    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.

    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!!

    I absolutely loved working with the girls from Dean and Brown. The entire process from the tasting, menu changes, walk-throughs and the day of the wedding was a pleasure. They are easy, responsiveness and a great value. Our guests loved their meals and we were able to get everything we wanted within our budget which almost never happens.

    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!

    Five stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We hired Dean & Brown for our wedding on October 14th 2023. Working with them was a pleasure. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and I was happy. The entire experience was stress free which was amazing since planning a wedding can be very stressful. The food was absolutely AMAZING, we have gotten so many compliments! The service staff were on point! The table set up was beautiful and exactly how I envisioned. They really did exceeded my expectations. We were so pleased with everything!

    Excellent Catering Team

    Dean and Brown was a pleasure to work with from the planning process to the day of. They went above and beyond the day of our wedding. During our extended family photos after the ceremony they brought us our own hors d'oeuvres and pitchers of our signature drinks to enjoy while we got photos. We had a buffet for dinner, Dean and Brown plated food for us and brought it to our sweetheart table. They really took care of us. Our guests also loved the food.

    Fantastic Caterer

    Dean and Brown catered our brunch wedding on 9/10/2022 at the Liriodendron in Bel Air, MD. Everything was fantastic - food, drinks, service, and especially set up. I didn't have to worry about a thing. Guests raved about the food. It was exactly what we wanted and we would choose them again.
