Plan Your SimchaThe Village Shul has contracts with three of Toronto’s finest catering establishments. Each caterer will do their best to make your simcha a truly joyous, worry-free event. Whether it is a small, intimate dessert reception or a full plated dinner for 200, our caterers are happy to help you from start to finish. We encourage interested parties to call the caterers directly and to speak to them. It will allow you to gain a better understanding of your simcha itself. Each caterer will want you to describe the event as you best envision it, will ask you a series of questions related to it and then will return to you with a quote. MarronJacob’s Catering
