Who it is for
Plated dinners suit weddings, galas, awards evenings, formal corporate dinners, fundraising events, private celebrations and any event where guests should remain seated through courses.
Ottawa plated dinner scenarios
Plated service may take place in hotels, museums, golf clubs, banquet halls, heritage venues, private clubs or tented sites where kitchen access, elevators, loading windows and room flips affect timing.
Service options
Common formats include two-course or three-course dinners, pre-selected entrees, duet plates, plated desserts, tableside wine service, coffee service and cocktail hour canapes before dinner.
Budget considerations
Plated dinner pricing usually reflects higher staffing, tighter timing, kitchen needs, rentals, china, glassware, linens and menu complexity. Compare full proposals rather than entree price alone.
Questions to ask
Ask about staffing ratios, menu tastings, entree counts, place-card requirements, dietary plates, service timing, rental coordination and who communicates with the venue or planner.
Local planning tips
Give caterers the venue floor plan, guest count, speeches schedule and kitchen details early. Formal service can be delayed by tight elevators, long walks from prep space or late seating changes.
