The BEST Experience

Our experience with JM was great from start to finish. Giselle helped me through all the planning and answered my endless questions. We also enjoyed attending their monthly tastings. On our wedding day, Josh (day of manager) and Debbie (bartender) stood out as superstar staff. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. I got praise from guests for days after our wedding. I could recommend their services over and over. Thank you John Michael!

My husband and I got married last month and used John Michael Events catering. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them! Heather was our coordinator and was always with me step by step, any time I had a question I would call or e-mail and she was on top of it. We met with the owner who showed us what the layout looked like, helped us choose our colors, dishes, glasses and gave us a detailed list of the agenda including the food we picked. We got samples of the food prior to the wedding so we knew exactly what we wanted. The day of the wedding they came fully prepared and organized, had all the tables and chairs in the correct order, and the food was absolutely amazing! I would hire them again for any other future catering needs.

John Michael Events did the catering and served the bar for our wedding. I really enjoyed working with them. They have so many options it was hard to choose our menu. Their team made sure we ate at our wedding and checked on us frequently for drinks and appetizers. Our guests loved that everything was labeled properly on the buffet as some of my family is gluten free. Also, the food was delicious. We got rave reviews on it. The bartenders were super efficient, hardly any waste, as we provided the alcohol and they gave us back what was unused at the end of the night. They provided the linens, plates, and flatware which were all beautiful and one less thing I had to worry about supplying.

We had our wedding at Lake Mary Events Center which had a list of approved caterers. We decided to check out JME and were pleasantly surprised after getting quotes from other caterers in the area. The price is reasonable for what is included and they are very flexible with the menu. Michael customized it to meet our needs since we had a brunch wedding.
During the planning process, Michael was so nice and pleasant to work with. He was very responsive and quick with emails. He addressed all of my questions and concerns and did his best to assist me in any way he could!
Day of the wedding, the staff was efficient and cheerful. We got a lot of compliments on the food which I have to agree with! The staff served food to our sweetheart table and ensured we got all the extra ramekins of toppings for our mashed potato martini bar. Luckily because food was brought to us, my husband and I got to eat and enjoy the food, which was super tasty! I highly recommend John Michael events to any bride in the Central Florida area!

They were amazing to work with. The food was fabulous and everyone raved about the beef tips. The service was very professional. The team responds right away to any questions or needs you might have. John Michael was very understanding of the demands of a wedding and catered to our every need. We dealt with Charlene and she was so helpful at every turn. I would definitely recommend using them for food and B350 bakery from their cake referral list.

Whoever makes the food knows what they're doing

My husband and I didn't have any of the problems other people in these reviews had! They were nice to work with throughout and honestly made the wedding planning a little LESS stressful. Giselle is so nice! Their free food tastings are a major plus to....please don't say no to free food.

Our guests LOVED the food and couldn't stop talking about it. I only had like 4 bites during the wedding because we were too busy going around to everyone but my husband and I are still eating our leftovers :-)

The only downside, selfishlessly, was that we got the flaming donut bar because my husband was obsessed over it and I NEVER GOT ANY!!!!
