Was very disappointed with my experience with this group. We recently attended a wedding they…read morecatered and there were several issues with the food. The meal provided was supposed to be a breakfast for dinner buffet for around 170 people. It took everyone about 2 hours to make their way through the buffet line one time (I should know. I was at the last table to get food). The line was very inefficient because people could only take food from one side and then they put an omelet station at the end of the line. What happened was that people would wait for the omelet station and block the food so the other buffet line did not move. My other issues include the fact that when it was finally our turn, they were out of bacon and french toast completely (my husband asked). So what we had left was some eggs, sausage, salad and potatoes. Since it was after 9 pm at this point and I was starving, I actually picked up the potato wedges and started eating them immediately while still in line for an omelet. They were cold! :( I finally gave up on the omelet because it took too long. I figured I would just tough it out and eat something at home. I'm glad I didn't eat more because as soon as the food hit our stomachs, we started feeling sick. My husband didn't even finish the little food he did have and that's not like him. A lady at our table complained to the catering staff and apparently she said people had eaten more than they had predicted. What we wondered was if you were planning on everyone only eating a certain amount (say 2 slices of bacon), why wasn't someone from the catering staff dishing out the portions so everyone could at least get one helping?

Beautiful hardwood flooring can be exposed if you want room for dancing. So many different menu options and they will even do brunch, complete with mimosas. The staff/owners are amazing; very hospitable and attentive. Will definitely be attending in the future for other events.

We received the space, ordered from the menu and a week later showed up. We hired a DJ to make it a celebration for our cowboy who loved to dance. The space was decorated beautifully and while I'm a picky eater I ate until I couldn't eat anymore. I'm writing this review because I want this space to be here forever. I'm planning an event during the summer of 2024 and plan to reserve the venue soon. I love the owners and the entire concept and please don't make me mention the food again - too delicious!

I will find someone else to cater my cocktail hour. Their loss not mine.

Cooking Canvas really holds a special place in my family and I heart because I remember when it first opened and we were so excited to attend our first local cooking class event that didn't involve us having to drive all the way downtown or to the north side. So we've attended classes here and hosted many private events here. Always a great time. BYOB and music.

Both were very personable and patient with our loud and sometimes rowdy bunch. We made 6 drinks and had appetizers for our group of 10.

If I ever want to have another party of this type, I'd definitely come back. Perfect place for a date night or kids cooking Party, too. Overall, great experience!!

We asked for more of a mingling reception with food stations, and our culinary vision was perfectly carried out. People kept commenting on both the scrumptiousness of the food and the stylishness of the presentation. My mother's cousin said it was the best food he's ever had at a wedding. Chef Sashah was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. He worked hard to give us the best possible meal on our humble budget, and he was attentive to us on the wedding day, making sure we actually got to eat something! He even packed up some leftovers for us to take on our road trip honeymoon. We are so happy that we hired Chef's Palette, and we would trust them with any event.
