Last weekend we had the absolute pleasure of catering a large charcuterie grazing table for a very special double retirement party! A beautiful celebration honouring a husband and wife duo who have poured so much into their careers and are now embracing the next chapter of life, side by side.

Their table was nothing short of a feast! It was overflowing with oven-roasted turkey, black forest ham, prosciutto, pepperettes, and genoa salami, alongside artisan baguettes and a crisp variety of crackers.

Guests also enjoyed fresh pineapple, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, oranges, red and green grapes, watermelon, raspberries, and blackberries!

All perfectly paired with garden-fresh vegetables like colourful peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and carrots.

The cheese spread featured aged cheddar, marble, Swiss, creamy brie, and our signature chives & onion Pringle cheeseball.

Dips included homestyle ranch, mustard, mayo, and a sweet heat combo of Big Ol’ Bear BBQ sauces: chipotle honey and sweet & tangy.

It was a table made to bring people together and celebrate all the meaningful moments. At Karen’s Catering, we’re here to make every event memorable! Whether you’re planning a big retirement bash, a baby shower, a backyard birthday party, or a small anniversary dinner.

We had the absolute pleasure of catering a beautiful wedding , and it was truly a day, filled with love, laughter, and a menu crafted with care for every guest.

From the very first bite to the last sweet treat, we made sure there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Their celebration began with an elegant and flavour packed appetizer spread. Guests were welcomed with parmesan chicken Caesar bites, fresh and vibrant caprese salad skewers, juicy meatballs with a BBQ drizzle, and our crowd-favourite devilled eggs. There were also creamy spinach dip with a variety of artisan breads, cream cheese; stuffed peppers, and a savoury mix of salami and cream cheese rolls on crackers, perfect for nibbling during cocktail hour. 

Dinner was warm, hearty, and made with love. We served crisp tossed salads, soft dinner rolls with butter, perfectly seasoned oven-roasted potatoes, tender roasted chicken, and a colourful medley of oven-roasted vegetables, comfort food elevated for a beautiful wedding feast. 

The dessert grazing table was truly the icing on the cake. Guests indulged in decadent brownies, rich cheesecake, buttery scones, creamy nanaimo bars, and mini cannolis from the beloved .cafe . It was a table full of sweet delights that had everyone coming back for more. 

We were also honoured to provide thoughtful options for guests with dietary preferences, including keto, vegan, and gluten-free selections. From keto crackers with guacamole, devilled eggs made with Greek yogurt, to vegan spring rolls, stuffed peppers with vegan cream cheese, and gluten-free versions of each, we ensured everyone felt included and cared for. 

Dinner accommodations included keto-friendly paprika chicken with homemade gravy, cauliflower fries, and teriyaki veggie noodles; vegan tofu with lemon, and gluten-free chicken with all the fixings. Even dessert wasn’t left behind, with delicious strawberry rhubarb and raspberry bars tailored for every dietary need.

The table was also full of fresh, vibrant produce including broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, rainbow peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, juicy cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, oranges, red and green grapes.

We also took special care in presenting desserts lovingly provided by the family, integrating them beautifully into our setup. And of course, no gathering is complete without coffee and tea to bring everyone together.
