Our company hired Cocktails & Canaps for an in-house holiday party, and had a very positive experience. The team was responsive and accommodating in the planning phase, and delivered above and beyond for the event. There were no glitches, the team was friendly, food was delicious, and presentation was unparalleled. We will 100% be using C&C again for future events.

Our event was a hit! Everything transpired so smoothly (I was preparing myself for something to go wrong but it didnt!). A huge part of that success was their service. The team arrived at the perfect time, the food was there in time before the guests arrived. All of the items on the menu were a hit (a lot of guests took the leftovers) and I had multiple guests ask me where the dinner was catered from. The team definitely helped us level up from our past events!

We had Cocktails & Canapes cater our small staff Christmas party this year. The team was exceptionally helpful throughout the planning process and the staff on the evening of the event were wonderful. Friendly, attentive and very clean. The kitchen was left sparkling! The charcuterie and oysters were especially delicious! Highly recommend.

What can I say... What an incredible experience. The company I work for decided to host our annual holiday party in-house this year. While there was some hesitation at first from folks who had a more traditional sit down dinner in mind, C&C delivered and blew them away. Alex was an amazing coordinator who was always available to respond to any questions and assist with defining our food options, staffing and rentals. She was also super detail oriented and made personalized menus for the bar. She even made the effort to come help set up the day of the event. The day of the event, the team came

We hired Cocktails and Canapes for a party we did at our home. From the organizing to the execution, Gabriella, Miranda and the C&C gang knocked it out of the park. It has been weeks since the party, and guests are still telling me how incredible the food was. It makes me very happy to hear that! It truly was unique, creative and delicious! But its not just the food. The service was top notch, as was their professionalism and attitudes! Just one small example: one of the servers actually chased down my sister because she had mentioned how much she liked a particular appetizer and there was

About six weeks prior to our wedding, we were forced to do a last minute venue change and required a caterer. Cocktails & Canapes was highly recommended to us by multiple people for both the quality of their food and their service. They were extremely responsive, helpful and attentive to our very last minute requirements. The day of went flawlessly and you would have never known they pulled it all together in such a short period of time. The food was delicious, the service and team were incredible to work with and they made the entire evening so much fun. We had so many people come up to as after

We hired Cocktails & Canapes to cater an appreciation event for our staff and they knocked it out of the park! The food was fresh and delicious with options for everyone, regardless of dietary restrictions. We loved that they prepared the food on site and were able to time new batches along with the ebbs and flows of our drop-in event. Plus, they came prepared with To Go boxes for anyone who couldn't stay or was grabbing food for a coworker on shift. It was an amazing meal and the service was outstanding. Thanks Cocktails & Canapes!
