As a bride begins to plan the wedding of her dreams, attention soon turns to the menu. Following the ceremony, a fabulous reception is number on in her thoughts, and thoughtful planning ensures a party to satisfy her every wish.

Bert's Catering can help. For 23 years, owners Bert and Diane Ponte have been busy making brides happy. From tantalizing Portuguese cuisine to gourmet appetizers and succulent desserts, they take the time to help couples create a menu to best suit the wedding budget and their dining preferences. Buffets are especially popular to satisfy every taste.

Specialty menus, including ethnic or vegetarian choices, are served in style along with an a la carte menu. Many brides gain bragging rights for choosing 'Bert's chicken,' a crowd-pleasing entree featuring a delicious chicken breast stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, rice and basil.

Fabulous fare is easily delivered to any venue, including clubs, halls, private homes or whimsical outdoor weddings under a tent. Bert's Catering also offers a private banquet facility conveniently located at 319 Montreal Street. Just minutes from the downtown core, seating for 50 guests accommodates intimate weddings, bridal showers or rehearsal dinners.

In addition to their full service catering, Bert's Catering offers complete packages to make every wedding reception memorable. Beautiful linens and china are provided as well as a selection of table and hall decor. For brides seeking a specific specialty item, the experienced company can assist in locating elegant chair covers or a brilliant baker to create the perfect cake. The staff are more than delighted to put on a show for you once in a lifetime occasion.

No wedding would be complete without a chocolate fountain fantasy. The owners were inspired to add a selection of delicious fresh fruits and bite-sized pastries for decadent dipping as the perfect ending for your perfect day.

Your wedding day should be magical. Leave all worries behind and let Bert's Catering create a celebration to remember.
