Professional Chinese catering team!

Roger and Harvey from Rovey Catering had been a pleasure to work with since the very beginning. Prior to our menu tasting, Harvey was our main point of contact via email. He had always been helpful and prompt with his responses to any questions we had, making it very easy to communicate with him.

When we met in person for the tasting, Roger accompanied us and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for us and our parents. We were impressed not only with the food quality, but also with Roger's patience and knowledge. He was extremely detail-oriented and even gave us a lot of tips and reminders on other aspects of our wedding planning.

We were lucky to have both Harvey and Roger present on our wedding day to assist with coordination between their catering team and our venue staff and wedding MC. Although our reception rundown was a little behind schedule, the flow of the night was still very smooth. The food was fresh and delicious as expected and Rovey's servers were friendly and courteous.

We would highly recommend Rovey Catering to any couple looking to have a Chinese banquet at their wedding. You will not be disappointed!

What a great team! Delicious meal for all :)

We have been to countless weddings where it’s always been the typical steak or salmon dinners that were nothing to write home about. We wanted something different... something that would show our guests how much we love good food and that’s when we found Rovey Catering.

From the first day of planning to the night of the reception, Harvey and Roger were very flexible to our needs and preferences by letting us customize the menu exactly how we wanted. During the menu tasting, they made sure to listen to any feedback any of us had for every course so they could adjust it accordingly for the wedding day.

During our reception, all our guests would not stop raving about the quality of the food as well as the service; even saying how it was the best wedding meal they've ever had. We wholeheartedly agree with them. All twelve courses were phenomenal and there was more than enough to eat for all our guests. In fact, there were many who were full half way through the meal!

Harvey, Roger, and staff are all very professional, attentive, and pleasant to deal with. There’s a reason why they are considered the best Chinese catering service. We highly recommend Rovey Catering if you want an amazing dining experience for your guests!

Guild Inn Wedding - Sept 2018

It was very important for us to have a traditional chinese wedding banquet, and our venue the Guild Inn set us up with Rovey, who did a fantastic job.

The quality of the food was excellent, and on par with any wedding I've been to, and they were extremely professional from start to finish. They have a lot of options, so if you want to make adjustments (eg. no shark fin, or different type of crab claw etc) they are amenable. They also have gluten and lactose free options for your guests, which was appreciated.

The servers were also really nice, especially the ones that served the head table. They made sure my wife and I were able to enjoy our meal (as much as possible at least!) and made sure that any extra portions were given to us or our bridal party and not wasted! (which always bugs me haha) Also they coordinate with your planner so that the service flows with your schedule (eg. for games and slideshows and speeches) which I thought was really nice too.

Their servers also went the extra mile and helped us set up the tea ceremony, as we didn't have a lot of experience, and showed us how to properly do it.

Also Roger and Harvey were present and made sure everything went smoothly and overall I cannot say enough nice things, except to wholly recommend their services.

Rovey Catering delivered service that was beyond our expectations. Harvey was very flexible in catering to our needs and preferences. Roger was attentive throughtout the night of the wedding. He came to check on us many times to make sure things were going smoothly. The food was delicious and the quality was consistent with what we had at the tasting. Portions were large and many of our guests left with bellies full of happiness. I highly recommend Rovey Catering for all your Chinese catering needs. You won't be disappointed!

Exceptional and memorable

The Rovey team is truly exceptional. Harvey was a pleasure to work with since day one. He was responsive during the planning process and always took the time to answer my questions. We appreciated how flexible and accommodating he was to our schedule. Harvey clearly indicated what to expect during our dinner service, but what we experienced was beyond expectations. Harvey, Roger and their team were friendly and attentive. Our guests were highly impressed with the quality of customer service and more importantly, they raved about how delicious the food was. Each dish was prepared fresh and served with pride. I highly recommend booking Rovey Catering for your wedding and all of your milestone events.

Amazing wedding catering team!

Harvey and Roger as well as their team did a fantastic job on our wedding day. The food was fresh and tasty as expected. They were really flexible to our adjustment (replacing the shark fin soup, having other options for the size of the roasted pig…). Our guests loved the food. Many of our non-Asian guests were amaze and hear numerous compliments.
In addition, Rovey's servers were friendly and courteous. We were really satisfied with their food and service.
We highly recommend Rovey Catering!!!

Perfect wedding catering experience - you will not be disappointed!

We had a perfect experience working with Harvey and Roger, and loved the wonderful reception dinner catered by their team. The food was absolutely incredible and was definitely one of the top highlights of the wedding!

The feedback from our family and friends was almost unanimous that the dinner was the best that they have ever had at a wedding. A number of our friends have never had Chinese banquet food before (some have never even had Chinese food before at all), and emphasized to us how much they loved the experience. It was a privilege to have both Harvey and Roger present on our wedding day to assist with coordination - the timing for everything was great. The serving team was patient, kind, efficient and always helped us with a smile.

We loved what we could eat on the day of, and very much enjoyed having the leftovers the next day. We're hoping one of our family/friends will hire Rovey for their next big event so we can enjoy the meal as guests next time :)

We are beyond thrilled with our experience. The service is consistently prompt, accommodating, professional, and courteous. Harvey and Roger were very flexible with adjusting our menu and provided a lot of helpful advice and feedback along the way. The execution of the food has been flawless from our tasting in January 2020 to our wedding in August 2021. Having both lived in Hong Kong, we already had an idea about many of the dishes but we sincerely believe that Rovey's version of those dishes is better than anything that we've ever had in Hong Kong.

It is truly our pleasure to share this feedback and we are already looking forward to working with Rovey again in the future!

Rovey was the designated Chinese caterer for my venue. The food tasted great, and definitely the best tasting Chinese caterer in Toronto. The drawbacks? They are not responsive until maybe the week leading up to the wedding. Service/execution the day of was also less than acceptable. I heard complaints from guest that servers were not serving all the food allocated to the table and not everyone had enough to eat. Where the extras went, I'm not sure. One guest did not receive the last 3 courses of the meal. My guests were too polite to complain about it the day of, so I would recommend you tell your guests to speak up if something goes wrong the day of, because they definitely won't do anything about it afterwards.

Rovey Service Group Inc.'s reply:

Hi Mary and Robert,

I'm sorry for your disappointment.

First of all, I apologize for being non responsive. I believe during the last 2 weeks of the wedding, I've been communicating with your wedding planner Envision. I think I have answered her questions in timely manner except for the agenda. It was why we have that many versions BEO. However, I have to admit it took me close to 24 hours to respond. I'll definitely work on during busy time.

Upon seeing this review, I did a thorough review with all the supervisors but can't find out why someone would have missed the last 3 courses (Rice, Noodle, and dessert). As we are doing French service with servers going around the table, it will be very obvious when someone did not get served. The only reason I can think will be the guest wasn't at their seat during the service of those courses, and the server thought the guest was gone.

For not enough to eat, that's an odd complaint we received, as we always have guests telling us it's too much food. For the first 5 courses, everyone is getting 1 piece person, and our crab claws are extra large. Lobster, chicken, and fish are the regular 3.5 lb size. While I was kitchen, I don't see extra food coming back except for Rice and Noodle, which is normal. I also see plates of additional serving in the middle of tables until dessert was cleared. I was standing at the end of the hall while fish was being served and I saw guests telling servers for a smaller piece. It is why I didn't question when I saw some rice and noodle coming back. The only person that I feel did not have enough to eat might be the vendors and they are only getting a 1 plate big main course.

Nonetheless, I'm sorry there isn't much I can do at this point. Since you are the second member of the family that I'm doing the wedding, I can offer a discount on the menu to any family remember of yours booking with us for their weddings. Hope it can make it up to you.

We apologize once again.

Harvey was very pleasant and helpful to deal with. He was very accommodating to our needs and answered every question we had. The food on the day of the wedding tasted exactly how it tasted on our menu tasting. It was delicious and everyone was impressed! The quality and quantity of food was amazing! Portions were huge so people did not feel hungry after dinner. Harvey even upgraded a few items on the menu free of charge! I highly recommend the Rovey team as they are experienced and the best in the Chinese catering business.
