On The Move Catering & Events is proud to announce another addition to our family of Venues we support: The Blue Dot Gallery.

The Blue Dot Gallery is a unique alternative to a traditional events facility as the design and aesthetics embrace the historical setting of the Distillery District. Surrounded by other galleries, shops and restaurants The Blue Dot Gallery is located at the unofficial centre of the district.

Today, the gallery space is ideally suited for groups of up to 100 people for a cocktail reception, or 60-75 people for a sit-down dinner. Perfect for intimate wedding ceremonies or receptions, corporate and private parties or just a special evening, both our space and events team can cater to satisfy any need.

The Catering Strategy

Planning events or catering in Toronto is about understanding your state of mind. Your needs combined with the expectations of your target audience will lead to the most appropriate presentation of your mission, mandate and value proposition.

The first step in our approach involves a personal consultation in order to determine the characteristics of your living brand: Who you are...what you stand for...what makes you different. Likewise, it is important to understand who your target audience is. Are they Customers? Investors? Employees? Friends? Family? Is your goal, through this event to: Entertain? Educate? Motivate? Persuade? Are your objectives to demonstrate leadership? Generate awareness? Increase support? Reward? Or, simply, to have fun?

Only by understanding the quality of your relationships, products and services, the root of your objectives and your personal and professional benchmark principles, can we determine a catering and event strategy that will work for you.

At On The Move—A Catering Company in Mississauga, we recognize that in order to represent your interests as if they were our own, we must invest some time into understanding what you do best, to ensure that we do our best, on your behalf. It is for this reason that we act as advisors, to you, our client, in order to determine and customize a solution that works for you. However, we all need a place to start. Enclosed you will find some sample menus to assist in planning your next event and taking the first steps to Excite Yourself™. In addition, we have provided our client list and our own biographies, to help you get to know us, as we get to know you. Enjoy.

Our offices and kitchen are located in Mississauga, but we provide our catering and event planning services all across Toronto and surrounding areas. Do not hesitate to call on us for anything from your boardroom lunch to your corporate holiday event.
