Canapes Catering

Canapes was fantastic to work with! My husband and I had a more informal reception and Canapes helped us to design a custom menu that would fit a midday winter wedding perfectly (and within our budget)! We also had our wedding in the parish hall, and they helped plan where to layout the food/when to serve and it all ran very smoothly. They were also amazing with adjusting the menu for different dietary restrictions (vegetarian, nut allergy, GF) and creating custom plates for those guests. We didn't have to worry about a thing on the day and everyone kept saying how delicious the food was! As other people have mentioned, they also make sure you and the groom eat and bring plates to you, and pack up leftovers for you - they were so kid and we are so grateful that we chose them!

Canapes is an exceptional full service caterer! We did not have to worry about any aspect or detail of our daughter’s wedding. The food was great and the choices endless. We had a family style dinner, full bar service, and custom choices at every step of the way. Working with Becky was seamless, always professional, and a pleasure. The owner, ML, is hands on and runs a top notch operation. We fully recommend Canapes for catering any event!

I’m so glad our venue (the Delaplaine) recommended this vendor. The food was excellent – even guests who had worked in catering remarked on the quality. Also, the staff at Canapes are pros – organized, responsive and committed to producing a great event.

We engaged Canapes to cater our wedding for 101 guests. From the start, we knew the food at Canapes was fantastic, having been in the café a handful of times, and choosing them for our wedding was an easy decision. We had a general idea of what we wanted our wedding food to include, which definitely simplified our process, but Canapes has a huge repertoire for anyone who might need a little more guidance. We shared our sample menu before we booked our tasting session, and we were also provided a number of sample menus- this really helped to enhance our original vision with different items we had not considered before. When we got to our tasting, the food was even more delicious than we were expecting- and the presentation was so impressive. The team pours themselves into the food they prepare and it is so clear upon first look and first bite. Signing our contract was simple, and the contract and payment terms were reasonable and easy to understand. As our RSVPs started to come in, we learned that a number of our guests would have a number of dietary restrictions and would require special meals. This was no problem, and they happily accommodated and asked questions to ensure that they knew what our guests needed, and could prepare meals and selections that everyone could enjoy at the wedding. At the wedding, my venue had to provide its own alcohol, service staff, and equipment, but I do believe Canapes is able to provide these, if your venue does not require it to be in-house. On wedding day, amid the hustle and bustle, before we took photos, we were brought an appetizer tray to share which was great- because we were not participating in the cocktail hour with our guests. Even this small tray just for us was beautiful and delicious. When it came time for our reception, the salads and bread were just perfect- I could drink the honey basil salad dressing! The entrees were beautifully plated and just phenomenally tasty. What we really loved was that the entrees were a great size- everyone had plenty to eat. At other weddings we have been to, it seems that the entrée size is so small- but Canapes definitely filled our plates- and our guests could not have been happier. Our guests requiring special meals also made a point to thank us and let us know just how great everything was, and that they were so pleased that the caterer went out of their way to ensure their inclusion in dinner. Dessert- I am still dreaming about our cake- it was everything we wanted, and was again not only beautiful, but very tasty. We had a variety of cupcakes including one that was the flavor of our wedding cupcake. I would see a few of our guests taking 4-5 at a time and going back for seconds! And finally the late night snack- this was just the cherry on top of a perfect evening of eating. We needed some suggestions with this menu and Canapes came through with flying colors- our guests demolished the food and there were only crumbs left when we walked by! Amid the hustle and bustle, we didn’t have much opportunity to eat, but they very kindly boxed up our food which made for the best leftovers we could have imagined. We loved the food, our guests loved the food, and people are still raving about how wonderful everything was. I would gladly re-book Canapes for ANYTHING I ever need in the future and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for catering, a meal, or even just a treat from their bakery. Thank you to ML, Paige, and the rest of the team!
