"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."

"It was incredible! Everyone was so professional, attentive and friendly. Most importantly, the food was delicious, and we received many compliments. The service definitely exceeded our expectations! We are so glad they were part of our event and highly recommend!"

"From when I initially reached out to ask about their services to the day of, Giselle and the whole staff were very responsive, informative, thorough, and helpful. The food was delicious and beautifully laid out. 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."

"John Michael Catering is an incredible caterer! As the in-house event planner at The Balcony Orlando, I love recommending John Michael Catering. Their communication is stellar, and Giselle was such a pleasure to work with! She was flexible with my couple's needs and made the tasting experience so easy for myself and my couple!"

"We’ve tested the entire menu to decide what we want to serve at our wedding and the staff, food and quickness to respond to my questions have been amazing. I have no doubt the day will be just as stress-free and easy!"

"John Michael catering was very personable throughout the whole planning process and during the day they made us feel very confident that it was all going off without a hitch! Although as the bride and groom we didn’t get to eat as much as we wanted to, our guests continuously said how everything was amazing! Thank you, JM! :)"

This place was awesome for my wedding. They catered dinner for 100 people at Tavares Pavilion and did a super job. They were able to handle special requests for vegetarian kids meals, they were flexible leading up to the event, the food was good, and the service was phenomenal. Prices were very fair and the bar bill ended up being lower than expected. They did a great job making sure my husband and I were looked after and kept handing me water anytime I walked by and they fixed us plates and packed up leftovers. The vendors, guests, and venue were all happy and I would gladly book again.

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

First time I have reviewed a caterer! I never thought to look for catering reviews until I tried this food at a private event and was quite impressed. So here it goes... I highly recommend! Everything was absolutely juicy and delicious.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with JM as your caterer for you event! They helped set up our venue (Leu Gardens), and made everything look PERFECT! All of our guests talked about how amazing the food was- even the most judgemental eaters!! Honestly, one of our friends is a food critic and he even said the food was some of the best food he ever had at a wedding! Working with Giselle and Michael made everything run very smoothly! We are very big nerds, so we wanted to have a Dungeons and Dragons D20 Tower to roll for bar drinks.... 20 drinks on a list. I am so happy how accomodating and excited JM was to do this unique request! Our two signature drinks were even better than we imagined! Everyone on the catering team was very professional and personable. We also received an amazing to-go package of our food and dessert! Again, using JM Catering for our wedding was an amazing decision and worth every penny we spent!

Not only were the tastings leading up to our wedding so much fun and made the planning process extremely exciting, but the actual day of our wedding was amazing because of the exceptional service and food that John Michael provided. Justin and his team went above and beyond to make our special day memorable for us and our guests. We still get compliments on our food and my mom won't stop talking about how amazing the staff was and it really is true. Our drinks were never empty and a bartender even kept bringing water out to me (the bride) on the dance floor. I can't thank them enough! Hire them for your wedding, you won't regret it!!!

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!

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.

The team at John Michael was a pleasure to work with from day one planning our wedding! We worked with Giselle and she was such a huge help! She was always answering our questions about the menu and planning process and was a pleasure to communicate with. The food was absolutely perfect and the table setups for our reception were beyond beautiful! The staff were so kind to us and our guests. I could go on and on about how amazing John Michael is and I most definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or event!

I did a diamond package with John Michael and my wedding was absolutely perfect. They offer free tastings to try all their foods and meet the vendors that they offer for their packages. Everything for my wedding turned out exactly how I imagined! Giselle the coordinator was quick to respond, a problem solver, always calm, and I didn’t even need a rehearsal because she really knows what she is doing. I knew I trusted her right away! If I could give 100 stars I would. Just so anyone knows for the package this is who I chose: catering-John Michael, flowers- Atmospheres floral, DJ and photo booth-power entertainment, cake-it’s tasty too, officiant- sensational ceremonies, photography-sterling photography. The photos below are not the professional ones just FYI!

John Michaels exceeded my expectations with their tasting events. It really gave me a true sense of what to expect on our wedding day, from the napkins to the cups to the food buffet setup. I have to admit, it took me about 3 or 4 tastings to fully appreciate the quality of their food. One tasting just didn’t cut it, so I highly recommend attending as many as you can. It's also a great opportunity to see how the staff interacts, which is key to knowing how they’ll handle things with your guests on the big day. The food was a major highlight, and I received so many compliments! A big thank you to John Michaels and especially to Giselle, who answered all my questions without ever making me feel like a bother. I did consider going with a cheaper company, but in the end, it all came out to the same price once you factor in all the extras—silverware, plates, napkins, and quality service. I’m so glad I chose John Michaels for their top-tier service and attention to detail.

Couldn’t say better things about John Michael catering- absolutely a 5 star service every step of the way. Michael and Giselle were fantastic in helping me with my baby shower catering. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were nothing short of outstanding. Will definitely use them in the future!!

John Michael's catered our wedding and were amazing the whole time. All of our guests loved the food and the service throughout the night. During the planning they were extremely organized with great communication and always double checked with us for anything that needed clarification. They also hold frequent group tasting events so you can try everything on the menu. They know what they are doing and I highly recommend them.

John Michael catering company executed flawlessly, providing an exceptional service and a menu that was thoroughly enjoyed by 1100 employees, ensuring the success of our event and leaving attendees thoroughly satisfied. Our employees enjoyed their veggie burgers so much that we actually ran out, indicating the need to increase this offering for future events.
Great job overall!
