What Our Couples Say About Us

We had Brown Brothers cater our son’s baptism reception, and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. I was genuinely impressed by both the quality and quantity of the food—there was more than enough for everyone, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. We chose a menu that included Chef-Carved Prime Rib Roast with Horseradish Cream and Au Jus, Chicken Marsala, Sautéed Green Beans with Lemon and Shallots, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and a Spring Mix Salad with Dried Cranberries, Candied Pecans, Feta Cheese, and Raspberry Vinaigrette. This was all served with fresh rolls, butter, and an assortment of desserts. Every item was flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff that came to our event were professional, friendly, and efficient. They handled everything—from carving the prime rib to setting up and breaking down—with care and attention to detail. It made the day stress-free for us and allowed us to truly enjoy the celebration. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Brown Brothers again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch catering. 10/10 experience!

Excellent service! They were very knowledgeable and offered great suggestions for menus and quantities. Communication was great and they showed up when they said they would. The food was delicious! I always worry about having enough food and not too much. Their quantities were perfect. I would definitely use Brown Brothers again!

The food we ordered for our wedding was fantastic. The asiago mashed potatoes were a hit for our dinner. During our reception we opted for a dessert bar and everything was delicious. All of our guests praised how good the food was. I was specifically a fan of the lemon and coconut sorbet. The staff was also incredibly kind and helped make our wedding perfect!

Why Skipping Hors d’Oeuvres Can Cost You More Than You Think

Without hors d’oeuvres, receptions often feel incomplete. Guests arrive hungry, lines for the buffet drag on, and couples spend more on oversized entrées to make up for the lack of variety. Hors d’oeuvres create flow, keep energy high, and allow you to control costs without sacrificing quality. When thoughtfully designed, a hors d’oeuvres menu can even replace a full dinner, giving your guests an engaging, social experience they’ll love. (Looking for budget tips?
