Your details have been sent to the Northern Guild team. We'll follow up if we have any questions.
Staff typically required on event day: an Event Manager, chefs, kitchen hands, and service staff. Your coordinator will include staffing estimates with any proposal.
The service fee covers operational services. Staff receive premium hourly wages; additional tips are discretionary and can be given during or after the event (contact your coordinator).
Locations outside the TTC service area are subject to additional transportation fees. Events outside Toronto are subject to delivery & travel time pay.
Appetizer service typically runs 1–2 hours depending on guest count and timeline. We guarantee one of each appetizer per guest, with extra prepared (approx. 8+ bites per person).
Vegan options are provided complimentary at all events. Because everything is made from scratch, we can easily accommodate allergies and restrictions when informed in advance — just let us know on this form or with your coordinator.
Northern Guild provides full-service rentals planning and will coordinate with your planner to ensure your rentals order is correct. Rental costs are not included in your catering quote — we can give you reference figures, but costs vary by guest count and service style. After your menu is finalized, a rental list is created and estimates are obtained from one of our rentals partners for your review and final approval.
Important: once your rentals order is placed, Northern Guild is the sole point of contact with your chosen rentals company for that order. Please route any changes — through yourself or your planner — to Northern Guild by email only, so nothing gets altered or dropped from your order without our sign-off.
Our team plans setup and teardown windows around your specific timeline — your Event Manager will confirm exact arrival and wrap times as your date approaches. If your event is outdoors, please have a rain/weather contingency in place (see the Venue section above); we'll plan around it together.
Tastings are held Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday at 7:00 PM at our kitchen (1311 Queen St. East, Unit 5, Toronto). Your final guest count is due six (6) business days before your event date — after that, we'll do our best to accommodate increases, but the final count cannot decrease. Let us know above if you need kids' meals or vendor meals accounted for.
