Culinary Catering

Last reviewed: August 11, 2026. Business status: Active.

Last reviewed: August 11, 2026. Culinary Catering is an active full-service caterer based in London, Ontario. Its confirmed official website presents wedding catering alongside other special-event work, with a current inquiry route, published telephone number and London address.

For couples researching London Ontario wedding catering, Culinary Catering describes custom menu planning and wedding service ranging from intimate gatherings to larger receptions. The company’s wedding information names plated dinners, buffet service and cocktail-style receptions, so the fit may be strongest for couples who want to discuss the food format and menu with the caterer rather than select a single fixed wedding package.

The official site says it provides on-site catering in London, St. Thomas, Sarnia, Aylmer, Tillsonburg, Chatham, Grand Bend and surrounding areas. Availability, travel requirements and the final scope still need to be confirmed directly for a particular venue and date.

Services and specialization

Culinary Catering’s wedding page documents custom menus using fresh ingredients and describes three principal reception formats: plated dinner, buffet service and cocktail-style reception. Its menu overview also lists canapés and light bites, marché stations, dinner menus, vegan menus, desserts and late-night snacks. Those categories give couples a useful starting point, but the specific dishes and service design are to be discussed with the company.

The business also states that it can build a bar package for an event. Do not assume bar service, rentals, staff quantities or a particular menu item are included in every proposal; the official site describes proposals as tailored to the client’s needs.

• Wedding meal formats documented by the business: plated, buffet and cocktail-style reception.
• Additional menu categories shown online: canapés, marché stations, vegan options, desserts and late-night snacks.

Service area and who it may suit

The company identifies London as its base and states that it specializes in on-site catering across London and parts of Southwestern Ontario, specifically naming St. Thomas, Sarnia, Aylmer, Tillsonburg, Chatham and Grand Bend. It also says it works at venues in and around the London area and provides off-premise catering.

This may suit couples planning a London-area or Southwestern Ontario wedding who want a caterer to work at their chosen venue or private setting. Culinary Catering’s venues page lists Brookside Banquet Centre as a featured venue and lists several other venues it has catered at; that list should not be treated as a guarantee of current availability or an exclusive arrangement except where a venue confirms one.

• Base: London, Ontario.
• Published service geography includes London, St. Thomas, Sarnia, Aylmer, Tillsonburg, Chatham and Grand Bend, plus surrounding areas.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed feature is menu customization: the company says it collaborates with couples to reflect their style, culture and vision. The online wedding materials also document multiple dinner and reception formats, a vegan menu category and a separate bar-service offering. These are service features described by the business, not independent quality endorsements.

Practical limitations are also clear. Culinary Catering says it is not a certified allergy-free kitchen, even though it says it will work to accommodate dietary needs. Its FAQ says food must be prepared and purchased through Culinary Catering, with commercially prepared wedding cakes identified as the stated outside-vendor exception. Couples should obtain written clarification for their venue, dessert plans and any allergy or cross-contact requirements.

• Dietary needs should be discussed early; the business does not represent itself as a certified allergy-free kitchen.
• Confirm outside-food rules and any exception for commercially prepared wedding cakes in writing.

Pricing

Current starting prices are explicitly published on Culinary Catering’s wedding page: cocktail receptions begin at $12 per person, dinner service begins at $65 per person, and late-night and sweet-table options begin at $14 per person. The same page says staffing, dinnerware rentals, travel and equipment rentals are additional costs, and directs couples to request a custom quote.

The FAQ also lists a wedding tasting at $74.95 per person for a customized three-course meal, booked subject to availability. Starting prices are not a complete wedding budget or a final per-person quote. Ask how service style, guest count, taxes, bar service, rentals, travel and equipment affect the written proposal.

• Cocktail reception starting price: $12 per person.
• Dinner service starting price: $65 per person.
• Late-night and sweet-table starting price: $14 per person.
• Wedding tasting: $74.95 per person, subject to availability.

Contact and booking

Culinary Catering publishes a wedding inquiry form, email address and telephone contact. The official FAQ says the process begins by email, phone or web inquiry, followed by a custom proposal. Once a menu is agreed, the company says it sends a contract and secures the event with a retainer or deposit.

The same FAQ says a date is secured once a deposit is paid, and that final guest numbers and the kitchen menu are due 14 days before the event date. Request the current contract before paying, including the exact deposit amount, due dates, service scope and cancellation terms.

• Phone: (519) 641-4725.
• Use the official wedding inquiry form to request a custom quote.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm that Culinary Catering is available for the date and venue, whether the venue permits the proposed food and beverage arrangements, and which staff, rentals, setup, teardown, delivery, travel and equipment charges are included. The company’s FAQ says clients are responsible for tables, chairs, décor, linens and dinnerware unless they choose to hire Culinary staff for setup and/or teardown, so this deserves explicit line-item confirmation.

Also confirm the final menu, serving style, guest-count deadline, dietary and allergy plan, alcohol service, tasting availability, taxes, payment schedule and cancellation wording. The official FAQ says the retainer is non-refundable after booking; couples should read the current contract rather than rely on a directory summary.

• Get the full proposal and contract before submitting a deposit.
• Ask for all additional costs and responsibilities to be itemized.
• Document dietary restrictions and venue-specific food rules in writing.
