How It All Began
The same can be said for the working relationship of award-winning chef Kaspar Donier and masterful event planner Nancy Donier. Their internationally recognized expertise draws the highest praise from appreciative clients and industry peers. Kaspar and Nancy Donier are the perfect pair in which to entrust your special event.
His culinary intuition and creative genius were rewarded with successive appointments in Five Star hotels in St. Moritz, Lausanne, and with Hilton Worldwide.
While in Vancouver, Kaspar met Nancy who was working at The Hotel Vancouver, planning and budgeting of banquets and events. A language barrier didn’t stop the Swiss chef and the lovely Canadian from laughing and flirting under the bustling ballroom chandeliers.
Eventually, he was offered the position of Executive Chef of the Four Seasons in Houston. The newlyweds embraced adventure and moved to Texas.
In Houston, Nancy earned her accreditation as a Certified Public Accountant, while Kaspar supervised the menu planning and food preparation for the Four Seasons Hotel. The couple began fine-tuning a business model for their dream restaurant. All the while, the Pacific Northwest kept calling.
Thoughtful staging and gracious service provided a perfect ambiance for Kaspar’s creative cuisine.
Kaspar's Restaurant became an immediate foodie favorite, receiving rave reviews and enjoying over a decade on “Seattle’s Best Restaurant” lists. An increasingly environmentally conscious Seattle, seeking sophisticated cuisine embraced Kaspars and its progressive mission and menus.
It soon became clear that Nancy and Kaspar had a true passion for taking a client’s special event vision and making it a reality. They decided to shift focus from a brick and mortar dining experience to one that offered a more personal interaction, unlimited venue creativity and endless opportunities for culinary presentation.
In 2005, Kaspars Catering & Events was launched to deliver the finest event experience possible. Working with polished and tenured staff, Kaspars now orchestrates events on both intimate and grand scales.
They enjoy traveling to discover new menu ideas and stay up-to-date about culinary and catering trends for your next special event.
