The first vendor you should secure is Classic Catering People

Lynn and her team at Classic Catering are amazing. We recently got married in 2/2024 at the Peabody Library and I do not have enough good things to say. I would book them again in a heart beat and have recommended them to all my Baltimore area friends. Their team was the single reason that our wedding was absolutely perfect, and as cliche as it is when I walked into the room for the reveal I could not believe how incredible everything looked. The entire wedding is still talking about the appetizers, signature drinks, and the food. When we did our table visits it was #cleanplateclub all around. Their team made sure every single detail turned out how it was supposed to and when we had a lot of mishaps with our day of planner Lynn and her team stepped in seamlessly to ensure nothing was missed. From the first tasting to the visit to pick out utensils to the many emails about changes to drinks apps head count etc etc etc I knew that I was in the best hands. The first vendor you should book as soon as you know your date is Classic Catering.

Great Caterer

Working with The Classic Catering People for our wedding at the George Peabody Library was a pleasure. We did not know what to expect from or how to plan our wedding, but the team at Classic Catering were responsive and provided detailed proposals, cost break-downs, and comprehensive options, helping us make the right decisions. Liv shared her experience and ideas to guide us through the logistics of the wedding and the table and place settings that we would never have considered. The input and guidance through the planning process went above and beyond what we expected.

Leading up to and during our tasting, Liv and the team provided great initial ideas based on our food preferences and were open to our suggestions and feedback. We were especially impressed that even when we suggested more obscure recipes/drinks that were not in their normal menu, they were able to adapt and gave us the chance to provide feedback/modifications during the tasting. In the end, the food tasted amazing and the team was able to deliver a menu that covered diverse foods like Mexican street food, American, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines without compromising on flavor and quality for each dish. During the wedding, Liv was also able to work with our planner, photographer, and other vendors to make sure we were able to join our cocktail hour, actually enjoy all of the food and drinks we wanted, and even take a few couple photos in the set-up stacks hall before the reception began.

We expected Classic Catering to handle the set-up and food service at the wedding, but we were especially grateful for Liv and the team's experience and ability to leave no stone unturned.

The very best!!

We used Classic Catering for our wedding at the George Peabody Library. From our first call, through all of the planning and through seeing it come to life the day of the wedding, Classic Catering was amazing to work with. Larry took our first call and we knew we were in good hands – he was so kind and never pushy - he won us over almost instantly. We worked with Liv during the planning phase and she was also our onsite/wedding day contact. Liv is wonderful - efficient and knowledgeable and a joy to work with - she just gets it. You can tell she loves what she does. We had everything we asked for and more – we never heard the word no or sorry – Classic Catering is a true partner in planning. Our custom menu was perfect (the tasting was so much fun and such a huge help in finalizing our menu). The food was served at the exact time it was supposed to be served and was hot and SOO delicious and beautifully plated. The place settings were perfection and so elegant. We had rave reviews about the food (and the presentation) throughout the entire evening and afterwards. Everything came together SO seamlessly. The bartenders and servers were amazing, Ms. Pat especially! We had late night snacks which were set up with so much special personalization – it was so thoughtful! I would recommend Classic Catering to anyone in a heartbeat. They are truly the best – we could not have asked for more.

We've had the privilege to work with Classic for over 10 years and from the food, service and presentation, the team at Classic continues to exceed their clients expectations.
