We started as a two person operation mostly catering for our friends and families. These events were mainly birthday parties, engagement parties, christenings and other smaller occasions. It wasn’t long before we began to take on bigger jobs, and hired more staff. After several months, we were catering for events such as weddings, funerals and even formal corporate functions. Today, we’re an experienced team of 12 people, including gourmet chefs, professional waiting staff, and even a mixologist.
One of the biggest challenges is calculating the right amount of food and drink for an event. Food waste can be a problem in the catering industry so it’s crucial that caterers prepare properly to ensure everyone is fed while also minimising waste. This is normally easier to do for sit-down meals with structured courses, but can be a little trickier with party style food such as with buffets and canapés. However, with experience and the right preparation, you can achieve both full bellies and virtually empty bins. Especially if the food is delicious like ours always is!
For us, most of the hard work is done before the day of the event. From ordering only the best quality produce to ensuring all equipment is spotlessly clean, we put the hours in early. As the old adage goes, ‘if you fail to prepare, prepare to fail’. This includes ensuring that any guests with special dietary requirements are prepared for, all staff members are aware of the time schedule, and all food that can be prepared before the event is ready to go. Once that’s all taken care of, we can focus on providing delicious food and a professional service with a smile throughout the duration of the event.

Future brides & grooms, event planners, food lovers—if catering’s still on your to-do list, this is THE team to choose! Toronto's Kindest Caterer is an understatement. Brandon and his entire team were such a joy to work. Ask us ; ask all our guests ; and ask the team running the venue we had our wedding at. "THE FOOD IS SoOoOoOo GOOD" "That was the BEST food I've ever had at a wedding." "By far the best catering team we've seen do their thing." "We wish we did it how YOU guys did it!" From start to finish, their professionalism gave us complete confidence. Weddings are hectic, people are hectic - what saved our day was collaborating with people who understood the assignment and really delivered on what they said they would do. Now that our wedding is over, we're trying to figure out more reasons to throw a party... just so that we can work with NGC again. Thank you, Northern Guild Catering - we're so glad to have met you all!

Where do we even begin? From the first interaction with Brandon, we already felt welcomed and cared for. It didn't take long for us to know we wanted Northern Guild to cater our wedding. He shows you that he cares just as much as you do to make your event memorable. Brandon goes above and beyond to ensure everything worked perfectly. Dietary requirements, different food options and even what was required to ensure catering at our venue ran smoothly for all our guests. Brandon took care of it all and communicated with us to make sure it was all flawless and we didn't have to stress about anything. He is one of the biggest reason our special day was so special. All our guests loved their meals and many wanted more. Delicious is an understatement. We highly recommend Northern Guild and definitely got more than we asked for!

Wow! Brandon and his team at Northern Guild were incredible and amazing to say the least. Food to us was one of the most important things for our wedding because that's what people will remember. Believe me when I say that EVERY single guest came up to us and told us how much they loved their meal. If it wasn't for Brandon, we wouldn't have been able to pull off such a memorable wedding day. He helped us with more than just catering. We had many requirements for our venue and didn't know how to make it work. Brandon came up with all the solutions. Quite literally we wouldn't be able to do it without him. We can't thank him enough. Any time the subject of catering comes with, Northern Guild is the answer!

How much does a Caterer cost?
Your expert caterer will be able to advise you on the most suitable menus and service.
What should I look for when choosing a Caterer?
It is important to know the following before deciding on a catering company:
Event Specialists - Many caterers handle certain types of events on a regular basis, such as weddings and corporate events.
Different cuisines - Caterers might specialise in different kinds of cuisine. Some caterers may provide a fine dining experience while others excel at barbecues that suit company picnics.
Special requirements - If you have special requirements for the food or a specific menu in mind make sure your caterer is happy to meet those requirements.
Venue - Your gathering might be taking place at someone’s home, a venue or outdoors. It can be helpful if your caterer has worked at the venue before.
Tastings - Ask for a tasting to make sure the food is of a high standard. Most caterers will prepare one for you at no charge, allowing you to assess the quality of their cooking before you hire them.
How do I check a Catering Company’s credentials?
You could look for caterers with a foundation degree, higher national diploma or degree in Professional Cookery and Culinary Arts.
Before you choose a caterer, you could read testimonials and see pictures of their food on their website.
You could also look at their profile page on Bark and read reviews from past customers, too.
