Planning guide
What to compare before you book
What Ottawa wedding catering costs
For a full meal, many Ottawa wedding proposals land in a broad per-person range once food, labour, delivery, rentals, HST and gratuity are included. Drop-off or casual buffet service can sit lower, while plated dinners, late-night food, bar service, rentals and premium staffing push totals higher. Compare quotes by total scope, not just menu price.
When you should book
For May through October Saturdays, start looking once your venue, approximate guest count and service style are known. Twelve months is comfortable for popular caterers and venues; six to nine months can still work for many dates. Shorter timelines are possible, but you may need to be flexible on menu style and staffing.
What most venues require
Ask the venue about approved caterer rules, insurance certificates, kitchen access, loading windows, alcohol policies, garbage removal, rental pickup and the deadline for final guest counts. Museum, hotel, golf club, barn and community-hall weddings can all have different requirements.
Questions to ask
Ask how the caterer handles tastings, menu revisions, allergy notes, halal or gluten-free requests, vendor meals, cake cutting, bar coordination, setup timing, teardown and communication with the planner or venue coordinator.
What staffing generally costs
Staffing is usually quoted separately or built into the package. Servers, chefs, bartenders, captains and dish support may be billed hourly with minimum shifts, and formal plated dinners need more people than buffets or drop-off service. Confirm who handles setup, clearing, water service, rentals and end-of-night cleanup.
Local planning tips
Local weddings may involve downtown hotels, museum venues, golf clubs, community halls, rural barns near Carp or Manotick, backyard tents, or cross-river celebrations with guests staying in both Ottawa and Gatineau. Winter weddings may need extra timing buffers, while summer tented weddings need cold holding and weather plans.
FAQ
For peak spring, summer and fall dates, start as soon as your venue and approximate guest count are known. Smaller or off-season weddings may have more flexibility, but popular caterers can book far ahead.
