Delicious food, a custom-curated wedding day, and unmatched customer service!

We had the privilege of working with them for our wedding on May 19th, and everything was absolutely perfect - from the team, to the food, to the details & coordination, we couldn't have asked for a better catering team for our wedding.

From the moment we began wedding planning, Bourassa stood out above all other vendors. The kindness and excitement that the team exudes is contagious, and unmatched in the wedding industry. Nikki celebrated WITH us during the most exciting time of our life, and I truly looked forward to our check-ins. By the time our wedding rolled around, Nikki, Joe & John started to feel more like friends than vendors.

The most stand-out thing about the Bourassa team is the level of customization and care that goes into each wedding.

During our tasting, I mentioned that my grandfather (who we unfortunately lost several years ago) was a hot dog aficionado and would frequently visit a nearby hot dog joint. I asked if there was any way we could honor him by having hot dogs as the late night snack option. Upon hearing his, Joe & Nikki sprang into action - researching this particular restaurant's hot dogs and going above and beyond to try and replicate the exact hot dogs that my grandfather loved so much. Seeing his absolute favorite food there at our wedding meant more to my family and I than I can put into words. A small ode to him that we will cherish forever, and we are so grateful to the Bourassa team for giving this to us.

As if that wasn't enough, my husband had his heart set on including his favorite cocktail from a restaurant in our hometown as his signature cocktail for our wedding. Although it was complicated, Joe worked with us to craft the perfect iteration of this cocktail - from the taste to the presentation - and it was executed flawlessly. Guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was and how friendly all of the catering staff were.

I could go on and on about this team's professionalism, talent & good vibes. We are so, so happy to have shared our special day with Bourassa!

Excellent!

Bourassa did an excellent job catering our wedding, and was such a perfect fit for us! We were nervous we would not be able to find a caterer at a reasonable price since most of the guests on my side were vegetarian, but the Bourassa team worked with us to create a completely customized menu with fully vegetarian stations (Indian, Mexican, Italian) while also having a carving station for meat- and everything was delicious! Nikki and Joe were both very kind and professional throughout the process, such a pleasure to work with. This was also their first time catering at our wedding venue, and Nikki worked with our planner to make sure everything would fall into place logistically and run smoothly. Highly recommended!
