Why Kamloops Couples Trust Us with Their Wedding Day

Over 500 Weddings with Overwhelmingly 5-Star Reviews

Imagine the irresistible aroma of perfectly seasoned roast beef, the sight of beautifully plated appetizers that make your guests reach for their cameras, and the sound of "Wow, this is the best wedding food I've ever had" echoing across your reception. 

This is the experience we've been delivering to couples across Kamloops, the Thompson-Shuswap, and the Cariboo since 2009. At Nourishing Gourmet, we're not just caterers—we're part of your story, your celebration, and your community.

The Numbers Tell Our Story 

Since opening our doors in 2009, we've had the incredible privilege of catering over 500 weddings throughout the Kamloops area. We're proud of the consistent 5-star reviews our couples leave us—that's not luck, it's the result of relentless attention to detail, a commitment to quality, and a genuine passion for making your day unforgettable. 

We've served more than 150,000 guests at over 5,000 events, but weddings remain close to our hearts. There's something magical about being part of a couple's most important day, and we take that responsibility seriously.

What Sets Nourishing Gourmet Apart 

We Take the Extra Time 

Our Red Seal Chef, Sameena Sandhu, has spent over 30 years perfecting her craft. She's dedicated more than a decade to developing the perfect beef rub—one that gives our roast beef a depth of flavor that guests rave about. Her chicken marinade? Nearly two decades in the making, delivering boldness and tenderness in every bite. 

We don't cut corners. We take the extra time to season things properly, to source the freshest local ingredients, and to make every dish look as beautiful as it tastes. That's what creates the "wow factor" our couples talk about long after the wedding day. 

Fresh, Local Ingredients Make All the Difference 

"Fresh is best," Sameena insists. "When you use local ingredients, you're supporting our farmers, but it's also great for cooking because local produce is simply more beautiful, more delicious, and more nutritious." 

We source from the Kamloops Farmers Market and trusted local suppliers, ensuring every ingredient meets our high standards. This commitment to quality shows in every bite—and your guests will absolutely notice.

Presentation That Stops Guests in Their Tracks 

Our food displays aren't just beautiful—they're conversation starters. We design stunning presentations that reflect your wedding style and create those photo-worthy moments. From gourmet charcuterie boards to perfectly plated dinners to vibrant vegetable displays, every element is crafted to delight the eye and the palate. 

Three Catering Options to Match Your Vision 

Every wedding is unique, and your catering should reflect your style and budget. That's why we offer three flexible service levels: 

1. Drop-Off Service 

Perfect for intimate gatherings or budget-conscious couples. We deliver restaurant-quality food ready to serve, complete with all the professional equipment needed to keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Everything tastes exactly as intended—you just don't need the full staff on-site. 

2. Personal Chef Service

Our chef comes to your venue to prepare and serve your meal on-site, managing the food presentation and timing so you can focus on celebrating. You get professional culinary expertise, ensuring everything is perfect, without the full wait staff. 

3. Full-Service Catering with Chefs and Wait Staff 

The complete wedding catering experience. Our team handles everything from setup to service to cleanup. Your guests receive white-glove treatment, and you enjoy every moment worry-free. This is our most popular option for couples who want to be fully present on their special day.

We proudly serve the entire Thompson-Shuswap-Cariboo region, traveling up to two hours from downtown Kamloops. Whether you're getting married at Sun Peaks, Barriere, Chase, Sorrento, Blind Bay, Salmon Arm, Cache Creek, or Merritt—we'll be there. 

Our mobile setup means we can create the same exceptional experience anywhere. We even have a food truck available for unique, interactive catering that brings fresh, vibrant flavors right to your outdoor celebration.
