Reviews of Simply Savory Valley Catering (Event Planner)

Clint Bargen

I had the pleasure of attending a wedding that Simply Savory catered on October 14th. One of the best parts of my job (I'm a wedding photographer) is getting to eat the great food that comes along with weddings. This isn't always the case! However, luckily for me Simply Savory Valley Catering was there that night. The food was EXCELLENT. I believe I went back for seconds. As well, the staff was all very friendly and I would recommend their work to anyone.

Great food - the brisket is amazing! Big thanks to making a 50th Wedding Anniversary extra special and on such short notice (sorry!!) Would highly recommend Simply Savory Valley Catering!

Amie Donaldson

They catered our wedding, June 2019 - 130 people - they did such an AMAZING job. We were so happy with everything from the appetizers to the meal to the dessert. People were going up for thirds during the meal! Carrie and her team are family run, so professional and wonderful to work with. She was always there to help me if I had any questions and exceeded our expectations, we are so thankful we decided to hire them for our special day.

We worked with Simply Savory Valley Catering for our wedding in Ocotber and the food was absolutely delicious. It's been several months since our wedding and we still get comments from family and friends about how much they enjoyed the meal at our reception. The tasting that was set up prior to selecting our menu was a lot of fun, and a wonderful way to taste our menu before setting it up for the big day. Thank you, Simply Savory!

We decided this was the perfect year to not cook Christmas dinner. Simply Savory made the best Christmas dinner with giant portions. Way more than we could eat in one or two meals. My favorite was the bread stuffing and the citrus dressing. I really hope they keep up this new tradition. We are forever customers!

Donna Pinning

They were quick, professional and caring. They catered enough pre-packaged lunches for 200 people. They took thought into how it was presented, offered variety and accommodated dietary restrictions. They were easy to work with and communicated well.

Thank you all at Simply Savory for a terrific job catering at our daughter’s July 2019 wedding! We have had so many compliments for our guests about the amazing food and great service. The food was hot, fresh, done to perfection and served on time. The signature salads and grilled salmon you recommended were mouthwatering delicious. Your willingness to accommodate dietary restrictions, even serving individual dishes for some of our guests, was so much appreciated. It wasn’t just the food that made the experience so great. From our first email until the wedding day you and your staff were kind, dedicated and professional. And SO accommodating! Before and during dinner you didn’t just take care of your own setup, but had an awesome ‘team’ approach with the other suppliers. Thank you so much for going above and beyond in every area! We highly recommend you to anyone who needs catering services!

We've enjoyed working alongside Brett and Carrie and the staff at Simply Savory at a number of weddings over the last few years. The food is always incredible and we love that they use local and seasonal ingredients whenever possible plus their bbq is always a hit. Brett and Carrie are a pleasure work with and we highly recommend them to couples looking for a caterer for their wedding. Mark + Elizabeth at the Little White Chapel

Simply Savoury provided great service from the beginning. Amie is very responsive and answers all your questions.. we had many due to covid. Our tasting was amazing and really helped us narrow down all their delicious options. Our wedding day catering was perfect, they set up and were exactly on time, which we couldn’t have appreciated any more. The food was not only hot, but it was delicious! Many went up for more.. and more! Make sure you get the mexican corn, so good! Thanks again you guys :)

Andrea Capadouca

Working with Carrie and Amie from simply savory was absolutely amazing. We postponed our wedding because of Covid and they were beyond accommodating up to the very last minute when the “rules” was up in the air and still unknown for our upcoming wedding date. They were extremely on the ball, great to communicate with and on the day of they had us and all of our guests ranting about how great the food was. The scallop potatoes were to die for!! A fantastic company with great people who run and work there. I am and have been telling everyone I know to book with them if they want excellent service and food for their next event!!

Cliff Prang

As an event emcee I have had the privilege of working alongside of Simply Savory at several fundraisers and galas. Not only is their food always incredible, but they are approachable, accommodating and fun to work with. With that in mind, when I had task of planning my wife's 40th birthday bash, it was a no-brainer to contact Carrie & Brett of Simply Savory. They served phenomenal eats and treats and my wife AND our guests felt throughly valued and celebrated. They took our backyard soiree to the next level.

Renee

Simply Savoury is, in a word, incredible. They stayed in contact with us over two full years, through the ups and downs and uncertainties of covid and planning our wedding. They are the kindest people you will meet and they make the best food you will eat!! They were so amazing at our wedding. Everything ran smoothly and our guests raved about the food. They are the pinnacle of professionalism and service and are just down to earth, wonderful people. Thank you so much for making mine and Brandon’s wedding day one to remember forever!

Simply savory did the catering for my wedding of 150 people this summer. They offer a private tasting experience prior to booking, the food and welcoming of them were so good we didn't even look elsewhere for other options. Pricing is reasonable and food and service was excellent. They were very prompt in responding to any questions I ever had and even so contacted me the day before the wedding to confirm everything. Very organized, friendly service, and excellent food. Would not hesitate to recommend them or rebook in the future.

Nicole Neels

Simply Savory was everything we could have asked for in regards to our covid wedding! Their customer service was professional and they replied in a timely manner to the many questions we had for them. Most importantly, their food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend to any bride and groom getting married!

Leslie Waddington

Thank you Simply Savory for providing a delicious and festive fresh lunch to our staff and students. From start to finish the service and communication was professional and efficient, topped off with your delivery to our site with a smile. You went above and beyond with your generous Christmas meal donations as well. Your community spirit shines bright.

Kelley Goodall

It was amazing. Thank you for all your hard work. For all of you out there looking for a caterer I would recommend using Simply Savory .

Lauren Martin

We had Simply Savory cater our outdoor wedding this August, and must say how happy we are that we chose them. With having to deal with all of the stresses and details of planning a wedding, SS were communicative, organized, and reliable. Us being the foodies we are, we really appreciated how the food was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. We also had so many compliments from our guests on it afterwards! The staff were warm and attentive, and made sure to check in with us and guests throughout the night. We could not be any happier with their services and if you choose to go with SS, rest assured you will be in good hands!

Christa Neels

Just wanted to say thank you so much for the great experience we had while dealing with you/your company on our children’s wedding. From our first email to the finished product you were great to work with. Super friendly, helpful and professional! Drunken chicken and pork tenderloin was amazing! So tender! The corn, cauliflower and brocoli and salads were amazing, as well as the appies (meatballs, cucumber rounds and spanakopitas)! We received so many compliments on the delicious food. Food arrived hot upon drop off and staff was super helpful and accommodating upon setup. Also giving our server girls tips for serving. Thank you so much! We highly recommend you to anyone who needs a catering company.

Jessica Hensel

The best wedding food we have ever had. After the tasting party, it was hard to decide on our menu. All of the guests raved about the food. Great covid procedures and lovely people.

Michelle Galpin

Highly recommend Simply Savory for any event! They catered our wedding and everyone was raving about the food. It was so good! We were able to do a tasting before booking with them, they were flexible with covid, and during our wedding they took care of dishes and every little thing. They brought everything they needed to our venue (as it didn't have a kitchen), served all of the proteins for everyone, and set up and took down all of the serving items. Their communication during the entire thing was great and answered all of our questions no matter how small.

Nini Durward

Carrie, Brett Jarvis and their team did an amazing job for our daughter and son in law's Wedding Reception. The Team was friendly, upbeat, professional, dependable and very accommodating. They really know what they are doing which was all done First Class. The food was delicious and the presentation was as good as it tasted We will definitely use Simply Savory Valley Catering again and recommend them to family and friends!! Dave and Nini

Cannot day enough good things. The whole experience was top notch. And the food was delicious and perfect for a hot summer outdoor dinner. Highly recommend!

Kalyna Bjurman

Due to the pandemic we had to cancel our wedding twice. Unfortunately we were not able to use their services, but, they went above and beyond offering us multiple options we were very satisfied with in the end. As soon as we are able to we will definitely be booking with them again as the food & options looked amazing and they truly went the extra mile when they didn’t have to.

B & K Zalot

Amazing people, amazing food and amazing service! Highly recommend for any of your catering needs!

Jo

Carrie and Brett were amazing! From our first phone interactions, planning our menu, to calling as they were on route to our son and daughter-in-laws rehearsal dinner, in our backyard. The food was even better than anticipated. From delicious appetizers, perfectly cooked prime rib, flavourful Tuscan Chicken, tasty roasted potatoes, zesty Fire-cracker and Caesar Salads, to the best cream corn I have ever tasted, a real winner for sure! We received so many compliments, from our guests on the delicious food and amazing service! Our family is still talking about the prime rib and cream corn, and how flavourful and delicious they were! We would HIGHLY recommend Carrie and Brett for your next catered event, they are the Best! Great food and friendly service! Pat and Jo

Rose Loewen

We had Simply Savoury caterer my son's wedding last weekend. With not a lot of notice they were not only able to do the event but took care of preparing a delicious meal. I had many compliments that the food tasted great and appreciated the suggestions that Carrie gave for this day. I would highly recommend them for any event! Thanks again!

Beth Taylor

We hired Simply Savory Valley Catering for our Firm Christmas Party. They were amazing. We had floods, rain, snow, food shortages and road closures to maneuver around but they pulled it off with amazing calmness. The food was amazing. I let them decide the menu as they were dealing with the challenges of food shortages. It was superb! It makes me want to go work with them for six months or so just to get some of those recipes!!! (I hate cooking) You will not be disappointed and they far exceed any expectations you might have.

Jake Houlton

We got married on July 31st, originally had booked the event for upwards of 150 people and had to pare down to 75. From the start Simply Savory was so easy to work with and was always clear and concise and gave us so many options in regards to menu. They adjusted numbers, menu, and appetizer service with the ups and downs of planning a covid event and responded quickly each time. Cost wise they were very reasonable. Our guests are still raving about the food, our only regret is that we didn’t eat more of it. Will absolutely book again on other events, thank you so much for making our day that much more memorable with your amazing food and service.

We hosted my niece's wedding at our home July 13 and Carrie and Brett catered the event. The food was amazing and most people finished everything on their plate! They were punctual and did what they promised when they were hired. Cooking on site added to the already beautiful atmosphere as the aroma of BBQ was perfect. We highly recommend Simply Savory!

Katie Schuetz

My husband and I had Simply Savory cater our wedding last June and they are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! They are an incredible kind family who welcomes you into their home for a food tasting. They make you feel so welcomed and are just so friendly. And their food is UNREAL amazing! We got SO MANY compliments from our guests on how AMAZING our food was! I cannot say enough good things about them! If you are needing a cater, get them and they will exceed all your expectations!

Colleen Gasparac

Good quality food and beverages. They catered our nieces wedding at Single Tree Winery and they were excellent.

Cher King-Scobie

We had Simply Savory cater a recent workshop. As the organizer, I received many, many compliments on my choice of caterer. The food was yummy, the presentation was excellent and the service was impeccable. Our event required morning snack and coffee, lunch and an afternoon snack for 55 people and Carrie pulled it off with finesse.

The food is simply amazing! If you have an opportunity to use their services you won’t be disappointed. I wish they did take home, I would be a regular customer for the Mac and cheese alone????

Devon Hardie

Simply Savory Valley Catering does an amazing job working with our large corporate appreciation events. The food is always awesome and they take all the stress out of planning the catering for these important events. The team is beyond flexible and we are very grateful to work with them every year!

Danielle Rodriguez

Such amazing food!! Honestly... the best! We had Simply Savory cater our wedding last weekend and they were amazing! At the tasting we couldn't get enough of the corn dish and scallop potatoes so those were a must on our wedding menu and our guests couldn't get enough of it! So many compliments. We also went with the drunkin' BBQ chicken and brisket and we had tons of compliments on those selections as well. For the appies we requested a vegetarian appy along with meat appies (since I am a vegetarian!). Not only did they do this but they actually created additional vegetarian appies just for me! They were SO good! What we thought was amazing was during cocktail hour, when we were doing family photos with the wedding party and our families they circulated and brought us our own appy plates to make sure we were getting enough to eat! When they brought me my own vegetarian platter they noticed some guests came over and started eating them when we were taking pictures. The wait staff were immediately there with another plate of appies for me! Thank you for that!! Carrie is just the sweetest. She wouldn't let me go near the food in my dress and insisted on dishing up my plate and delivering it to my seat. She is so easy to talk to and is such a kind person. I 100% recommend this catering company to anyone who is looking for a caterer! I am still dreaming of their food and look forward to any future event where I can have them cater again! Thank you SO much Carrie and staff at Simply Savory!

We are a bit late leaving a review but we had so many compliments on our caterer in Oct 2015. The food was AMAZING! And they were so nice to deal with. Someone just asked who was your caterer... so everyone loved them! Thanks again so much!

Kara Salmond

Simply Savory catered our recent Covid wedding and provided delicious food. What stood out to us the most was their excellent customer service. We hired them to do drop off service for a 10 person dinner but when regulations changed they were nothing but helpful and accommodating to our last minute changes of having a reception with 30 people. All phone calls or emails were answered very promptly. They made sure everything was under control and we couldn't have been happier with their services!

Meagan Jansen

We had Simply Savory cater an appy night and the food was unreal! From the beginning to the end of planning this event, Carrie, Brett and their team fulfilled all of my requests and more! Thanks for the great service, will definitely use this company in the future!! (The pulled pork tacos were a HUGE hit!)

Maggie Metz

The food and service for our outdoor party was excellent! We highly recommend Simply Savory Valley Catering for your next event!

Bob Cowan

Hello, we contracted Simply Savory to host our 2020 Christmas Lunch for my employees. As we have never had an in house lunch like this before we were unsure how it was supposed to be handled. The whole crew at Simply Savory made it an easy and effortless experience. they took care of everything from the AMAZING BBQ menu to set and tear down of the equipment. The BBQ'd Ribs, Brisket and Chicken literally melts in your mouth. We will be using them again this year to experience the complete BBQ experience in the summer. Thank you very much for a seamless experience.
