Great experience with First Class!!

We loved our wedding food. The Asiago potatoes and Mac & Cheese were amazing!!! First Class was a preferred vendor at our venue, The Wilds, and it was clear they knew the drill here. A staff member even brought us (bride & groom) a small plate of appetizers unprompted which was sweet since we didn’t have time to grab any. Stress-free and everyone loved the food!!

Great! Would recommend

10/10 experience. Great food/bar and phenomenal service. Our guests were raving all night long! Good price point and helped us network with other Vendors as well.

My sister used First Class Catering and they were one of many companies I called when initially researching for our wedding. After our first initial phone call we knew we wanted to use them for our wedding. We did have a COVID wedding and Caleb was super knowledgeable regarding restrictions, we knew early on we were in good hands!

We had a fairly specific vision for our wedding early on and the staff at First Class Catering picked up on that right away. They helped with every aspect and we even utilized them to help with our design, too! They helped connect us to remaining Vendors which was super helpful as we partnered to pick out linens, plates, silverware, etc. The final product was beautiful and exactly the vision I had in mind (maybe better)!

The entire staff went above and beyond. We had an initial tasting to help us narrow down the many options available. We ended up doing a split plate, passed appetizers and a mini charcuterie plate at each place setting. We even had two signature cocktails along with beer/wine options!

On the wedding day, I was met in the bridal suite with the signature cocktail and the groom got his favorite beer hand delivered to him as soon as he walked in the door. Extra steaks were even delivered to the groomsmen after dinner!

For the dinner service, we used the "simultaneous service" offering which was a show in itself. The wait staff (dressed professionally and they were all SO KIND) delivered the plates at the same time to each table. It was not only efficient but an elegant touch to the dinner service.

We were in good hands with First Class Catering, the service AND the food was great, which is not easy to find! Our guests raved about them all night! You know you made a good choice when a guest requests their business card after dinner!
