Zöe and Emma are two local Mums that run the very professional Canopies & Canapés. Asking them to help bespoke our wedding day was the best decision we made. C&C took the stress out of our planning, their ideas and attention to detail are incredible. Throughout the process of organising they were on-call 24/7 and kept us up to date with invoices so we were always within budget. From day one my wife and I were made to feel like friends, not clients, for which we will remain. I cannot speak highly enough of these two wonderful girls and the joy they brought us for our big day. C&C are a must for any event.

Zoe and Emma did such a fantastic job for us yesterday, helping organise our daughter’s 18th birthday party. Their attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. They made the venue look fantastic and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much! ��

User

Wow - where do I start !! I am so pleased that the words ‘ let’s get Canopies and Canapés to organise your party ‘ came out of my mouth when deciding to have a 40th birthday party at home for my husband !!

Emma and Zoe are absolutely brilliant and I’m not lying when I say they took care of EVERYTHING. I don’t actually think I had to lift a finger from party invitations , table decorations , furniture , DJ’s , Caterers , unique 40 signs , place settings , Cocktail Bar , glasses and crockery , welcome drinks .... I’m sure I haven’t mentioned everything either .... They even managed to get hold of Southend United’s Mascot and Emma did the fabulous job of dressing up in it .... It was all just perfect and completely took the stress away of not only having to organise your own party but both worked the whole way through the day and evening aswell behind the scenes making sure it all went according to plan.

We can’t thank you both enough

We asked Canopies & Canapés to organise our Wedding 10 months ago. From day one they put us at ease, listened to what we wanted and provided some really creative ideas and solutions to make our Wedding become a reality. They took a lot of the stress away from organising a wedding and we were so impressed with the all of the hard work that they put in to get everything just right. Their attention to detail is amazing!! I can honestly say that without Zoe & Emma our wedding would not have happened. We had an amazing day and would highly recommend using Canopies & Canapés.

To say that these ladies are good would be an understatement. Having recently entrusted them with organising a party for my 10th wedding anniversary, they didn't let me down. From the invites (including a wonderful one for my wife), finding the venue to formalising the event details they are fantastic. They truly understand their clients, and deliver the events they want. Their attention to detail is second to none, and means you can enjoy your evening rather than be involved in the organisation.



The best decision I made was to get Zoe and Emma involved, and they will be my first call on future events

Talented, professional, easy to work with and our Centrepieces for our Awards Evening were out of this World! Thank you both for everything!

I had the pleasure of working with Zoe & Emma, catering for a birthday party in Shoeburyness. The girls seamlessly put together a fantastic party with caterers, cocktail bar, dj's and themed decor with excellent attention to detail. Don't look any further with your event planning 🎉

User

I can only thank and praise Zoe and Emma for all their hard work, skill, style, panache and unending patience and dedication in making my 60 th party look absolutely amazing!!! The Bay Room at the Roslin Hotel was transformed into a beachy twinkly dream - I adored it and so many of the guests commented on how gorgeous the room was.



Thank you girls - you are stars �������� xx

I can highly recommend my very talented sister! Please don't make her too busy before August though, she had a very important wedding and party to plan! x

User

Highly professional and amazing attention to detail from start to finish. Having recently worked with these guys on a professional basis I cannot recommend them enough. Communication is key when dealing with other businesses in the events industry and it was evident from the first email that they have a genuine passion about the events they host and accept nothing less than getting it perfect. A breath of fresh air in an industry where some accept mediocrity as the norm.
