I just used Cannon Catering on 06/11/22. I knew nothing about this caterer, and I have to admit, I was unsure. Boy, was I W-R-O-N-G. They catered a surprise birthday party for my husband., the food was delicious. Jennifer and her crew were OUTSTANDING, so nice and friendly, the service was top notch! The food was marvelous, people were still talking about it the next day! I will definitely use them again!

We loved having Cannon as our wedding caterer! We chose to do the Royal Hors D'oeuvres menu, and it was a big hit with everyone! The service during the wedding was incredibly professional, everyone was very kind and helpful, and made sure everyone was fed and had a piece of cake! There was no issue in communication with Cannon, as they work hard to ensure that all the details for your service are correct.
They listened carefully to our feedback and needs during the tasting, and made sure to go over details several times prior to the wedding event, just to be sure everything was lined up correctly! Would absolutely recommend them for any event!

I worked with Cannon Catering for my wedding and I am so thankful I did! Not only was the food absolutely phenomenal, the communication quick and easy, and the team unbelievably friendly, but on my wedding day I found that the Cannon team went so far above and beyond my expectations to make sure everyone had a fantastic time. For example, my husband and I planned to eat on our own prior to dinner to make sure we had a chance to actually eat, and I brought TV dinner trays to eat off of in a side room. However, when we walked in, Cannon had set up our own little table complete with tablecloth and centerpiece, and it was a much more enjoyable and relaxing dinner.
Even more, I felt like they were willing to jump in anywhere help was needed, including lighting sparklers for our sparkler exit! My wedding day would not have run as smoothly without them, and I ABSOLUTELY recommend Cannon Catering to anyone in need of a catering team!

I just want to give Cannon Catering a great BIG hug and a huge THANK YOU for the AMAZING job their team did for us on Friday night. John and Karla were extremely professional and efficient in getting everything set and ready to go for our attendees. The wait staff was very courteous and moved quickly in getting the food and drinks out. And the food. It was so delicious! We all truly enjoyed the meal.
It's funny because there was so much going on throughout the evening that I didn't think to check on the wait staff until about 8pm and they were gone. They were like ninjas. The set up was super fast and were done and cleaned up at the blink of an eye. They left the area better than how they found it and that was awesome. Thank you to you and your team and we look forward to working with you again soon.
