Event canape design — NZ tailored bites
Thoughtful canapé design for weddings, corporate launches, and private events across New Zealand. We focus on seasonal produce, clear dietary labelling and show-stopping presentation.
Our approach
We design canapés to match the event tone — elegant passed canapés for cocktails, substantial bites for networking, and themed assortments for weddings. All menus are sourced from local NZ suppliers with vegan and allergen-forward options.
- Seasonal, locally sourced ingredients
- Clear dietary tagging (vegan, GF, dairy-free)
- Scalable production for 20–2000 guests
Signature canapé collections
Classic NZ
Smoked hoki bites, kumara crostini, and rosemary lamb skewers — familiar flavours with an elevated finish.
Vibrant Vegan
Beetroot tartlets, smoky mushroom skewers and citrus marinated tofu bites — colourful, protein-rich options.
Canapé grazing
Stationed grazing boards built from small canapé pieces — ideal for relaxed networking and mingling events.
