Unique Holiday Party Venue and Menu In Historic Havana Florida

One of the most unique holiday party venues in the North Florida capital region area is located in the historic, old tobacco town of Havana, just a short jaunt away from Tallahassee.

The Canopy Rose Culinary Arts Studio and Catering Company offers a one-stop shop for your company Christmas party.

We provide an elegant candlelit setting, with tall bistro tables and loveseats for your pre-dinner cocktail hour, elegantly appointed dining tables and seating for your choice of a butler-served or buffet dinner and a surprise dessert extravaganza that your guests will be talking about for years to come!

Our menus are custom-designed and presented with wonderful style and pizzazz by none other than Tallahassee's own food writer and newspaper columnist, Kathi Dameron, who writes the popular and fun, Entertaining with Kathi column in the Northeast Chronicle.

For information on availability please call Kathi on her direct line at 850-539-7750.

If you happen to get the voice mail... do leave a message, since we are often either on another telephone call or in the kitchen busy whipping up some edible masterpiece.

Hunting For Venues In The Tallahassee Area

The 2008 Christmas holiday season might still be several months away, but it is not too early to lock in your caterer, venue, entertainment and party rental supplies now if you have not already done so.

By this time of year, many sites are already booked up. Such was the case with Dorothy B. Oven Park, one of Tallahassee's premiere wedding, special event and meeting sites.

"We are booked solid the entire month of December," Mary Lou from Oven Park said when I called to inquire this morning about a couple dates in December.

Don't get discouraged... there are always plenty of delightful options for unforgettable parties.

Actually some of the nicest parties that we have catered over the years were held in private homes. Are you willing to open your home up to your co-workers for your annual party? It's a beautiful thing to do and there is something about a private party in the intimacy of one's home that far surpasses the rather sterile environment of a meeting room with a hourly meter ticking away.

With the professional assistance of a catering and special event company, such as Canopy Rose, even the hosts will have a splendid time at a party given in their own home.

And without having to pay the hefty space rental fees and damage deposits that can run upwards of $1250.00 ... perhaps the hosts can be provided with the gift of a couple of professional housecleanings, one before and another one following the party, some pre-party lawn maintenance and gorgeous floral arrangements. The cost of all of this is almost minimalistic when compared with the cost of room rentals during the busy holiday months.

In the unlikely event that no one in the firm wishes to swing open their doors in hospitality, there are still plenty of creative options available! Just call Kathi Dameron at 850-539-7750.
