My now-husband and I hired cosmic catering for our wedding on June 25, 2011 at Minnekhada Lodge in Coquitlam, upon recommendation. I couldn't be happier with their service and food quality. Upon guest arrival, cosmic catering put out a spread of fresh fruit and veggies, and cheeses (along with coffee and tea and punch). We had requested their buffet bride special for our dinner (at a very reasonable price). The food was excellent, especially the salmon and the roast baron of beef. Monique (the owner of cosmic catering) actually came to our wedding and brought livelihood to the crowd with a dinner-game and her vibrant personality. Cosmic catering then came back around 11:30 when we had planned to start cleaning up, and cleared all of their linens and dishes. I would highly recommend this cosmic catering to anyone, we were extremely happy with the entire experience. Thanks Monique!

i too was never told about the 15% from the beginning it wasnt until the total then she told me. very unprofessial and changes her story about refunds..was please until all this came about. Needs to learn how to run a business properly

  all Clients are aware of the 15% surcharge right at the time of booking their event. Maybe you should have read the Important Information sheet that you received at time of booking. Its too bad that you didn't mention it at the time and maybe if you were struggling with finances we could have helped you out with a payment plan. Congrats on your wedding, I know whom ever you are, because you did not put your name in the review that you would have loved the food and the service!

I had Cosmic Catering cater our wedding and the owner Monique WAS FABULOUS. tHE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS, HOT AND PLENTIFUL. THE STAFF WERE SO HELPFUL WITH ASSISTING THE BRIDAL PARTY AND ELDERLY GUESTS BACK TO THEIR Seats with their plates. She wad Hands on throughout the whole event. it was amazing. If you want them to cater your wedding you better book soon as It took us over a year to have them. Thanks again for making our day memorable!

I was recently married and had Monique of Cosmic Catering cater, and wanted to let all of you know that I can not believe what the last person wrote about Cosmic Catering. I also paid by Visa and found that Monique was very clear with her rates and it was clear in her invoices as well. I did not have one problem and to make a comment that you would not use Cosmic or recommend Cosmic Catering, well I wonder if that person even used Cosmic as they were world class at my wedding of 260people and the guests all asked me when I got back from my honeymoon who we used as they would be using them as well. COSMIC CATERING IS AWESOME!

I USED COSMIC CATERING FOR MY WEDDING AND FOUND THEM VERY REASONABLE IN THEIR PRICES COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER CATERERS I CONTACTED. tHE SURVICE WAS SUPURB AND I USED MY CREDIT CARD FOR EVERY TRANSACTION AND I WAS CHARGED EXACTLY WHAT I WAS QUOTED. I ALSO RECEIVED THE INVOICE THE DAY OF MY WEDDING AND SO DID MY FRIEND BECKY WHO ALSO USED COSMIC CATERING . I THINK THAT WHOEVER THIS JUS GUY IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS OR HER EVENT. MONIQUE IS SO EASY TO CONTACT, SHE GAVE US HER CELL PHONE NUMBER AND HER HOME PHONE NUMBER JUST IN CASE WE HAD ANY QUESTIONS AFTER HOURS. SHE WENT THE EXTRA MILE IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR WEDDING. I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE. SHE IS VERY WELL RESPECTED IN THE INDUSTRY AND HAS WON MANY AWARDS FOR HER CATERING. EMILY & CHRIS

I have never written a bad review before, but I also have never had a anyone continue to overcharge my credit card after an agreed to price.

I won't go into details here but just know that we were charged an additional $750 after the event and despite several attempts to contact Monique in the end I had to call VISA to cancel my credit card so that no more fradulant charges would be apperaing.

We had several other suppliers for our wedding and they were all amazing, with the exception of Cosmic Catering. I would advise you to be careful before committing to their services. Ensure you have everything in writing and pay cash only, to be honest, I just wouldn't recommend Cosmic Catering at all.

  You were never charged anymore than what you paid for. We went the extra mile for your wedding. We repaired your dessert buffet by some other company that was absent. Then you called me at 1:00 a.m. to come and clean up the mess from your bartenders that did not do their job, again that is not my responsibility. But I drove 35 miles back into the City to do their clean up. Your Visa was never overcharged for anything that you were not aware of. We also packaged up all your left overs for you to take with you for your gift opening. We also cleaned up the fallen trees from an absent decorator. I think you should re-do this review and be gracious with having a hands on caterer to do the work of all the other vendors you used but were absent and lacked professionalism. I wish you the best with your marriage.

Not only was Monique's guidance helpful along the way from my engagement to my wedding day, she was a lifesaver.When I arrived at the reception hall to meet with her and do some last minute details and found my caterer scrubbing the floor as the reception the night before had not been cleaned up and the janitor was on holidays.... When i asked her why she was doing this, she explained that there was no way that she was going to let others ruin my most important day....not only was my day perfect with weather and environment, but the food and Monique added the most personal caring touches to my wedding and I still tell people about her food and her amazing kindness that made my day....thanks again Monique...you are truly amazing and Cosmic food is out of this world.

I am the Manager of Whonnock Lake Centre in Maple Ridge, BC.

Cosmic Catering has catered many weddings at this venue for many years.

I have always found that Monique the Owner of Cosmic Catering to be bubbly, polite and very professional.

I quite often ask my clients how they enjoyed dinner and all the responses is always a positive one.

I couldn't believe when I heard about the negative blog out on the internet about Cosmic Catering that I felt compelled to repond.

I am not ashamed to write my name down. I feel if you really are a dissatisfied customer then you should sign our name.

Thank you for listen.

Cosmic catered our wedding recently and offered stellar service to everybody who came.
The owner's attention to detail was impressive. She walked me through the food lineup so I wouldn't get food on my dress. Everything I needed done was done and when our bar service didn't bring any ice, she sent one of her staff out to get some. These are the things that go above and beyond the excellent food. Cosmic even supplied special meals to a few of our friends who have food allergies. I recommend her to anyone.

We used Cosmic Catering for our wedding and after some weather mishaps the food definitely saved the day for us. They have superb service. The staff walked the wedding party through the food table so we wouldn't mess up our clothes and they helped all the elderly people with their plates. As for the food, it was fantastic, with lots of variety and so fresh. They have incredible Caesar salad. We went back for seconds and thirds. The owner Monique really made our day special with her sunny personality. They have won the local newspaper's Readers Choice contest every year.

We have never dealt with anyone so rude and obnoxious as the owner of Cosmic Catering. Food quality is very poor, certainly not a lot of care is taken in its preparation. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone for a special event. There are a lot of other caterers in the area that do a far superior job. Think twice about considering this caterer

  I do not know who you are, but by the way this review is written you never have used Cosmic Catering. The food is spectacular and the service is outstanding. The owner, Monique Campbell is the sweetest person I have ever met. She has won more awards for her catering than anyone else and she is always friendly with everyone. I think you could possibly be another caterer in the area that is bitter with her success and you are trying to slander her. it won't work, she is very popular and always in high demand for her catering services. It is too bad that people like you have to lower themselves to think that they are purposely hurting businesses.

Canceled a function after paying their required deposit plus an extra 1000$. Was told that any monies paid to them counted as a deposit and refused to refund the extra monies. Will never use them or recommend them again.

  What did you expect?
  

  As far as we know, all deposits are non-refundable. That's the point of a deposit, isn't it? Sounds like sour grapes to us.

• By:	CHRISSY134

  thats NOT how you run a business!! yes if you cancel you shouldnt get your deposit back but yes she should have given the other monies back. i too would be bitter too!!

  All Deposits for events are non refundable, and it specifies that very clearly upon booking. What would be the point of taking deposits for weddings. When you cancel a wedding on short notice because of a break up that prevents the cater to book another event for that day. So the caterer actually loses the most. I have re-scheduled several weddings over the last 20 years because of a family illness, deaths etc. One especially when a hall was overbooked. I just transfered the deposit money to the next available date. In this case the bride to be, called and said the wedding is off and hung up. Two months later after the date that the wedding would have taken place the Mother of the to be bride
  asks for the money back. First of all I did not know who she was and secondly she was not my client, her daughter was. I had never heard from the bride to be again. Thats too bad that they broke up but why should I be the bad person. I was just going by the normal procedure that caterers do. I lost the most by not being able to book another wedding in six weeks so I should be upset, but I actually feel sorry for this family.
