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!

Terrific Caterer for our Backyard Wedding

Our initial wedding caterer fell through for our backyard wedding; we contacted Sandy with only a few weeks to spare. She immediately responded and quickly developed a wonderful menu, just as we wanted.
The day of, Alejandra and her team did a FABULOUS job. It was miraculous how they were able to be there for our every need, but not at all in the way. Beyond their normal duties, they also helped us set up a photo booth, restocked our soda cooler, orderly re-packed all the leftovers, and left our place SPOTLESS.
By the time we found Classic Catering, we had already hired a bar tender. Alejandra and her team worked fluidly with our outsourced bar tender and were happy to provide extra ice and cups when our bar tender ran out.
We and our guests loved the food, beautiful displays, and adorable mini desserts. We can’t speak more highly of them, it was just as we envisioned .

Highly recommend Classic Catering!

From the moment we spoke with Sandy, we knew that we'd book Classic Catering. Her team's responsiveness, professionalism, and kindness made our experience working with them truly excellent. They were incredibly flexible and helped to customize our menu for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. They had tons of great options and were so much more affordable than many of their competitors in the region. We loved working with Brenda and her team on the day of the wedding - they handled the appetizers, meals, and late night snack with professionalism and a good sense of humor. We highly recommend Classic!
