear back from some of the other caterers I inquired to over a year
ago). When we went to Canmore for our tasting with you, we were so
excited by your menu ideas, creations and talent!! You continued to
impress us with your vendor referrals, follow up, management of the
liquor license, and then of course on our big day! Everything went off
perfectly and people were so impressed with the food!
They say that as long as you have great food and enough alcohol,
people will think your wedding was a success!! It definitely was a
success and we have you to thank for that.
So thanks again for everything you did! You took so much of the
‘worry’ that comes with planning a wedding off of our shoulders. I
only hope that others who live in or plan to get married in Canmore
will have the opportunity to experience “Bow Valley Gourmet”.
Yours very truly,
Micaela and Brad Clark

After doing much research and planning of the catering option available for our wedding taking place in the Bow Valley, we were greatly disillusioned. None of the businesses we contacted were able to meet all our needs. We were even considering doing all the food preparation ourselves until we met Mike Anderson of Bow Valley Gourmet. Mike immediately relieved all our worries with an initial consultation.
Mike was very understanding of how we pictured our wedding reception to be and worked with us in planning all the logistics. He was able to accommodate our budget with multiple options of menus and service. Mike went out of his way to meet with the owners of the venue beforehand and ensure the set-up would be perfect.
During the event Mike provided catering service that was unobtrusive yet essential for the success of our wedding reception. The timing and atmosphere was brilliant, but most importantly the food was phenomenal. We couldn’t have made a better choice of caterers. Bow Valley Gourmet not only catered our wedding, but all our needs.

Mike, thank you so much for cooking the lobster dinner for my boyfriend and I it was delicious and set the celebration mood perfectly. You’re food is amazing!

We were looking forward to a new and exciting culinary experience, and we got it in our very own home! After a busy day, and a busy week – there was nothing better than being met by our own personal chef when our work was done. Our 4 course meal was amazing, and soon after we were finished, Mike was all cleaned up as well! Mike did an excellent job and we definitely recommend having a ‘night out, but stay in’ with Bow Valley Gourmet! You will be glad you did!

Thank you so much for making the birthday party a huge success. The three things that stood out for me:
1. The food. Fabulous, every bite was delicious and there was plenty for everyone.
2. The quiet way you work. I still can’t believe you were cooking in my kitchen because it was like you weren’t there. You have a quiet and elegant way of working that blends so well into the party.
3. The service. You and Michelle were gracious, friendly, light humoured. I continue to hear nothing but praise from my guests about her friendly and attentive way of serving.
Thanks again,
Colleen.

Michael put together a fabulous meal for our 150 person event. His prices were very reasonable, and the food was mouth-watering (the most tender roast ever, we cut it with a fork). And he accompished this on a very tight timeline. I highly recommend him for your event or private dinner.

Chef Michael Anderson of Bow Valley Gourmet surpasses one’s expectations. Chef Mike recently catered our company’s 100th Anniversary for approximately 100 people. Mike and his staff’s expertise and professionalism was of the highest calibre. The food was pleasing to the eye and more pleasing to the palate.
Our highest recommendation is extended to anyone considering the culinary services of Chef Michael Anderson.

Before leaving Vail, Colorado Mike and Sara invited us to an amazing meal at http://mezzalunavail.com/ where Mike was the executive chef. Wow! This guy really knows his stuff and the preparation tasty fare Mike prepared will never be forgotten. Anyone who works with Mike will instantly appreciate his level of professionalism and skill in the culinary arts. It was no mistake Mike was the head of operation at this slope side, successful fine dining establishment. We will attest to Mike’s skills and professionalism and know your event will be a big hit with your guests if you hire Mike.
