Your wedding menu should feel like part of your celebration: thoughtfully chosen, beautifully presented, and a pleasure to share. Elwood Catering creates scratch-made wedding food with warm, attentive service for couples across Halton and the Greater Toronto Area.
From the first canapé to the last late-night bite, we help you bring the meal together around your tastes, venue, guest list, and budget. Choose an elegant plated dinner, a generous buffet, a family-style feast, or interactive food stations. Our menus draw on French, Italian, and Mediterranean flavours, with room to make the experience your own.
Food worth gathering for
Welcome guests with passed hors d’œuvres and artisan grazing displays, then settle into a meal featuring fresh seasonal salads, carefully prepared entrées, and flavourful accompaniments. Finish with individual desserts, a sweets table, or a live dessert experience. Signature favourites include braised short rib, pear and goat cheese salad, and beautifully arranged charcuterie.
Thoughtful service, from planning to celebration
We work with you on menu selections, dietary requirements, and the flow of service. Tastings give you an opportunity to sample proposed dishes and discuss the details with our team. Depending on your needs, your tailored proposal can include catering staff, bartending, dinnerware, linens, setup, and cleanup.
Whether you are celebrating at a wedding venue, beneath a tent, or at a private home, we bring care to the food and the people around the table.
Tell us your wedding date, venue, estimated guest count, and preferred dining style. We would love to prepare a personalized proposal for your day.

Amazing Experience!
Huge thank you to Lucas and his team at Elwood Catering!
From cocktail hour right through to dinner and the late night snacks, so many of our guests came up to us during and after the wedding to rave about how incredible the food was.
Beyond serving an amazing meal, Lucas and his crew were such a joy to work with. They genuinely went above and beyond for us, seamlessly pitching in wherever needed to keep everything running on schedule and stress free. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Elwood Catering to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

Great Food, Would Not Recommend
We wouldn’t recommend using Elwood for something as important as your wedding. The food was great and the staff is friendly but we had a lot of issues leading up to and on our wedding day that outweigh it. We got married over a month ago and waited to review, so none of this is written in the heat of the moment.
* It took 55 emails to discuss price, book the caterer, and book the tasting (to book our other vendors had maximum 10 emails). A lot of emails were following up after we didn’t get a response and questions were unanswered.
* In the week leading up we thought we were going to have to order a pizza dinner since we had no communication from the caterer
* Arrived an hour late after we repeatedly confirmed our timeline written and verbally, and sent a day-of schedule. This created a domino effect for the rest of the day
* Since they were late, they were setting up during our ceremony and vows
* We were told the set-up would be 3 buffet tables so we set up our guest tables accordingly within our limited space. Then only one buffet table was used for the caterer which left our guest tables more cramped than needed but since they arrived and set up late, we didn’t have time to adjust.
* Bartender was asking our immediate families to go to the store and get ice 5 minutes to the ceremony start time
* Bar refused to open when scheduled, until guests told the groom and he had to reiterate to staff that the bar is open
* Bride received a 7AM text the day of to ask if they could use the oven to quickly heat food, which turned into using the entire kitchen for prep - which was an inconvenience especially on the short notice, lots of people running in and out of the house that was meant to be a private and quiet area.
* We had to clean the kitchen after Elwood used it, food had been stepped on and was left on the ground. Also, when we were cleaning the yard we found serving gloves on the lawn.
* We had blocked off the front yard and driveway to keep people from driving on it, but the caterer drove the van around the block and onto our front lawn. Left ruts and divots and drove over drainage piping. Also meant we had to move our block to get them out without further damage.
* The bartender had unplugged our tent lighting to charge her phone
* Bartender left at 11:00, we confirmed on the phone that last call would be 11:45
* No garnishes for the bar as promised
* High quality cups promised for the bar, but paper cups were provided - we know that’s not a massive deal but we would’ve gone and bought better quality cups if we knew that it was going to be paper cups provided
* High quality 8’-0” bar quoted, but the bar set up was 4’-0” long
* Gluten free guests asked what was safe to eat and the staff didn’t know
* Eggplant parm was made but wasn’t served?
* Coffee creamer and milk were in open Tim Hortons cups with no labels, guests weren’t comfortable or confident to use them. Unsanitary and definitely doesn’t look good on us.
* Not necessarily an issue with the caterer, but we wouldn’t recommend renting your linens through them. When the caterer leaves around 10:00 they make quick work of moving guests things to the side and taking their tablecloths with them. We would have rented these through a different vendor if we had to do it again.
Elwood was open to discussing the issues and compensation, however ultimately we wouldn’t recommend them for your wedding. Maybe a party.

Wedding Menu Tasting
We couldn't be happier with our tasting in Lucas's kitchen! He was so charismatic, professional, and the food was INCREDIBLE! My fiance has severe food allergies and Lucas not only made sure to keep track of what allergens were in which foods (a regular standard in the food industry-i know) but he catered the menu to his needs! He did an excellent allergen-free menu for us, and we were blown away by the freshness and quality of every course. We will be booking Elwood for our wedding in April 2026, there is no competition in our eyes. I think a nice touch was it felt like we had a "lady and the tramp" moment where we got to see inside the kitchen where we had the meal at a little white table with roses and it was the coolest experience. Thank you so much Lucas, our guests will be very impressed!
