    Look no further!

    We used DCFG for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day catering. The food, service and quality were top-notch. They were quick to respond and so easy to work with. Living in Michigan, we did not find the opportunity to make it down for a tasting but all our guests had excellent things to say about the food. My personal favorites were the truffle mac & cheese and green beans. They were extremely accommodating for our guests with dietary restrictions. Chef Cass was SO MUCH FUN! They also packaged all leftover food so we could enjoy the delicious food on the following day. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    Every single bite of food they made all weekend was amazing. Our guests told us it was the best food they have ever eaten hands down! They catered 3 days for us and each day was a different theme and vibe and they nailed it!!! I would highly recommend for all your wedding needs. The staff was on top of it all as well. Very professional. We couldn’t have been happier with it and we have plenty of left overs to snack on!!!! Highly recommend.

    Catering Vendor that goes ABOVE and BEYOND

    If you’re looking for a vendor that just does the bare minimum, DCFG is not for you. If you’re looking for a vendor that goes above and beyond to give you delicious food (and fulfill other needs!), check them out.

    From the very beginning, my husband and I were impressed with DCFG. Their team was incredibly responsive via email and were able to quickly schedule a food tasting. The tasting itself was delicious and they were very receptive to feedback (and reflected said feedback on their day of menu notes). They required a small deposit to hold our reservation and allowed us to update our guest numbers up to a week prior to the event. And the costs for five appetizers, three meat options, a late night snack, and food for our vendors were incredibly affordable.

    But they didn’t stop there. When we were struggling to find a place for our rehearsal dinner, DCFG offered us multiple food packages. When we needed someone to move furniture after our ceremony for the wedding reception, the DCFG team stepped in. When we wanted to have some coffee for our guests, DCFG had a vendor.

    It is clear that DCFG centers customer experience and excellent service in everything they do. We could not have had as successful a wedding as we had if not for them.

    Absolutely Amazing

    Kenny and the gang at DCFG were absolutely amazing every step of the way. The food was outstanding, our friends and family are still raving about our food served at our wedding. My only regret is not having them cater our rehearsal as well.

    Tasty and extremely professional

    DCFG is the BEST!!!
    Their customer service is top notch. They have the quickest email responses I’ve ever seen and as a recent bride that was super important during the planning process.

    Everyone at our wedding loved the food: vacio steak, herb chicken breast, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, Greek salad, seasonal veggies, mini mousse cups, key lime cake squares, and every single appetizer was phenomenal.

    The staff at my wedding was extremely kind and professional.

    If you are looking for a caterer who is reliable and will provide high quality food and service, you need DCFG.

    We are still dreaming about the food from our wedding day!

    We cannot recommend Dade County Food Group enough!! From the first phone call, throughout the planning process to the big day -- they were with us every step of the way, answering our questions, making reservations and giving us suggestions. We don't live in Florida, so my parents did the taste testing (lucky them!) and they were so impressed with the professionalism of the team and the taste of the food. Two weeks later our guests are still raving about the food!!!!

    We had DCFG for both the rehearsal and reception. Not only was the food AMAZING, but so was the staff! I highly recommend using them for your next event. I sent tons of emails with questions and changes and was always responded to promptly and professionally. Also huge shout out to Cheff Cass for going above and beyond he was so fun and personable and the food was delicious!

    The food was amazing!!!!

    For my daughter's wedding, we hired DCFG to serve the wedding dinner buffet. They provided a great menu with amazing selections in every price range imaginable. We were able to offer two premium meat selections, three sides, two salads, and 5 passed apps. Later in the evening they provide three sweet late night bites. All of the food was amazing and we had guests commenting that the Wagyu beef steak was the best they had ever had. It was all perfectly cooked, fresh and I knew we had chosen the best of the best when my sons returned not once, but twice to fill their plates. The servers and bartender were incredible and floated with smiles amongst the guests offering the delicacies we had chosen. It was a dream. Well done DCFG - you all were incredible.

    Amazing Food!

    Dade County was highly recommended by the lighthouse. We don't have words to express how incredible their food is. We came down a few months ago for a tasting and they knocked it out. So, when it came to food, we used them for all three days. The welcome dinner was an incredible taco night. It was amazing. The wedding was a plated dinner and their food and table work was exceptional. The final day was a BBQ. I should point out that one of the owners is a competitive BBQ person, so when it came to the ribs and brisket, it was off the charts. WE had a lot of requests and changes especially with food sensitivities, allergies and things like that. Nothing was an issue. It was flawless. All we can say is thank you to their team. They arrived early, and made sure everything was done perfectly.

    Jacklyn and Daniel Wedding - Dec. 17, 2022

    Brian & Chelsea were very easy to work with throughout the process for our daughter's wedding. This was the first time we planned and put together an event of this scale and their patience and understanding was remarkable. Brian quoted us a very fair price from the very beginning, and proactively found ways to save us even more money. Their payment terms were way beyond reasonable, and we never once felt that it was about money for them. The day of the event they were ready to rock! Chelsea was our assigned manager, and she orchestrated a challenging event, which was interrupted by rain at a crucial juncture, with relative ease. The appetizers and plated dinner dishes were superb. The bar ran smoothly all night, despite the logistical issues posed by the rain, and having to shuffle staff, liquor, and accessories to a second bar location. The late night bites were outstanding!! We had several guests approach us (the bride's parents) throughout the night telling us that the food was delicious! We would not hesitate to recommend DCFG or use them again. They absolutely crushed it!

    Hire Brian and DCFG!

    Brian and the DCFG team are so awesome. They totally executed for us, answered all 800 of my emails and took notes on every single idea we had. From our beautiful pink and purple welcome drinks (still not sure how this was even pulled off!!!), to the delicious and beautiful food (the short rib is still being talk about) and awesome staff - everything top notch. He even threw some extra top shelf liquor bottles onto our bar, which was so extremely generous and amazing. Guests went on and on about how great the bartenders were, too! Brian has a really laid back energy too - very cool and approachable. Working with this company is not like working with some of the other stuffy wedding caterers. DCFG is a good time!!

    The Most Professional and Accommodating Team

    If I could only recommend one vendor from our amazing wedding, it would 100% be Brian's team at DCFG. They truly *made* the reception experience for us and our guests. They have an excellent selection of menu options for appetizers, entrees and salads. We had a wonderful time trying everything at our tasting experience. The best part was meeting the team, who were all super fun to work with. You can tell how much they truly care and put in the effort so that their clients can have the best possible experience for their big day.

    The entire staff was extremely kind, professional and accommodating! Everything on our wedding day went smoothly, and we definitely appreciate the team circling back to my husband and I to make sure we got enough apps to eat at the cocktail hour. The entrees were delicious, and the drinks were even better. DCFG is definitely worth the consideration for any event and is an amazing value for the services they offer.

    We hired Dade County Food Group to cater our wedding weekend, and Brian, the owner, was just amazing to work with. He was so helpful throughout the entire process, and they were extremely flexible and accommodating. The staff that catered our events for all 3 days of our destination wedding weekend was an absolute pleasure!

    One of the easiest choices to make!

    My husband and I hired Dade County Food Group for our wedding in Key Largo and were not disappointed! Brian was knowledgable, had good suggestions, and was overall fun to work with. We enjoyed the complimentary tasting to narrow down our menu-which was really hard because everything tasted so good! The fact they provide such high end service as well as a full bar/bartenders made choosing them a no brainer. Afterward, everyone raved about the amazing food and cocktails served! If you're considering them for your event, DO IT!

    Don't walk, RUN and hire DCFG.

    Dade County Food Group catered our wedding this past Sunday, we have not stopped getting calls about how delicious everything was. The brisket was so delicious, the mac and cheese, everything was just on point. Good food was the most important thing to us and Brian's team didn't disappoint. Brian is a gem. He made everything easy and fun. He was always available and answered questions we didn't even know we had. I could go on and on about him, every time we spoke I left the conversation knowing we had made the perfect choice. His on-site team was also amazing. So sweet, so attentive. They made our day so perfect!
