We hired Canapés to provide catering for our 60 person wedding and morning after breakfast. From the start we were impressed with the quality and creativity of the food. We wanted to do middle eastern and Mediterranean food and had originally looked for a vendor who specializes in this type of cuisine. However, Canapés simply beat the others we tried on flavors, options, and their experience in bringing it all together for a luxury and seamless experience. We worked with Becky as our catering manager and she was wonderful. She was able to pivot with us when we wanted to add things or change things, and helped us also design a wonderful breakfast for the following morning that they delivered with the main meal and we just heated up. They worked with us to have a hybrid approach where we did passed and displayed apps at cocktail hour , a gorgeous dip trio that was pre-served on the tables, then a server salad, then a buffet for the rest. We brought in our own alcohol and had some specialized mocktails, and they were totally great with using our provided items. They didn’t demand we use their rentals or buy anything in particular from them, and were totally flexible about us having speciality rentals from other companies for flatware, linens, plates, etc. I REALLY appreciated this flexibility and never felt any pressure that we HAD to get XYZ from them. They just wanted it to work for us. They also had a lot of experience at our venue (Zigbone) which made things SO much easier. I received many compliments on the food and the kids were all so happy with their kids meals as well!! All in all, I felt really lucky to work with a company that was so flexible and inviting - and we LOVED having the leftovers to live off for a few days post wedding!! Thank you Becky and the entire team at Canapés for helping us have such a great wedding weekend!!

Wow, wow, WOW! We used Canapes since they were one of the preferred vendors for our venue. We had plated dinners for 100 guests. Guests chose from roasted chicken or beef tenderloin. We also added vegetarian and GF options for those guests who did not want beef or chicken. Each dinner was beautifully plated. We served hearty appetizers such as lamb burgers, mac n cheese cups and avocado spring rolls. We had several guests come up to us and tell us that it was the best wedding food they'd eaten in years. Their compliments were completely unsolicited. Canapes was worth EVERY PENNY.

Canapes did an awesome job catering our cocktail-style wedding reception. Staff were great and the food is AMAZING!

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.

JESSICA AND BECKY!!!!!! We owe you a million thanks! You two were simply amazing to work with as POC’s for Canapés. I have nothing but the yummiest things to say regarding our food and execution for the day. Professional, friendly and efficient are just a few adjectives. Even packed the groom and bride a box because we didn’t eat much! I really enjoyed the fact the guest felt special as well. I can’t say thank you enough for pulling our wedding together so nicely.

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!

Canapes was AMAZING! The food at our cocktail hour and reception were amazing and guests complimented on it all night. The staff and bartenders were amazing all night and was there for any of our needs! We worked with Katie all leading up to our wedding and she always had great suggestions and was there when needed.

We used Canapes as the caterer for our October wedding. The food was delicious and the staff was amazing. We got a lot of compliments from our guests! 10/10 would use Canapes again.

Canapés is far more than your average caterer. In the midst of a pandemic, changing staff, having a baby, and a change in venue 24 hours before our wedding, ML, Katie and the Canapés team delivered a flawless wedding day.

Both Katie and ML walked us through the process of selecting our appetizers, main course, and dessert. With literally hundreds of options, my husband and I were able onto try everything we wanted to during our tasting.

Katie accompanied us on our 30 day meeting at our initial venue, helped layout a timeline, and kept me sane to say the least.

Then when we changed our venue, Katie was right there to assist in deciding on table linens, tables, a completely new layout, decor, etc. Between Canapés and Strong Mansion, the unnecessary stress created by our previous venue and the new stress of coordinating the relocation with all of our vendors, guests, family and friends, was alleviated.

Our guests loved the food, from appetizers to the 4 different kinds of cupcakes to choose from. No one left hungry.

Canapés has it all. Delicious food. Hard working, dedicated, beyond kind staff. Tables, linens, decor, flatware, dishes, plates, etc. They’re your one stop shop.

During my years 14 years in Frederick MD, I recall attending a wedding and 3 retirement ceremonies that the services of Canape's was contracted. At every event (regardless of budget) I found myself wondering who catered the event and to my amazement Canapes Catering was the service provider.

Fast Forward to current time period, as the children have now been home for 2 weeks we have stopped in numerous times and it has been a delightful experience. The family has been embraced by a caring staff who is willing to listen and work with us as professionals. The food has been amazing and the kiddos have really enjoyed the daily lunches provided by Canapes Cafe to-go.

If you or your organization have a function to host, I strongly urge you to reach out to this well run catering service.

In the least stop in and meet the staff over lunch as they know most of their costumers by their first name and pay special attention to everyones dietary needs.

Way to go Canapes, you have truly won me over!
