OPUS was awarded the catering contract for the gala portion of the evening, and serviced more than 700 of Vancouver’s most discerning guests in one of the most challenging settings. From the very beginning of the planning process, OPUS understood the significant scope of the project and approached it with professionalism and flexibility, a balance which is not easy to achieve. OPUS assembled a multitude of professional staff, and catered multiple levels from multiple entry points, and also serviced multiple bars, managing hundreds of guests. In addition an exceptional level of service, the Chef’s prepared an exceptionally pleasing array of canapés while still working within the constraints of a limited budget.

As the key games sponsor for the 2010 Olympics, the Royal Bank has many events in the city. We are always looking for companies of high quality to align ourselves with. The opportunity to work with OPUS Catering for our 2009 Annual General Meeting was the first chance we had to work together. OPUS Catering met our every need and was exceptionally flexible in our changing requirements. The staff were professional and friendly, the food was beautiful and tasted incredible, and they went above and beyond our expectations with their presentations and level of service. Many of our guests commented that it was the best event they had attended. We would not hesitate to use OPUS Catering in the future, and would recommend their services to anyone looking for a wow experience.

Thank you so much for the beautiful event you and your staff catered for us. The food was excellent, the decor was beautiful, and the service was professional, elegant, and attentive. The food that was offered through OPUS Catering was some of the best food I've had in my life and far exceeded our expectations. Every morsel was tasty, elegant and beautiful, and was the subject of much conversation. I would strongly recommend OPUS Catering to our family and friends and anyone else holding a cocktail reception for their wedding, Christmas Party, or other event. We appreciate how easily and competently you and your staff dealt with every detail of the evening before, during, and after the event.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Laura Selman, Offsite Catering Manager at OPUS Hotel Vancouver. Laura followed up persistently for one full year before successfully securing a catering contract with MCL Motor Cars. She was very professional. We were never pressured by her efforts and she managed to stay top-of-mind as a caterer of choice. The things that impress me most about Laura were her ability to stay calm under pressure, her sense of resourcefulness, and the ability to work with any reasonable budget to produce a high-caliber event. One easily observes Laura being in her element during an event. Her entire team is well-coordinated and as a result, compliments flowed from our guests about the food service they experienced and enjoyed. Her consistent sense of urgency was of great assistance to me while executing a product launch for the new Porsche Cayenne in July 2010. I highly recommend Laura Selman and OPUS Catering for your next event.

We selected OPUS Hotels to cater our highly exclusive BMW 7 Series Launch Event in Vancouver. The selection of canapés impressed even our most fastidious guests. It was particularly important that the food compliment the level of exclusivity of our event. OPUS was able to deliver an eclectic array of canapés and truly exceeded our expectations. We will definitely look to OPUS Hotels for catering at future events.

The G8/G20 took considerable months to plan and execute, but without your assistance in helping Ontario Tourism Marketing Corporation, the event would not have been as successful or possible. Your attention to detail and sharing your knowledge and expertise allowed us to have a very successful event. Thank you for your patience, we dealt with a multitude of partners and you kept us on track to meet our deadlines and commitment for the G8/G20.

OPUS Catering is a highly professional and distinctive catering company. After producing an event this year and having OPUS Catering manage the food and beverage, I can attest to the high quality of food and service that was both promised and delivered. OPUS Catering provided superb cuisine for an elite crowd, upholding a level of sophistication and finesse. Their management of staff was professional, detail-oriented and a pleasure to work with. The service staff was efficient and discreet - a perfect combination for service at this type of event. Above all, the food was wonderfully prepared, perfectly suited to the overall atmosphere. Without hesitation, I can highly recommend OPUS Catering for other events. It was a delight to work with this catering company and its highly competent management staff.
