    Alpine Wedding Buffet

    We used Alpine catering for our wedding, we got the deluxe buffet for around 70 guests! First off - the food was amazing! We loved that the head table got served to avoid long dresses in a buffet line and the plates served were massive and delicious portions. The quality of the food is exceptional value compared to other food vendors in calgary! I’d say my only feedback for improvement would be responsiveness/details - we found it hard to get emails back at times (although I understand this wedding season is exceptionally busy) and he did answer voicemails when left so not a huge deal! We were slightly disappointed our one guest who needed a gluten free meal was told that they didn’t have one for her - I included that detail in several emails so that was disappointing but they were able to walk her through the buffet and show her GF options. For one person it wasn’t a huge deal, but the way it was said to her made it seem like I had forgotten to include her. Other than that I would definitely recommend them! I’d just say to call Rick instead of emails as it tends to be easier and ensure that you note any allergies for separate plates to be made up.

    Good value with great feedback from guests

    We were very satisfied with the service provided by Alpine Catering - they had delicious food at an affordable rate, and the staff were very friendly. Rick was accommodating and quick to reply to emails about any concerns we had. At first, my wife was worried because we did not receive a formal invoice and we wanted to plan logistics months in advance, whereas Rick preferred to finalize details a week prior; however, he is reliable and provided a great service! It was very helpful that Alpine Catering provided the buffet and tableware (table clothes, dinnerware, cutlery, etc.) that was professionally cleaned and that we could pick up the day prior for us to set up the space. The staff did a phenomenal job on the day-of preparing, serving and cleaning supper. Their service played a part in making the wedding a low stress event for us planning and very filling for the guests. The guests were very happy with the meal as the chicken was very moist and the vegetarian option was delicious as well. One of the staff even offered to serve me, the groom, another plate of food since my socializing caused my food to get cold before I could have a bite! We would definitely recommend Alpine Catering!

    Excellent Service, Price, and Food

    I couldn’t be happier with Alpine for our catering. The buffet was great. They also provided our bartenders and midnight lunch. All staff was fantastic day of. Rick was easy to communicate with and very helpful. The food was awesome, all guests were happy. They set up for us the day before, all linens provided were perfect. Zero complaints whatsoever.

    Communication issues and inexperienced bartending staff

    Communication was not great, it would take several unresponsive emails and voicemails to get a callback. The bartenders were 2 hours late and rude to the guests, and our cocktail hour snacks were never served. Alpine did fix this by providing a partial refund for some of the missed services, but many of the issues could have been problem-solved beforehand if they communicated with us. The serving staff were fantastic and the meat dishes were awesome, but the over-all experience was fairly negative.

    Alpine Catering's reply:

    I am disappointed to see this review this morning as I spoke with this client days after there wedding and I thought these shortcomings were resolved
    Let me start by saying this Wedding was in Canmore. I did hire one new bartender and one worked with me before, after coming out of Covid we had to replace some of our staff and had to endure staff shortages like many industries They were late as they said they got lost. So when they arrive late they were ran off their feet and may of been a little flustered. I believe the miscommunication was mostly from Canada day holiday on the Friday she did leave me a few messages and I did respond in the evening.
    The Catering staff got lots of compliments on the quality of food, taste and service at dinner time and clean up later. I received a voicemail Sunday morning thanking me and saying everything was fantastic and then when to drop off the linens.
    After meeting with the client I then discussed the issues with my bartenders to improve their customer service.
