LUXURY
CUISINE
It was especially important for both Melissa and Joey
that the food and service be of the highest quality.
“I wanted a night where all of my guests could enjoy
our celebration and feel treated and spoiled,” shares
Melissa. Executive Chef Michael Robertson of oliver
& bonacini events and catering designed a
luxurious three-course meal, keeping Melissa and
Joey’s love of food in mind. Guests enjoyed an heirloom
tomato salad with buffalo mozzarella, orecchiette with
summer truffles, pan roasted Wellington County beef
tenderloin, and seared sustainable sea bass. A fleet of
servers had limited edition Bottega Rose Gold Prosecco
on hand for the wedding toast.

NOTES
The bride’s aunt prepared cannoli shells
and filling, following the late Nonna
Galifi’s recipe, and oliver & bonacini
events and catering served them on-site
by freshly filling them as guests
approached the dessert station. A sign on
the station read “Nonna Galifi’s Cannoli.”
A seven-piece band (including Juno award-winning
singer Ivana Santilli) from talenttor inc. was on
hand during the reception. “My favourite moment was
our first dance. We were on a tiered stage in the middle
of the dining room, surrounded by candles, dancing
under the floral ceiling and chandeliers while Talenttor
Inc.’s Sean Jones sang ‘All of Me’ by John Legend,”
Melissa reminisces fondly. To capture every special
moment of the day, the couple enlisted filmmaker
James Frodyma of james frodyma wedding films.
DJ Daniel Buckman of bellosound continued to
entertain the guests at the after party when the dancing
really took off. In between dancing, guests were treated
to a selection of savoury and sweet late night snacks.
For those with a craving for something salty, there was
truffle popcorn, gourmet fish and chips, and pulled
pork sliders from Oliver & Bonacini Events and
Catering. Guests with a sweet tooth snacked on
delightful miniature ice cream sandwiches from sweet
sammies ice cream sandwich co. At the end of the
night, each guest took home custom candles with the
couple’s personalized “M&J” crest from arti &
mestieri.
The couple followed the event with a romantic
honeymoon where they visited Dubai (staying at the
armani hotel) and Abu Dhabi. They then continued
on to the Maldives, where they stayed in a beach villa and
an idyllic overwater bungalow.
