About

Farm to table is at the heart of everything we do.

We believe weddings deserve food that feels as personal and memorable as the day itself. Our catering style is rooted in intimacy — creating menus that bring people together, celebrate the season, and showcase the best ingredients from trusted local farmers.

Based in Fort Assiniboine, Alberta, Gems Cafe & Bistro specializes in wedding catering that goes far beyond the ordinary. From abundant buffets and signature meat & seafood platters to elegant hors d’oeuvres, charcuterie spreads, seated dinners, and guided tasting menus, we design experiences that reflect your vision and delight your guests.

We love weddings and are always willing to travel to be part of your celebration. With nearly half of our 2026 wedding season already booked, we’re still welcoming boutique weddings that value thoughtful food and meaningful connection.

Our team brings experience in farm weddings, mobile kitchen setups, and crafting outstanding menus even in resource‑limited settings. Whether your day is rustic, refined, or somewhere in between, we’ll ensure the food is as unforgettable as the occasion itself.
