Nicole Sent on 02/07/2020Best Caterer and Staff!
We got married at the Windmill Winery in November 2019. We were fortunate to have the venue approve the use of an outside cater, Bruce Brown Catering. Susan, Bruce, and her staff were amazing to work with throughout the year. To start, we had so much fun during our food tasting a few months before the big day; they made it super special and something to remember through the hecticness of wedding planning, it was a fun little date night for the two of us. The day of I didn’t have to worry at all! Susan and her team helped set up the venue including my extensive seating chart for 165 guests. I must admit I am a bit of a control freak, so it was very hard for me to give my trust over to another to make the images in my head come to life. They exceeded my expectations! Everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect! In addition to the set-up, the food was AMAZING! We did chicken and beef with salad, veggies, and layered potatoes. We are still getting compliments on the food and decor even months later! The Bruce Brown Catering team were professional and helped the planning go off with such ease, thank you Susan, Bruce, and team!!Bruce Brown Catering's reply:

We appreciated your attention to detail and it was such a pleasure to be part of your Special Day! -

Bruce Brown was amazing from beginning to end. Susan and Bruce are both amazing. Susan was willing to come out and look at the reception space (private home for wedding reception) before my husband and I had even signed a contract because I was concerned about space. She put together a floor plan that was flexible and helped me realize my dream of a backyard wedding was possible. The food was AMAZING! So many of our guests talked about the food even days after the wedding was over. We had three types of appetizers and then a buffet style brunch. Susan also put together the florals on our personal cake beautifully and was such a nice personal touch. We appreciate Bruce and Susan so much for making our day so memorable and special for not only us but everyone who was our guest. They went above and beyond our expectations. We cannot wait to work with them again in the future. -

Words cannot express how awesome Bruce, Susan and the rest of the Bruce Brown Catering team were from the planning stages of our wedding to the day of. You all truly made our wedding extra special with your dedication, attention to detail, service and patience.
Susan – I have to give a special shout out to you for going above and beyond, even in areas where most catering companies wouldn’t care to help out with. From acting as a second planner on the day of (in addition to our planner who was also busy being a bridesmaid) to being flexible and accommodating with our guests’ food allergies and finally for helping us cut costs for the extra tables and chairs that we needed, there are no words to express our gratitude. Since the beginning, your communication has been on point and never did we feel like just another wedding to you. I think what sets Bruce Brown Catering apart all the others is how much you care, which really helped ease many of the stressors that can come with planning a wedding.
Now let’s talk about the food! In addition to yummy hors d’oeuvres, our guests had a selection of a NY strip steak with a red wine sauce, grilled chicken breast with a balsamic reduction, macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi and finally (my favorite) a vegetable wellington. Not only did the guests rant and rave about how delicious the food was, but they also complimented how the food came to their table nice and warm. With 170 people to feed, your team did an amazing job – especially with making sure all the steaks were perfectly cooked, which they were. The pride Bruce has in his cooking really shows with the quality (and local) ingredients that he uses as well as the presentation. My husband and I know that our wedding isn’t the only time we will work with Bruce Brown again. We are already talking about future events where we’d like to have them cater for us!
We are so happy to have selected Bruce Brown Catering for our wedding and want to thank everyone again for the amazing experience!

User1952815 Sent on 12/05/2014OMG! OMG! OMG! Can I say any more? Bruce Brown Catering catered my daughter's wedding at Boojum Tree Hidden Gardens. I had several financial challenges leading up to the wedding and Bruce and Susan couldn't have been more accommodating. They worked with us on every detail. While I didn't want a buffet, (but my pocketbook dictated it), Susan made sure that the buffet was top notch. We had passed hor d'ourves and stations at the cocktail hour and there was literally not one moment when our guests didn't have food. The presentation was exceptional and staff was incredible (actually one of our guests had a heart attack in the parking lot and thanks to one of the staff members who went above and beyond to help, no one was even aware of the commotion - who does that?)
Not only did Bruce Brown provide a large quantity of food, but the quality of the food was exceptional The raw seafood station with crab claws, jumbo shrimps, oysters and ceviche - was a HUGE hit and created the WOW factor.
We chose Bruce Brown after reading some disturbing reviews on our original caterer and I'm so glad that we made that decision. Food is a big factor in making a memorable wedding, so if you want great memories, customized service, great food and great value - Bruce Brown Catering is the ONLY caterer you should be considering. -
User2088163 Sent on 04/06/2015Bruce Brown catering was very friendly and helpful when we were deciding who to go with. After we signed the contract I felt as though the friendliness greatly diminished. The tasting was amazing and we loved the food, however the day of fell short for us. We had a plate of cold food and had many guests tell us their food was all cold as well...this is not ideel for chicken and pork. We also noticied the entrees were both very dry. We also paid for 9 meals that were not utilitized due to a change in headcount yet we were never offered to have food boxed up to take home even though we had previously discussed it. The service staff seemed friendly and attentive though we were never offered any hors' d' oeuvres during cocktail hour and therefore didn't have any. This was our greatest expense and I was somewhat disappointed after all was said and done. I know the food and recipes were of top quality but with the costs we paid, the presentation did not reach the value we paid plus basically throwing away about $500 on meals that no one ate.
