What to compare before you book

Who it is for

This page is for high school graduations, college and university celebrations, family open houses, convocation lunches, school receptions and backyard graduation parties.

Ottawa graduation scenarios

Graduation events may take place after ceremonies at Carleton, uOttawa, Algonquin or local high schools, or in homes, parks, rental halls and restaurants where guests may arrive in waves.

Service options

Good graduation formats include drop-off platters, buffet meals, BBQ service, taco or pasta bars, boxed meals, dessert tables, coffee service and kid-friendly options for mixed family groups.

Budget considerations

Budgets depend on the expected guest range, how long food must be available, delivery timing, serving equipment, staffing, dessert, rentals and whether the event is a full meal or casual reception.

Questions to ask

Ask how the menu holds over time, whether food can be replenished, what serving equipment is included, how dietary items are labelled and whether the caterer can adjust for uncertain attendance.

Local planning tips

Ceremony schedules can run long, so build in a realistic food delivery window. For open houses, choose menus that stay appealing even when guests arrive over several hours.

FAQ

Buffets, platters, BBQ, grazing tables and dessert spreads usually work well because guests can serve themselves as they arrive.
