Maison & Jardin Restaurant

Ceremony & Reception: From the first meeting, Brittany, the coordinator at Maison was great. I emailed her throughout the planning process, from January 2007 when we booked, all the way up to the week of the wedding...she always responded timely and never acted like I was a bother. She gave great suggestions and was always extremely pleasant. The staff there is very classy, every single one of them. Our guests had nothing but great things, no one was left thirsty, whenever you got up, you came back to your seat to find the napkin folded...everything was kept looking nice and refreshed the entire evening. Maurice attended to us at our tasting, and we requesting him to also be there for our wedding...he always made sure DH and I were pleased and had everything we needed. Maurice even brought some passed hors d'oeuvres to us and our family during photos while all our guests were enjoying the same at the cocktail hour. DH and I didn't really get to have any during photos...so after photos were done, before we were introduced into the reception, we got a little private time alone...and they had a plate with a sampling of all the hors d'oeuvres just for us! Maison had vendor relations for linens, and they also rent out gold chiavari reception chairs at an unheard of price. The ceremony was held in the North Lawn, the cocktail hour in the South Terrace, and the reception in the Gallerie Room. We had approximately 125 guest and fit very comfortably. I would highly recommend Maison Jardin for any function!

Caterer: Growing up in Orlando, I'd heard of Maison Jardin long before we started planning our wedding. They have been around as a restaurant for years, and rightfully so, their food is fantastic. In October 2006, they went from a restaurant to only doing private functions. The tastings are private...you set up a time/day with the coordinator and it's like you're going for dinner out. DH and I went with my parents for our tasting...we had the soup, salad, and combo entree plate along with dessert (in place of wedding cake). We made some minor changes after the tasting...for example, we asked that all the Filet Mignon be cooked medium instead of medium rare...no problem. Brittany was very helpful in assisting us during our menu selection. She helped us choose a good variety of hors d'oeuvres for the cocktail hour...then our dinner selection, we opted for a soup, salad and combination filet mignon & chicken wellington entree so the guests would have a little of each instead of choosing solely chicken or beef. There were also vegetarian and childrens dinner options. The food was outstanding...serving hot foods hot and cold foods cold. All the guests were pleased. If you have a function planned at Maison...you should have no worries about the food being good! Highly recommended!
