Amazing food stations!

Cocktails & Canapes catered our wedding and did an incredible job! We had grazing stations, food stations, and bar service for 120 people, and we also rented tables, chairs, linens, and glassware. They were very accommodating of all of our requests and had plenty of delicious options for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free guests. Taylor was amazing to work with, she was really responsive and organized, and gave us a lot of useful insight in planning our menu. Our tasting was a lovely experience, and the food was even better on the day of the wedding. Our guests raved about the food and the setup and service were seamless. The bar staff in particular were really lovely. I would absolutely recommend them for your wedding!

Exceptional Food and Service

We highly recommend Cocktails and Canapés, from beginning to end the service was impeccable and the food was Amazing. Our guests can’t stop talking about the food and how delicious it was. We had several Vegetarians that were extremely satisfied with our choices despite our 2 mains being meat. There was plenty for everyone and I’m still thinking about the poutine box with mushroom gravy, it was to die for.

Amazing food!!!

Most of the contact with Cocktails & Canapés was through our wedding planner, but they seemed to be very accommodating for timing and special requests. We planned our wedding remotely and were a bit nervous about the food as we never actually had an opportunity to taste prior to the event and good food was our number 1 priority! The food ended up being outstanding and we received many compliments from our guests. They had a great selection and accommodate everyone with dietary restrictions! Definitely recommend C&C if you are looking for non-boring, delicious food!

Amazing Catering

We booked Cocktails and Canapes for our wedding in October and were so impressed with them! Right from the tasting, they went above and beyond to make our day even more special. While the tasting was $200, they provided wine and beer and wonderful samples of the all the food. They had their chef come out to explain what each dish was, as well as had someone sitting with us to answer any questions we had.
During the wedding, Katherine (our point person) was organized and calm and her and her team did so much more than we expected. They set out trays that we had purchased from somewhere else before dinner which they really didn't need to do. We had some guests who had some severe allergies and other food restrictions. Cocktails and Canapés were super flexible with menu planning and ensuring these guests had options for dinner the same as everyone else.
For the cake cutting they provided knife, plates, etc. and did not charge any sort of cake cutting/plating cost (which most other caterers we looked into had). They also went an extra step for me and my husband. While we had opted for paper plates for cake for the guests, Katherine had two ceramic plates made up with both kinds of cake that we had for me and my husband and made sure that they were brought over to us, it was a small, but really special touch.
I could go on and on with how impressed we were with Katherine and her team. Anything we asked for, they were happy to provide without nickel and diming us. It was a really refreshing change from other experiences we had with vendors and venues.

Oh and the food was delicious!!!!

Booked catering with Cocktails & Canapes for my upcoming wedding and the process was quick, easy and so enjoyable. I highly recommend Olivia, she is super friendly, positive and easy to deal with. Tasting did not disappoint, food was excellent and got to meet the Chef Brett who was also really friendly. Looking forward to our big day knowing our guests will love the menu we've put together.
