Encore Catering is an active Toronto caterer with a dedicated wedding-catering service and a confirmed North York contact location. For couples looking for Toronto wedding catering, the company’s official information describes custom menu planning, tasting options and logistics support for celebrations ranging from intimate gatherings to larger receptions.

Established in 1979, Encore Catering says it is family owned and has more than 40 years of wedding-catering experience. This profile was last reviewed on August 11, 2026, using direct pages from the company’s confirmed official website.

Services and specialization

Encore’s wedding page describes a planning-led catering service rather than a fixed, one-size-fits-all wedding package. Its documented expertise includes menu selection, tasting menus, engagement parties, bridal showers and family dinners. For the wedding day itself, the company says it can work on custom, themed and culturally specific menus, as well as special menu needs such as vegan options.

The official site also lists room-layout suggestions, décor recommendations, event coordination, staffing needs and rentals planning. Encore says it can assist from venue selection through setup and teardown. These are useful planning touchpoints for couples who want the caterer involved beyond preparing food, but the exact scope should be confirmed in the proposal for the chosen venue and service style.

Service area and who it may suit

Encore positions its wedding service for Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Its official wedding page refers to relationships with venues throughout Toronto and describes experience with tent weddings, larger venue receptions and intimate weddings at home. The company’s North York address provides a clear starting point for couples planning in Toronto.

It may suit couples who want to discuss a tailored menu and the surrounding event logistics with one catering team. The published service information is especially relevant where dietary preferences, a themed or culturally specific menu, a tasting, venue choice or rentals coordination are part of the plan. Couples outside Toronto or the GTA should ask whether their date and location can be accommodated before relying on this profile.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed strength is the breadth of wedding-planning functions described on Encore’s own site: custom menus, tasting menus, special menu needs, venue guidance, event coordination, staffing and rentals planning. Encore also states that wedding menu items are made fresh in house and that it uses locally sourced and environmentally sustainable ingredients when possible. The company’s long operating history is documented as family owned since 1979.

The practical limitation is that online descriptions do not establish what is included for every wedding. The official site mentions the ability to alter menu items for allergies and dietary restrictions, but couples should discuss ingredients, allergen handling, service flow, beverage service, rentals, staffing, equipment, delivery and cleanup in writing. Availability, minimums and venue requirements are not confirmed by the public wedding page.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. Encore invites couples to provide event information and budget through its contact form so it can prepare a proposal. The form asks for the event date, guest count, location, expected timing, whether staff are required and additional menu or beverage details; these are sensible details to have ready before requesting a quote.

Encore’s official pricing explainer was last updated in 2024 and says its figures are estimates rather than an official quote or proposal. Because that guidance is not current wedding pricing, couples should obtain an itemized, date-specific proposal and ask which food, staffing, rental, delivery, tax and venue-related costs are included.

Request a written proposal for the selected date, venue and guest count
Ask whether staffing, rentals, delivery, setup, teardown and tax are included
Do not treat general online estimates as a current wedding quote

Contact and booking

The official contact page lists Encore Catering at 5000 Dufferin St. Unit P, North York, ON M3H 5T 5. Couples can call 416-661-4460, email info@encorecatering.com or submit the company’s online contact form. The site says its regular business hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

For a more useful initial conversation, prepare the wedding date, venue or location, estimated guest count, start and end times, desired staffing, budget range and any dietary or service requests. Encore’s form specifically requests these details, indicating that it uses them to shape the event enquiry.

What couples should confirm

Ask which menu format suits the event and whether a tasting is available for the proposed date. Confirm how the menu will reflect dietary needs, cultural preferences and any allergies, including the information guests will receive onsite. If a bar or beverage service is wanted, ask whether Encore provides it, coordinates it or requires a venue partner, as the public wedding page does not set out a standard beverage package.

Also confirm the venue’s kitchen and access conditions, the timeline for setup and teardown, staff roles and hours, rentals, tableware, décor responsibilities, payment schedule, cancellation terms and final head-count deadline. If Encore is assisting with venue selection, request details on the relationship with the suggested venue and whether any venue-specific restrictions affect the menu or service.
