Services and specialization

Highwood Catering provides full-service catering for special events and has a dedicated wedding-catering offering. Its wedding page specifically presents formal plated dinners and wedding buffets, while its services page also describes food-station setups for wedding receptions.

The published wedding buffet menu includes ham, chicken, pork loin, salmon, Alberta lamb and roast-beef dinner options, with salads, vegetables and a starch. A vegetarian entrée is listed, and the company says its quinoa-stuffed pepper or portobello option can be made vegan on request.

The company says its wedding services can include professional waitstaff and bartenders. Its published wedding menu also states that entrée pricing includes white Royal Doulton glass plates, cutlery, white paper napkins and service staff.

Service area and who it may suit

Highwood Catering identifies itself as serving Okotoks, Calgary, High River, Nanton and the Foothills. Its official contact address is in Okotoks, Alberta, and the business says visits are by appointment only.

This service may suit couples hosting in those named communities who are deciding between a buffet and plated meal, and who want to discuss food preferences or dietary needs directly with the caterer. The site does not publish delivery-radius limits, venue restrictions or minimum guest counts, so those points need confirmation for a particular date and location.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature of Highwood Catering is its stated use of locally sourced produce and freshly prepared, homemade dishes. The company also says it works with clients to create menus around taste, budget and style, while its wedding page says menu items and services are adjustable.

The official site states that Highwood Catering has catered special events since 2007 and has catered more than 500 weddings. These are company-provided statements, rather than independently verified awards or reviews.

Several practical details are not fully published online. Couples should request a current proposal covering the selected menu, staffing, rentals or bar service, travel, timing, dietary procedures and venue-specific requirements.

What couples should confirm

Ask whether the requested date is available and whether the caterer can serve the chosen venue. Confirm the current menu price, included items, final guest-count deadline, service timing and any travel, delivery, setup, staffing, rental, bar or venue-related charges.

For dietary planning, discuss the number of guests needing vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or other accommodations, how meals will be identified and any cross-contact procedures important to the couple or venue. If choosing between buffet and plated service, ask how staffing, service flow, tableware and menu choices differ.

Review the contract and deposit terms before booking. The official site publishes an approximate 25% deposit and applicable gratuity and GST, but an event-specific written quote is the appropriate source for final scope and total cost.
