Yesterday was one of those days that reminds us why we love what we do โ and why catering is SO much more than just showing up and cooking. โค๏ธโ๐ฅ๐จโ๐ณ
Actually all summer you mightโve not seen what was going on behind the scenes, we had so many events and so many weddings, most of which werenโt photographed. ๐ฅฑ
What you see as a guest is the finished plate.
What you donโt see is the days and weeks of work leading up to it.
๐ Purchasing and sourcing everything we need
๐ Planning menus, quantities and timelines
๐ช Days of prep, chopping, portioning and organizing
๐ฆ Packing, loading and making sure nothing gets left behind
๐ฝ๏ธ Setting up and preparing for service
๐ฅ Hours of cooking and executing
๐จโ๐ณ Keeping hundreds of plates moving together
๐งผ And eventuallyโฆ cleaning it all up!
Yesterday alone, we plated approximately 500 plates, followed by a late-night poutine station. By the time the last plate was served and everything was packed away, it was a LONG day.
And honestlyโฆ we barely took any photos. ๐
Not because there wasnโt anything worth photographing โ quite the opposite. We were simply too busy doing what we were there to do.
Making sure every guest was fed, every plate went out properly, and the couple had the experience they trusted us to deliver.
So this post is a little glimpse into the part of catering that usually happens behind the scenes.
From the first shopping list to the last plate โ there is a LOT that goes into making a wedding dinner look effortless.
And thatโs exactly how we like it. โค๏ธ

Big days. Big prep. Big plates. And a whole lot of love behind them. ๐ง๐จโ๐ณโค๏ธ
Weโve got a few more events and weddings to end this crazy weddings season, but we want to do is say a big thank you to all the brides and grooms and families who chose us, we will continue to show up, tired or not, you can count on us.
If weโve taken forever to get back to you via message and email, have no fear, weโve allotted some time in the next week or two, to do just that.
Cheers to the 2026 wedding season, what a whirlwind it has been ๐
