Ann was so easy to work with and so accommodating. I came up from Los Angeles where I live at the last minute and to go into a 14 day quarantine due to Covid-19 pandemic. She kept me well feed, catered to last minute requests and delivered. The food is healthy and she has a wide range of cuisines from around the world from Indian to Mexican as well as vegetarian. Thank you Ann!!
Ann and her team at Occasional Occasions catered our wedding this year and I can truly say that it was far more than just an amazing meal. Occasional Occasions had come very highly recommended to me both by people who had worked with Ann in the past, as well as those who had attended events as guests that Ann had catered.
I put all my trust in Ann and her team and she took it well beyond what I thought possible. She asked about us as a couple, about our guests and about what we had envisioned for our special day. From this she crafted an amazing menu that included appetizers, barbecued salmon, black sesame chicken, potatoes, three of the most amazing fresh late summer salads. For dessert the team prepared the most delicious cheesecake bites. I even asked that Ann make our wedding cake, she incorporated flowers to match our decor and like everything else it tasted amazing and was beautiful. The food was unbelievable and my guests could not stop mentioning throughout the evening, they are still talking about it to this day!
What I want to stress in this review is not just how great the food was, but how amazing the whole experience was. Ann carefully considered the colours, textures and beauty of each dish that was sent to the tables, they looked as if they were plated for a magazine. Ann carefully selected wine pairings for our meal and worked with us to estimate amounts based on our guests needs. James from Occasional Occasions was a fantastic bartender keeping our guests happy late into the evening. Ann considered things that I didn’t even know possible, like the timing of the dishes and order of which they were delivered to the tables. The service from her team was perfectly orchestrated. The entire day went off perfectly thanks to Occasional Occasions and because of this we were able to sit back and enjoy our day.
I can not recommend Ann and her team at Occasional Occasions enough!
Anne and her team were simply amazing. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. Being a celebration of life, sensitivity and discretion were a priority and Anne was so on the ball she took the time to learn about my mother in order to tailor the menu and atmosphere to match. They used their experience to make some contingency plans that came in very handy. They even left food for the family after the celebration of life at no extra charge. Next time I need a catering service I won’t even both asking anyone else. They have my business.
I can not say enough about this business. Our daughter had her wedding in August and they went above and beyond our expectations! The food was simply amazing! Beautifully done, and cooked to absolute perfection.
The food looked good and tasted even better. The bar server was fun and all staff were exceptionally friendly. Thanks for helping make a great party. :)
