Amber Welton: My husband hired Open Water Catering for my 40th birthday party and they were amazing! They came up with a great menu of tiny, flavourful dishes and appies that were easy to carry around but way more exciting than anything we were expecting. The best part was they preopred it all in my kitchen and cleaned up afterwards – so worth it!

Sarah Halfkenny: We hired Toque Catering for our original wedding plans due to their incredible care and attention to detail in quoting our event. Unfortunately we were unable to hold our original planned event, and the team was very understanding, working with us to alter, postpone and then finally cancel. We had a fantastic tasting experience with Chef Nicholas and the team, and we hope to work with them again in the future. Thanks again!
