We are all pleased with the way Chef prepared the meal for us, he is very attentive, professional and my fiance's family loved him. It is really a good experience to have him.The foods are amazing,and we are overwhelmingly pleased with the whole experience. We cannot wait for the wedding day to come and have him as a Chef and have his team to cater our wedding.

Everything was perfect!
Planning a wedding is the worst! It's so stressful and you're constantly wondering if you're guests will enjoy themselves. With Bob as my caterer, I'm not worried at all! It was the greatest pleasure to have him in my home for a tasting for my wedding. The presentation was beautiful, perfect for my venue and date, and the food was so good! They were so polite and comfortable and they made me comfortable being in my home. I can't wait till my wedding to eat more!

More than I was expecting!
Chef Bob & his team are absolutely incredible. He catered our wedding & from day one he was so responsive, friendly & organized. He thought of things that I didn’t think of. He was extremely flexible with all of my COVID changes, going from 175 people to 50 to 25, he didn’t bat an eye, even two weeks before when we completely changed venues, he had no problem with that & made it work perfectly. He came with bartenders as well which was an added bonus! Highly highly recommend hiring Bob for any party you have. We look forward to working with him in the future! Don’t look any further than Bob, you won’t regret it!

Our dinner was fantastic!!!
We hired Bob for our wedding reception and the dinner was fantastic! All our guests raved about the food - one of our guests actually went to the kitchen to look for Bob, to personally thank him for the amazing vegan tart he prepared! The hors d'oeuvres, main courses, and late night snacks were delicious and beautifully plated - it was truly a memorable dinner. Aside from the delicious food, Bob is an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very helpful throughout the entire planning process, very flexible, and always responsive. We couldn't be more thankful for all his patience, dedication, professionalism, and of course - the wonderful meal.

A bride-to-be's dream!
A huge THANK YOU to Chef Bob Friesen and his team at Gourmet Chef At Your Table. He is more than just a caterer - he is an event planner! Not only did he carefully prepare the delicious hors d’oeuvres for our wedding, he also provided the linens, glassware and cutlery, as well as the servers and the bartenders we needed to complete our event. Over many calls and emails, Bob showed that he was professional, attentive, organized, helpful, caring and had a great sense of humour – basically a bride-to-be’s dream! All of our guests raved about wonderful food and service that he and his team provided. It was a pleasure to work with Gourmet Chef At Your Table and I would highly recommend them for any occasion.
