Marigolds & Onions

I don't think this review will do justice for how amazing M&O (especially Jordan) really are!!! From the moment I contacted Jordan, he was so responsive, professional, and friendly. My husband and I recently got married at Steam Whistle Brewing, and when I was originally researching caterers, I had contacted a few different ones. Jordan responded within two days, with a full quote and everything that I needed (compared to others who took 2+ weeks!). I booked M&O right there, because of how organized, prompt and professional M&O (and that was just from the first couple of interactions).

Fast forward a few months and let the planning begin... I was one of those brides that had 32 questions on a weekly basis - every time I contacted Jordan, he was always so quick to respond, with what seemed like a smile (I sensed this over email lol). When my husband and I went for our tasting, Al (owner of M&O) came in and introduced himself. My thought, "Wow, this is a catering company that does events like Rogers Cup, yet the owner makes an effort to introduce himself to every client, no matter what the size of the event is." This tells you something about the company - they value every client and make sure that every event is special.

Now, the day of the wedding - Jordan and his team are hands down, the best team ever! From the set up, to the queing of our wedding party, to the food, to EVERYTHING - this team did it all, and better than I could have ever imagined. (I promise I'm a real client and not sponsored in any way). Every single guest came up to my husband and I and said that this is the best wedding they have ever attended, and the food was UNREAL (the Steam Whistle Short Ribs is the best meal I've ever had - hands down).

From the bottom of my heart, Jordan and M&O: THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! You made the most amazing day so special and I hope to cross paths with Jordan and with M&O team again and again and again <3 Again, THANK YOU. Al: you have built such an amazing company and please know how special your team is.

With love,

I can not recommend Marigolds and Onion and Jordan in particular enough. The food was absolutely amazing. Many guests from my wedding commented that it was the best wedding food they ever had. Jordan was organized, pleasant and made sure that our day was absolutely perfect and free of stress. He went above and beyond as a coordinator. I would highly recommend this company!!!

We loved working with Jordan & team. Our wedding was at Steamwhistle so they gave us a few caterers to choose from. I contacted a different caterer initially who I’d eaten the food of before and enjoyed and asked for a quote. I was planning the wedding 2 years in advance so this caterer didn’t seem to want to give me a quote so early but I needed it for budgeting purposes (weddings are expensive I needed to save!!) so I eventually managed to get a number with a lot of back and forth and rudeness!! I thought it would be worth getting a second quote just to check this first caterer wasn’t over charging so I contacted M&O. Jordan was so lovely and seemed really keen to give us anything we needed and also provided an example schedule of the day which made me feel like they knew what they were doing and would make the day very easy as M&O would organise everything so it was a no brainer to go with them. Jordan was very responsive throughout the whole process and when we tasted the food we asked for a couple of changes and these were incorporated into our menu. We had a fair few allergies/special food requests and these were all met perfectly! The day itself went extremely well with Jordan working with the MC to ensure everything happened at the right time and everyone loved the food. The catering staff were also very polite and lovely to have around on our special day. I would recommend M&O to anyone planning a wedding at Steamwhistle or elsewhere!

My husband and I were researching caterers for our late April wedding and in the end had agreed on three good candidates; one of which was M&O. Right from the get-go the correspondence from Jordan was prompt and concise. When the day came for the initial tasting my husband and I were both excited because who wouldn't want to taste a variation of delicious food?! We finally got to meet Jordan in-person and we immediately we knew we were in good hands. The conversation flowed naturally and the food was fantastic (even my fussy eater husband enjoyed it all). As soon as we walked out the door we both agreed that they would be our wedding caterer. In the months that followed we had decided to change a few of our passed canapes choices and asked if we could come in for a second tasting to ensure our new selections would reflect our tastes. Jordan was more than accommodating and we dropped in to taste more delicious bites. Its so easy to talk about how good the food was but major accolades should be given to Jordan. He was always calm and knowledgeable on everything from venue set-up to the day-of schedules. The wedding day was a complete success! Our guests were beside themselves over the food and staff. We had multiple people approaching us all night complementing not only the quality of the food but also how quickly it was served from the kitchen (everyone loves hot food!). The staff expertly managed all the allergies and special requests. Its safe to say that not only would we use them again for events in the future but we would recommend them to anyone as well.
