LETS YOU VISIT A WEDDING BEFORE DEPOSIT

With hardly any advertising they rely strictly on word of mouth and apparently the word has gotten around. Located on Highway #58 in Thorold, a wedding at John Michael’s can accommodate up to 400 guests. They pride themselves on creating your perfect fairy tale wedding with leaving no detail unnoticed. They will even let you visit the banquet centre during another couple’s wedding to get a feel for the atmosphere before you put down a deposit. Another special feature of John Michael’s is the anti-pasta bar served before the receiving line featuring delectable meats, cheeses, seafood, and even a sushi bar if you ask nicely. And don’t worry! The wedding party can still whet their palates before the guests arrive. Visit the John Michael’s website www.johnmichaels.ca to check out the facilities and then call 905-227-7072 to make your first consultation.
