About OH!
Serious about the table.
Light about everything else.
OH! is styled celebration catering in Ottawa. We plan one abundant share table around your guest count, prepare it for your date, and compose it in your space so the room is finished before the doorbell goes.
How it works
One table, built for your room.
Delivered and composed on site.
Every event starts with four details: the date, the guest count, the neighbourhood and what the table is doing — grazing before dinner, standing in for the meal, or carrying a brunch through the morning. Those four answers set the format, the quantities and the length of table you will need.
OH! is a service-area business in Ottawa. Food is prepared in a rented commercial kitchen in Ottawa, then delivered and composed on the table in your space. There is no storefront and no public address. We arrive with the food, the boards and the serving pieces, build the display on your surface, and leave it guest-ready. The format suits roughly 12 to 50 guests in houses, condo party rooms, back gardens, community halls and offices.
Two to four weeks is a comfortable planning window for a styled table. December dates, long-weekend Saturdays and shower season fill earliest, and short-notice weekday events are always worth asking about.
We answer every enquiry within one business day, and the reply names the next step and the date being held while we talk.
The name
OH can mean
a lot of things.
Open-hearted hosting. The point of a table is connection, so the food is laid out to be reached for and shared.
One considered table. Food with enough personality to feel special and enough familiarity that everyone finds something they want.
Off the host’s plate. The planning, the shopping, the prep, the setup and the styling all sit with us, so the last hour before guests arrive belongs to you.
And then there is the simplest meaning: OH! — the reaction we are designing for.
What it costs
The numbers, up front.
Before you ask for them.
Styled tables start at $42 per guest, plus applicable taxes, and the working range runs $42–$65 per guest, with the top of it being tables that replace a meal. Your quote is built from four things: guest count, table format, how long the event runs and the setup the room needs, and it separates food, styling and delivery so each part of the number is visible.
The event minimum is $600 before delivery and taxes. Delivery and on-site styling are $45 within 25 km of the kitchen. A worked example and the full deposit, final-count and cancellation terms sit on the pricing page.
Where we work
Ottawa, and the way each part of it loads in.
We serve the City of Ottawa, Ontario. Kanata, Stittsville, Nepean, Barrhaven, Westboro, the central neighbourhoods, Orléans, Manotick and Riverside South sit inside the standard delivery area, where delivery and on-site styling are $45. Past 25 km the delivery charge is quoted for your address and appears on the quote before you book.
A downtown condo with a booked service elevator, a Kanata driveway with a kitchen island waiting, and a community hall with a two-hour rental block before the guests arrive are three different builds. Tell us which one you have and the setup plan comes back with the quote.
Straight answers
What we can do,
and what we cannot.
OH! works out of a rented licensed commercial kitchen in Ottawa. There is no liability policy in OH!'s own name today, so a venue-specific certificate of insurance is something we cannot supply. Venues in Ottawa routinely ask suppliers for one, so raise it with us early and you get a straight answer for your date and venue in writing.
Share dietary preferences and allergy information when you enquire. We plan suitable choices and label the table clearly. For severe or life-threatening allergies we talk through cross-contact before you book, and we cannot guarantee allergen-free preparation on a shared table.
OH! is new. There is no wall of reviews here and no gallery of past events, because the photography on this site was generated to show the style we build toward. The first tables we style for Ottawa hosts are the ones that will replace it.
