CUPE Local 4000 – November 2023

“We would like to sincerely thank Laura and her team for delivering a truly wonderful wedding event service! Everything, the coordination, venue, catering, decorating, music, and personal service, was beyond our expectations. Laura was there for us throughout the whole process and until our daughter and son in law’s party ended. Thank you so much for making the wedding experience such a happy and memorable milestone in our lives!”

Fournier Wedding – November 2023

“The food was the best I’ve ever had from college catering! BRAVO to your kitchen! The conference space was great! Tracy was/is great and put me at ease with her timely and informative service! Thank you Tracy!”

Copeland – November 2023

“Our annual event included a murder mystery during our buffet dinner as well as a live band afterwards. Laura and her team were amazing to deal with. It was great to be able to work with Laura on planning and also have her there during the event was more than helpful. You have a great team!”

Northstar Utilities – October 2023

“My husband and I got married in October in the Nawapon space at Algonquin College. It was large enough for our 100 guests, plus it still fit a stage for the band. The room faces outwards into an outdoor private courtyard where we had our ceremony as well as a bonfire late into the evening. Laura Dimic, head of their events team, was fantastic to work with, and Chef Russell Weir served up a delicious three course meal. The serving staff were attentive, efficient and professional, and the AV team made sure our sound was perfect, indoors and outdoors. The pricing for Algonquin is so much less expensive than every other venue we visited. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to get married in Ottawa.”

“Laura was our event coordinator and she made the experience so special and was so great with everything we needed. I felt great leaving many things in her hands based on her experience.”

Shayna M – Wedding – September 2022

“Another successful EduGala last night! The dinner was excellent as always, and the room looked especially festive this year. Thank you for all your work on our behalf!”

Kathy McKinlay, Executive Director, OCRI

“I was in attendance last night at the National Capital Educators’ Award ceremony, along with 500 or so other people. I wanted to let you know how impressed I was not only with the food but with the efficiency with which this large number of people were served. I have been to many buffet meals, and often there are long line-ups and much grumbling as one wait to fill one’s plate. That was certainly not the case last night. No one seemed to be waiting for very long and the food trays were being filled seamlessly. The servers were pleasant, professional and accommodating. All those involved in the meal preparation and service are to be commended.”

Sheila Stanislawski, Executive Director, Civic Institute of Professional Personnel.

“The Ottawa Planning Committee was committed to making this conference as accessible as possible and with your help we achieved that. Costs were kept at reasonable levels enabling many more people to attend without sacrificing quality. The food was better by far than that provided by any of the various hotels used in past years. The décor and service by the hospitality staff was superb. Delegates with dietary needs were amazed at how your team coped with their special needs. The food was so beautifully presented!”

Roberta Russell, Conference Chair, Canadian Doll Artists Association

“As a wedding producer I had in the past attended many weddings, but never have I experienced a more relaxed atmosphere as all of us had at your banquet hall at Algonquin College. The food was fantastic, the desserts were outstanding, there was absolutely nothing to criticize, we continually get compliments from our guests for the reception.”

Roland Pirker, President, Rollframe Productions Limited.

“The food was way beyond what I expected. I’m accustomed to hotel lunches and I’ve been at lots of them- even good hotels- and what we were served was beyond most of what I have seen. I will definitely use the College again.”
