Reviews of Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events

Professional and so thoughtful

My husband and I have always loved Founding Farmers restaurants, so we were excited to consider them as our wedding caterer. From the moment I spoke with Hillary Miko, FF's director of catering and events, I knew I wanted to work with her and the team. Hillary is outstanding at what she does—professional, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful. She helped me navigate decisions around decor and menu choices, and truly listened to the vision I had for our day. She even created a custom "steak frites" appetizer just for us after I told her how much I loved that dish!

Chef Matt was equally amazing. The food was absolutely delicious—our guests are still raving about it. He even surprised us by adding edible flowers to our salads, and they were so beautiful I could have cried.

The entire Founding Farmers team—from servers to bartenders—was kind, attentive, and made everything run smoothly. Their service was top-notch.

And as the cherry on top: Hillary and the team knew how much I love Taylor Swift and wanted to dance to All Too Well at my wedding, so they surprised us on the dance floor with red scarves. It was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that I’ll never forget.

I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Founding Farmers. I don't think many folks in DC think of them as an option for wedding catering, but this is your sign to do it—you’ll be so glad you did!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
