Our approach to Catering

We take a holistic approach to our catering services. From the big picture right down to the smallest detail, we work closely with planners, venues, and other vendors to ensure that every event goes off without a hitch.

our guiding PRINCIPLES

We are Meticulous

We don’t just put food on the table. We consider every single aspect of your event to make sure that it’s an experience worth cherishing. For over a decade, we’ve been constantly improving this process. And if anyone is our worst critic, it’s us.

We are Creative

There’s no event that we haven’t been ready to tackle. Whether it’s something traditional or completely outside the box, we approach every event as a unique challenge. Let’s just say we don’t need cutters for our cookies.

We are Genuine

To us, you are anything but a number. When you work with our skilled, passionate team, we treat you like one of our own and make sure your event goes off without a hitch.

Caterers Who Invest
in Ottawa

We love Ottawa, and we’re not afraid to say it. Some of our national competitors tend to treat their venues and events as numbers. For us, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

We’re immensely proud to be the first private business to hold all the contracts for federally-owned museums and galleries in downtown Ottawa. We don’t take that privilege lightly, and will continue to hire and buy local, give back, and expand thoughtfully for the benefit of everyone in the region.

SKILLED STAFF—Positive and diverse ATMOSPHERE

Heralding from around the globe, our staff of over 50 people combine experience working at some of the top restaurants, resorts, and hotels in the world, with diverse backgrounds of age, gender, and ethnicities. It’s a recipe that we’re particularly proud of, as it continues to produce delicious and creative results for our clients.
