We want you and your guests to look back on your special day with great pleasure and remember how truly special it was.

Canapés has catered thousands of wedding receptions over the years. Is your event under a tent in your uncle’s backyard? At a rustic retreat in the mountains? A quaint bed and breakfast? Or maybe it is at a grand and elegant historic mansion? Regardless of the setting, trust Canapés’ years of experience to create an appropriate menu and setting for your reception. We promise you and your guests will be talking about the party long after the last dance!
