What an experience from start to finish! Aram and I had the pleasure of booking culinary conspiracy for our wedding day. Moishe and Derek met with us for the first time to craft a customized menu with delectable tastings including plenty of options for dietary restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free). We had my wife’s parents join us for the first visit only to have Moishe and Derek act extremely professional yet making us laugh over some of the variances in opinion across the table.
Culinary Conspiracy had the unfortunate first encounter and partnership with a rental/labour vendor that introduced us. This vendor did no show up on the day leaving both CC and us short staffed and in the dark as far as next steps. Moishe and Derek being the reputable and honourable men that they are delivered above and beyond expectations. They pulled through with extra rentals that the other vendor failed to deliver. The meal they provided for our 100+ guest was plated beautifully, hot and seasoned exquisitely. They were faced with many challenges including space between tables for servers to navigate, a venue without a kitchen and a vendor partner that did not show up all of which they overcame.
Derek is an absolute work horse. This man and his team pulled through helping move tables, setup stations and coordinate the bar. Throughout the day he constantly checked on the wedding party insuring we had food and drinks and were not left out because we were across the field taking pictures.
We had CC also provide a late night snack of poutine and smoked meat. Wow was this a hit, from the moment we had these stations open up we had guests coming to us saying how deliciously crispy the fries were and how tender and flavourful the smoked meat was. Whenever I passed the station I would see repeat guests in the line which made it obvious these folks were doing something right. Moishe put together these fluffy, velvety, chocolate peanut butter cupcakes that our guests were talking about for weeks after the wedding.
We cannot express our gratitude enough in this review to Moishe, Derek and their team. You all pulled through for us on our very memorable day not just with the amazing food but with your hard work, professionalism, attention to detail and heart.
