Good morning!
Katelyn, I just cannot thank you enough. Because of your skill and attention to all the details, I have absolutely no idea how you and your crew pulled it all off! I’ve never had such a positive experience when hosting a party … I was able to be totally relaxed and involved with our guests and family without giving a moment of thought to the food and service. We send you our very sincere thanks for everything that you and the Canapes staff did to make our very special celebration even more special.
Fondly,
Amy and Jim

You received a new review on The Knot!
posted 06/21/2024

We couldn't have been happier with Canapes Catering for our wedding reception. Becky and her team were phenomenal from start to finish, making our day truly memorable.

Firstly, Becky was a joy to work with throughout the entire process. From our initial tasting where we sampled their delicious offerings to the day of the wedding, she was attentive and accommodating, ensuring every detail was perfect.

The food itself was simply incredible. Our guests raved about the foie gras, crab cakes, and beef skewers as appetizers, and the main dishes (salmon, beef, and chicken) were cooked to perfection. Despite some weather challenges, the Canapes team executed a flawless dinner service, which impressed all 150 of our guests.

Their timing was impeccable, seamlessly transitioning from cocktails to dinner service without a hitch. One of the highlights was the custom millefoglie cake they created for us. Although it was something they hadn't done before, they graciously accepted the challenge and delivered a masterpiece. It was not only beautiful but also absolutely delicious.

Canapes Catering truly exceeded our expectations and helped make our dreams a reality. We're incredibly grateful for their professionalism, culinary expertise, and dedication to ensuring our wedding reception was perfect in every way.
