Catering A Wedding Reception In Tallahassee On A Shoestring
Canopy Rose Catering, a popular Tallahassee area catering company will work creatively with their clients to create an affordable signature special soiree that will have everyone smiling!
Yesterday, I received a call from a mother of a bride. Her vision for her daughter's December 31 Wedding Reception sounded ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL!! The only catch was that the economy had put a sizeable dent in her Savings Account for her daughter's wedding day.
Here is an excerpt from my correspondence to the mother of the bride.
"Thanks for contacting Canopy Rose about catering your daughter's wedding reception.
The menu you have described sounds simply delicious for a December 31 Wedding Celebration.
The food portion would cost in the $20.00 to $25.00 per person range, more or less depending on the actual menu selected.
We offer the following arrangements:
1.) Pick-up (no additional cost)
2.) Delivery & Drop-off (Beginning at $125.00)
3.) Delivery, Drop off, & Set-Up, Pick-Up (Beginning at $175.00)
4.) Delivery, Drop off, Set-Up, Serving Staff, Clean-Up (Beginning at $350.00 + Labor & Gratuity)
5.) Full Service Catering & Event Planning ($$$$$)
I have several suggestions as to how you can provide a beautiful wedding reception on a shoestring budget. First we will need to address the non-negotiables.
Please send me an email outlining precisely what you desire for your daughter's wedding reception and we'll see what we can work out for you that will fit your budget.

Governor Crist had contacted her and had requested that she host a political fundraising event at her beautiful home in northeast Tallahassee for 100-150 guests for his US Senate run.
Sorry Charlie! Canopy Rose is already booked on June 27, 2009. We would have loved to have catered this event. Next time if we are available we would love to cater your US SENATE FUNDRAISER! Good Luck!!

Catering Q & A With A Tallahassee Bride Looking For A Very Country Wedding Reception With A Southern Feel
I am getting married at the Retreat at Bradley's Pond. I was looking for a caterer that will do a "southern" cooking theme. Our wedding is very country and southern feel to it. We were thinking of something like chicken, white acre peas, biscuits, macaroni and cheese, fried shrimp, mashed potatoes, and stuff like that. We can only go around $18.00 a head. Can you give me any ideas on what you could possibly do for me? Or if we can set up an appointment to come and taste stuff and to talk to you. I was also wondering do you include the serving? We were thinking more of a buffet style. Do you also do linens? I am trying to get as much information as I can. So I am sorry about all the questions. We are going to have approximately 200-215 guests.
Thanks so much,
*************************************************************************************
An excerpt of our response:
Best Wishes on your upcoming marriage!
A Southern Comfort Reception Theme is always popular! I would imagine that we could do the food that you've mentioned for around $18.00 per person. However, service staff is always addititional. I'm concerned that full service would send the price of your wedding reception beyond what you can comfortably afford to spend.
What some of our clients do is this: They purchase the fabulous food from us and then we deliver it to the reception site. At the reception site, a team of the bride's friends assist with the set-up, replenishing of food from the kitchen and clean up. That is just one way where you can have your cake and eat it too for around $18.00 per person.
We can also send a team of servers. Servers cost $25.00 per hour per server. Naturally, the longer they are on the clock, the more they cost.
As for table linens, we can furnish you with some full-length banquet linens for the 6 ft buffet tables. However, round table linens and speciaty linens should be rented from either a rental company or a speciaty linen provider.
I hope this answers your questions.
This is how we work:
Initially we communicate by email and telephone; if both parties feel it is a good fit, then a deposit of $500.00 will reserve your wedding date on our calendar. From then on, I am happy to meet with you in person, do site inspections, tastings, etc, etc, etc.
As of today, we are currently available on XXXXX to cater your wedding reception. However, please keep in mind that our availability can change on a moment's notice. We only do 1 Wedding Reception per weekend. Therefore, if you would like for us to be your caterer of choice, you should book as soon as possible.
If you would like to get to know me more, please join me on Facebook where Canopy Rose has a fan page and where I also have a page (Kathi Dameron.)
Thanks again for your interest in Canopy Rose as your wedding caterer! I look forward to hearing back from you!

Wedding Questions and Answers
We're looking for a caterer for our wedding and I was wondering if you could answer some questions for me. If we are interested after we hear back from you, I will call and make an appointment so that we could talk in person.
At this time that date is available on our calendar.
How many years have you been in business?
Canopy Rose opened its doors in 1994 in Tallahassee, Florida.
What is your price range for a seated and buffet dinner?
It really depends on many different factors (such as the menu and type of services offered. Wedding receptions generally range in price from $30.00 to $100.00 or more per person. However, there are certainly more economical options as outlined on the www.canopyrose.com website.
Is gratuity included in the price?
Sometimes. You will always know upfront what your total costs will be.
What is your specialty?
Creative cuisine
Do you work with the same servers on a regular basis? What is their attire?
We have a group of 30 plus servers who work with us on-call. The attire is black slacks & white tuxedo-style shirt with bow tie and cumberbund. Other staff attire can also be arranged, if desired, to coordinate with certain themes.
What do you provide (linens, plates, flatware, glassware)?
We will work with you to coordinate rental.
Do you have a license to serve alcohol? If so, are we allowed to bring in our own alcohol for your bartenders to serve?
We are fully licensed and insured for all your food catering, but we do not sell alcohol. I am happy to provide great bartenders to serve your alcohol.
Do you charge a fee to cut the cake? If so, what is it?
NO, we never charge a cake cutting fee for full-service catered weddings!
