Wedding Catering with Roma Catering: Quality You Can Taste, Styles for Every Vision

Planning a wedding is a whirlwind of decisions, and we know that the "Catering" line on the budget can sometimes feel a bit daunting. At Roma Catering, we believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality or flavour to keep wedding costs on track.

No matter the style or whether you are feeding 50 people or 500, we use the same fresh ingredients and the same family recipes that have been our signature since 1969. The difference isn’t in the quality—it’s simply in the style of service you choose.

Here are three simple examples of ways we can help you celebrate, curated to span a variety of budgets and styles:

1. The Classic Roma Buffet

This is a popular choice for a reason: it’s hearty, social, and everyone gets exactly what they want. It’s a great way to provide a huge variety without a massive price tag.

• Appetizers: Dry Ribs with coarse salt and lemon, and Bocconcini & Tomato Skewers.

• The Main Event: Our famous Traditional Beef & Pork Lasagna (a 60-year family recipe) and Roasted Chicken in a lemon cream sauce.

• On the Side: Roasted Herb Potatoes, Green Beans with Almonds, and a fresh garden salad.

• Dessert: A spread of Fresh Baked Cookies & Dessert Squares.

2. Roma’s Signature Selection

If you want to offer your guests a bit more variety with some refined flavours, this style adds a touch of elegance while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming.

• Appetizers: Arancini (crispy risotto balls) and a beautiful Charcuterie Board.

• The Main Event: Stuffed Chicken Breast Catarina (filled with peppers and Provolone) and Poached Salmon with capers and dill butter sauce.

• On the Side: Dauphinoise Potatoes (creamy layered potato stacks) and Honey Glazed Carrots.

• Dessert: Our Traditional Homemade Tiramisu.

3. The Formal Plated Dinner

For a more traditional and structured evening, a plated meal allows your guests to be served at their tables, making the dining experience the focal point of the reception.

• Appetizers: An Antipasto Bar with Prosciutto, Melon, and Marinated Artichokes, plus a Chilled Shrimp Platter or for a more luxurious feel passed appetizers butler style.

• The Main Event: "AAA" Alberta Prime Rib of Beef (carved by our chefs) or a Filet Mignon with a Merlot demi-glaze.

• On the Side: Spinach & Ricotta Stracci Crepes and a medley of Fresh Seasonal Vegetables.

• Dessert: Crème brule à house made classic

• Coffee and Tea Service

Make It Your Own

While these styles are great starting points, remember that nothing is set in stone. 

Want to swap the Lasagna for our Tortellini Alfredo? Have a family favourite you want to see on the buffet? Or perhaps you need to ensure there are plenty of Gluten-Free or Vegan options for your guests? We are incredibly flexible. We’ll work with you to mix, match, and customize any of our menu items to fit your vision and your budget perfectly.

The "Full Meal Deal": Keeping It Elegant and Affordable

If you’re looking for the absolute best value without the guesswork, ask us about our "Full Meal Deal." It’s our most straightforward, "no-surprises" package designed to give you a complete, high-quality wedding feast at a set price. It includes a balanced selection of our most-loved dishes—like our Grilled Chicken and Traditional Lasagna—ensuring your guests are well-fed and happy while you stay exactly on budget.

The Late Night Fuel: Pizza Bars and Slider Stations

We know that after a few hours on the dance floor, your guests are going to get a second wind (and a second appetite!). Here are some options for late-night snack stations that are the perfect way to keep the energy up:

• The Pizza Bar: We bring out a variety of fresh, hot pizzas (including vegetarian options) for a quick and easy hand-held snack.

• The Slider Station: Mini Pulled Pork, Nashville Chicken and Smoked Brisket Sliders that are easy to grab and go between songs

• Ribs & Wings:  A savoury, crowd-pleasing favourite featuring our salt and lemon Dry Ribs and crispy Chicken Wings—the ultimate comfort food to keep the celebration going.

The Roma Difference

At Roma Catering, we focus on providing the level of support you need. While we always provide our signature high-quality food and professional service, we can also help coordinate additional details like linens, china, and glassware rentals upon request. Our goal is to be as involved as you need us to be, providing the peace of mind that comes with hiring a caterer that’s been a staple of the Calgary community for over 55 years.

At Roma Catering, quality isn't a luxury—it's the standard.
