Great food. Good company. Moments worth remembering.

Since 1982, Great Events Catering has helped Calgary gather over good food. From weddings and private celebrations to corporate gatherings and large-scale events, we create catering experiences shaped around the people, the setting, and the occasion. 

Founded by the Kuenz family as a small catering business, Great Events Catering grew through a commitment to good food, warm hospitality, and lasting relationships in the community. Over the decades, our team has served events of all sizes and helped bring new dining and event experiences to Calgary, including the Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant. Today, Great Events Catering remains at the heart of Great Events Group.

Our Story, 43 years in the making

A Rich History

Where it Began

Great Events Catering started in 1981 when Ulrich and Monika Kuenz brought their German culinary training to Calgary and opened a small kitchen with big ambitions. What started small grew into one of Calgary's biggest catering operations. Still the Kuenz family. Still scratch cooking behind every plate.

Where We Are Now

Great Events Catering is the flagship of Great Events Group, a Calgary family of catering, dining, and event brands. Chef Daryl Kerr leads the kitchen. The Kuenz family still owns it.

From boardroom lunches to LPGA tournaments to Stampede tents. Same kitchen, same standards, same passionate hospitality.

Great events start with great people
