Planner's guide

OLIVER & BONACINI EVENTS AND CATERING

Vendor Analysis for Event Planners

Best For: Corporate events and conferences, upscale private celebrations, wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners, fundraisers and galas

What planners usually like:

  • Full-service approach eliminates the need to coordinate separate planning and catering vendors, reducing communication overhead and potential conflicts
  • Established presence in Toronto's event industry provides local venue relationships and vendor connections that can streamline logistics
  • Customizable menu planning allows flexibility to match event themes, dietary requirements, and client budgets without rigid package constraints
  • Dedicated account management throughout the planning process provides a single point of contact for all event details and changes

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Request specific pricing breakdowns for planning services versus catering services, as these are often charged separately or have minimum catering spends
  • Confirm their availability and capacity during your preferred event date, particularly for peak seasons (May-October in Toronto)
  • Ask about their planning fee structure—whether they charge hourly rates, flat fees, or percentages of total event budget
  • Verify which aspects of event coordination they handle directly (rentals, florals, entertainment) versus coordinate as third-party vendors

Common questions

Can Oliver & Bonacini handle full event planning, or do they primarily focus on catering?

They position themselves as comprehensive event planners offering both planning and catering services. Contact them directly to understand what's included in their planning services versus what's outsourced to partner vendors, as this varies depending on event complexity and scope.

What's the typical minimum spend or guest count requirement?

Pricing is custom-quoted based on event specifics. Reach out to discuss your event size and budget range early—minimums often differ between corporate and social events, and knowing their threshold helps you determine fit before investing planning time.

Do they work with Toronto's financial district venues, given their Bay Street location?

Their 401 Bay St. location suggests strong connections to downtown Toronto venues and corporate spaces. Ask specifically about their relationship with venues in the Financial District and adjacent neighborhoods to understand logistics and coordination advantages.

How far in advance should I book, and what's their typical timeline for planning?

Full-service event planning timelines vary significantly (3 months to 1+ year depending on event scale). Confirm their availability window and whether they prefer booking timelines, as premium dates may fill quickly, particularly for corporate and upscale social events.

Are they equipped to handle dietary restrictions and specialized menus?

With full catering capabilities, they should accommodate dietary needs. Clarify specifics upfront—ask about experience with kosher, halal, vegan, gluten-free, and other common restrictions to ensure they can reliably execute without menu limitations.

What happens if I need to make significant changes close to the event date?

Understanding their change management policy and cancellation terms is critical. Ask about their flexibility policies for date changes, guest count adjustments, and menu modifications, and confirm whether timing affects fees.
