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!

Our Day was Perfect

Sorry it took me so long to leave this review but everything was perfect that day. The food was good, the staff was accommodating everything went how we wanted it to go. Now we’re getting ready to celebrate 5 years of marriage and going to renew our vows. I would definitely hire this vendor again.

Amazing food & service

The food is absolutely fantastic & the service is even better. Giselle and her team truly made our day come together, especially after we had to switch reception venues 3 days before our wedding. They did everything in their power to make everything come together & we were extremely impressed. I also must say that the food was the BEST- they truly made our vision of cocktail hour & our plated dinner come to life. JMC is professional, accommodating, & they have AMAZING food. Very grateful we selected JMC!

Wedding Oct. 2023 Positive Experience

John Michael Events catered our wedding at the Orlando Science Center. They offered an inclusive catering package, so we knew exactly what to expect. They were very responsive to all our questions, had great tasting parties with a wide variety of linen colors/place settings. The staff was very professional, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was very good, and they even provided a “goody” bag for us as we left the wedding. The guests were happy. John Michael Events did a great job for us.

Working with the John Michael Catering team was so easy and so great

Working with the John Michael Catering team was so easy and so great. There menu is massive so putting together a meal that fits for your guests is easy. Giselle was so easy to chat with and answered so many little questions throughout the process. Every single caterer we met through the tastings were kind. For those looking a year out it's really easy to make it to all of the tastings! They're quick and delicious, we took great notes and ranked all of the dishes so it was simple to determine our menu towards the end. Oh and they did an awesome job accommodating our guests allergies and dietary restrictions! The price was great, the ease was excellent, and the food was complimented on over and over again!
Oh- and don't skip the corn casserole... it's the best!

Affordable, lively, & excellent all around!

John Michael Events was an absolute pleasure to work with. The communication with Michael & Giselle was top notch and I appreciate that Michael took control because I am very much the “unsure/you pick/laid back” bride. They made sure that my linens on the reception tables & cocktail tables looked amazing. Our sweetheart table was beautifully arranged. The food was fantastic & I appreciated that we had a plate of hors d’oeuvres brought to us in the bridal suite after we took photos. Michael was very good about adding in a few extras on the week of the wedding and always stayed on top of everything. The staff were excellent & always has a smile on their faces which was appreciated! Hands down though, my favorite person was Ant, our bartender! He was so attentive & even came out onto the dance floor to interact. I highly recommend John Michael Events to anyone looking for a caterer for their future event!

Absolutely amazing experience!

From start to finish working with John Michaels was an absolute pleasure!

Giselle helped plan everything from the tastings, to table set up, menu, payments, everything and I cannot tell you how incredibly helpful she was along the way.

& The food! Oh my. Absolutely delicious - we have heard literally not one bad thing about any of it, the appetizers, main courses, the servers - all were literally fantastic. (I even had a few say it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had!).

I appreciate everything that everyone did to make our day run as smoothly as it did, definitely a 10 out of 10! 😍🥰😁

Best experience I could ask for

From when I initially reached out to ask about their services to the day of, Giselle and the whole staff where very responsive, informative, thorough, and helpful. I never had to wait long for answers and never had an issue scheduling meetings and tastings. The food and was delicious and beautifully laid out. The bartending staff was super friendly and made sure I stayed hydrated while I was getting ready. Once the ceremony was done, Giselle repurposed my ceremony flowers in my reception area beautifully though she wasn't asked and it didn't even occur to me that they can be used that way . All of them went above and beyond to make sure everything went off without a hitch and I could not recommend them more
