Reviews of Simply Divine Catering and Personal Chef Services (Catering)

I wanted to plan something super special for my sister's bachelorette party last weekend and when I reached out to Michelle to plan a girls' night in dinner, I knew right away that I had struck gold. Michelle was incredibly easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions promptly. She was super helpful in making menu suggestions and incredibly accommodating when I needed to make some changes to dishes because I'm a very picky eater. On the day of our event, Michelle was incredibly professional but also super friendly, even offering to take some group photos for us. She was super efficient and did all of the cooking, serving, and clean up (while also pouring some drinks for us along the way!). Michelle's food was so delicious, every course was better than the last! All of her ingredients were super fresh with some produce grown in her own garden. I will be recommending Michelle's services to everyone and anyone and can't wait until I can hire her again for my next dinner party!

Well, it’s not post-pandemic yet but things are finally opening up in Ontario! And good thing, I wanted to have a small dinner party for my wife’s birthday, and it seemed that I could do it without breaking the rules. First thing, find a caterer. An internet search turned up a good number in the St Catharines area but one in particular caught my eye, Simply Divine Catering. I called Michelle and after a brief conversation, I thought I had found the right place. After last Saturday, I knew I had. Michelle and the server, Linda, were wonderful. Friendly, efficient and there when you needed them but not intrusive. The two ladies really added to the party! On to the food, Michelle was extremely helpful with menu planning. And what a menu, delicious appetisers followed by an elegant 4-course meal with fantastic Tuscan rib steak main. Dessert included fruit tarts Michelle made herself. All courses were elegantly presented and crowd-pleasers. When Michelle and Linda departed there was almost no sign there had been a dinner party. Perfect. My only concern with writing this review is that it will become much more difficult to book Michelle’s services! Highly recommended!

Michelle and her team catered my intimate wedding of 14 and everyone loved the food. We had hors d'oeuvres served first and they were amazing, everyone had their own favourites - mine was the wild mushroom tarts! The three course dinner was divine. The food presentation was fantastic. My only regret was not taking a photo of the food. Michelle's prices are very fair, and she really works with you (helps guides you) to choose the menu items. I would highly recommend simply Divine catering for your next private event. If I host another event in the Niagara region I will definitely reach out again.

Michelle was able to make our elopement in St. Catharines the perfect event! Right from the start we were able to choose from an extensive menu for appies, starters and mains. The food was absolutely delicious, with the crab wontons and the lobster bisque as the crowd favourites. All the food was delivered right on time, and every last detail was taken care of from setting the table to clean up. It was exactly the type of hassle free experience we were looking for on our wedding day. I would definitely recommend Simply Divine to anyone looking for great eats and service!

We can’t say enough good things about Michele and the wonderful meal she prepared for us . Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted incredible . Her presentation of each course was excellent and explanation of ingredients was welcomed by all . On a personal level we also found her to be extremely pleasant and enjoyed talking with her . Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone , for any occasion

We had the pleasure of engaged Michelle for our annual couples getaway in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The experience from start to finish was seamless and stress-free. Just what the doctor ordered for a relaxing experience. Michelle was professional but engaging, answered all our questions and helped us select wine pairings from local wineries for the dishes we asked her to prepare. Michelle came well prepared for anything hiccup that may have come up (renting an AirBNB is always a crapshoot when it comes to how well stocked a kitchen is), the food smelled, looked and tasted delicious. Michelle was great company, made us all feel as if we were long time friends and was a great addition to our social evening after such a long time not being able to do that. We'd definitely recommend Michelle for all your catering needs and we'll book her again the next time we're in the region.

We celebrated Christmas early with my in laws and had Michelle come and do a 4 course meal in their home. It was absolutely amazing, she customized our menu, the presentation was beautiful and most important it was absolutely delicious. Michelle was also wonderful to spend time with for the evening. The evening was the highlight of our Christmas vacation. Thank you Michelle!

Our children gifted us the experience of a Chef Prepared gourmet meal in our home. We decided to pick our anniversary and it was a fantastic evening. Michelle is a wonderful person and extremely talented Chef. She was so easy to work with in creating our menu and every course was delicious. Our home never smelled so good before! What an amazing treat to have her come into your home, prepare, cook and completely clean up after this culinary experience. We have recommended her to so many of our friends and family and will be booking with her again soon to celebrate another family member's anniversary!
