Booking a caterer for your wedding in the Kelowna area


Right now many brides are in planning mode for the BIG day… usually after a few weeks to a few months of dating and getting to know each other the fellow finally gets his act together and ask the big question. She say yes, and Congratulation we’re getting married!
Whether it is a Kelowna caterer or a chef attached to a specific venue that accommodate weddings like some wineries or golf courses or whether it is a private catering company doing business all over the Okanagan in other kind of venues. This is the 4 basic questions on what you need to give us in order to get a quote back from your caterer containing all the right information.
When is this wedding?
We need the actual date… we have other bookings and we may or may not be able to help you. Why starting to talk about food if we can’t even agree on a date…

Where is this reception?
It is extremely important to know what location you are considering. Some places may not allow for an outside caterer to come in. It may also be far away and create extra cost.

How many guests at this reception?
Well, catering a wedding for 30 people is way different than a wedding for 250 people. Certain menus and/or locations will not be conducive to larger events.

What do you have in mind for food or what is your budgeted goal?
This is the big question for you… but necessary to allow us to send you the right menu at the right cost.

Without this very important information, we are in the dark trying to find the right pair of socks to match our pants.

It is very simple to find the rigth caterer in Kelowna. Just contact the ones that you think can offer you the kind of food that you are looking for... just like you would chose a restaurant. You don't go to a Chinese restaurant and ask for Mexican food.
Example; if you want a buffet style menu of hearty authentic barbecue food supported by local businesses and producers I am the right chef. If you want a 4 courses plated dinner for 400 people I am not the right chef for this, other caterers in Kelowna can do that for you. I only do plated dinners for smaller groups.
