Distinctive Catering

Owners Rob & Connie Quinton started the business by following in the footsteps of Rob's father, who loved the food industry and working with people. From modest beginnings, the business has grown into one of Calgary's best known catering companies.


Serving Calgary

Distinctive now orchestrates elaborate upscale events of all kinds, as well as catering to corporate Calgary. We’ll go anywhere that people are craving a great meal – from weddings and Christmas dinners, to Stampede events and corporate receptions, and everything in between.


Our Family

Our team is more like a family, and they are the key to our success. We employ 15 full-time staff, as well as banquet servers and managers who keep our workplace fun and friendly. If you combine our experience, you have over 200 years of knowledge in the hospitality industry!

14 years of experience comes from Chef Mark Ingram. Growing up in Airdrie and Calgary, Mark worked in many restaurants throughout both cities. Getting his formal training through SAIT while working with the Toad N’Turtle Pubhouse group, Mark’s love for fresh and fun food took off. After finishing his apprenticeship, Mark continued his learning for food with opening several restaurants with the Toad N’Turtle group, and also working with the Cactus Club Company. Coming to Distinctive Catering in 2008, Mark has been in love with the broad range of foods and events the catering business has had to offer. With his flair for twisting up classical and modern dishes Chef Mark always aims for the healthy, tasty and freshest dishes his culinary team and himself can provide for you.
