The Secret to a Memorable Wedding? Great Food That Feels Like Home

Why Wedding Catering Matters More Than You Think

When people talk about the weddings they’ve loved, the food always comes up. Not just because it was tasty—but because it helped set the tone. A shared meal brings people together. It’s where stories are told, toasts are made, and old friends reconnect.

At Chemong Lodge, we believe food should feel warm, familiar, and truly connected to the couple hosting the day. Our approach to wedding catering that Kawartha couples love is built on that idea—authentic, thoughtful meals that match the atmosphere you want to create.

Food That Feels Like Home: Country Cooking with a Purpose

We cook food people actually enjoy. Our menu options are rooted in the kind of meals you’d be proud to serve at your own table—slow-roasted meats, fresh seasonal sides, and rich flavours that speak for themselves.

As one of the top catering companies in Peterborough, our style blends casual comfort with attention to detail. We offer home-style country cooking you know and love, served in a way that’s fit for your wedding day.

Whether you’re hosting a backyard wedding or a formal sit-down dinner, we’ll help you create a menu that fits your day.

Flexible Catering That Fits You

Some couples want a traditional plated meal. Others want food stations, grazing tables, or a BBQ under the stars. We say—why not? This is your day.

With our full-service wedding catering packages, you get:

●      Custom menu planning

●      Buffet, plated, or family-style service options

●      Dietary accommodations (vegan, gluten-free, etc.)

●      Setup, service, and cleanup included

●      Friendly, experienced staff who treat your guests like family

We want your personality to shine through. We ask questions, listen to your ideas, and build a menu that reflects your story.

Wedding Menu Favourites
