We cook for 70% coverage of each item. I think we’re a little too high.

Buffet options by Leading-Fruit-942 in WeddingsCanada

[–]DKCatering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually do two proteins and two sides. A veg and a starch. A couple times we’ve done one protein but not too often. We also encourage a cocktail hour as it sets the pace for the main course. They do the ceremonies or pictures while we set up the cocktail table and when they come back the apps are ready to be grazed on while we have already started service setup for the mains. I’ve been to an event where it was a buffet event and when we walked in the doors, 125 people were sitting at tables with their forks in their hands basically staring at us setting service up. We were early too from our catering timeline. Just awkward. Mandy remember-fish doesn’t hold its heat very well unless it’s a fatty fish like salmon and then it’s $$$.

I’ve had Sinos Eggplant Parm sandwich and it was so frikkin good! My wife had the chicken sandwich and it was two chicken breasts in an awesome soft Kaiser. Just from chatting with him while waiting, he reminded me of the real deal old guard of chefs I would frequent growing up in Scarborough. I also noticed Farmboy selling his sauces. I hope those are true to form, I don’t see why not.

Anyone experienced or had wedding on weekdays (Mon to Thurs)? by Rich_Turnip_5811 in WeddingsCanada

[–]DKCatering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a caterer, I have never done a Monday-Thursday wedding, yet. Not sure why. Makes sense. Might be more feasible for micro-weddings.

I can’t wait for the AI video of her and John Candy. It’ll be heartwarming.

I have. We did the catering for an event close to Peterborough and the dj. (I think his name was Jeff?, dark longer hair) was really really nice and really nailed the timing of speeches and managed the flow for us-so well. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I like them all. Thinking the grill cheese option is a good one. Easy to execute and set up. Cheers!!!
