Yesterday was one of those days that reminds us why we love what we do — and why catering is SO much more than just showing up and cooking. ❤️🔥👨🍳
Actually all summer you might’ve not seen what was going on behind the scenes, we had so many events and so many weddings, most of which weren’t photographed. 🥱
What you see as a guest is the finished plate.
What you don’t see is the days and weeks of work leading up to it.
🛒 Purchasing and sourcing everything we need
📋 Planning menus, quantities and timelines
🔪 Days of prep, chopping, portioning and organizing
📦 Packing, loading and making sure nothing gets left behind
🍽️ Setting up and preparing for service
🔥 Hours of cooking and executing
👨🍳 Keeping hundreds of plates moving together
🧼 And eventually… 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 honestly… we barely took any photos. 😂
Not because there wasn’t anything worth photographing — 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 — there is a LOT that goes into making a wedding dinner look effortless.
And that’s exactly how we like it. ❤️

Big days. Big prep. Big plates. And a whole lot of love behind them. 🧂👨🍳❤️
We’ve 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 we’ve taken forever to get back to you via message and email, have no fear, we’ve 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 🙂
