An event I went to used them for catering. We only had desserts and pastries. They provided a wide…read morevariety of different pastries. Some of the pastries included birthday cake, cupcakes, tarts, brownies and etc. They also had coffee and tea served along with water. Service was great. The server came around to grab dirty plates and cups. Food was ok. But again I only had pastries and desserts. The review is mostly about their service and the layout of the food on the table. Yes food was laid out really nicely.

We were bullied by Simply Elegant in to cancelling our contract. We have our event booked at…read moreWaterfront Parks (original venue at Skyline which apparently closed according to Simply Elegant) for July 2021 and they told us around 20 days before our event that there was a scheduling conflict so we cannot have the venue anymore on the date that we're suppose to have our event. They offered us a refund of the venue cost if we move our date, or move us to Venue 308 or Brownstone but with no compensation for the trouble, or full refund to cancel our event. We don't understand how they can double book the venue and choose to kick us out instead. Either they accidentally double booked or a bigger client wanted our date so Simply Elegant chose to boot us out, which was a clear breach of contract. We wanted a refund before (even just 75% of our money back) but they won't let us which I understood because we signed a contract but we asked them anyway just in case they will allow it. But for them to spring the news to us that we will not get the Waterfront Park venue 20 days before our event was so shady. They told us that there was a conflict with the Shriners which was a lie because we checked the Shriners website and they do not have an event at that venue on our date. We were left scrambling and we felt cheated and bullied by this company. We would be okay with them moving us to a different venue if they would just refund us the venue cost but they did not budge. They didn't even try to meet us halfway, they did not want to negotiate. We were suppose to have a skyline view, then they moved us to Waterfront Park which would have given us a lake view (so comparable to our original venue), but now they wanted to move us to another venue with no view - so we felt they should at least compensate us. Changing our date was not an option given how late it is already for us to ask our other vendors and our guests if they can work with that. We chose to support them during the pandemic but as soon as everything opened up, they chose to screw us over. I am 6 months pregnant and the emotional distress they have put me through is unbelievable - especially for a company that is supposed to be a champion in hospitality and client service. We decided to deal directly with the venue that they were going to move us to as I couldn't imagine them still holding our event after how they treated us. As soon as I told them that we would opt for the full refund (after us trying to negotiate and them not making any counteroffers), they told me that they will mail me the cheque - knowing full well that we need the money right away so we can pay the new venue and new caterer. There was no sense of urgency on their end. When we paid them they were etransferred so they received our money instantly, and for the refund they wanted to just mail the cheque. We ended up picking up the cheque and that's how our relationship with them ended. They're probably just going to delete this review....

One word.... WOW!…read more We booked Nicole Gourmet to cater our backyard wedding of 20 people. We were a little apprehensive at first, as they did not offer any food tastings - unlike other catering companies we had contacted. With a few recommendations from friends, we still went with them based on Nicole Gomes's reputation. Needless to say, we and our guests were all blown away with the presentation and food quality. We were given many options for menu offerings, but what was recommended by them was amazing. They even accommodated to our last-minute change to swap out two menu items without any hesitation. Each menu item worked harmoniously with each other. The flavours were unique and very well balanced; each dish tantalized all our taste-buds! With both of us being big foodies, our expectations were high, but they definitely exceeded them! Jaclyn & Carey and their team were super accommodating and extremely professional. We only paid for one person to assist with the set up. On the day of the wedding, they showed up with a team of three! Their passion and attention to detail really shined through in every single aspect. They offered to do a site visit (which they don't normally do) but they mentioned that our wedding day is very special and wanted to make sure nothing was missed - indeed nothing was. They covered every aspect to make sure nothing was missed, offering dish and cutlery rentals and even event planning services. We already had booked our event rentals used a wedding planner...but it was awesome to know they cover those too. We will definitely be delighted in using them again, and we highly recommend Nicole Gourmet for any event! Our wedding planner will also be sure to also help spread the word! Thank you for making our special day that extra special! We are very confident that you will be doing the same for anyone who books with Nicole Gourmet!

I first learned about Whippt when they were the dessert table caterer for a charity event I…read morevolunteered for. Each year they put together really beautiful displays that matched the theme of the event and they generously donated many of the items. Since then I have used Whippt for several business lunch/catering orders and they are quick to respond, have a variety of items to meet different price points and deliver on time for each of my events. I'll continue to use them for their quick and efficient service. Ordering catering for meetings can be such a headache and I appreciate them making it easier on us!

Liisa and Karen were amazing......so experienced that they knew my kitchen as well as I did within a few minutes. Serving appetizers, courses of the meal and doing the cleanup as they went along was just so good.....I was ready to adopt them both! They actually needed very little direction after I showed them the menu. My guests were so impressed, and so was I. I felt Personal Thyme really contributed to the success of the evening and I thank Corinna sincerely.

I really wanted to use this caterer because I read great things but when I reached out, the…read morecontact that replied was so short and unwilling to work with me to help me craft something for my small wedding. They had restrictions I was willing to work within but was hoping for some flexibility. Regardless of flexibility or not it would have been nice to chat through ideas. When I voiced my frustration no one responded to me and that was the end of the interaction. Unfortunately I cannot speak to the food since their customer service was so terrible I had to go with another vendor. I honestly never leave reviews but i left this interaction feeling so terrible i wanted to provide my feedback and it was clear the person i was emailing with was not interested in receiving any.

She uses them all the time and had nothing but great things to say so I did. It was fabulous! Not only did everything come on time and beautifully presented but also it was definitely the best tasting office catering I have ever had. The only problem is now I want to try the whole menu which looks incredible! oh and try the Roasted Mushroom + Chicken Carbonara....outta this world!
