Wedding Questions and Answers

The following questions and answers are an excerpt from an email exchanged today with a bride who is beginning to plan her wedding reception.


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!

Also, do you have a price list for dinners that you could send me?

Our website has all our prices. However, I may be able to give you some better prices on certain items.

Kathi Wins Writing Award

Canopy Rose owner, Kathi Dameron has won the 2nd Place Award in the Newspaper Article Category at the 2008 Southern Christian Writer's Conference in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for her article, Simple Act of Sharing Food Can Truly Bring People Together. This article appeared in the Northeast Chronicle - Tallahassee Democrat during the spring of 2008 in the Entertaining with Kathi column.

Grand Prize Winner In Cooking Contest

The year was 1987 when Kathi Dameron, a passionate gourmet cook who spent her days teaching 32 second graders, and her weekends hosting fun parties for her circle of friends at her waterfront home on Florida's North Hutchinson Island, won two prizes in the first cooking contest she ever entered. One of these prizes was the coveted Grand Prize. At that moment Kathi knew that one day in the not too distant future her special dream to launch her very own catering company would be realized. Seven years later that day arrived with the birth of Canopy Rose in Florida's Capital City in 1994.
