Joe & Millie were fantastic to work with. They were so accommodating to what we asked to have at our wedding (providing chips & salsa during cocktail hour for Cinco de Mayo and putting together our donut bar). The food was fantastic and I loved that they provided my Husband and I with to-go boxes for later. The wedding staff was great as well. They were quick to grab empty plates/glasses and refill the beverage area. I highly recommend Classic Catering!!!

Josef and Millie have been in the catering business for many years, and they sure know what they are doing! They are professional and will work with you to create a menu within your budget. The best part? The food is delicious! Best lasagna I have ever had!

Classic Catering was a stress free company to do business with. They know their business very well. All the little details a bride may forget they bring to your attention. The food was great, they arrived on time and had the reception set up very nice with decor as well. I was very pleased.

We explored so many options for our wedding reception, and then we found this awesome family! This catering company is amazing. The food was absolutely delicious, I almost couldn't narrow down our options for the wedding day. I wanted everything I had originally tasted when we first met Classic Catering. I strongly recommend this team over others. They are so easy to work with and the food will knock your socks off!

My wife already gave all 5s for everything from the first call to the last minute of the reception and I have to agree with her 100%. I just don't think she gave justice to the food- that was incredible. From the buffet set up and flow of the line... to the quality and quantity of the food. The food was everything and more that was promised. We had the prime rib and chicken buffet and honestly there was not even one person that I have spoken with since that has had anything but compliments about every aspect of the food. Kuddos to Joe and his family on their professional, yet down to earth personal way they handled every minute of our wedding reception.

Classic Catering and the Pipola family are so wonderful to work with! They make planning an event so easy! Their professionalism from the first time we called, to our tasting consultation, to the day of our event, was top notch! Classic Catering's menu items were just so delicious...my guests were talking about it for weeks! Thank you Classic Catering for a job well done! We appreciate all you did for us.

My husband and I just celebrated our wedding a few weeks ago on 10/10/14. We used Classic Catering and they were incredible! They were extremely professional and wonderful! The food was AMAZING!! All 117 guests enjoyed the food and the wonderful dessert table. Cocktail hour was amazing with the spread of cheeses and cracker and little Italian rice balls (cannot think of the name). This company is amazing and if/when we decided to have another event catered, we would defiantly use this one! I highly recommend them, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful! This wonderful family ran business is the best! I would higly suggest everyone to use them!

Our daughter got engaged in October 2013 and immediately wanted an October 2014 wedding. We ‘interviewed’ quite a few caterers and I have to tell you, we saw some pretty professional people- we also had a jolt of reality. We interviewed caterers that not only charged an arm and leg for a cake- but then added charges to cut it, plate it and provide a fork to eat it!!! Some required us to PAY for the tasting!!! The offices were glorious, the fliers and brochures were professional and very chic- one offered a ‘wedding planner’ that included a bride attendant to follow our daughter around all night to keep her drink full and assist in the bathroom!!! We were in sticker shock for the prices these places changed- for very little food but a lot of frou-frou. When we walked into Joe’s modest office- with the pictures of all the famous people and autographs, we knew we walked into a true family business. His wife Millie was there, and Denise came running by. Joe proudly showed us picture after picture (after picture after picture) of their work!! We ate a meal that left us satisfied till the next day!! Everything was so delicious!! We were sold. Over the course of the next year we touched base occasionally and Joe was so willing to help and guide me -this was our first wedding and when the photographer asked for a timeline I panicked- me?? Joe provided me a few samples!! Table centerpieces… make?? Me?? Joe gave some suggestions! You name it, he was there… the day before the wedding I worried about something else. I called him and he very patiently told me ‘done’! and then kindly told me to ‘relax’ it was under control. And, IT WAS!!! The entire reception went off without a hitch. The tables were set the way I envisioned, the food was delicious, the servers were phenomenal, and the night could not have flowed better. Denise was the most organized floor manager that I have ever met- she is invaluable!! Joe called a few days later to check and make sure I was happy. YES!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
