Setup
How does buffet setup work?
Included with every buffet
- Disposable catering trays
- Serving utensils
- Dish labels
- Hot delivery, set up for a self-serve line
Extra, quoted separately
- Plates, cutlery and napkins: $1 per guest
- Chafing equipment
- Serving staff and replenishment
- Requested setup beyond the basic line
- Delivery and 13% HST
Clear one table, or two for more than about 50 guests, before the delivery window. Grated cheese and chili flakes come separately, so leave room at the end of the line. Send parking, elevator and on-site contact details with your quote request; the written quote confirms the arrival window.
Choosing a format
Would a pasta bar suit your group instead?
Choose a buffet package when you want the group's pastas and mains selected in advance, with the salads, sides and dessert listed for that package. Two pasta selections split the pasta allowance; Celebration's two mains together make one combined main serving per guest.
The Build Your Own Pasta Bar is $17 per guest. Guests combine the included pastas, sauces and toppings at the self-serve line. See the pasta bar page for its full menu and sides; an attended station costs extra and must be confirmed.
