Canapés

I cannot Thank Canapés enough for all their help with my event this past weekend.
They were extremely professional from start to finish.
Adrianne, Michael, and Vicki were such a pleasure to deal with.
The food was amazing, beautiful, and definitely something to be proud of.
Thanks again Canapés for your dedication and terrific customer service.
You don’t find this kind of professionalism very often.

Thank you to Canapes for all they did to make our daughter’s wedding a spectacular success! The bride and groom, our families and ALL of our guests had a wonderful time celebrating their wedding! Much of the success of the night was due to Canapes, whose staff worked so hard to make sure everything was perfect! After meeting with them the very first time, we felt confident and at ease that they would take care of everything needed to make our daughter’s wedding all she was hoping for — and our trust was well-​placed, as they did just that!
Our daughter and son-​in-​law really wanted a menu of fall foods with a variety that would please all who attended. The options available from Canapes were amazing — so many wonderful choices that it took them quite awhile to make their decisions — but they had lots of fun reading all the descriptions of the delicious offerings and coming up with the items for the tasting. They appreciated Canapes’ suggestion for the potato-​apple hash side dish (which was excellent) and Canapes willingness to make the groom’s dad’s special green bean recipe for the wedding. We also were very happy that Canapes allowed us to provide our own desserts since homemade cookies are an important part of our family tradition.
I felt very little stress in the days leading up to the wedding because I knew the Canapes staff had everything under control. The day of the wedding everything was set up beautifully and it all looked amazing! The food looked fantastic and tasted even better. We got compliments from all of our guests with many commenting it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding — or anywhere, for that matter :) They accommodated a large range of allergies including the pretty daunting dairy allergy for the groom, and all went flawlessly. All the food fit perfectly with the fall theme — from the appetizers through the entrees and side dishes. The staff did an amazing job setting up the huge array of cookies we provided — no small task with 13 varieties to display!
In addition to the beautiful set-​up and the delicious food, the service throughout the night was flawless. Again, many of our guests commented on how helpful, friendly, cheerful and just overall wonderful the Canapes staff was. It was very obvious to us that the employees of Canapes take pride in their work and in their company, and are happy in their jobs. In fact, several of the staff members told us just that. It is rare in this day and age to find loyalty like that, and I am confident it is well deserved. It was truly a pleasure to work with Canapes.
Clean-​up at the end of the night was a blur. All I know is that everything somehow got packed up and loaded in cars in time to get us out of the mansion ahead of schedule. I know that was again in large part due to the hard work, experience and professionalism of the Canapes staff.
We truly can’t thank Canapes enough for all they did to make our daughter’s wedding a magical night! I will happily recommend Canapes to family and friends.

We have used Canapés multiple times for our in-​office meetings and have been delighted each time! We typically only give a day or two notice and Adrienne has worked within our budget each time to provide an amazing feast for our staff. On each event Canapés has delivered and setup the meal with professional expertise and in a timely fashion. Most recently we have had a taco/​fajita bar and a pasta bar, both of which were a huge success! I highly recommend Canapés catering for any of your upcoming events.

Extremely expensive! Nice people and responsive. Food quality was good (not outstanding) but did not warrant the steep price. Baby shower for 35 people with 7 appetizers was $ 1800! No beverages and I provided the disposables. And only one appetizer was something pricey (shrimp). Pricing is per piece rather than per person so beware when calculating costs. In this instance the fact that there was only one piece (in most cases) per person wasn’t obvious in their quote until their final billing right before the event. Is that the up charge strategy? Too late to change caterers. If you are cost conscious at all, I would keep shopping.

We considered using Canapes for our up-​coming wedding considering they were highly recommended by our venue but ended up going in a different direction after many concerning interactions. 1. They took a very long time to get back to us with proposals both before the tasting and after the tasting. They said to expect a final proposal 1 week after our tasting and it ended up taking 13 days even after repeated calls by us asking what was happening. 2. They forgot to send us the tasting menu selection until the weekend before the tasting when we were out of town so we had to rush through it using our smart phones while on vacation. 3. They also neglected to tell us until the weekend before that there was a $ 25/​per person tasting charge which I thought was absurd considering how much potential money we would be spending with them and considering our other tastings at other caterers were free (and included champagne). 4. The tables they had set up for tastings had old and worn table clothes, dented up furniture, and the chipped settings … not the best impression for the type of stuff you’d like to see end up at your wedding.
I am still giving them 3 stars because the food was very good (although the canapes were way too large for finger food) and I can see why people have raved about it in other reviews.

On short notice, they provided excellent food and service for a post funeral reception. They were superb in catering a complete dinner for a neighborhood social club of 50 people. More recently, the catered a bridal shower with great food! The cupcakes looked like they were right out of a magazine and yummy too! They do a great job, period!

I’ve had Canapes several times, recently they catered sandwiches to an event I was attending. Their food tasted fresh and was delicious! I also hear they sell carryout lunches, at their office by the fairgrounds, which I plan on trying very soon!

Canapes ruined Christmas dinner for me and my family. I ordered a spiral ham, corn pudding and Mac n cheese. I specifically asked for the ham to be glazed but it was bare with absolutely no dressing. The mac n cheese had NOT a bit of cheese in it (imagine that)! I sincerely don’t know how these people stay in business serving this kind of food! Take my advice and stay clear from this place.

I searched long and hard for the right company to cater my wife’s 30^th birthday party. I was having a mystery dinner party at our home and wanted to provide a great meal to go along with the party. Everything looked great and i was so pleased that I had chosen Canapes to provide the meal. That was until my guests cut into their Tuscan Chicken and it was RAW in the middle. The meal was already fully plated and we only had 30 minutes in order to continue the mystery dinner party, so it was a disaster for sure. I called Canapes the following Monday and told them what happened and their only response was «Did you take pictures so we could see?» Really, i am going to lie to you and tell you that you ruin my wife’s birthday party. I had 15 guests that will attest that the chicken was raw. I never heard back from them, no «I’m sorry» Nothing. I wasn’t looking for anything to be done honestly, I just wanted to let them know to make sure next time it was cooked. They DID NOT CARE. I would not recommend, nor would I ever use these people again.

One of the things I focused on the most for my wedding was food, and I am so glad I chose Canapes. I actually only had tastings with two different vendors, but Canapes blew the other one out of the water!
Not only is their food absolutely delicious, but they just know the wedding business so well. They were such a big help to me during the entire process in figuring out my wedding flow, and they were so great at helping me keep the cost reasonable, even if it meant that I didn’t go through them for everything. The company really goes above and beyond on customer service, even managing to help me find chevron runners I could rent from them for my tables.
The food though — the food was divine. I had so many of my guests tell me how great the food is. Not only does Canapes provide a HUGE list of possible selections, they also are able to customize food to things not on their original list! I described one of my favorite pasta dishes to them, and then I brought a sample for them to try. They re-​created it for my wedding, and also re-​created a different appetizer from another restaurant I loved.
My entire experience was so wonderful, they’re really on top of their game. I would definitely recommend !

We used canapés for a recent holiday party. Food was lovely. The staff was even better. Adrienne did an amazing job. She took over the event and the details so I could get ready. She knows how to run a party and does an excellent job with out prompting. Very well done!

I went to an event that was catered by four or five different caterers (they each had tables set up strategically around the main event) This is seriously the only one worth a review. Of all the tables, it’s the one that had a constant line of people waiting for food. I myself probably went back with my friends at least 3 times!
A sample of some of the things they were serving…
— French Fries with truffle oil
— General Tso’s «cups» with an asian slaw
— Caesar Salad cups
— Avacado and salmon cups
— a huge assortment of cookies and desserts.
Of all the food at the event this company really did an A+ job.

My sister had Canapé’s cater her wedding (because the actual wedding was at Thorpewood and they were the vendor that she was allowed to use).
My personal experience with them while at the wedding was good — the food was spectacular and everything looked amazing. Because it was a vegan fare only wedding, it was (I’m sure) hard to provide much variety, but Canapes managed to pull it out!
The reason I’m docking a star is because she said that, when they had their tasting, nothing that they had prepared was even vegetarian. I really think it’s pretty sad that when you’re doing an important tasting for a big event, you make sure to read what the client chose for their menu and listed as their dietary restrictions beforehand. Although Canapes gave them another tasting, it was inconvenient because my sister had to drive an hour to get there and Canapes was not very good about communicating what the ingredients would be for the second tasting.

I’m upgrading. The lunch reviewed before was a test run for the big catered dinner event we selected them for last night. Canapes definitely cranked it up a notch. The Mediterranean buffet was really well done — roasted/​grilled veggie platter, some very popular lamb meatballs, chicken kabobs, and some fantastic Greek-​like appetizer display with hummus, stuffed grape leaves, roasted peppers, olives, feta, etc. The whole affair drew universal raves from the guests, and the service was well run.
