    MD Country offers top tier catering and bar services

    Dave and his staff were the true stars of this service. They accommodated non traditional wedding food (Thai and Tex-Mex) and everyone (including some of the pickier eaters in the family) commented on how good the food was. Although food is the most important aspect in assessing a catering service, the human element of Maryland Country Caterers was also world class. At no point before or during the wedding did we feel we were being nickeled and dimed and the staff felt like true partners in creating the menu we wanted for our wedding. Dave always took our wishes into account and advised us on any changes he would make based on his many years of experience. We wanted to cater a few dishes from our favorite Thai restaurant and he was able to accommodate the other vendor seamlessly. Dave said they pride themselves on never having lines at the bar and they delivered on that promise for our almost 200 person wedding. MD Country helped us truly bring our vision to life.

    Thank you for the kind words. We were thrilled to be a part of your day and are so very happy we helped create the perfect day!

    100% RECOMMEND!!! 10/10!!!

    Dave, Jen, and team,
    Phillip & I will never have enough words to express our appreciation for each and every one of you. First and foremost, Dave & Jen are simply just WONDERFUL people…aside from their business…they are great people to be around. They are caring, fun, kind, and so much more. Long story short, my husband & I attended a wedding in which Maryland Country Caterers catered…needless to say, we were overly impressed. Fast forward a few years, we began planning for our own wedding – at first, I did not reach out to Maryland Country Caterers because I felt like our venue was “too far” for them to travel. With that in mind, we tried a few other catering companies, and my mind continuously wandered back to Dave, Jen, and team. Finally, after weeks of stressing, I reached out to Jen, gave her our date & location, and she responded back immediately with a “YES!” We were thrilled. After, we scheduled a phone call with Dave & chatted about the basics. In February of 2021, Phillip, my parents, and I traveled to their location in Owings, Maryland. There, Dave and his chef prepared a tasting for us, and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! After our tasting, Dave sat down with us, and we discussed business, which quite honestly, didn’t feel like business at all. Dave was open, honest, and his passion for his company was clear as day. My parents felt extremely comfortable with all that was discussed & ultimately, we left our tasting knowing that Maryland Country Caterers were the perfect fit for our wedding day. In August, Dave and Jen traveled almost 2 hours to view our venue. Jen helped me with all the logistical things – dishes, flatware, glasses, linens, table layouts, etc. I trusted all of her suggestions, and went with it! She was awesome. On our wedding day in October, every one was there prompty & dressed very professionally, every thing looked great, & the food was INCREDIBLE. From cocktail hour to dinner & dessert, everything was flawless. Our guests were able to enjoy stations & had plates filled with anything and everything they wanted! The bar flowed seamlessly & the service was great. Without Maryland Country Caterers our wedding wouldn’t have been the same. They took care of us & everything was PERFECT. We will always suggest them to anyone who asks & will use them for any future events! WE LOVE THEM! Thank you Dave, Jen, and team! Enjoy your holidays! -Melissa, Phillip August, & The Dierdorff family!

    Amazing food and great people to work with!

    We used Maryland Country Caterers for our wedding and they were such a pleasure to work with! They also basically served as our day-of coordinator so that was extremely helpful too.

    Dave and Jen we’re always very responsive to all of my questions, went back and forth with us on our menu to stay in budget, and made sure we had all of the food we wanted. They even let us do multiple tastings. They are both extremely knowledgeable so had lots of good suggestions for things that I didn’t even think about. They said we would be treated like royalty on our wedding day and make sure we were fed and they kept this promise! While I was getting bustled, Kayla brought me and some of the wedding party our own plate of appetizers to eat and then later in the night we got to our sweetheart table for dinner and there were plates of food waiting for us! The food was delicious and we got so many compliments from our guests on how amazing everything tasted. Someone even said it was some of the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! We highly recommend this company if you want to not be stressed about your catering needs. A big thank you to Dave, Jen, and Kayla!

    A wonderful team!

    Maryland Country Caterers is a wonderful catering business who catered our wedding on 11/6/21. Working with Jen and Dave was awesome as they both were quick in responding to any email, text, or phone call, and were a breeze to work with. We got so many compliments on our food, especially the pear and cheese pasta purses! We appreciated the attention to detail and thoughtfulness that went into preparing for our day and making sure that everything went well the day of. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer in the Southern Maryland Area. Thank you guys so much!

    Great Food and Service!!

    Loved working with Dave and Jen! They were super helpful (especially planning a wedding during a pandemic). The day turned out perfect and I couldn't have done it without them. Everyone loved the food as well :)

    Highly recommend!

    My husband and I got married on November 2, 2019. David and Jen were amazing. They helped so much during our whole wedding planning process and were also very responsive to all of the questions we had! On the day of the wedding, it was so nice not to have to worry about anything, because I knew David was in control of it all! If there was ever a problem with anything, he took care of it and I didn't even know about it. They really do it all and think of every little detail to make sure your day is everything you've dreamed of. The food was delicious and we received so many compliments on it! I highly recommend Maryland Country Caterers for any events you may be planning. Thanks again David and Jen!! You make a great team.

    Most Amazing Caterer

    We chose this company because I searched long and hard for someone that would accommodate my vision of family style dinner. I wanted to create an atmosphere where people at the tables had to engage in conversation to get what they wanted on their plates. We have people that went from strangers to friends and everyone still talks about the food. Let’s not forget Dave! He makes you feel like you’re the only bride that matters. I’m over the moon with our decision.

    Daughter's Deam Wedding

    Dave and Jen are absolutely the best. My husband and I don't know where to begin thanking them for making our daughter and son in law's wedding day so perfect and memorable. From our first meeting we were so confident that Elegance would be our choice for catering. The flexibility around scheduling the tasting and subsequent meetings was so much appreciated with our busy schedules. Their response to every call, email and text was so punctual and helpful. Their assistance with party planning, event and vendor coordination, food selection and most importantly keeping this Type A, perfectionist, mother of the bride pretty much stress free right up to the wedding was very much appreciated! The food is so good.... really fresh and full of flavor. They are extremely flexible with the menu and will accommodate almost any personal preference. We received so many compliments on the food, the presentation as well as the professionalism of their staff. Oh and let's not forget the flaming donuts...a huge hit with our guests. The next time we have a catering need, we know exactly who we will be calling!!

    Everything You Didn't Know You Needed

    If you are looking for a caterer, decorator, and wedding coordinator all rolled into one, then look no further that Maryland Country Catering. These guys are beyond amazing. We spoke with Dave while doing a venue tour and were immediately impressed with all that Maryland Country Catering had to offer. We decided to go with a different venue, but knew we needed these guys to be our caterer and were thrilled when they still agreed to work with us. From day 1 we felt like we were the only clients they were working with. They never seemed too busy to chat or go over details. We live out of the area and they were always willing to accomodate our unique planning situation and ensure we weren't overlooked or missed anything. Not only were we provided with a delicious menu tasting event where we were able to sample a huge variety of menu items, they were even willing to make us additional choices of items to try which weren't served on our tasting day. They also took care of table centerpieces and odds/ends decorations as needed, which was a huge help! Jenn's eye for design and the warehouse of decorations we were able to look at was incredible. She even worked with me for item specific decoration ideas. We were able to drop off all our personal decorations with them 2 weeks before our wedding and they handled the setup and take down of all of it, making the end of the night cleanout painless. All of the staff were incredible, and we were surprised how many of our guests knew everyone's name at the end of the night. They helped to coordinate everything and everyone day of leaving us to just enjoy our day together and not have to worry about any details. They are truly a blessing in the wedding catering world and I would choose them again and again!

    Dave and Jen are the perfect team. They helped us with not only the food for our big day, but the decor and timeline as well. They were easy to work with, always responsive, and truly want to make your wedding day the best day ever - which they did! They are so much more than just a caterer!

    Best day of my life

    I feel like every woman has her dream wedding planned even before she meets her future husband. As a little girl you are fascinated by weddings, meeting your prince charming, and growing up faster than your parents would like. I was lucky enough to have my dream wedding and I owe all my thanks to the team at Maryland Country Caterers. Not only did they go out of their way to make planning stress free for us, but they took every idea I gave them and made it a reality. My wedding was absolutely perfect and I am so grateful for the amazing people who made that happen. I never hesitated in putting all my trust in Dave and Jen to make sure all my dreams were brought to life. I had no worries on my wedding day because I knew they had everything under control and they would make sure everything started on time. From the centerpieces and the decor, to the buffets and the cookie table, everything was beautiful. My guests raved about the food and the flaming donuts were a hit.
    The biggest compliment to Maryland Country Caterers was that multiple wedding guests have commented on how our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to and we firmly believe that without Dave and Jen, this would not be the case. We cannot thank you enough for everything that you did in making our wedding day the best day ever!

    Maryland Country Caterers, Inc's reply:

    What a wonderful day! Thank you for sharing! We had fun planning your big day! The two of you made it easy as you knew what you wanted, shared that with all the vendors you hired and let them do their jobs. I do believe we had the DREAM TEAM which made the day ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!

    Highly recommend MCC!

    I can't recommend MCC enough! We've gotten so many compliments on the food (especially the crab cakes!), and we couldn't agree more that the food was absolutely amazing! Dave was also so easy to work with. He was very organized and answered every question I had. He worked with us to make sure our menu was what we wanted, but also within our price range. On the day of the wedding, the service was also wonderful. From the bartenders to the servers, everyone was professional and helped to ensure everything ran smoothly. At the end of the night, MCC also helped with clean up. They not only cleaned up their items, but they also helped with bringing the centerpieces and other items inside, which was a huge help to my family. We couldn't have asked for a better caterer and would absolutely use them for future events! Thank you so much for everything!

    May Wedding

    MCC is on the upscale side in price, but I couldn't have trusted my wedding day with anyone else. From the one-on-one attention we received from Dave (who even came out to measure the hall, drew a to-scale floor plan, and provided the tablecloths early for us) and the decorating help from Jennifer...to the incredible food on our day. The guests absolutely loved the food, and my husband (who is strictly a meat-man that avoids seafood) thoroughly enjoyed even the mini-crab cakes. Dave went above and beyond to soothe our nerves and help solidify the vision for what was ultimately the most amazing day of our lives so far....thank you all at MCC so much. I hope to send you pictures soon!

    Amazing Food, Amazing Service

    Dave and Jen from Elegance by Maryland Country Caterers are amazing. Our venue had four exclusive caterers to chose from and we are over the moon pleased with our choice. Our meal was amazingly tasty. Even had a couple of people ask us after if we could get them the risotto recipe. Through the planning process they helped us bring our vision to life. That itself was a feat because it was in my head and not on a dream/vision board. And, they made our Pittsburgh Cookie Table into a work of art! Thank you for making our day so special and something to remember for a lifetime.

    Most amazing experience!

    Jenn an Dave were absolutely phenomenal. Jenn was so responsive and answered every single one of my many emails and questions. Dave was always available by phone call. They were both so patient and helpful. Their decor was incredibly helpful, and I did not have to buy as much decor since they had a ton for rent. The food was absolutely amazing!!! Our guests raved about it. By far the best wedding food we and any of our guests have had. The day-of coordination was flawless and they were so amazing. I am so happy we went with this company, our experience was nothing short of perfect.

    Easy to work with and the food is top notch. They are very flexible, I felt bad for emailing them as much as I did but they never acted like the changes were a burden. They offer tastings at scheduled times where you are able to try lots of different appetizers, mains, sauces, and even some drinks. It really helped trying to conceptualize our menu. We got lots of compliments on the food.

    Oh the things I could say about Dave and Jen at Maryland Country Caterers! I feel like I could write a book about them! Their service and food was literally top notch!

    My guests RAVED about the quality of food MCC provided. Many saying it was hands down the best food they have had at any wedding ever! YAY!

    Their menus are so full of selection, but Dave and Jen are always open to make adjustments to then menu to make your day filled with everything food wise that you need! They always responded to my millions of emails and text messages without delay and always made me feel like I was a member of their family and nothing less.

    Let me tell you, day of the wedding....they had EVERYTHING down pat! I literally had nothing to worry about with vendors who had already dropped off flowers or cake, or DJ. They had everything all settled and took control of a lot of mishaps!

    You seriously get so much from this business than just "food". You get family, you get laughs and so much support when you are planning such a big event! Please, if you can go with any caterer....GO WITH THEM!
