The Fyrestoke Wedding Guarantees

Clear Promises. Defined Remedies.

Your wedding meal should arrive on time, feed every confirmed guest, and run as agreed. When something within our control falls short, the affected service receives a clear remedy.

On-Time Team Arrival

Our arrival and setup window is confirmed with your venue and vendor team before the wedding.

Our Remedy: If we arrive more than 30 minutes late for a reason within our control and it affects setup or service, up to $250 of affected setup labour is refunded.

Dinner Timing

We coordinate the meal timeline so dinner is ready to begin at the confirmed time.

Our Remedy: If dinner begins more than 30 minutes late solely because Fyrestoke was not ready after the venue, couple, and required vendors were ready, up to $250 of affected service labour is refunded.

Enough Food

Portions are planned around your final confirmed guest count.

Our Remedy: If a core item runs out before first servings because of our production or portioning error, its per-guest value is refunded for the affected guests.

Dietary Accuracy

Accepted dietary meals are included and identified for the agreed guest or table.

Our Remedy: An omitted or incorrect documented dietary meal is replaced when possible and refunded.

Contracted Staffing

The agreed staffing roles and hours are scheduled for setup, service, guest care, and clearing.

Our Remedy: If contracted coverage is not provided or suitably replaced, the value of the missing staff hours is refunded.

Complete Service

We complete the setup, presentation, replenishment, dietary guidance, clearing, and cleanup listed in your agreement.

Our Remedy: A contracted responsibility that is not completed and cannot be corrected during the wedding is refunded at the affected service value.

You Should Enjoy Your Wedding—not Manage Dinner. Your menu, timing, staffing, dietary needs, and service responsibilities are confirmed in writing before the wedding.

Plan Your Wedding With Us

Guarantees apply to the final confirmed guest count, menu, timeline, staffing, venue access, and written service scope. Remedies apply only to the affected item, meal, labour, fee, or service component. Client, venue, planner, or vendor delays; timeline changes; unavailable access; late or inaccurate information; additional guests; severe weather; emergencies; road closures; utility failures; fire restrictions; and other circumstances beyond Fyrestoke’s reasonable control are excluded. Concerns must be reported within 72 hours. Final terms appear in the signed agreement.

Common Questions

What You May Be Wondering

How much does Fyrestoke catering cost?

Pricing depends on your guest count, menu, service style, staffing, location, and event logistics. Once we understand your event, we will recommend the appropriate experience and provide a clear custom proposal.

Can you accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions?

Yes. Dietary needs are considered during menu planning rather than treated as an afterthought. We work with you to create appropriate options while maintaining the quality and presentation of the overall meal.

Do you provide staffing, setup, service, and cleanup?

Depending on the service you select, Fyrestoke can manage setup, chefs, service staff, buffet flow, clearing, and cleanup. Your proposal will clearly explain what is included so there are no surprises.

Where are you located, and how far do you travel?

Fyrestoke is based in Peterborough, Ontario, and serves the Kawarthas, Central Ontario, and surrounding regions. Travel outside our usual service area can be discussed depending on the event.

How far in advance should we book?

Earlier is better, particularly for weddings, weekends, and peak-season dates. We accept a limited number of events so that every booking receives the planning and attention it requires.

What happens during rain, fire restrictions, or venue limitations?

Weather, fire rules, and venue requirements are considered during planning. When restrictions apply, we adapt the setup and cooking method using suitable equipment and backup procedures so service remains safe and on schedule.
