Styled celebration catering in Gatineau, Quebec
Gatineau, Quebec sits across the Ottawa River from downtown Ottawa, and a table there is the same table as one in Centretown with a bridge in the middle of the drive. Hull and the island face Parliament across the water and hold the federal towers at Place du Portage and the Terrasses de la Chaudière; the Plateau and Mont-Bleu are newer family neighbourhoods up the hill; Aylmer runs west along the river with older houses and long lots; the Gatineau sector spreads east along the A-50. OH! delivers and builds on both sides of the river, with the same fee, the same minimum and the same quote.
01
One river, four bridges, one quote
A Gatineau delivery crosses at the Portage, the Chaudière, the Macdonald-Cartier or the Champlain bridge, whichever the address and the hour make shortest. Hull and the island sit close to downtown Ottawa, often closer than Kanata or Orléans, so most Gatineau addresses fall comfortably inside the 25 km radius. Delivery and on-site styling are $45 within 25 km. Past that, the charge is quoted for your address before you book.
02
Federal towers in Hull
Place du Portage and the Terrasses de la Chaudière hold thousands of public servants, and a holiday table or a year-end gathering there runs the way a downtown tower does: a security desk that signs suppliers in, sometimes a name submitted ahead, a loading door or a service elevator to book, and a meeting room held for a fixed hour. Send the building, the entrance to use and the name of the person who will meet us, and the arrival time on the quote allows for the sign-in. Our government catering page covers how public-service teams usually organise and pay for the table.
03
Houses on the Plateau, in Aylmer and in the east
Up the hill on the Plateau and in Mont-Bleu the housing is newer, with open kitchens, long islands and a garage a few steps from the door, the easiest carry on this page. Aylmer and Deschênes hold older houses on longer lots, some with a dining room sized for a family Sunday and a step or two at the door. The Gatineau sector, Limbour and Touraine run on split-levels and finished basements, where the party often happens downstairs. Tell us which floor the table stands on and send its length, and the build is planned before we cross the river.
04
Cards a mixed guest list can read
Most Gatineau guest lists are French first and many are mixed. The printed parts of a table are the plain names and the dietary marks on the cards, so tell us at the enquiry which language your guests read, and we will tell you what we can set the cards in for your date. A card a guest can read is the practical half of dietary planning.
05
What Gatineau puts a table out for
Birthdays and family parties at home, baptisms and first communions, retirements and send-offs in a federal office, the December holiday table for a team, and the year-end gathering before March 31. All of them fit a styled share table built in the room, for roughly the same guest counts as anywhere in Ottawa, and our party catering page sets out how that table works at home.
06
The edges of the radius
Hull, the island, the Plateau and the near part of Aylmer sit well inside 25 km. The far west of Aylmer, Buckingham and Masson-Angers are the addresses we check against the radius before quoting, and past 25 km the travel line is quoted for your address and sits on the quote before you book. The event minimum is $600 before delivery and taxes.
07
What comes next
Three pages carry what comes next. The numbers sit on catering prices and terms, the sequence from first message to pack-down is written out on how it works, and when you are ready to plan your table the form asks for a date, a guest count and the room. Every neighbourhood we drive to is listed on one page of Ottawa service areas.
Yes. OH! delivers and builds styled tables in Gatineau as well as in Ottawa: Hull and the island, the Plateau and Mont-Bleu, Aylmer and the Gatineau sector. 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. The cooking happens before we load; what happens at your address is the build, timed to finish before your first guest arrives.
What does delivery to Gatineau cost?
Delivery and on-site styling are $45 within the 25 km radius on both sides of the river, the same as in Ottawa, and most Gatineau addresses sit inside it. The far west of Aylmer, Buckingham and Masson-Angers are checked before quoting, and past 25 km the charge is quoted for your address before you book. The event minimum is $600 before delivery and taxes.
How does a delivery to a federal building in Hull work?
The same way as a downtown Ottawa tower. Send the building, the entrance or loading door, whether the service elevator needs booking and the name of the person meeting us, and the arrival time on the quote allows for the security sign-in. The build then takes 45 to 90 minutes in the room.
