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!
