What Is Full-Service Catering?
Full-service catering is event food service that covers the entire guest experience, not just the dishes themselves. At Sunrise Café & Bistro, that means menu planning during a free chef consultation, same-day food preparation, delivery, on-site setup, Smart Serve certified serving staff, and full cleanup after your event ends. This differs from drop-off catering, which delivers trays but leaves setup, service and cleanup to the host. Full-service catering suits weddings, corporate functions and milestone celebrations of 20 to 300+ guests, and typically includes front-of-house service such as plated courses, banquet-style buffets, or an interactive live cooking station with an onsite executive chef. If you are planning an event of 50 guests or more, you should request a free consultation early, since full-service bookings — especially wedding packages — are often confirmed several months ahead.

Wedding Package Comparison
Smaller, budget-conscious gatherings under 20 guests can sometimes be handled with self-serve platters or a simple drop-off order. Once a guest list passes 80 people, full-service catering becomes the more practical choice. However, most hosts find it is for most occasions. This guest count is also the threshold for our smallest wedding package below. In fact, an onsite chef is often more cost-effective and far less stressful than coordinating food, staffing and cleanup themselves.

Catering FAQ
Does Sunrise Café & Bistro cater weddings?
Yes. We offer three wedding catering packages for 80 to 150+ guests, each including an onsite chef with live cooking stations. Custom packages are also available.
What areas do you serve?
We cater events across Stouffville, Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, including Burlington, Oshawa and Barrie.
Is the chef consultation free?
Yes, every booking starts with a free, no-obligation consultation to build a menu around your event, guest count and budget.
Can menus be customized for dietary requirements?
Yes, every menu is built from scratch around your guests' preferences and dietary requirements. Just let our team know when you book your consultation.
Why choose full-service catering instead of self-catering?
Full-service catering removes the shopping, cooking, staffing and cleanup burden from the host. For events of 80 guests or more, our team's onsite chefs typically cost less per guest. The same applies to Smart Serve certified servers and equipment rentals. In addition, this is far simpler than piecing together a self-catered event of the same size.
When should I book catering?
Therefore, contact us as soon as your date is set. Weddings and large corporate events are typically booked several months ahead. However, smaller gatherings can often be arranged with a few weeks' notice depending on availability.
Who prepares the food at Sunrise Café & Bistro catered events?
An onsite executive chef prepares your menu fresh, either at our kitchen or live at your venue depending on the service style you choose. Owner Sophia personally reviews every catering menu before your event.
Why Choose Sunrise Café & Bistro for Your Event?
For small, casual gatherings under 20 guests, a self-serve platter order is often enough. However, for weddings, corporate functions and milestone celebrations of 50 guests or more, we recommend full-service catering with an onsite chef — it is typically more cost-effective and far less stressful than self-catering at that scale. If your event fits one of our 3 wedding packages (80, 100 or 150+ guests) or spans any of our 8 catering menu categories, start with a free, no-obligation chef consultation. You should book early for weddings and large corporate events, since those dates are typically confirmed several months in advance.
