FAQ
Everything we can answer before we know your date, room and guest count.
Food and presentation planned as one service. We plan the layout against your actual surface, bring the serving pieces, boards, risers and linens, build the table in your room before guests arrive, and take the pieces away afterwards.
The format is built for roughly 12 to 50 guests. Above fifty we plan a custom setup around the venue and confirm what we can do before you book.
Two to four weeks is a comfortable planning window for a styled table. December dates, long-weekend Saturdays and shower season fill earliest, and short-notice weekday events are always worth asking about.
Share dietary preferences and allergy information when you enquire. We plan suitable choices and label the table clearly. For severe or life-threatening allergies we talk through cross-contact before you book, and we cannot guarantee allergen-free preparation on a shared table.
Styled tables start at $42 per guest, plus applicable taxes, and the working range runs $42–$65 per guest, with the top of it being tables that replace a meal. Your quote is built from four things: guest count, table format, how long the event runs and the setup the room needs, and it separates food, styling and delivery so each part of the number is visible. The event minimum is $600 before delivery and taxes. Delivery and on-site styling are $45 within 25 km. Past that, the charge is quoted for your address before you book.
A 30% deposit and a signed quote hold your date, and the balance is due 3 days before the event. Move or cancel more than 14 days out and the deposit is refunded; inside that window it covers the sourcing already committed. Final guest count is due 7 days before the event. After that the shopping list is set: numbers can still rise, and the count stops coming down. Every figure is quoted plus applicable taxes.
We serve the City of Ottawa, Ontario. Kanata, Stittsville, Nepean, Barrhaven, Westboro, the central neighbourhoods, Orléans, Manotick and Riverside South sit inside the standard delivery area, where delivery and on-site styling are $45. Past 25 km the delivery charge is quoted for your address and appears on the quote before you book.
Call +1 613 710-0554 with your date, guest count and neighbourhood, or send the same details through the enquiry form. We answer every enquiry within one business day, and the reply names the next step and the date being held while we talk.
We answer every enquiry within one business day, and the reply names the next step and the date being held while we talk. You send the date, guest count, neighbourhood and a sentence about the room. We reply with a starting format and the two or three questions that move the quote. You get one written quote separating food, styling, delivery and travel, with terms attached. A signed quote and deposit hold the date, then the menu is finalised around season and dietary needs. We arrive ahead of guests, build the table in the room and take the serving pieces away afterwards.
The host or venue provides the table surface — a dining table, an island, a counter or a rented trestle. Send the length and depth and we compose to it. Serving pieces, risers, boards and linens come with us.
OH! works out of a rented licensed commercial kitchen in Ottawa. There is no liability policy in OH!'s own name today, so a venue-specific certificate of insurance is something we cannot supply. Venues in Ottawa routinely ask suppliers for one, so raise it with us early and you get a straight answer for your date and venue in writing.
OH! is a service-area business in Ottawa. Food is prepared in a rented commercial kitchen in Ottawa, then delivered and composed on the table in your space. There is no storefront and no public address.
OH! cannot make either claim today. Halal preparation needs a verified supplier and a documented handling practice, and kosher needs supervision of a kitchen that OH! rents rather than owns. Neither exists, so neither appears on a quote.
Wedding mornings, showers and intimate receptions at our guest range are a good fit. Most Ottawa wedding venues ask a supplier for a certificate of insurance before they let them work on site, and OH! has no policy in its own name today, so a venue wedding is a conversation to have early.
Each booking is quoted and built as its own event, which is what the $600 minimum and the per-event build reflect. Meetings, workshops and working lunches are covered on our office catering page.
The imagery on this site is generated for the brand and shows the kind of table OH! builds. Photography of OH! tables follows our first styled events, and it appears here the day it exists.
