Simply Divine Catering and Personal Chef Services

Michelle cooked an amazing dinner for my bachelorette party last weekend! She was very sweet and very talented. I would recommend her to anyone hosting a dinner party, event or gathering of any kind!

We celebrated Christmas early with my in laws and had Michelle come and do a 4 course meal in their home. It was absolutely amazing, she customized our menu, the presentation was beautiful and most important it was absolutely delicious. Michelle was also wonderful to spend time with for the evening. The evening was the highlight of our Christmas vacation. Thank you Michelle!

Michelle was able to make our elopement in St. Catharines the perfect event! Right from the start we were able to choose from an extensive menu for appies, starters and mains. The food was absolutely delicious, with the crab wontons and the lobster bisque as the crowd favourites. All the food was delivered right on time, and every last detail was taken care of from setting the table to clean up. It was exactly the type of hassle free experience we were looking for on our wedding day. I would definitely recommend Simply Divine to anyone looking for great eats and service!

I wanted to plan something super special for my sister's bachelorette party last weekend and when I reached out to Michelle to plan a girls' night in dinner, I knew right away that I had struck gold.Michelle was incredibly easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions promptly. She was super helpful in making menu suggestions and incredibly accommodating when I needed to make some changes to dishes because I'm a very picky eater.On the day of our event, Michelle was incredibly professional but also super friendly, even offering to take some group photos for us. She was super efficient and did all of the cooking, serving, and clean up (while also pouring some drinks for us along the way!).Michelle's food was so delicious, every course was better than the last! All of her ingredients were super fresh with some produce grown in her own garden.I will be recommending Michelle's services to everyone and anyone and can't wait until I can hire her again for my next dinner party!

Michelle and her team catered my intimate wedding of 14 and everyone loved the food.We had hors d'oeuvres served first and they were amazing, everyone had their own favourites - mine was the wild mushroom tarts! The three course dinner was divine. The food presentation was fantastic. My only regret was not taking a photo of the food.Michelle's prices are very fair, and she really works with you (helps guides you) to choose the menu items.I would highly recommend simply Divine catering for your next private event. If I host another event in the Niagara region I will definitely reach out again.

We recently hired a personal chef to cater a special 40th wedding anniversary dinner at our home. It turned out to be an extraordinary culinary experience that exceededall of our expectations. From the moment Chef Michelle arrived, we knew we were in for a treat. The attention to detail, the impeccable presentation, and, most importantly, the sensational flavours made it an evening to remember.First Course: Appetizing Coconut ShrimpThe coconut shrimp was a brilliant start to the meal. The succulent shrimp were perfectly cooked, boasting a crispy and golden exterior. The delicate sweetness of the coconutcoating added a delightful twist, complemented by a subtle tang from the accompanying dipping sauce. It was a harmonious blend of flavours that set the stage for an incredible dining experience.Second Course: Walnut Cherry SaladAs we moved on to the second course, our taste buds were further tantalized by a sensational salad. The combination of the crisp spring mix, crunchy walnuts, and juicycherries provided a medley of textures and tastes that danced on the palate. The apple slices added a pleasant crunch and a hint of natural sweetness. However, the star of the dish was undoubtedly the maple vinaigrette dressing, with its rich, earthy notesthat elevated the salad to a new level of deliciousness. It was a harmonious blend of flavours that left us craving for more.Third Course: Beef TenderloinThe main course consisted of tender beef tenderloins accompanied by creamy smashed potatoes and perfectly cooked asparagus. The beef was cooked to perfection, boastinga beautiful pink center and a seared crust that added a satisfying depth of flavour. The rich and velvety smashed potatoes were the ideal complement, providing a comforting and hearty element to the dish. The asparagus, cooked just right, added a refreshingtouch and balanced the richness of the meat and potatoes. This course was a true showcase of culinary expertise and left everyone completely satisfied.Fourth Course: Lava Cake and Mint Ice CreamFor the grand finale, Chef Michelle surprised us with a sweet symphony of dessert. The warm, gooey center of the cake oozed with rich chocolate, creating a delightful contrastwith the cool, refreshing mint ice cream. It was a match made in dessert heaven, with the mint perfectly complementing the indulgent chocolate flavours. Each bite was a symphony of textures and tastes, leaving a lasting impression.Presentation: A Feast for the EyesApart from the outstanding taste, the presentation of each course was nothing short of remarkable. Every dish was thoughtfully arranged and garnished with precision, showcasingChef Michelle's artistic touch. The vibrant colours, the balance of elements on the plate, and the attention to detail all contributed to the visual feast that accompanied the exceptional flavours.Overall Experience: A Celebration to CherishHiring Chef Michelle for our 40th wedding anniversary celebration was an exceptional decision.

I had hired Michelle for my best friends bachelorette and it was the highlight! She prepared us a 5 course meal that blew our minds! Not only was the food exceptional but so was chef Michelle. We enjoyed her company almost as much as her food! Thank you Chef Michelle!

I can't say enough about the wonderful experience Michelle provided for me and my husband on the celebration of my 60th birthday.My birthday is Jan. 14 and my wonderful husband wanted to surprise me with a big party but because of Covid that was out of the question. So what he did do was to hire Michelle to prepare a romantic private dinner in our home. I have to admit that even though I was excited about having a personal chef for the first time in my life, I was also a bit nervous about having a stranger in my house and my kitchen. But Michelle immediately put me at ease. She was very friendly from the moment she arrived. She made the whole evening from start to finish totally memorable. Having Michelle in our home was more than just having a personal chef, it was more like having a friend over. That's not to say that she wasn't totally professional however. All the food was prepared to our complete satisfaction. Everything was delicious. After she finished the clean-up she even took the time to sit down with us to socialize for a while with a glass of wine and some great conversation.We definitely recommend Michelle!(I included a few pics from our dining experience.)

We had the pleasure of engaged Michelle for our annual couples getaway in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The experience from start to finish was seamless and stress-free. Just what the doctor ordered for a relaxing experience. Michelle was professional but engaging, answered all our questions and helped us select wine pairings from local wineries for the dishes we asked her to prepare. Michelle came well prepared for anything hiccup that may have come up (renting an AirBNB is always a crapshoot when it comes to how well stocked a kitchen is), the food smelled, looked and tasted delicious. Michelle was great company, made us all feel as if we were long time friends and was a great addition to our social evening after such a long time not being able to do that. We'd definitely recommend Michelle for all your catering needs and we'll book her again the next time we're in the region.

Our intimate dinner party was fabulous!!Michelle catered our Christmas dinner party for 10 people and we could not be happier with her and Anto, our server. Each of the 4 courses were delicious and the presentation was outstanding. Michelle was so professional and a pleasure to work with when planning the menu. Each of our guests could not be more pleased with this dining experience. We would highly recommend Michelle and her team and would absolutely use her again!
