About
Thirty years. One kitchen. Thousands of gatherings.
Lisa Garvie has loved to cook since she was a small child in her grandmother’s kitchen — rolling bits of cookie dough between her tiny fingers until the temptation became too much and she would pop them into her mouth.
Inspired by Martha Stewart and supported by her husband Mike, Lisa took on the challenge of starting her own catering company. In 1995, she opened Masters Touch Catering, where she would spend the next three decades honing her craft and serving thousands of wedding, corporate, film industry, and celebrity clients.
In 2020, her son Harrison joined her full-time as a partner in the kitchen. Together, Lisa and Harrison continue to design custom menus and cater memorable events across Vancouver Island.
Family in the kitchen
Run by Lisa. Cooked by family.
Lisa runs Masters Touch with her son Harrison and a wider crew she's built over thirty years. All three of her sons grew up working events — two still cook with the team today.
Founder & Chef
Lisa Garvie
Founder, chef, and the heart of Masters Touch. Lisa has cooked professionally since 1995 — three decades of weddings, corporate galas, film sets, and private dinners across Vancouver Island. Her favourite part is still the same: feeding people and making sure no one leaves hungry.
Co-owner & Chef
Harrison Garvie
Lisa's son and full-time partner in the kitchen since 2020. Runs day-to-day catering across the Island — wherever the next event is, Harrison is in the kitchen, on the truck, or on a boat with the grill going.
Events Crew
Jeremy Garvie
Lisa's youngest son. Grew up running events with her and still picks up the apron when the wedding crew needs another set of hands. Lake-side grilling is a specialty.
How we work
Cooked from scratch. Served with care.
How we cook
Every menu starts with a conversation about the event and the people. Recipes are built from scratch, ingredients are sourced with care, and nothing leaves the kitchen until it tastes the way it should.
How we serve
Plated dinners, family-style spreads, drop-off platters, grazing tables, on-set craft service — the format follows the event. We’ll help you choose the right shape for the room.
