Austin Gourmet

Last reviewed: August 13, 2026. Business status: Active.

Last reviewed: August 13, 2026. Austin Gourmet is an active catering business whose current official website presents wedding, corporate and private-event catering across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. For couples researching Vancouver wedding catering, the useful starting point is its stated full-service approach, custom-menu planning and Sample Kitchen tasting option.

The current site identifies Chef Doug Crewe and says Austin Gourmet has catered since 1988. It presents a quote-request form and lists weddings among its core services. The business’s current site does not publish a complete postal address or a public telephone number in the material reviewed, so couples should use the enquiry route and confirm the best direct contact method before booking.

Services and specialization

Austin Gourmet’s current official website describes full-service catering for weddings, corporate functions and private celebrations. Its wedding offering is presented alongside cocktail catering, plated service, breakfasts, lunches, barbecues, themed luncheons, holiday catering and celebration-of-life catering. For a wedding enquiry, the relevant evidence is that the business explicitly offers custom wedding menus and full-service support rather than a fixed, one-format wedding package.

The site also describes menu customization around event preferences, dietary needs and allergies. Its service pages identify formal plated dining with professional service as one available format, while its wedding material refers to curated wedding menu options. This suggests couples can begin with a preferred meal style and ask what staffing, equipment, timing and menu adjustments can be accommodated for their particular venue.

• Wedding catering with custom menu planning
• Cocktail and hors d’oeuvre service
• Plated dining options
• Catering for smaller gatherings through larger events, according to the business
• Dietary-needs, allergy and preference discussion during menu planning

Service area and who it may suit

Austin Gourmet states that it serves Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Its current service-area page names Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Surrey, Burnaby, Vancouver, White Rock, Harrison Hot Springs, Agassiz, Hope, North Vancouver, Delta, New Westminster, Richmond and Deroche.

This may suit couples planning a reception in Vancouver, the Tri-Cities, Langley or elsewhere in the Fraser Valley who want an off-site caterer and prefer to discuss a tailored menu. The official site does not publish travel fees, venue restrictions or a minimum order for wedding bookings. Couples outside the listed communities, or at a venue with exclusive catering rules, should confirm whether the business can serve the location and what venue requirements apply.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature of Austin Gourmet’s wedding process is its Sample Kitchen tasting: the official site says clients can taste and finalize a menu before their event. The business also documents chef-led menu planning, customizable menus and professional staff as elements of its full-service catering offering. These are operational features to ask about during an initial consultation, rather than independent quality endorsements.

The main practical limitation is incomplete public booking detail. The current site does not set out wedding package inclusions, service staffing levels, rental inventory, alcohol service, lead times, cancellation terms or venue-specific fees. Its visible enquiry form also contains an error notice in the page interface, so couples should confirm that an online enquiry has been received and request a direct reply before relying on it.

• Documented menu-tasting process through the Sample Kitchen
• Custom menus, including discussion of dietary needs and allergies
• Wide stated Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley coverage
• Public wedding-package details and booking terms are not published

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The reviewed current official pages describe custom menus and quote requests, but do not state per-person wedding prices, minimum spends, tasting fees, travel charges, staffing costs, rental charges, taxes, gratuities or bar-service costs.

Ask for a written quote that separates food, service staff, rentals or disposables, delivery and setup, travel, taxes, gratuities and any venue-required costs. It is also sensible to confirm the guest-count deadline, dietary-meal pricing, deposit schedule and whether a tasting is included or separately priced.

Contact and booking

Austin Gourmet’s current website provides a custom-quote and message enquiry route. The form asks for a name, email, phone number and message; use it to provide the wedding date, venue or municipality, estimated guest count, preferred service style and any dietary considerations. The business also directs prospective clients to contact it to arrange a Sample Kitchen tasting.

No current public phone number was displayed on the verified current pages reviewed for this profile, and no clean postal address was published there. Do not rely on older directory contact details without confirmation. Keep copies of your enquiry and any reply, then ask for the legal booking entity and a written proposal before sending a deposit.

What couples should confirm

Before choosing Austin Gourmet, confirm whether the requested date is available and whether the business can serve the exact venue. Discuss the meal format, cocktail-hour requirements, menu selections, dietary and allergy procedures, tasting format, rentals, tableware, staffing and the timing of setup and cleanup. If alcohol is planned, establish whether the caterer provides bar service or whether the couple and venue need separate arrangements.

The official site says it serves both intimate gatherings and large events, but it does not publish a wedding guest-capacity range. Ask whether the team can staff the proposed guest count and venue layout, whether there are minimums, and what contingency plan applies if attendance changes. Obtain the final scope, payment milestones, taxes and cancellation or postponement terms in writing.

Official identity and review notes

The confirmed current official website is austingourmet1.com. It matches the distinctive Austin Gourmet business name, identifies Chef Doug Crewe, describes the business as catering since 1988, and contains direct wedding-catering and quote-request content. These signals establish the current business identity and relevant wedding-service context for an Active listing.

The older austingourmet.ca web presence showed inconsistent or unusable current information during research. It is not used as the official website or as the source for this profile’s contact details. The address field is intentionally blank because the confirmed current site did not publish one clean postal address.
