Husband was such a dear and bought me a cupcake when he was running around downtown. The cupcake was adorable and looked super delish! I could not wait to take a bite. The cupcake was flavorful, moist, and down right yummay! There was a perfect amount of frosting and it had just the right sweetness. I went back to WFCC today to ask where these baby cakes came from and they proudly told me about Cannon Catering, their website, and where they were located. If you love a good cupcake you need to get up and go get yourself one!

Our guests talked about how great the food was well after the wedding day. Just thinking about their mushroom puffs, mashed potatoes and chicken, I can taste it. Cannon was fantastic. Letting us do drop-and-chill with our beer/wine was a game changer. They had a big plate of food waiting for us at our table and were on top of it when it came to drinks. Not only that but their people were fantastic. Everybody loved the bartender. He was a fan favorite. We heard over and over again how much fun he was, how he got into conversations with guests. Canon made our day so special. Highly highly highly recommend.

I recently went to a media preview of their Thanksgiving meal offering and everything was so delicious! You get everything already prepared and seasoned and brined and packaged that all you have to do is heat and serve for the sides and in just two hrs, the turkey that comes with the package will be done. We learned that Table & Twine by Rocky Top Catering offers a variety of delicious meal options, including ready-to-eat entrees, finish & serve meals, family-style meals, and entertainment packages. The chefs preparing these meals only use whole foods, and meals arrive fresh (not frozen). Many dishes are ready to eat and others require simple heating. These restaurant-quality meals are available for home delivery in the Triangle and curbside pick up at Rocky Top Catering in Raleigh. If you want the convenience of spending more time with family and less time in the kitchen this holiday season, keep Table & Twine by Rocky Top Catering in mind for holiday meals. Offerings of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner packages, brunch packages, appetizers, and desserts will be available to make your holidays more enjoyable and less stressful. I do wish their was the option to customize, mix or match , or just buy some of the sides and pies a la carte.

I really struggled with whether to leave this review because the bouquet I received was beautiful…read morein its own way, and eventually a partial refund issue was resolved. However, I also think it's important to be honest about my experience as a bride. I first discovered TG Floristry after seeing the owner deliver arrangements at another establishment, and I loved her work. I booked her for my wedding bouquet and boutonniere/pocket arrangement for my husband. Early on, she showed me an inspiration bouquet she thought would fit my vision, but afterward I emailed her a completely different reference photo that better reflected what I actually wanted. She acknowledged the updated inspiration, and at no point did she mention any issue with the change or indicate she planned to use the original design instead. We also discussed coordinating flowers for my wedding cake, especially since she and my cake vendor knew each other and planned to collaborate on finishing touches. All of these conversations happened months before my wedding, so I felt confident everything was aligned. Unfortunately, on my wedding day, things went very differently. When I arrived for pickup, she was about 15 minutes late, and when I saw the bouquet, I was immediately devastated because it was not the bouquet I had requested or envisioned. When I brought this up, she referenced the original inspiration photo she had shown me months earlier, even though I had clearly communicated that I wanted a different style afterward. At that point, my wedding was only a few hours away, and she mentioned being backed up with prom orders and another wedding later that evening. I realized there wasn't realistically time to remake it, so I took the bouquet because I had no other option. Later that day, I emailed her expressing how disappointed I was and requested a partial refund. What upset me further was that instead of acknowledging the misunderstanding, she argued that she didn't believe she had done anything wrong. She eventually agreed to refund $70 of the $220 total and said it would take 3-5 days. After a week passed with no refund, I had to follow up myself. I then received an explanation that honestly felt dismissive, along with a new statement that she had supposedly not charged me for cake flowers and deducted $10 from the refund amount. This had never been discussed previously, so receiving only $60 instead of the agreed $70 felt frustrating and unprofessional. Again, the bouquet itself was pretty. But it was not the bouquet I requested for my wedding day, and the communication and customer service afterward left me feeling unheard and disrespected during a very important moment in my life.

I have been so upset about my experience with Lyn since my wedding in October that I have just…read moretried to avoid thinking of it. But I still feel heartbroken and betrayed, so this review is going to be quite a journey. tl;dr at the bottom, otherwise, strap in. Our first meeting with Lyn was at Fresh Affairs which is a wonderful space, and is filled with props and so many beautiful flowers. We discussed the reception vision; a floral disco theme with a cluster of disco balls over the dance floor, and covering the rafters of our venue with hanging flowers in a rainbow array of colors, textures, and greenery. We wanted the ceremony space to be very minimalist (floor arch and rose petals aisle, all white/blush) and then immerse people in a disco dreamland. At the end of the meeting, he declared I'm "a weird one" (an adjective that has been used to describe me my entire life) so I thought he understood, and wanted to sign up for a funky and fun lil collaboration with me and my husband. We decided to DIY the centerpieces to save money and so Lyn could focus on the hanging installation. While planning some doubts arose; first when I told him we got the venue to let them in an extra two hours early so they'd have plenty of time, and he scoffed and said it wouldn't take long. When we signed the contract it was far under the budget we had set, yet when the amount of product needed to fill the space started to seem high, Lyn repeatedly waived off our offers to pay more. Then, our one and only consultation was a mess. Lyn started the meeting by forgetting about it. My husband and I sat on the Zoom link for 15 minutes before sending an email. We got an apologetic reply, and then started an hour late. Lyn seemed to have just finished eating dinner and was relaxing at home, drinking a glass of wine for the duration of the call. He had a lot of small details wrong (numbers of people, etc.), but also made a suggestion I loved (adding pastel flowers to my bouquet) and overall was friendly. When I voiced my fears about the cost and time factors, he told me "honey, if you want something you've never seen before, you're going to have to trust". He was absolutely right, so despite the lack of response to my follow-up email of reference photos/thoughts, I waited excitedly to see what he came up with. When I first left the bridal suite for photos, there were no rose petals to be found in the aisle, and the floor arch was a near-perfect replica of the inspo photo I sent (a truly lovely act of plagiarism, and I cherish those photos). In response to my sinking expression and inability to recognize my bouquet when I walked past it (the utter lack of color and personality led me to see it in its vase and think it was decor) the coordinator told me the florists had left, but she would call them to come back and fix the aisle. When I walked into the reception space for the first time, my heart dropped into my stomach. Instead of hanging in a cluster over the dance floor, they had scattered the disco balls across the space on flimsy wire, low enough that people could touch them. In the center of the dance floor was an aggressively pink and dense floral arrangement. He plagiarized his own work here, and the main hanging element was strings of orchid flowers (even though we talked about amaranth several times) I have seen recycled in photos of his prior work at least twice. They ended up raining down on my guests the entire night and made the place look like a Barbie luau. When I've talked about my disappointment with friends and family since my wedding they all point out that they arrangement was very fun if you didn't know what the plan was. And maybe the flowers are beautiful. However, I can't see it because all I see when I look at them in my wedding photos is disappointing, unoriginal, and a half-assed attempt to deliver on the promises he made. Regarding our email exchange after the wedding, I don't understand how a person can do their job so poorly and then have the audacity to say they are "truly sorry this happened to you guys" (as if consoling us about something that was out of his control), but Lyn managed it. The good news for anyone reading this is that if Lyn decides to take your money and then proceed not to care about your wedding, he might give you a full refund too. You can choose whether or not you want to take him up on his offer of a private conversation afterwards to discuss how he can do better in the future. I certainly didn't feel compelled to give him any business advice if this is the type of person he is while conducting it. Tl;dr: my experience with Lyn left me with the impression that he seemed to think he was entitled to take my money and not to care one iota about any of the details of my wedding, besides a few cherry-picked details from our infrequent conversations, and then produce florals featuring a fair bit of plagiarism of both his own previous work and that of others, while calling it "custom".
