Were we married in Aug 2025 and have such an amazing experience with Cannon River! They made the process to easy and were so accommodating to our requests and our guests allergies....
Not to mention, the food was amazing! I would highly recommend them!
Barbara and Chris treated us like family. They were so accommodating on our tasting and offered to have us back for a second tasting when we couldn't decide. I've never remembered...
a meal when I was a guest of a wedding but I think the food was some of the most complimented items of the whole evening! We got tons of rave reviews from our wedding guests. We went with burgundy pepper sirloin, maple glazed pork, champagne chicken and a vegan vegetable pasta. The pork and steak were phenomenal! Meals came out hot and quickly. We also had them bring late night pizza which came from their affiliate partner Dudley's and it was fantastic pizza! They even brought us a whole extra to take back to our hotel just for the bride and groom after - we needed it! Chris and Barbara committed to doing JUST our wedding on our big day - this was BIG for us! We went on a few other tastings where ours would have been one of a handful of weddings they did that day. We liked the intimacy and attention we got from Chris and Barbara to be fully committed to making our day as special as possible.
We hired Cannon River Catering to cater our June wedding. We were really happy with the food and the service; my favorites were the bread and the vegetable alfredo, and my husband ...
loves the jalapeno poppers and rosemary pork medallion.
They were super professional and friendly at every stage of the process, from initial quote and tasting to the end of service on our wedding day. Our guests all loved the food, and we had no issues on the day!
Our only complaint is communication: it often took multiple weeks to get a response to our emails. This is fine if you plan ahead and ask your questions with plenty of time, but it can be a little (or a lot) stressful.
I’ve been working in the wedding industry for ten+ years and am very picky with food quality/type and presentation… Cannon more than knocked it out of the park! Nick had the best i...
deas to make our menu more creative, and our guests talked about it all night long and beyond. Their employees are fun and classy and always go above and beyond.
It’s hard to find catering companies these days that are in the business primarily for the love of food and people, but that is Cannon. We are so thankful they could be a part of our day!
The food they made for our wedding was out of this world! So many guests told us it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. They pivoted in the blink of an eye when the w...
eather turned and they had to set up the buffet in the tent due to a downpour. We rented our linens through them and the process was incredibly easy. The tasting was private, personal, and perfect - so much food and so helpful for our decisions. We also ordered our dessert through Cannon River. Pies! They were a big hit and absolutely delish. The staff was wonderful and helpful and so kind. Excellent caterer.
The food is amazing! I can't recommend them enough! The communication was good and everything turned out great!
Their food is amazing! We had multiple guests come up and tell us that the food Cannon River Catering served was the best they'd ever had at a wedding. We did a buffet style meal w...
ith plated salad and bread at the table. The food was prepared so well. The staff were so friendly. Everything was set up at the right time. Cleanup and takedown were very timely and organized.
Barbara and Chris are great! Their food is amazing and they treat you like family. We received many compliments about the food and they helped with ice cream and doughnuts, which t...
hey didn't supply but wanted to help out with anyway. They also were flexible in their quote and offering such that we were able to have compostable plates to reduce waste that our wedding generated. While they were responsive in the "off-season" they were harder to get a hold of when the wedding was a couple weeks away because they were so busy. This is the only reason that they aren't getting a full 5 star review.
Barbara and Chris from Cannon River Catering are amazing! Food was delicious for our wedding, got so many compliments from our guests. Cannon River is great to work with and very...
affordable for the services they provide. Highly recommend them to cater your next event!
Cannon River provided our wedding guests with the very best food! We served our guests meatballs, jalapeño poppers, and Brie crostini as an appetizer and either champagne chicken, ...
pork medallion, or roasted vegetable Alfredo for dinner and have received numerous compliments over the food. It was delicious! Additionally, Cannon River happily set up cupcakes which were provided by a different vendor. They were extremely efficient when setting up, serving food, and cleaning up and were kind and friendly throughout. Although they were difficult to reach by email, they always responded to phone calls which eased any worry.
Everyone loved the brisket sliders and meatballs and everything else
Cannon River Catering was a preferred vendor through out wedding venue and we were sold from the second we took our first bite at the tasting. They are very professional and easy ...
to work with. We had a couple crazy requests and they were more than happy to help us with them! The food was absolutely AMAZING and we are still receiving compliments from our wedding guests. We had the harvest salad, rosemary pork medallions, and the champagne chicken. Also the Vegetarian alfredo pasta is wonderful, even my husband who is a meat and potato guy was contemplating having that for his meal at our wedding. The service staff was wonderful and so sweet when we asked for any extra appetizers to be brought to our head table since we really weren't able to have any during cocktail hour. They even kept my husband and my food warm for us while we were walking around talking with our guests during dinner service. Thank you Chris, Barbara, and your entire staff for being a part of our wedding day and providing such amazing food that added to the overall Magical day we had!
Cannon River Catering was one of the preferred caterers at the venue that we got married at, and we can’t imagine our day without them now! From the day we went in for the tasting ...
(pre-COVID), we knew they were the right fit for us. We loved that they were a home-grown catering company and would do anything to make our wedding meal fit for us and within our budget. They worked to make countless adjustments due to COVID with guest counts, COVID friendly appetizers, COVID friendly serving etc. The best part was – guests still LOVED the food even with all those changes. The reviews from guests to us on the food were off the charts, and we love that people loved it as much as we did. The staff was professional and kind, and we are so thankful. Thank you to Chris, Barbara, and the rest of the team for making our wedding day amazing!
The food at our wedding was absolutely phenomenal. It came out on time, was hot, and cooked to perfection. The staff was kind, professional and made dinner flow perfectly. We could...

tasting and getting everything just right for our big day. Love that they were so willing to work with us on all the little extras, like cake cutting and perfecting our place settings. The buffet line ran very smoothly day-of and we got LOTS of compliments on the amazing food. Would highly recommend them to all!!
Loved the beef brisket and cheesey potatoes! They were a big hit, such great and unique food for a good price.
BEST CATERING COMPANY AROUND! Not only was the food delicious (which you can taste for yourself) but the service was a dream. Everyone involved went above and beyond from added app...
etizer napkins, little coffee and water stations upon request without hesitation. I would 100% recommend these guys to cater any event. They made our wedding day more than we could ever imagine.
Wow! How fortunate we were to have Canon River cater our Daughter’s wedding event in Hastings, MN. They were super easy to work with and their food is DELICIOUS! We had so many dif...
ferent allergies to work around with our guests and they were able to easily accommodate everyone. They were flexible with tastings before the event, and flexible with changes near the time of the event. Their wait staff was professional and organized. Their food was delicious. We had so many compliments on the quality. Thanks to everyone at Canon River Catering for making the meal delicious!
The BEST hot food, friendly staff, and timely in their responses to you. I would highly recommend them for your day! Delicious food. The staff were great on the big day.
Right from the start they were wonderful! everything at our tasting was delicious and they were the only group we talked to that would be able to accommodate my vegan and gluten fr...
ee guests with no issues or extra charge. They let us get buy our own desert as well. they even brought it to the venue for us and served it all! they were fantastic. The food was amazing and everyone I have talked to told us the same :) We did a buffet as well and there was more than enough for seconds.

trongly suggest that anyone looking for a caterer for their wedding take a look at Cannon River Catering!
Cannon River Catering catered the food at our wedding at Almquist Farm on January 5th, 2019. We had soups, salads, and an assortment of breads. The food was amazing and we received...
multiple compliments from guest. Chris and Barbara had an amazing staff and were truly a joy to work with.
Chris and Barbara are the epitome of quality family owned and operated small business. They treated us like part of their family from the beginning-- from meeting their kids at our...
tasting to offering to treat us to breakfast at their local cafe the morning after the wedding.
They were so accommodating- and even brought us some of our appetizers to the brewery across the street (Tillion), where the wedding party was hanging out during guest cocktail hour. The food quality was amazing, and guests had so many good things to say. They also coordinated late night pizza for us (through Pizza Man).
My only critique is that sometimes they do take a few days to get back to you by email, but are always responsive to a phone call.
I would recommend them to anyone!-- Especially if you are utilizing Cannon River Winery reception space.
Our first impression, spectacular! We put in a request to meet with them and told them what we like/were envisioning for our wedding. We love spicy food, but we knew not all our gu...
ests felt the same way. We went to our taste tasting (we also brought my parents along) and were amazed! They brought us so much food to try and everything was delicious! It made it that much harder for us to make our decision for our menu. Chris and Barb could not have been more pleasant either! They are super personable, they answered all our questions, were quick to get back to our emails. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about them. Any time we are in town we stop and eat at their restaurant because the food is amazing and the service is great!
Eventually we did decide on our menu and decided to go with a buffet. Our menu consisted of Cajun shrimp penne, Caribbean jerk chicken, red potatoes, green beans, Caesar salad and bread. The kid’s meal was mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, carrots and applesauce. They provided our napkins and a coffee bar. They also served our guests, which made it seem classier in my opinion. All of this was super affordable for a wedding; I was shocked (especially since the food was amazing). They also went above and beyond by helping me out for no extra charge! I had asked them if they would put out our dessert (a cookie bar) and milk (the cartons kids get at school) and they said “of course, no problem at all!” People are still telling me about how delicious the food was at my wedding! We truly recommend Chris and Barb, they are truly wonderful and they know how to run an amazing catering company!
