Simply Elegant saved the day for me when I needed a last minute catering for a small dinner. They honoured my budget, we're able to prepare a lovely meal for our group on very short notice and the service, delivery and clean up was great. Not to mention the food was delicious!! I would definitely use them again.

We had a wonderful experience working with Simply Elegant for a special family event. From start to finish, the communication was clear, prompt, and thoughtful—something we truly appreciated throughout the planning process. Even though our group was small, the team made everything feel incredibly meaningful and memorable. Jenn was absolutely amazing to work with. She transformed our parents’ home into a warm, elegant space with simple yet beautiful touches that captured the spirit of the evening perfectly. The food was superb—thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The chef clearly put care into every dish. A special thank you to Raymond, who went above and beyond. He was so attentive, taking time to connect with each of us and ensuring every detail was taken care of. His presence added a personal touch that meant so much to our family. The evening flowed beautifully, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Simply Elegant for any event, big or small. I’ll definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!

I have had the pleasure to work with Simply Catering three times in the past few months for lunches (60-80 people) at our office and it was a great experience every time. All staff that I had contact with were helpful along the way, adapting to small changes as needed and the food itself was also very good. We will definitely be going with Simply Elegant in the future!

I would highly recommend Simply Elegant without any hesitation! I've been working with Simply Elegant for many years now, in a variety of capacities and for all sorts of events - small dinners, big parties and Gala events and most recently a large wedding. Communication has always been clear and quick, very friendly and professional service, and super detail oriented! Jade is fantastic, an absolute gem to work with. I will continue to work with and recommend Simply Elegant!

We were extremely happy with the work and efforts that Simply Elegant dedicated to planning and executing our wedding at the Waterfront Park in September. Jade is the Event Production Director and she wears the role fabulously. She was quick to pick up on the big and small details that we wanted and delivered no questions asked. Mark is the catering manager and he met with us a couple times for tastings and menu revisions. He never got tired of our inquiries or requests (at least to our faces lol) and was very willing to go the extra mile for us. The team at Simply Elegant made themselves very available to us and our vendors on the wedding day and the days leading up to it. My guests mentioned how enjoyable the Simply Elegant team was on our wedding day and how they were fun, relaxed yet very organized. Thank you again Simply Elegant!

Simply Elegant catered our wedding reception last Saturday, the staff was exceptional and even though it was a small event made every effort to make it perfect for us. The flowers, both ceremony and reception were beautiful and we got many compliments. We had a cocktail menu, everyone said the food was delicious and that they couldn’t eat another bite! Thanks to Jade and Peter who were very helpful and prompt to answer my many emails.

Our family Christmas dinner, catered by Simply Elegant, was excellent! It was one of the best I’ve had - in terms of quality of food and creative recipes (sorry to any family members reading this who may have cooked a Christmas dinner in the past!). Our group was small but Simply Elegant was prompt in responding to our requests. I’m not one prone to writing a gushy review, but Simply Elegant deserves one! Thank you for making our dinner special.
