Ahhh. Maze. Ing!

I'll add more photos when we get them back BUT until then... words cannot express how amazing Classic Catering and all their staff are! Due to some unforseen issues, we had to change caterers two months before our wedding with over 200 guests. Sandy was so quick to jump to our rescue! When I say I was a complete wreck when we first spoke, it's an understatement! By the time we were off the phone, I was smiling and relaxing, I was confident the show would go on, and boy did it!

Norma and Sasha were so great with all of our needs, last minute changes, venue walkthroughs, etc etc etc.

From the moment I arrived at the venue, everyone was so sweet! I of course was a nervous wreck but even while setting up and greeting guests with drinks, they took ime to make sure I had water, a snack, and lots of compliments. The food was amazing and looked even better. People commented a ton about the food. Dulce was at the lead that day and was such a joy! I planned a surprise private dinner for just the hubs and I. Dulce made it happen perfectly!!!

Seriously, I cannot say enough how grateful I am for everyone at Classic Catering!

Classic Catering is the best!

Classic Catering really helped to make our wedding so spectacular. Sandy was always quick to respond and was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process, really helping us to make sure every detail was well thought out. The food options were great, and our guests just loved all the food and drinks throughout the night! The entire team the day of ensured all the details were executed beautifully and did an incredible job being on top of everything. We highly recommend the Classic Catering team!

Excellent!

I cant say enough good things about Classic Catering and their team. We had to scramble last minute (day before my wedding) to change all the plans due to tropical storm Ophelia and classic catering team pulled it off without a hitch! The team came many hours earlier that they were originally supposed to set up and make sure all the food was exactly as we wanted! All the food from apps, to entrees to the desserts were amazing! Guests were particularly impressed by the unique passed apps ( cute mini tomato bisque shooters!) and the ice cream float station. Sandy was a hoot to work with and the team is superaccommodating and will work with you on just about everything! Norma and her team did a fantastic job supervising my event and I highly highly recommend classic catering!
