Dean and Brown Catering

I have nothing but praise for Dean & Brown. They made sure my wedding, at Swan Harbor, on 10/15 went off without a hitch. It was incredibly windy that day, and they made sure everything was where it needed to be. Terry & Sue were fantastic. My husband and I did not want for anything the entire day. Terry made sure my dress was layed out before I walked down the aisle. They came right over after the ceremony with drinks & food in hand for us and our bridal party. The rest of the staff was fantastic! Everyone had rave reviews about their service, attentiveness, food, and professionalism. Even my cousins (who are all about Atlantic Catering) said how magnificent everything was. We couldnt have made a better choice. I would recommend them to anyone, and will use them again.

Dean and Brown catered our wedding and for the most part provided a wonderful service. The food was excellent, and the day-of staff were professional, helpful, and polite. Sometimes, communication was a bit slow and/or not all questions were answered, but followups were successful. There was one major issue: after tons of discussion regarding allergies of one guest, the chef messed up and the guest's food was contaminated. They did work to resolve this and apologize but it was extremely frustrating. The food was taken away before all guests had finished eating, but they did offer additional food to the bride and groom as requested since we were not at the table much. Again, the food was absolutely amazing and all-in-all we would recommend this vendor.

Dean and Brown Catering was extremely friendly. Their service was outstanding. Terry and Sue were always reponsive to our needs. Our day of service was terrific. The guests were well attended to and the food was excellent. Our server was there for us every step of the way. And the presentation was beautiful and flawless!

So super helpful!! The planning process was so easy emailing back and forth. They were very flexible with meeting times/places. I did not have one worry on my wedding day, dean and brown was on top of literally every detail. It just perfect thanks to dean and brown!

We had such a great experience with Dean and Brown. Terry and Sue were so wonderful. From beginning to end, everything was perfect. The food, obviously was OUTSTANDING, as we had several comments about it. Terry took control and handled everything for me so I wasn't so crazy on my big day! Everything was fantastic.

We just got married a couple of weeks ago at the Liriodendron, Dean and Brown were our caterers. Everything was fantastic, we showed up for the tasting and didn't have to worry about a single thing after that. Immediately after the ceremony ended we had drinks in our hands, and appetizers were ready for our guest while we were at pictures. They had someone making sure everything was okay throughout the night and that the bridal party and parents were happy. I would definitely use them again, and recommend them to all of our friends!

Growing up in Maryland we're always ones to judge our crabcakes, and ourselves and our guests couldn't have been more impressed with Dean and Brown's! Between the fabulous food and amazing staff, I was SO happy to have this team present on my wedding day. Thank you for everything you did to make my day perfect!!!Regan

Dean and Brown was great to work with! The food was excellent, and we had a lot of our guests comment on how good it was. Their staff is very professional, and was very friendly and easy to work with through the whole planning process. I would highly recommend Dean and Brown to cater your wedding!

I could go on and on about the excellence of Dean and Brown Catering. The food was excellent. From the tasting to the reception, they were very professional and extremely easy to work with. Guests are still raving about the food and service. I would highly recommend them for your wedding.

Terry did an absolutely wonderful job on the day of my wedding at Swan Harbor Farms. Everything ran smoothly because of her and the staff present with her. It rained for a short time in the very late evening and she was running around in the rain. She is absolutely dedicated to her job and loves what she does. The food was very good and the service the day of the wedding was great. Everything was done as I had discussed with Terry. I booked Dean and Brown Catering over 2 years in advance because they had catered so many events at Swan Harbor Farm. I did have a couple small details that were stated would be done over 2 years ago but ONE WEEK before the wedding they were questioned. Everything turned out well but even small details should be written in the contract.Dean and Brown did a wonderful job overall and I would recommend them.

Highly recommended!! Sue and Terry were excellent to work with. The staff could not have been more helpful with making sure that everything ran smoothly at our reception. The food was good especially for the price. I also liked that they let you use your own discretion on how much gratuity you would like to give them whereas most vendors automatically charge you 20%.

Sue and Terry at Dean and Brown were wonderful to work with. The food was so delicious we had a hard time deciding. We chose a buffet style dinner and our guests commented that not only was the food great but was WARM! We did not have a wedding planner so when it came to putting the tables together they handled it all. We provided the materials (favors, table numbers, etc.) and just told them what went where. Anytime we needed something Terry was there. Our day was perfect thanks to Dean and Brown!

We can not say enough good things about Dean and Brown! They were the most amazing and wonderful people to work with, Sue in the planning and tasting stages and Terry and Steve in the final planning and then the event! Sue, Terry, Steve and the rest of the rest of the staff were so great! We did not have to worry about one thing that day. Terry and Steve had everything taken care of for us and we could not have asked for a better experience. We have also had so many guests comment on how wonderful everyone from Dean and Brown was and what a spectacular job they did. We truly recommend Dean and Brown Catering for any event and will not hesitate to use them for our own events in the future. They are truly the best!

I'm so glad that I chose Dean and Brown Catering for my wedding! They were easy to work with and the food was delicious! You can tell that Terry and Sue really love their jobs and were happy to help me with anything that I needed! They take care of everything for you at the reception including setting everything up. All I had to do was drop everything off the night before and it was taken care of! I would recommend this company to anyone, you won't regret it!

Dean and Brown is an exceptional caterer! They take care of everything at the wedding and you can relax and enjoy yourself. I was most impressed by the friendly service of everyone at the company, from Sue at the tasting to Terry at the event. They are true professionals and make you feel like part of a special family. When you hire Dean and Brown, you can assure yourself of a flawlessly run event where can look back and cherish your memories! Thanks Sue, Terry, Steve and everyone at Dean and Brown!

Our daughter just got married on 5 February 2011 and let me tell you, Dean and Brown Catering just provided us the type of service that you only dream about. From the food preparation and presentation, to the top-notch service provided to our guests, to just the friendliness of the attentive staff, Dean and Brown provided everything we wanted and needed for this special day! From the very beginning Dean and Brown seemed the perfect fit. The relaxed atmosphere present at the initial meeting was continued throughout all of our interactions with Dean and Brown. The food tasting experience was out-of-this-world. Let me tell you, the food presented at the wedding was prepared exactly the way the food was presented at the food tasting appointment, which was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. There are not enough words to describe the service provided by Terry, our Dean and Brown coordinator. Nothing short of fantastic was the service provided by her. She allowed us to really be able to enjoy the event because we could relax knowing that Terry was taking care of things! What a fantasic woman! The staff was very professional. The staff at our wedding always seemed to be in total control - no "chaotic" feeling at all! The staff seemed to anticipate guest's needs and just "be there" without asking -now that's professional service! When you have over 60 people in attendance and NO ONE had a complaint about the food and/or service, that's telling you that the people providing the service, Dean and Brown Catering, were "top-notch" and appreciated by ALL of the attendees. That is the ultimate compliment for the first-class service that was provided by Dean and Brown Catering. Dean and Brown Catering should be the only caterer you should consider when hosting an event, whether it is a wedding or some other occasion. We are so happy that we chose them for our daughter's wedding! Dean and Brown made a special day even more special by providing first-class, top-notch service. Looking back at the wedding only makes us realize how integral Dean and Brown Catering were in making our daughter's wedding one of the greatest days of our lives. We feel so fortunate that we chose Dean and Brown!!!!

Dean and Brown were amazing. I picked them based on their 5.0 rating, the great reviews and that they were local to me..I believe in doing business with people in my own area. They also promised that if it snowed on our wedding day, Jan 14th, 2011, that they were only down the road and they would be there. That was good enough for me. Ray and I were married at the Liriodendron and Sue and Terry are experts to the Lirio which is so helpful to a Bride, especially when she is her own coordinator. Sue assisted Ray and I with our menu...it was perfect. Terry took care of us at the wedding and we had amazing hors d'œuvres...shrimp wrapped in bacon...scallops wrapped in bacon...meatballs, crabballs...it was all excellent. Ray and I especially appreciated the tray that Terry brought to us as we took a breath after the wedding..having not eaten for hours prior to the wedding. It was a beautiful tray of all of our selections and we were able to enjoy it together.The main course was perfect and as we had requested...everyone raved about the food. We provided our own wine and beer and had Dean and Brown provide the bartender...he was very nice. From the minute we met with Sue and Terry I was at ease that everything would be perfect...and let me tell you...it was!!! Thank you!This was a 2nd wedding, 45 guests, and we are 49 and 51.I would pick Dean and Brown everytime for any party I was preparing for.

LOVE Dean and Brown. They were perfect... the whole day was perfect and they were very instrumental in making that happen. Terry was fantastic. Their prices are also very reasonable.

Everything that went wrong on our wedding day had to do with Dean & Brown Catering. The main reason for this was that the entire time we made plans with Sue and Terri who promised one of them would be there on the day. However, the night before our wedding we got an email saying neither one of them was showing up. We got stuck with someone who tried her best but without the prior knowledge of the plans that were discussed it turned out to be a complete headache. We had to give them instructions at every stage of the event. I was late getting into my dress and missed taking pictures because I had to go over the table seating charts with the staff, which still got the counts wrong even though I gave them an updated list. They sat our family and friends at a table by the busy kitchen door when there were plenty of tables available. For our cocktail reception we had to remind the bartender to refill the sangria fountain. He argued with us about being out of sangria instead of looking under the table where he had stored the remaining liters. The groom’s bread & dip table which was suppose to be the highlight of the cocktail reception did not include all of the items we agreed upon during our tasting. It was very embarrassing since we had told all of our guests about it. A big disappointment was that some of our elderly family members had to leave early because the Dean & Brown staff were not sensitive enough to allow seniors a chair to sit on during the cocktail reception. Those who tried to sit in the dining area were told to get up and move into the other rooms. You do not have to be experienced in catering to know that a person with a cane may need to sit down. It was very frustrating to have to give instructions to the staff the entire night for everything. We had to remind them of supplies, such as cupcake take home boxes left by the baker, that they were provided but somehow misplaced during the evening. To top it all off, we did not even get a phone call from the Terri or Sue to see how things turned out. We received very unprofessional treatment and the whole experience was a major disappointment.

Dean and Brown was extremely professional and had the best food! It has been two weeks since my wedding and people are still raving on how great everything was. Everyone was extremely nice and great to work with. They really care about making this day special for you and worry free! I would highly recommend Dean and Brown for any occasion!

Let me just say that there is a REASON Dean and Brown have practically perfect reviews! This company and staff provide absolutely the most amazing catering experience one could ask for. The food is astounding, the service is exemplary, the people are so kind and professional. Working with Sue, Terry and the entire staff was incredibly easy. They knew my venue inside and out (The Liriodendron in Bel Air) and had so many helpful suggestions. They really listened to us and made our special day completely hassle-free. The cost of this service is very low compared to the value of knowing the people you are trusting with your wedding will be taking excellent care of it. I can't express just how appreciative I am to them for the wonderful job they did with my wedding.

I have never before done a rating, but could not miss rating Dean and Brown. Their catering service was exceptional!!!! From the beginning of the process to the end, they were very professional. I was working with a limited budget and they were able to help me develop a menu that was elegant and delicious! My guest kept telling me all night that the food was delicious. I also had favors that required a bit of work and they put them together beautifully. I also had a special request of allowing one of my family members access to the kitchen. My family raved that they were so helpful and had everything together! If you are working on a limited budget and want great quality you should definitely check out Dean and Brown. Terry was in charge of everything and I did not worry once all night!!!!! These people are the best and I had an incredible wedding experience because of them. Thanks again Dean and Brown!!!!

LOVE Dean and Brown! Everything about them matched what we were looking for in a wedding caterer...quality of service and value for cost were particularly important and they exceeded our expectations. We had a small budget and they helped us customize our menu to meet our needs. They were always extremely professional while being friendly which made us feel comfortable with them. Terry Brauer, our Event Manager, was so sweet and went out of her way to cater to our needs before, during, and after the wedding. They were also VERY familiar with our venue, Swan Harbor Farm in Havre de Grace, as they cater there very frequently. That put us at ease and allowed us to relax and let them take care of everything.I highly recommend Dean and Brown for weddings or any catering needs. We will definitely use them for our next event!

Dean and Brown were amazing to work with!! From the beginning they were helpful and answered phone calls and emails promptly. I asked a ton of questions and always got a warm, friendly, and quick response from everyone. They were very organzied and always knew how to answer every question. I wanted to keep a budget friendly wedding and they helped me pick a menu that I was very happy with while staying in budget.The night of my wedding- the event manager went above and beyond to make everything perfect! I could not believe everything she was doing to make sure I was well taken care of- definitely above and beyond what I had expected. The staff were professional and friendly. I thought everything went just as planned and smoothly.I had tons of guests compliment me on the food- they thought it was terrific!! I would 100% recommend them to anyone and would use them again!! :)

I had a wonderful experience with Dean & Brown. Terry and Steve did an awesome job communicating for my "BIG DAY"! I am still getting complements on the food from my wedding that was a month ago!

The most helpful staff; Great food but they do much more than that; Organized the entire wedding!

We had great vendors for everything, but Dean and Brown definately went above and beyond what we had expected. The service that they provided, the food, and their preparation was impecable. I am so glad that we came across them. Terri was the main wedding coordinator that we worked with. She was so helpful, thoughtful and willing to help. Both of our families were able to meet with her to do an initial food tasting. The food is terrific and Terri, Sue and Steve were more than willing to create a menu that would be crowd pleasing and budget friendly. We met again with Terri about a month before the wedding at our venue to go over the wedding day details. This was great because I was able to see exactly what they would do throughout the night to make sure that the wedding was perfect.I brought several boxes of wedding decorations, candles, place settings and a candy buffet. They were more than willing to set up everything, and made it perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better caterer.Our guests loved the food and even commented on the great service that they provided. My parents couldn't have been happier with the professionalism and overall attitude of Dean and Brown. The servers made sure that the guests were happy, and were constantly checking on us to make sure that we had drinks and hot food. The wedding wouldn't have been as beautiful and as smooth as it was without them. Dean and Brown has a great team that I will continue to recommend to any bride. They really are the best. I felt comfortable and confident that they would do a great job, and they far exceeded all of my expectations!

This was our third event we have booked with Dean and Brown. Simply stated they are AMAZING!!! We have worked with Terry for all of our events and she actually feels more like a friend then a vendor. We recommend them to everybody and feel like 5 stars is not enough!!!

Okay, so this review is super late but I've been pretty busy..Dean and Brown were AMAZING! From the beginning Sue and Terry were so friendly and treated me as if I were their only client. They always responded promptly to my numerous emails -- I ask a lot of questions -- and they were just amazing. I can't say it enough. They worked around my schedule for the tasting and for the final run through. The food was delicious!! Best food I've ever tasted in my life, and crazy affordable too. Honestly, the food was so amazing that my guests were too focused on eating it to ring little bells for us to kiss. Which was great, because I was pretty focused on eating too!Day of, they were great. Eileen, who works there, was like a day of coordinator. She handled everything. She brought me and the girls drinks and snacks before the wedding, and did the same for the guys. Her and the other employees there made sure everything ran smoothly with the ceremony, showing us where to line up. Once I stepped through the doors for the ceremony, Eileen even ran behind me to fix my train before I walked down the aisle. She also made sure the bridal party got appetizers while we were taking pictures and even retrieved the members who kept disappearing for drinks. She also took the fans I made as favors and fanned me, a lot. It was so amazing. My 2 year old little sister was the flower girl, and one of the women working for Dean and Brown (I can't remember her name) was so awesome with her! She kept her company and made sure she stayed out of trouble, it was amazing. I know I keep using the word amazing but that's because it was all amazing. Dean and Brown made it so I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day, they set out the favors and the placecards. They made a special day even more memorable and I can't thank them enough for it. Terri and Sue treated me like family, sending Christmas cards last year and hugging me at every occasion. And Eileen, as I said, was amazing! She helped us with so much, even the cutting the cake ceremony.They went above and beyond what I expected for a caterer and I highly recommend them!! I plan on using them in the future if I ever need catering services again.

Dean and Brown did a wonderful job with our wedding. The food was delicious, service was phenomenal. The catering was very reasonably priced and Sue was great at getting back to me with all my questions.

Dean and Brown Catering is AMAZING. Simply AMAZING. I feel bad saying they were our caterer, they were so much more. I talked to Terri and Steve more about the wedding then some of my friends-thats='s how involved through the whole process they were! Not to mention, they made it FUN! The food, bottom line, is delicious. We went to tons of other caterr tastings, and wrote the check that very night with them. Everyone was coming to me telling me how amazing the food was at the wedding!! Not to mention, they had tons of choices to chose from! I am a vegetarian and they were more than happy to work with me! Also, I am a event planner so you can imagine my wedding was pretty nontraditional and the decor was truckloads more than normal. Email after email, meeting after meeting, Terri and Steve made sure every detail was the way i wanted! Steve, himself, met with us the week of the wedding (which by the way was Memorial Day!), came to our house to see everything so he could be familiar with everything from the dessert buffet to the welcome tables, how i wanted the place settings. Terri and Steve were amazing and you don't get any nicer and cheery of a person than Terri. If you look up Sweetheart in the dictionary, you will see her picture. Steve, also, is one of the nicest guys you'll meet, wants everything to go the way you want it to, and doesn't stop still it does.We had an outdoor wedding, during the cocktail hour, the wind picked up and it started to pour. I watched from the window, and they didn't even blink! Boom Boom Boom, things were moved inside, chairs were put in the tent, bar set up inside. Like they were robots! They had servers waiting on the bridal party before and after the ceremony, during pictures and the entire night. We felt like a queen and king! I look back at June 4th and think such wonderful things, and if they weren't our caterer, i can PROMISE you, the memories wouldn't be nearly as perfect! Thank you so much, Danielle & Mike <3

I had a great experience with Dean and Brown, I would suggest them to anyone for their wedding catering. The food was amazing and the service was great. They helped me feel at ease about the reception and ran the show so that I didn't have to. I am forever grateful for the amazing job that they did.

I would recommend Dean & Brown to ANYONE. They were absolutely amazing in both helping me prepare for the wedding (we had a meeting that took roughly 2 hours to go over every detail you could think of prior to the wedding), and in the day-of details. I didn't have to worry about a single thing because they are not just a catering company, but they pretty much coordinate everything for you. It was wonderful working with them at Swan Harbor Farm (Havre de Grace, MD), because they had been there so many times previously that they knew what needed to be done and how to do it.And I haven't even gotten to talk about the food! The food was the best wedding food I've ever had. I knew from our tasting that it would be delicious, but we had changed several things from what we had actually tasted and just trusted them that it would be what we liked. I was a little nervous about that, but I had no reason to be! It was amazing. Walking around the tables to talk to our guests, I noticed there were no empty plates. In fact, most people had gotten up to go get seconds! We had Chicken Chesapeake - with actual lumps of crabmeat on top! We also had roast beef, which was so delicious, along with roasted red potatoes and seasonal steamed veggies.

It has been 10 months since our wedding and people are still talking about the food!! What more can I say? Throughout the plannig process they were so professional. I my wedding took place at Swan Harbor. When I first met with Steve he pulled out the floor plans and basically drew me a diagram of every detail. It made life sooooo much easier. All of the staff are extremely nice. At the wedding they made everything flow well. They were great and I would recommend them for any Maryland wedding.

Dean and Brown was so much more than a caterer! They provided Eileen who assisted me with everything I needed on my wedding day. I don't know what I would have done without her! In addition, they went out of their way to make (and master) Peruvian food! From what I hear (I was too busy to eat) the raw bar was unforgettable and the dinner stations were divine! They were a pleasure to work with! Thank you Steve, Sue, Terry AND EILEEN!!!!

I can not recommend Dean and Brown enough. They were one of the best vendors we worked with. They are one of our venue’s (Swan Harbor Farm) most recommended caterers. I strongly recommend Dean and Brown to anyone who is getting married in the Harford/Baltimore County area, no matter how formal or causal. You will have no regrets and no worries. We met Terri and Steve at the Timonium Bridal Show. They were very open to our ideas from the beginning and had no problem accommodating our desire for a picnic style dinner (i.e.: hamburgers, hotdogs, BBQ chicken, corn on the cob, potato salad, macaroni salad, etc.). They had no problem keeping things classy and formal while having such a casual dinner (i.e. serving the head table). When meeting with Terri, she was always very organized and professional. She always made sure she had all the details and everything correct to the way we wanted things. Everything went very smoothly and I knew everything would look fantastic. One of the main reasons we ended up going with Dean and Brown was that we were able to have an individual tasting and taste what we were going to have at our wedding; not a group tasting that is general wedding food. I realize we had a simple menu but the food at the tasting tasted exactly like what we had at the wedding. They were very accommodating to change any of the foods to the way we wanted them to taste. They actually customized the potato and macaroni salad to our taste. Another great thing about Dean and Brown is they provide bartenders, so you can provide any alcohol. This enables you to get what you want from a liquor store and control the cost and type of alcohol you have, therefore not paying per person. The day of the wedding Steve was amazing. Once he got to our venue, he walked around with me and went over every detail. Since he has catered there numerous times, he knows the place like the back of his hand. Especially since it was rainy and very windy, he handled it with true class and professionalism. We provided Dean and Brown with many of the decorations for the reception, cocktail hour, and all the centerpieces. Steve did a wonderful job of presenting our appetizers with all the décor. All the guests raved about the food well after the wedding. Like I mentioned earlier, the food we tasted at our tasting was exactly what we got the day of the wedding. The staff the day of the wedding was wonderful. They were very attentive to the bridal party and making sure everyone had everything they needed. They were willing to go above and beyond their normal duties to make everything a wonderful day.

Working with Dean & Brown was the best decision of my wedding planning. They accommodated us at every turn, from meeting with us for our tasting during a freak snow storm, to arranging a visit to our venue when it was closed for a holiday weekend. We worked with Terry, who is a gem. You can tell she loves her job and she has a great personality. She was always there to answer any question and on the wedding day she was there to help us and was just a joy to have around. The food was excellent as was the service. You just won't find the quality anywhere else for the price that they charge. They also give you the option of buying your own liquor and bringing in your own cake, which saves A LOT of money.If you're getting married in Harford county or anywhere in the Baltimore area I highly recommend Dean & Brown!

Dean and Brown Catering was a great choice for my wedding! Terri was so helpful and put togther an amazing menu. They were very affordable compared to some other catering companies. Not only did they prepare and serve wonderful food, but they also waited hand and foot on my husband and I, making sure we always had a drink in hand! Very professional, stayed in the background, and I received many compliments on how great the food was!

Dean and Brown was on a list of vendors that the venue provided us with that frequently work there. After hearing good things about them from the coordinator of the venue (and also from other vendors) we set up an appointment. We met with Terry who also ended up being our Day-of coordinator. All of the food that we tasted at the meeting was very good, but I think we were mostly impressed by their eagerness and their "do whatever it takes" attitude. Also, they work with a budget very well, I feel like we got a lot of food for the money that we paid per person. In addition to catering your event they also do all of the coordination of the day including set up of ceremony and reception (including all the details like programs, guest book, favors, etc.), coordinating the bridal party for the ceremony timing, and bringing the bridal party drinks and appetizers. Terry did an awesome job on the day-of my bridesmaids couldn't say enough about how well she treated us. Another thing that sold me on Dean and Brown was that they provide bartenders (and all the bar setups) but does not have a liquor license so they do not provide the alcohol. I saw this as a positive because I could customize my bar however I wanted and control the cost of the alcohol based on what I knew my guests would consume rather than paying per head for open bar.

Terri was remarkable from beginning to end! We were happy with our choice to use Dean and Brown but when we saw what they did the day of the wedding we were elated! Everything was perfect and beautiful! The staff was extremely professional! Terri and Eileen were both fabulous! I highly recommend Dean and Brown!

Dean and Brown are GREAT!! Terry is such a big help in planning and especially the day of. She assisted me with planning all the fine details then she spent the entire wedding night checking in on us.. if we needed drinks, food, anything, she made it happen. Also, the food was terrific!! All of my guests are still telling me how much they enjoyed it. They are priced good and will exceed your expectations.

Amazing caterer, great food, awesome to work with. Always available to answer questions or listen/help work out problems. Very open to new ideas. Would definitely work with them again.

You will have no regrets if you go with Dean & Brown Catering. We are so glad that we did, they did everything right! Terry was our event manager and she helped advise us and coordinate our evening. Terry always brought a pleasant, optimistic attitude and professional demeanor. It really helped lower our stress level, knowing that she was helping take care of us. I appreciated being able to be in touch with Terry throughout the planning process, and getting her feedback and suggestions along the way. On the day of our wedding, we were so glad she was there with us to help the evening run smoothly and flawlessly. The rest of the staff was excellent as well: completely unobtrusive, but always there if you needed them for something. Everything turned out just as we had hoped! As for the food itself - outstanding! (The Strawberry Affair Salad is amazing.) We chose to have our meal served buffet style, to allow our guests to taste more than one of their great options. We enjoyed every morsel of our meal, and our guests did as well! We really appreciated the leftovers they packed up for us, so we could enjoy them the next day as well. We would love to use Dean and Brown for any catered event we may have in the future, and whole-heartedly recommend them to you!

Amazing. The food was good, the wait staff and bartenders were prompt and friendly, Steve the owner was attentive and truly looked to make sure our day went well. The real hero was Eileen, the event manager. She was like a ninja always there with drinks and food for us or trouble shooting. Our DOC didn't show up and Eileen took charge. She set up centerpieces, set up escort cards, brought champagne to the bridal suite, got everyone in line and out the door for the ceremony. She saved the day. The whole staff in general was wonderful. They took the ceremony flowers and integrated them into the reception tent, had table service for us and for some elderly guests who couldn't navigate the buffet well, basically had everyone taken care of and everything seemed absolutely like clockwork. The food was delicious and the set up was beautiful. They are true pros and if I could give more stars for "Value for Cost", I would. I've done a lot of research and D&B is the most bang-for-your-buck caterer in the Baltimore area.

Terry was wonderful. She always promptly responded to any question or concern I had throughout the planning process. The night of the wedding, the service was amazing - everything seemed to magically appear and disappear! Everyone was very professional and friendly. Our venue had a choice of several caterers, and Dean & Brown offered the same quality food for a much more reasonable price. They helped us create a menu of appetizers and desserts that filled everyone up as much as a whole meal. We wouldn't do anything differently!

Dean and Brown did a fantastic job for our wedding at Swan Harbor Farm. They knew all the ins and outs of working at that location and were very flexible as well as excited about our ideas for our wedding reception. I loved that they took our ideas and made them more than we could imagine. All of our guests commented on how exceptional the food was.

Our wedding location has pre-approved vendors, so we investigated each of them. We met with two of the approved vendors, one of which was Dean and Brown. Dean and Brown provides catering and also works to organize the vendors and activity on the day of the wedding, so you do not need a day of wedding planner. Terry, one of the owners, was immediately accommodating, agreeing to meet with us on the one day we were in town (which was during their busy winter season). As soon as we met her, I adored her! I knew that she would be the one keeping all of us calm and organized on the wedding day, and I instantly felt like I could trust her and that she would treat our family and friends with respect. She was warm and professional during the entire planning stage, and was absolutely wonderful during the wedding. I was grateful to have her there.As for the food, the company created a presentation for us, so that we could sample items from the menu, and begin to choose plates, napkins and tablecloths. They also had a floor plan of the site, and drew out how the day would look, so we could see the flow of activity. I loved this, and referred to this often. My husband wanted specific menu items, and Terry worked with the chef to create new recipes (apparently, we also got to tap into some of the chef's specialties!). They agreed to have a second tasting so that we could approve the changes, which was greatly appreciated. We went back and forth a number of times, and Terry was awesome in organizing and facilitating our choices. Our budget was so small, but they always treated us with respect. We also chose to bring in our own alcohol to save money on the bar costs. On the day before, Terry and I met and did a walk through of the site, which was very helpful. On the day, Dean and Brown was outstanding. Before I arrived, they had already set up the tables, and the ceremony space, and immediately took over and set up the table decorations and all the other things I had created/brought to set up. It was so beautiful, and such a relief. Their service was excellent, the servers were dressed professionally, and all of our guests got extra attention. Terry worked with each of the vendors, setting up the cupcakes, handing out the flowers, facilitating the ceremony. After the ceremony, Terry made a platter of hors d'oeuvres for my husband and I, and brought us drinks, so that we could take a few minutes together. We chose to have a served meal, and our guests enjoyed the dinner. I admit, we didn't eat much because we were excited and spent time visiting with our guests. But Terry anticipated this, and packed my husband and I food to take with us, which we devoured later that night. The whole event was like this - Terry warmly anticipated our needs, and her team took care of everything for us so we could actually relax and enjoy the day.

Such an awesome caterer!

Dean and Brown Catering made my wedding a complete success. I could not have pulled my perfect wedding off without the staff of Dean and Brown's catering. Mrs. Terry a partner at Dean and Brown was a joy to work with she made sure that everything was the way that I wanted it to be. She was beyond friendly and professional she was a perfect addtion to my wedding. The team and D&B go above and beyond to ensure that things are TOP SHAPE and perfect for their events. They provide so much more to me then just the food at my wedding, they provided guidance, help organizing it was as if they were my wedding planners as well. I loved working with them and I would recommend them anytime for anyone. T

I had my wedding reception and ceremony at Swan Harbor Farm in Havre De Grace, and I have to say these people know exactly what they are doing at that location. I was so worried about them setting up everything exactly the way I pictured, but they came through meeting all of my expectations. They went above and beyone to make sure everything was in the correct location, including my place cards, guest books, votive candles, and many more things that need to be set up at Swan Harbor including the tables and the chairs (which they moved seamlessly from ceremony sight to reception venue without a glitch). Steve was wonderful at answering all of our many, many, many, questions and never once hesitated to get us an answer in a timely manner. The food was prepared at tastings until we were absolutely satisfied with our menu. He also helped us decide on where everything at the location should be set up using a diagram of the area. And in addition he helped us to come up with two signature cocktails to give the event a special twist. On the big day the staff performed their jobs effortlessly, the food tasted exactly like it did at the tasting (we got lots of compliments from guests on how great it was), and all of the staff was extremely professional. For the price Dean and Brown can definitely not be beat and their knowledge on that particular location made our whole day run smoothly with no problems from start to finish. Dean and Brown truly proves that they are there to make your day as special as possibly by going above and beyond.

The most outstanding catering service in the area! The food is delicious time after time, the waitstaff are friendly and courteous, and the front office team works hard to ensure you have a wonderful experience from start to finish.

I cannot say enough about Dean and Brown! The food is GREAT!!! The staff is amazing and the prices are so reasonable!!! We reccomend them to everyone!!!!!!!
