Some events carry more weight than others. The DC Firefighters Burn Foundation's Night at the Navy Yard gala is one of them, an evening that brings 350 guests together in support of burn survivors and the families beside them through recovery.

We were proud to serve as the full service catering partner this year, handling everything from passed hors d'oeuvres through a six-station dinner to a late-night snack. Each station drew inspiration from one of our Founding Farmers locations across the DMV, from fried chicken and waffles to Texas brisket to a dessert spread of our own scratch-made chocolates and sweets.

Spring gave us long-table dinners, outdoor galas, and Founding Spirits cocktails poured into the golden hour.

Now summer’s calling, and the season ahead is already filling up. Here’s to what’s next. 🥂

Some galas are about the venue. This one is about the people in it.
 
The DC Firefighters Burn Foundation’s Night at the Navy Yard gathers firefighters, burn survivors, and the medical teams and families who walk recovery alongside them. Every dollar raised goes back to hospital care, family support, and survivor programs.
 
They came to us because of our DC roots, and that became the menu. Our catering team pulled staples from our DMV restaurants and reimagined them for the room. Sliders inspired by Farmers Reston Station. Dumplings inspired by Founding Farmers & Distillers. Fried Chicken and Waffles inspired by the original DC location. Tacos, tuna bites, and more from across our restaurants.
 
It was truly a night to remember, and one we were honored to be a part of.

Pinterest board, meet reality. A mother and daughter dreamed up every detail of this confirmation party, and we brought it to life together.

There's a particular kind of summer cocktail hour that calls for something cold, something bright, and a view that doesn't quit.

Picture a bar set up by the water, cocktails built around our own Founding Spirits, distilled in-house and poured by people who understand how the spirit plays with the flavors in the glass.

A thoughtful drink list. Citrus that holds up in the heat. A breeze to do the rest.

Here's to the season ahead. Shared plates, open air, and something cold in every glass.

A wedding is rarely just one event. The engagement party sets the tone. The bridal shower brings everyone together before the big day. The rehearsal dinner is where the toasts start landing. And then there's the wedding itself.

Each one has its own rhythm, its own guest list, and its own moment. Planning them well, and planning them together, is what makes the whole season of celebration feel cohesive instead of chaotic.

We put together a full wedding planning guide walking through the timeline, the events, and how to choose a caterer you actually want to work with.

Flowers arranged. Place settings perfected. Glassware gleaming. The quiet moments before a full room.

Our full service event calendar is filling up for spring and summer across the DMV and King of Prussia. If you are planning a wedding, a shower, or a celebration of any size, we would love to be part of it.

A plated dinner slows the room down in the best way. Every course intentional. Every guest taken care of.

There's a reason corporate teams start booking spring events the moment the weather turns. After months of conference rooms and back-to-back virtual meetings, people are ready to be somewhere that feels like somewhere. Outside, ideally. With good food, a thoughtful drink, and enough time to actually talk to each other.

The food is the foundation, and we take it seriously: scratch-made menus, seasonal sourcing, zero-proof beverages and cocktails built around spirits from our own distillery. But what makes a spring event memorable is everything around the meal. The rooftop at golden hour. The first round of drinks on a patio. The way a team relaxes when they're not under fluorescent lights.

We're booking spring corporate events now across DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Greater Philadelphia. If you're ready to start the conversation, link in comments.

A busy weekend for us might mean a wedding in Virginia, a corporate reception in DC, and several drop-off events in Maryland, all on the same Saturday.

What keeps the standard consistent across every event is the same thing that's always driven how we work: everything starts in our kitchen. Scratch-made food, farm-direct sourcing, and a team of career hospitality professionals who've spent years running high-volume restaurant service.

This is how we've always worked. Every event, every time. https://www.foundingfarmerscatering.com/start-planning
