Garden City Spirits was founded by Janine Lagundzin, a proud Brock University graduate whose passion for Niagara’s rich history inspired more than just her academic journey—it helped shape a business rooted in place, people, and purpose. While pursuing her degrees, Janine worked in hospitality, gaining years of hands-on experience as a bartender and server, and developing a deep appreciation for the power of great service.

The name Garden City Spirits is a tribute to the region she calls home—a nod to both the area's identity and the thoughtful spirit behind every drink served. It’s a name that speaks to heritage, hospitality, and heart, all wrapped into one.

Supported by an incredible team of enthusiastic colleagues, loyal clients, family, friends, and her ever-encouraging partner, Janine leads Garden City Spirits with professionalism and gratitude. Garden City Spirits offers more than just bartending—they help create experiences that feel personal, polished, and distinctly local.

Whether you're planning an elegant wedding, an intimate celebration, or a memorable corporate gathering, Garden City Spirits is here to elevate your event—one meaningful pour at a time.
