The event went very well. The service was on point and professional. Everything was set up per what we discussed punctually. Everyone from Bon Vivant was super helpful and not to mention the food was delicious. I particularly love the bar, it looked great and was exactly what I had in mind.

I have a ton of follow-up from the event today which was a resounding success. I'm going to save it all for Monday EXCEPT my email to you, to say that your staff are simply the best! What a joy to have around, to handle everything, and to take care of us and our folks. They are kind, gracious, helpful, and real. My kind of people. I'm buzzing from a lot of success, but they deserved the immediate kudos. Thank you!

Please pass on to Dino, Jho and Chris the biggest heartfelt thanks for last night.  Everything was perfect.  I mean perfect.  The food delicious!  The service impeccable and such lovely, interesting people Dino, Chris and Jho are.  Everything was seamless from the moment they arrived.  I only wished that there were leftovers… not that there was any reason for them but I just wanted more!  Thank you, thank you, thank you - you made the wedding a huge successful!

I would like to thank you and your team for the exceptional food and service you provided on Saturday. The birthday girl was and is SO happy. We have had many thank you 's with special note of the food. Kip and I are truly grateful for the clean up and removal of all of the bottles etc. We basically had nothing to do Sunday morning in way of tidying up. We had a few no shows so we a had a big family dinner Sunday night with the leftovers. Thank you again.

Wow, what a wonderful evening we had – Dino and the team were excellent. The food was great and the venue was a special opportunity for the group to enjoy such beautiful artwork. We are very happy and look forward to working with you again!


The event went so smoothly and we were so impressed with the entire team at Bon Vivant. The food was incredible. Both guests and lawyers raved about it. I was lucky to try almost everything and I do have to say that it really was amazing. I definitely will have to have you cater another event – we host SO many throughout the year. Our new Director of Business Development and Marketing attended the event. He is well versed with many catering companies and was delightfully impressed with your food too! Service was so great, everyone was so friendly, reliable, quick and I’d love to work with you again in future

Thanks you two so much for making our day so flawless. You definitely went above and beyond your catering services, you really helped run the show. Thanks so much for your help with the layout and help with the decorations, your advice was all spot on !!! Everyone loved the food, we were constantly complimented on how awesome your food was. And all your staff were excellent: the servers and bartenders could not have done a better job. Thanks again, you and your team were all amazing !!!

It was a wonderful evening. Dino outdid himself with some of the most delicious food I have ever had . The guests were raving about it the next day in the OR . I am so grateful and look forward to the next event. THANK YOU !!!

We are thrilled about how our party turned out last week and thankful for your role in that. As usual, the food was amazing, and more than that, Dino’s adage about pretending this is not our home so that we can enjoy without any inkling of responsibility is the true takeaway. I am beginning to think that Dino knows our kitchen as if it were his own - the organization, explanation for each course, and buoyant mood that Dino set last Saturday was fantastic.

Thanks to the both of you, and Olivia, for your efforts and success in making our party a wonderful evening for all!

We had an absolutely fantastic dinner last night!!! Thank you so much for organising and fitting us in short notice. It was one of the best dinners we have ever had and Dino was his usual fantastic self. I know the Kiwis thought it was amazing as well. It was another perfect evening from Bon Vivant.

Thank you SO much for your exquisite meal last Saturday to the Brown family- they were absolutely floored and loved it so much. They called Andrea to rave about the food, the catering, and even the delivery driver/gentleman that brought the food to the door. Its likely they will be calling you guys up themselves for their own services. Bon Vivant knocked it out of the park again!

A huge thank you for making Gabrielle and Piers’ wedding reception so wonderful. Your food was incredible —people were still raving about it the next evening! Maurice and I really appreciated your attention to detail and the effort you put into making the evening so stress free for us. Every one of your staff were warm, friendly and very professional—-what a pleasure! Our son commented that we would have to plan a big party once or twice a year from now on, just so we could have you cater it —you definitely have fans!! The entire family is now eagerly awaiting Sept.11th because we know your food will be absolutely delicious and the service will be wonderful. Many thanks!


We still can’t believe a Vancouver culinary legend catered our wedding. Thanks to you, your wife, and your wonderful team for providing us with plates of perfection on our wedding day. “A party without cake is just a meeting” -Julia Child

I have been using Dino Renaerts and the Bon Vivant Group for catering for more than 16 years. Dino and his crew are always reliable and professional; with them at the helm, I can relax and enjoy the event as much as the guests! Dino is versatile and has successfully catered small intinate dinners at our home, corporate events for us at Skinworks, as well as an annual all-day event on an island accessible only by boat - which p[roves he is a really good sport as well! Most importantly, Dino creastes delicious menus suited for the occasion and his knowledge of wines comes in handy when entertaining oenophiles. I highly recommend the Bon Vivant Group!

I just have to write you a note to say your contributions to a hugely successful birthday party for my wife were absolutely outstanding. First of all, Nessa, all the "back room stuff" was so well organized; I just knew that everything would be looked after properly. And Dino, what a fantastic spread you prepared for us - you earned rave reviews from all the family. And thanks to Steve and Ann who were part of the team that made everything work so well. Thank you all for helping make this a great celebration!

You handled the Rehearsal Dinner, the Wedding, and the Brunch with such professionalism and poise that we could hardly believe you and the staff were there. Everything was done so easily and so well. The food was extremely well presented, creative and delicious. Our guests have raved about the ambiance, the food, and how seamlessly the event came off…”

“…We have regularly benefited from the quality and service at various events on the 36th and other floors of the RBC building. However, the services provided at our October team meeting were truly outstanding. We had a team of individuals from across the country which your team catered with ‘outstanding food’, to quote several of the team members. This was not an easy achievement, given the dietary concerns that you were asked to cater to, on very short notice, even on the same day. Your responsiveness was exceptional and provided comfort to those who had concerns, enabling them to relax and enjoy the conference…”
