A well-known South Island catering company's sudden closure is leaving some weddings in turmoil and others cancelled.

Posted: Feb. 22, 2023 6:23PMAt least one more victim says they’re being forced to cancel their big day.

Gallinger is trying to come to terms with the fact her dream wedding won’t happen. She says she booked Toque Catering for her wedding this coming summer, giving a deposit of $5,000 dollars. “I feel super disappointed. I feel a bit robbed of our money,” said Gallinger. “I mean, it’s one thing for a company to go out of business and share that they’re going out or having a tough time and work on a solution. It’s another thing to completely vanish. We’re in Canada, one can file for bankruptcy, sell their assets, and give what they can to their customers. To completely vanish feels a bit criminal in my mind.

They show the company defaulted on their payment of Provincial Sales Tax and Employer’s Health Tax, amounting to more than $5,000 dollars owed. The amounts were collected by the Province before May of 2022 through a seizure of Toque Catering’s assets. From the court documents it’s unclear what assets were seized.As of Feb. 3, Toque Catering was ordered to pay Fiona Johnson $5,000 plus interest after not responding to said claim.
