The Appetizingly Yours Philosophy
Appetizingly Yours Events and Catering has been servicing Guelph and the surrounding area for over 20 years. From our humble beginnings as a small home business catering private parties, we have developed into a vital organization servicing both private and large corporate events. Appetizingly Yours began in a converted commercial kitchen space in the owner's home in 1990. By 1997 we relocated to a 4,000 sq. ft. location at Airpark with a full commercial kitchen and administrative offices. In December 2006 we purchased the 7000 sq. ft. building that previously held ‘Roma Salami’. We extensively renovated and moved into our new kitchens and office in March 2007. Our staff has grown from 2 to 7 full time with a seasonal part time staff of about 30. The extensive experience of our management team is reflected in the talent and professionalism of our employees, who are committed to ensuring that every event exceeds our client’s expectations.
Our philosophy on food extends far beyond what you see on the plate. Our chefs work relentlessly to secure the finest ingredients available. We also maintain our own organic gardens where we grow a variety of edible flowers, herbs and vegetables seasonally. Our menus showcase the best ingredients of the season, and we refuse to serve anything else. Our network of suppliers provide us with daily deliveries of the freshest seasonal ingredients, from organic produce to naturally raised meats. We believe in supporting our local growers and farmers wherever possible, designing our menus around the incredible products our area has to offer. Appetizingly Yours is committed to supporting the local economy and independent operators that continually assist us in bringing the best of each season to our clients.
Appetizingly Yours is well known for incredible displays and themes. Our event planners specialize in designing events that are original and innovative. We love to incorporate ideas from any source possible, creating wonderful scenes using everything from birch trees to copper tubing. Our experience in event planning ensures that no detail will be overlooked, from traffic flow to lighting, a welcoming cocktail or nibble, to gift bags at the conclusion of the evening. Your guests will be treated to a professional, impeccably planned experience.
The quality and cutting edge style of every display item is of paramount importance to us.
Floral centrepieces, decorations, linens and fabrics, place settings, tents, tables and lounge furniture … everything must be of the highest standards. As such, we have hand picked the best suppliers in the area, guaranteeing that every aspect of your event will be perfect.
Our innovative event design doesn't end there. Our food presentations are constantly evolving to maintain our leadership in creative solutions. Encourage your guests to mingle around action stations: mashed potato or risotto bars served in martini glasses; hand made pastas, salads or stir fry; sandwich press (panini) stations; or try “degustation dining”, where multiple courses are served in miniature to guests as they circulate.
