Delicious food, exceptional service, and great people to work with! Hire this team!

Ryan Brown and his whole team were such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process and during the wedding! The food was so super delicious and our guests are still raving about the meal. We did family style for a party of 120 people and it worked out perfectly. Our guests loved being able to try everything. Also, the waiters and other staff that work with Ryan were super professional and such a joy to have at our wedding. Ryan and Patty are pros at what they do and they were amazing to work with when choosing a menu and when picking out our rental equipment. Our venue required us to bring almost everything in, but Ryan and Patty made the process super easy and they were beyond flexible with working with us to stay within our budget. Hiring Ryan Brown gave us immediate piece of mind knowing that we were in the best of hands. Ryan, thank you so much for being there for us and for providing us and our guests with the best meal ever! We are so grateful for all of your hard work and dedication to make our wedding so memorable! You're the best!!!

Rave Reviews Still Pouring In!

Patty, who helped coordinate everything for the food for our wedding, is a star! She was able to help adjust things to my tastes by making two stations into one (Potato Station & Skewer station became 'Meat & Potato Station) and was super helpful in coordinating rentals as well. The price is really reasonable, and and the food was amazing! Throughout the wedding, someone brought my husband and me food and drink, which was super helpful and much appreciated!

Overall, I really enjoyed the food, and my guests--who are used to the traditional sit-down dinner--loved the stations option. It was a hit and people are still telling me how great it was! I would definitely recommend to brides-to-be in the future!

Great catering, especially for those with food allergies!

Our wedding had a lot of guests (including the bride) with all different food allergies. Ryan made sure that all of the allergies were accommodated for and everything tasted incredible! Our guests gave us many compliments about the food, not even knowing that it was all allergy-friendly. Picking out the place settings was really fun as well, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and enjoyable. We highly recommend working with Ryan!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We have worked with Ryan Brown Catering and his team on private events. He's extremely professional and very easy to work with. His team was super helpful and friendly. We referred them to one of our clients that we were working with and our client was really happy with their services. I would definitely recommend and use again.
