    June Wedding

    We were so happy we chose to work with Dean and Brown for our wedding! They were responsive and answered every question we had when planning. The day of the wedding they outdid themselves! The food was fantastic and we had a large portion. So many of our guests complemented the food as well. Their staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day. One member brought my husband his own fresh tray of cucumber shrimp, and we had multiple plates of hors d'oeuvres at our head table during dinner so we did not miss out. Little moments like this is what makes Dean and Brown so wonderful!

    Madison & Zach Smith

    Dean and Brown catering is the best catering service around. They truly care about their clients and are passionate in the work they do. The experienced chiefs create amazing dishes. The quality is unmatched. The catering team not only caters the food but they do all things necessary to ensure your special day will go smoothly. We would not have wanted anyone else for our special day. Thank you Terry, Steve, Christina, Lauren and all the staff members.

    The caterer company to go with

    We hired Dean and Brown to provide catering to our wedding, and as a couple from out of state, it was difficult for us to be on site for many of the decisions and we wanted a caterer we could trust. Dean and Brown made our wedding an absolutely stress-free magical time, and far exceeded our expectations. The food was top notch (our guests would not stop raving about it), and the attention to detail throughout the wedding elevated it to the next level. The staff were warm, welcoming and professional, ensuring all guests were taken care of. They even provided a small portable table that held our drinks while family photos were being taken. I would highly recommend Dean and Brown to anyone that is looking for outstanding food, excellent service and reasonable prices!

    Incredible catering team

    We had the pleasure of working with D&B for our May 2024 wedding and it all started in the winter for 2022 when we reached out for a quote. We absolutely loved our taste-testing session and Terry & Christina were so wonderful to work with! I have a dietary restriction and they were able to make me my own gluten-free plate to enjoy while still having a bunch of delicious options for our guests. In fact, so many commented on how incredible the food was! One of our mains was the chicken piccata and it was the highest praised dish of the night. The catering staff were extremely professional and pleasant, and they worked incredibly well with the venue, our coordinator, and all of the other vendors to make our wedding night run so smoothly. We truly had a dream team! We had a small issue post-wedding and although D&B was not involved, Christina called me directly to go over the details and provide her expertise. We even received a sweet thank you note in the mail after we returned from our honeymoon! We highly recommend Dean and Brown for catering large events with very reasonably priced options.

    Absolutely amazing!!!

    Dean and Brown Catering was the best caterer we could have asked for! Throughout the entire process, they were extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. They were very professional and the food tasted amazing! Terry was always so sweet and was always there just when you needed her! The day of the wedding is so chaotic, but she was there to make sure I was drinking water, answering any questions I had, and just generally being a calm presence! I can’t recommend Dean and Brown enough, they were genuinely an incredible team!

    Fabulous day!

    Dean and Brown catered a bridal shower for my daughter. They created a brunch menu based on what I was thinking and the food was delicious & upscale. The food was freshly made and continually replenished when needed. The set up of the buffet was beautifully decorated, not expected on my end. The staff was so accommodating, friendly & professional. They couldn’t do enough to make sure I was happy with the event. There was a set up meeting before the shower to see how we wanted the venue tables placed and the timeline of the day to proceed. All of the guests raved about the food!!

    Fantastic Experience!

    I cannot say enough good things about Dean & Brown and their amazing staff. They catered my intimate brunch wedding at the Liriodendron Mansion on a beautiful Sunday morning, and thanks to Terry and her staff, my day far exceeded even my own expectations. She is phenomenal and a seasoned professional. It was nothing short of magical, because they made sure of it. I planned my wedding mostly on my own, and I did not once feel overwhelmed during the planning process with D&B. They took care of us from start to finish and the food was excellent. Nothing better than brunch! How many people get to say they ate bacon and pancakes at their wedding? Thank you so much.

    Best decision we made!

    Hiring Dean and Brown catering was the best decision we made for our wedding day! The food, service, and decor werw all perfect. Our guests are STILL raving about the food. We're vegetarian and they put together a fabulous menu. They also made sure everything around them went smoothly and went above and beyond the entire night. It's worth noting that we're a queer, Jewish couple and they were great! I can't recommend them highly enough.

    October Wedding

    Dean and Brown helped make our special day perfect! The food was amazing and they have many options, which we were able to customize for our budget. Our guests were raving about the food, and I love that they were able to serve custom drinks that we requested! The team was so responsive throughout the whole process, including the day of, and I couldn’t have been happier with our decision to choose them as our caterer.

    Amazing Experience!

    The moment we met Terry Bauer we knew she would take care of all of our details - very stress-free process and Terry and the D&B crew were seemless in their set up, attention to our needs, flow of reception and pack up after reception!!! I am hoping to use Terry and D&B for my younger daughter's wedding!

    March wedding

    We had the most spectacular experience with Dean and Brown from start to finish. We had brunch wedding at the Liriodendron it was clear that Dean and Brown was well-versed at working this venue, which made all the difference. Terry is an angel, In the weeks leading up to the event, and the day of my wedding. She literally took care of everything, and did so with such a kindness and ease. All staff were highly skilled and professional, and I felt like a queen. Brunch food was outstanding. Was a wonderful day and this caterer is a 10/10!

    A lovely day!!

    The morning of the wedding started really rough for me but Terry from Dean and Brown made me feel at ease and she offered to help with things she didn’t even have to. She was literally my right hand along with my MOH I couldn’t have done it without her to be honest. Christina was super helpful with the catering invoice and options and questions. But again Terry was everythingggggg and my wedding was perfect because of her. If you want fantastic service please consider Dean and Brown (they will give you 100%). You won’t regret it and trust me they will more than help you all the way through from start to finish.

    Above and beyond, budget conscious, yum

    Terry and Christina at Dean and Brown were so helpful and adaptable when planning my wedding. They were listed as a preferred vendor option and our venue recommended the company so highly and their pricing was affordable that we chose them. They were so thorough come wedding time with the little details and had a lot of useful insights as to how things worked at our venue (the Liriodendron). They were adaptable when we needed to make last minute food and seating chart changes, super responsive. The waiters the night of were great- so thoughtful and helpful putting up our decorations. Portions were decent. I was trying to be sustainable in my plastic use, and while D+B does not primarily recycle plastic ware they were willing to work with me when I purchased compostable drinkware to replace plastic at the end of the night.

    Couldn't be happier to have booked with Dean & Brown!

    When starting to plan our wedding, one of my and my husband's top priorities was the food. Dean and Brown delivered on not just delicious food customized to our specific wants, they were the picture of professionalism and helpfulness. They made everything easy, from booking a tasting to coming up with a menu (including adding Indian dishes not normally part of their selection to our multicultural wedding) to staying in touch. I loved their communicativeness, and working closely with Terry was a gift - she had thought of and planned out things that hadn't even occurred to me! On the actual day, they made sure everything went perfectly, and even brought us iced water in the bridal suite, set aside a table of appetizers for us, and made us dinner plates from the buffet. And of course, the food itself was wonderful! Everyone was so kind and thoughtful, and I would recommend Dean & Brown to anyone who's looking for a caterer.

    Such a perfect day!!

    Dean & Brown are AMAZING!! Terry and Christina were sooo helpful in the planning process, and Donna and all of the staff there day-of made our day so special. We had a brunch wedding and all of the food was amazing, and our guests loved it, too! They also set everything up for us in terms of decor (we went pretty simple with bud vases) and everything was so dreamy. They even spruced up our cheesecake for us with some extra flowers we had so it would be cute for photos! They kept us on track all day and made sure we always had a mimosa in-hand, and that everyone was enjoying themselves. We highly recommend them to anyone needing catering services. Thank you so much D&B for making our day so amazing!

    Outstanding from start to finish

    Dean and Brown were extremely professional and courteous during both the planning portion and actual day of our wedding. Everything was perfect, from the bartenders making of our signature drinks, to the food and friendly service our guests received at our wedding. Dean and Brown made it a perfect event!

    Simply the Best!

    Dean & Brown catered our December barn wedding. From start to finish we had an amazing experience. The food was incredible and our guests were extremely impressed with not only dinner but the staff. Specifically we had one guest with severe food allergies, and because of the personal touch our wedding was the first event in 10 years that she was able to eat the food. The D&B staff knew her by name and were able to ensure she had a meal that fit her needs. The entire staff is professional, kind and ready to meet your budget. Thank you so much to the D&B team for making sure our wedding was a success.

    Winter wedding 2022

    Dean and Brown was amazing from start to finish! This company put our minds at ease from picking our dream menu, to our tasting, the final walk through and our big day. Terry was my go to gal, she was so kind and sweet! I mean out of this world customer service. Terry helped me every step of the way with things such as menu options, allergy alternatives and color for linen. She also was so helpful on our walk through with keeping me on track and giving me tips on how to make everything flow smoothly. On our big day they made us feel so appreciated, the staff was kind enough to make sure that we got a chance to eat and try all the options we had chose. They had our apps & drinks ready for us during transition from our ceremony to our grand entrance and the reception and then our dinner was in front of us as soon as we sat down! The bartending staff did an outstanding job making sure all of our guests always had a drink in their hands! We definitely recommend using then along with our venue Rockfield Manor, they are a well oiled machine together!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! We would us them over and over again!!

    Excellent Service from Dean and Brown

    Dean and Brown Catering did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding day! The communication leading up to the wedding was wonderful. Terry answered all of our questions and even called me the day before the wedding to ease my mind. Donna, the day of coordinator, was amazing! She kept the entire wedding and reception on time and took care of every single need my husband and I had, down to having ice water for us as soon as the ceremony was over. She served us food and drinks and constantly checked on us. The food was delicious! I highly recommend using Dean and Brown Catering! You won’t be disappointed!

    Above and beyond!

    Christine and Terry did a wonderful job working with me and my wife to prepare a delicious spread for our wedding. They were generous and helpful throughout both the food choosing and tasting processes; moreover, they went above and beyond by caring to help us with non-culinary choices (I.e. making sure we had a good DJ, photographer, etc.) We recommend Dean & Brown to any couple looking for great people to cater quality food for their wedding!

    Amazing food and wonderful staff!

    I really can’t recommend Dean & Brown enough, we got recommended Dean & Brown through our Venue Rockfield Manor, as well as through my husband's brother who also used Dean & Brown 12 years ago for his own wedding. They really had such wonderful staff between Christina and Terry who helped set up our day and tastings, to the day of staff, cooks and bartenders, everyone you talked to was kind and seemed excited to be there even though they were working. The food was AMAZING, everyone was talking about how great it was. Herb-encrusted top round of beef, mashed potatoes, green beans, and the amazing Italian stuffed chicken. It really was incredible and the stuffed chicken I think I’m going to try and make myself. If you’re getting married in Harford County, book Dean & Brown!
