I had a fantastic experience with Dennis and the team from Liberation Foods. They catered my 120 person wedding and I could not have been happier with the food and the service that Dennis and his team provided. I would 100% recommend them and will personally use them again in the future. Dennis was highly communicative and extremely reliable. He responded to my emails and questions quickly which really stood out from many of the other vendors I was working with on the wedding who were much less responsive. The food was delicious, and I got a lot of comments from my guests (many of whom are foodies) on just how good the food was. The highlights of the menu were the butternut squash ravioli (possibly one of the top 10 dishes I have ever eaten), the prime rib carving station, the garlic mashed potatoes, and all the passed appetizers (we had mini wellingtons, short rib crostinis, and stuffed mushrooms). Dennis' food is full of flavor and really well presented. Even the simple garden salad had a tasty twist, with pickled onions and a vibrant vinaigrette. My only regrets were 1) the horseradish accompanying the prime rib was much too strong, and 2) the stuffed chicken breast came out a bit dry - hard to do that type of a dish at such high volume. But overall we loved everything, the service was great, and I felt it was very reasonably priced compared to other caterers that I had looked at.
I searched around for a caterer for a dinner buffet for my wife's 80th birthday and chose Liberation Foods based on their reviews and responses to my inquiries. I am giving them the highest rating because of the food they prepared, their excellent service staff (they set up and served), and their price was very fair.
I highly recommend them, and would certainly use them again.
Dennis and the Liberation Foods team were so grounding, competent, and kind throughout our whole wedding process, and the food was amazing. We appreciated Dennis's extensive pre-designed menu - it made the tasting and selection process for our wedding dinner very easy. He's a great chef and has brought together wonderful people to support the operation. Would recommend!
Me and my wife had Liberation foods host our wedding reception’s appetizers and dinner. We tried a few vendors initially, and Liberation was our favorite. They went above and beyond, were clearly very experienced, the service was excellent, and everyone said the food was fantastic. One of the things that made the difference in choosing them was that the dishes had clearly been perfected over time and the quality of the sauces was excellent. I highly recommend them!
Dennis was very responsive. And assigned team for event was also very responsive. Team brought in their own plates silverware, tools to the party home. Arrived early and took everything back out. Their storage equipment was clean and organized! Appetizers were a bit dry, but salads, Chicken, salmon, ribeye, dinner rolls, and mashed potatoes were wonderful!!!! Successful event so family could focus on celebrating, instead of cooking! Thanks Liberation Foods team!!!
Liberation Foods is absolutely fantastic. If I have another need for catering, I'll be hiring them again, and recommending them to everyone!Chef Dennis and his team were fantastic and incredibly professional while also being incredibly chill - a vibe I recommend for everyone in the wedding planning process.Working with Chef Dennis was really delightful. He was very helpful and thoughtful through the process: communicative, happy to provide suggestions to supplement our menu, and support any dietary needs/requests and supplies.It's been a month since our wedding and people are still talking to me about how amazing the food was (get the Cadillac mashed potatoes) You won't regret working with this team and their delicious food!
Liberation foods did amazing job catering my wedding back in October at Wolfe heights estate. I never had a call, text, or email that went unanswered. He was always so warm and kind with every interaction with me. They should be a preferred vendor for the venue and all wedding venues! His team was so professional, communicative, and accommodating. He will make any budget work and the private tasting for me and my family was very special. I was really worried about securing a vendor that was full catering with wait staff, China, and buffet style to feed about 150 people in two hours and that was affordable. He completely exceeded all my expectations and helped shape my dream wedding that I didn’t know I was even dreaming of. His team was on time, prepared, and the food was delicious. We had it all: appetizers, vegetarian options (salad and pasta), meat options (chicken and tri tip), and several sides some which were gluten free. I would recommend him over and over! Every guest was full and complimented his food and we all know wedding food is never really good when you are trying to feed about 150 people in two hours! The meat was tender and not overly cooked and chewy or cold! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and will always be grateful he made my wedding so perfect. Thank you liberation foods.
Thanks for helping us make it such a memorable event. The whole crew was such a delight . Very courteous and really worked with me to make it great . I highly recommend them. I will definitely use them again. The food was great also .
Liberation Foods went above and beyond on our wedding day by doing tasks that they didn’t even have to. Not only are they affordable, but they cooked delicious food that our guests kept complimenting. We’ve been to many weddings and unfortunately tend to taste mediocre food that have usually been sitting out for too long, but Liberation’s food was fresh, warm and yummy. Most of our guests don’t even like lamb, but pointed out how they liked the way that Liberation cooked it. Also want to give a shout out to Julia for being so nice and attentive throughout the night.
Dennis and the Liberation Foods team were amazing! The food, the service quality, and the experience of planning leading up to the wedding day were all smooth and painless! We could not give higher compliments, and our guests are still talking about the food!

We got numerous compliments on our appetizers and the brisket for our event. Dennis was incredibly flexible working with us on a last minute venue change and rentals change because of the weather, and we were incredibly grateful for that flexibility. The service throughout our event was wonderful, and we used a day-of coordinator through Dennis that was great support.
Julia ran our catering with efficiency, skill, and the utmost kindness. Knowing we were on a budget they really helped us get everything we needed at the best price possible.The food was amazing. We had more than a handful of picky eaters, and even they went back in for seconds. Delicious and delightful.Would highly recommend using liberations for your catering needs for all major life events. Much love
Dennis and staff were very helpful. Guests were complimentary of the food. All worked well
Liberation Foods is our new GOTO caterer! Yes, we have big fat Greek Family and we use a caterer often! I am soooo impressed with them and the beautiful spread they put out for our daughters Baptism. 150 people and our menu included appetizer of charcuterie boards and bruschetta. Dinner was Tri-tip, eggplant parmigiana, roasted veggies, and THE BEST chicken nuggets (even the adults were eating them) and fries for the kids. Everything was beautifully made, displayed, and cooked. They even had a charcoal grill they brought and cooked the meat on. It was delicious!!! There's nothing better than spending a pretty penny on feeding your guests and then hearing them all say the food was really good! I have to mention their service staff was top notch as well! They followed my instructions to a T. Everything was timed perfectly, and my tables were bussed and cleaned without me having to lift a finger. You guys... we basically threw our daughter a wedding so if you're throwing any kind of event of such caliber or less then Dennis and his team are who you're going to want to rely on!
Just the best. Best food, responsiveness, flexibility, attentiveness. My wedding was perfect
