HIGHLIGHT OF OUR WEDDING! Best and most accommodating, great tasting, professional caterers/staff ever!!al

We cannot recommend these caterers enough! From start to finish, they were incredibly flexible, working seamlessly within our budget without ever making us feel limited or pressured. They were super accommodating with cultural sensitivities and extremely mindful of our guests' allergies, customizing everything to suit our needs perfectly.

They walked my husband and me through every step of the process and kept us in the loop the entire time. Communication was clear and consistent—they were truly professional, responsive, and reliable. On the day of the wedding, their organization and warmth stood out so much that guests thought they were our close friends helping out!

And the food? Unforgettable. Even a week later, guests are still raving about it—especially the Bo Kho, which was such a hit that there were zero leftovers. Every dish was customized to our preferences, and they made sure we felt supported and celebrated throughout.

If you're looking for caterers who go above and beyond, treat you with genuine care, and serve phenomenal food, look no further. This team was an absolute highlight of our wedding!

More than just good food

Jane and the Chau team were a dream to work with. They catered the cocktail hour and late-night at our wedding, and we had their bao station, taco station, and grazing board.

So many of our guests were raving to me about how much they loved food! I would recommend Chau to anyone looking for a unique and scrumptious dining experience at their next event.

I would happily work with this mighty team again. Not just for the great food, but for their heart and attention to detail.

Throughout the busy night, they went out of their way to find my husband and me just to make sure we got to eat. Which shows how this team goes above and beyond, providing more than just a tasty meal.

This is a team of true professionals, I felt like I was in good hands from the start. Communication was always prompt and clear, and they were so helpful and accommodating.

Thank you to Jane and the team at Chau for making our wedding so special, we love you guys.

A no-brainer

Our experience with Chau was excellent from our very first call with them, right to the very end of the wedding day. Jane, Justine, and everyone on their team made the process so easy, stress-free, and seamless. They so willingly accommodated our ideas & our changes, and their expertise + professionalism really shows. And of course the FOOD was delicious all night long. Our guests raved about everything endlessly!! They really did some heavy lifting to make our wedding day unforgettable.

Chau Catering did an absolutely amazing job catering our wedding! From start to finish, the team was professional, organized, kind and so fun to work with! The food was truly one-of-a-kind, so unique and delicious — our guests are still raving about it!

From our first meeting with Jane until the end of the evening, Jane was well organized and a pleasure to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Chau Catering for anyone looking for exceptional food and service.

Magical Summer Patio Reception

Jane and her team are fantastic to work with. They take a disciplined and organized approach to planning the event. No detail is overlooked. And it’s thoroughly communicated and documented so there are no surprises or miscommunication. It allows the hosts to just relax, knowing that everything is taken care of.
The food menu is amazing. The colourful, flavourful fun yummy food was a major hit at our party. Everyone was raving about it. And, the event staff were superb: very thoughtful, anticipating guests needs with a charm that totally fit with the vibe of the party. I would highly recommend Chau.

Incredible Food, Unique To Us!

Chau were wonderful, from our introductory call to scope out a possible menu, working with us to make everything as economical as possible, while making sure the food was 'us' and delicious! All of our guests loved the food, and Chau went above and beyond to make sure even the most stringent dietary needs were met. Would recommend to anyone!

Thank you Chef Jane & Team - you're amazing!

Choosing Chef Jane and her team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, other than our venue. We got married at the Madison Greenhouse where they are now an official preferred caterer, finally having an option for people who have asian backgrounds, and want to serve up a modern yet authentic experience. We were so fortunate to book in for a tasting menu to get a sneak peek of our wedding menu - which was an incredible gift and experience for our bridal party. We had raving reviews about our wedding food which I don't hear often at weddings since you have to cater at scale. From Chef Jane's own personal experience of catering her own wedding to tailor to asian tastebuds, she really knew what we wanted when we first inquired as a mixed culture couple (Chinese & British) so that we can cater towards both sides of our friends and families. We are really thankful for her and her Chau team for their full support of making our vision come true - thank you team! We highly recommend them if you're looking for an incredibly and fun experience of choosing your menu, professionalism, expertise, and to support an amazing female-owned business!

Incredible and unforgettable menu

This was such an incredible experience. From the get go when we found out about your bespoke catering menu, to the tasting session, we knew it was going to be incredible! Being able to have an intimate, cozy, and delicious meal is everything we could have wanted, and you folks absolutely delivered.

When the wedding day finally came, your team was amazing at making sure we actually ate (not an easy task on such a wild day), and we really appreciated that extra care and attention! And just like we expected, our friends and family haven’t stopped raving about the food.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Hi, I’m Jane. Well Jane 1 to be exact. I’m the culinary brains behind Chau and have been working in the food industry, basically all of my life. I love attending weddings, but loathe the traditional wedding food. I have a passion for creating custom menus which reflect the couple getting married. When I got married to my husband, we found it impossible to find a caterer which could create a custom Scottish/English and Vietnamese/Chinese menu which reflect our heritage. In the end, I catered my own wedding (yup that's me all dolled up with a butchers apron carving our roast) and decided then and there, that I would specialize in creating custom wedding menus which reflect each couple’s unique ethnicity & palates.

….. And I’m Jane 2. I’m the bumbling brawn and sometimes brilliant assistant at Chau and have been eating all my life. I’ve only attended 2 weddings - both my own - so I come to the wedding catering business with no bad habits. I have always been fascinated with how excellent food affects mood and elevates celebrations. Seeing people relish something that I have helped to craft for them (in whatever capacity) creates a feeling for me that is difficult to describe - I have been honoured to nourish you and be involved in your special moment. Whether at a casual festival or a posh and dignified wedding, the interaction between idea and substance is the same: come and eat - we welcome you.

Hi, I am Justine.I am so happy and excited to be part of Chau’s Catering team!

I have been in the industry for 15 years, and have a passion for people and eating delicious food!

I have worked all positions in front of house and was an expo at one point in the kitchen. Once I had some experience in the restaurant industry, I got more curious about catering. I love creating long-term relationships with clients while coordinating and catering their events. From celebrating love at weddings to offices, and ensuring their employees feel appreciated, I couldn't get enough, and decided that coordinating is where I wanted to be. I even put on my own community events from time to time. I enjoy seeing others have a good time and hearing them rave about how good food tastes.

I am excited to be working with Chef Jane to create a wedding catering experience that is filled with lifelong memories and delicious food.
