    Seriously they are amazing!

    Hands down every single guest told me how good the food was and how amazing the service was. We did a buffet and bar services and they were on point in every way and very affordable!

    Best Catering Team on the Panhandle

    The Classic City catering team did an outstanding job catering our wedding in September 2023. We worked closely with their team to customize a menu that fit the style of wedding we wanted and provide the type of food groupings that were our favorite. From the initial tasting to the food served at the wedding, everything was absolutely fantastic. We received numerous compliment after the wedding of how good the food was that night. I would recommend working with David, Lauren, Jacquie and the entire Classic City Catering Team for your special day. Their on-site support is top notch and the team is professional and provides excellent service. Thank you Classic City Team!

    Classic City Catering=The Best!

    Many thanks to Classic City Catering for a stellar experience. We’re thankful for David and his team’s insight, recommendations and attention to detail as we planned our wedding reception menu. CCC exceeded our expectations with an incredible cocktail hour and dinner which included delectable oysters, hors d’oeuvres, beverages, dual entree’s and more. Our guests raved about the “culinary experience” which included the highest quality food, service and presentation—all tastefully implemented by a wonderful team. Thank you for making our wedding reception so memorable-it was incredible!

    Cannot recommend enough!

    I cannot recommend Classic City enough! They are truly top notch. They just catered our wedding this past April and the food was absolutely amazing, their service was wonderful, and they were extremely helpful --they went above and beyond what you would think caterers would do. I highly recommend them for any event!

    Covid Wedding

    We had to regroup and have a reception at home on two weeks notice. David and all his people were simply delightful to do everything for us - competent, imaginative, patient, and calm in the storm. When it finally all happened, everyone raved about the food, the presentation, the safety, and the fabulous servers. It was a dream come true. We could not have had it any better if we had planned for years. Thank you.

    The best of the best

    I cannot say enough great things about Classic City Catering, David, and his team. They truly went above and beyond to make my husband and I's NYE wedding weekend beyond perfect. Not only was our food a 10/10, but their team was as well. They were professional, enthusiastic, hardworking and talented. Also, not only did David (owner) deliver on our rehearsal dinner and wedding food, but he worked diligently with all of our vendors to design and put together our venue. We owe so much of our magical night to him and his team. My husband and I so look forward to using CCC on any and all future events.

    Dream caterer

    I cannot give enough praise to Classic City Catering. First (and arguably most important) the food was to die for. So delicious, and the sales rep was so good at helping me put together the menu with substitutes/additions and the like. In addition, the catering chef and staff were unbelievable friendly, professional, and caring. They did an amazing job and even decorated the service area with the most fun/thoughtful decor. High highly recommend!

    I am THRILLED with Classic City Catering! From the first moment I contacted them until my wedding day and after, CCC was professional, helpful, accommodating, responsive and just an overall pleasure to work with. Lauren took the time to understand what I wanted for my wedding reception food and bar menu and made it happen. My guests raved about the food, everything tasted fantastic, and the service was on point. Classic City Catering is THE caterer for Pensacola/Gulf Coat wedding, I'm so glad I chose them for my wedding.

    We renewed our wedding vows after 25 years. I trusted Lauren and the crew to handle all the food and extras. We are still talking about the oyster bar, and the food after four months. We are very pleased and would highly recommend Classic City, especially if you are traveling from out of town and want everything beautiful.

    They are the Very Best in Pensacola and beyond. Our guests were thrilled with the assortment of food and the tastes were WONDERFUL. The Lamb Chop Lolipops, Salmon, and the Beef Tenderloin were great hits. I was asked often who the Caterer was.

    Clean up following the Wedding was very efficient. Left over food was put in containers and placed in the refrigerator. A huge basket was prepared for the Bride and Groom. I highly recommend David Penneman and his fine Staff.

    Classic City Catering went above and beyond for our daughter's wedding in Gulf Shores. The food was phenomenal; they catered the Mexican taco bar for the rehearsal dinner, with a gorgeous s'more/bonfire fete on the beach! The next morning they provided delicious breakfast casseroles, croissant, fruit, coffee and mimosas for the entire house so the wedding party could relax and prepare. Finally, the BBQ/Southern shrimp boil plus fixings for the reception and over the top service was my saving grace! I HIGHLY recommend David Penniman/Classic City Catering for any event!!!

    Classic City Catering did a fantastic job at my wedding. The food and the service were both great! I thought everything was reasonably priced, and it felt very upscale. My guests were very impressed! Classic City even helped me with the rentals for my venue (a vacation home). The staff was very pleasant to work with; I highly recommend!

    Classic City Catering is absolutely the best! We enjoyed every minute of our experience. Lauren was outstanding & very attentive, she took care of all details. This was a destination wedding and we had no chance for any tastings. We took a leap of faith and we're so happy we did. The chef put together a perfect menu based on our suggestions. As the bride and groom, we missed cocktail hour. We were so delighted to find that they had saved a plate of hors d’oeuvres at our table. The staff was the best. All the plates were piping hot. We're foodies and didn't want your typical bland "wedding food." The food was delicious. Everyone raved about their meals. Our bartender was outstanding and very friendly. We would recommend Classic City to anyone.

    Thank you so much Lauren and the gang!! You made our special day even more special.

    I had an outdoor wedding and my planner said Classic City was the best...and they were! If there's one thing people remember about a wedding, it's the bad food. Six months later, our guests are still raving about the food/drinks! Every member of their staff was friendly and the food was cooked fresh on the premises and it was obvious! We were able to set up a tasting menu with the wines we were to serve and Classic City did the perfect tasting for us to decide what went best. The servers were flawless in their serving of the correct wine with each dish. The seafood gumbo is to die for! They also created our dessert bar perfectly with mini-desserts to hit every kind of sweet tooth. I never spoke to the bartender, but my guests loved him! All in all, they were better than I could've hoped for and I would recommend them to anyone.

    Our food was delicious! David at Classic City is so talented. We did a tasting, and the hardest part was deciding what to serve - EVERYTHING was delicious! Lauren stayed on top of everything beforehand, and I thought everything turned out perfectly! Our guests raved about all of our food. For drinks, we did beer, wine, and signature cocktails and our guests really enjoyed everything. We also had special glasses for the signature cocktails which added a very nice touch. I wouldn't use anyone else! I only wish I could eat David's food more often!

    Classic City Catering was outstanding. We live in New York, so communication was so important to us. They were amazing, kind, and very understanding. We loved talking to them and figuring out the menu. When we came down for the tasting we were blown away. It was better then expected. The food was amazing. My husband and I are foodies, and my mom is a New York wedding planner, so we had high hopes and high expectations. They exceeded all of our hopes. The day of they were amazing. The staff was friendly and sweet. I cannot recommend them higher.

    Classic City was hands down the best part of my wedding (other than actually getting married!) Lauren their sales manager was so helpful, always responding to my emails and calls as soon as she could. She even helped me add table covers to the décor with only a few weeks until the wedding! We had chosen their Jazz Brunch for our morning ceremony/reception and out guests from the NE kept going back for second and thirds (my Maid of Honor even confessed a new addiction to grits!) The bartender was so sweet, he kept making sure I was hydrated as I made my way around to my guests and brought me glasses of ice water. Their staff were the friendliest and most helpful people I've ever met and I would definitely recommend them for ANY event.

    I wish I could give CCC 10 stars!! My husband and I got married in September 2014 on Navarre Beach, FL. Living in the Midwest, we planned everything remotely as we were hosting a destination wedding for approximately 75 guests. Lauren was amazing to work with - she was so detailed and focused on QUALITY to ensure our wedding was exactly how I had wanted it to be! I trusted Lauren and she was able to provide me with advice that I wouldn't have known not being local. Not only did she communicate well with us before the big day, on the day of the event, I didn't have to worry about a thing (and that was without a wedding planner!) - they came, set everything up at our reception house, and everything turned out BEAUTIFUL. Our guests raved about two major things that day - the band (Super Funk Fantasy) and the incredible FOOD - and presentation of the food - at least half of the guests claimed that this was the best wedding food they had ever had - and these are people who have attended PLENTY of weddings! We were so pleased with their professionalism and friendly approach. Thank you again for everything!! -Lindsey & Matt McNulty

    Thank you Classic City Catering for your care, attentiveness, professionalism, and great food! All of my guests raved about you as well. I especially loved the basket left for us in the matter suit. I couldn't be happier and would recommend you go anyone needing catering in the Pensacola area. Thank you!

    Lauren was extremely helpful from first contact until the day of our wedding. The food was outstanding and the selection to choose from is beyond compare. The service was impeccable and very attentive. Everything looked beautiful. The evening went by so fast and we were able to enjoy ourselves without having to worry about a thing. We are still receiving compliments about what a marvelous evening it was.

    Classic City catering did such an amazing job for my wedding. I got married in downtown Pensacola and we wanted a light dinner with a lot of variety. CCC definitely delivered. From the get go Lauren made sure we knew they were going to handle everything. CCC set up the venue, made the food and served the drinks. We didnt have to eotry about anything. The staff was super nice and very professional and the food was a huge hit with our guests. Everyone raved about how good the food was and there was a nice variety so everyone found something they liked. CCC even sent my husband and I home with a goodie basket of little to-go food and champagne. I can't say enough good things about Lauren, David and the rest of the staff. They really made our wedding special.

    My daughter married June 20, 2014 in a Pensacola beach wedding for a 130 people. The reception was in the back yard and under the pillars of the house. We used Classis City Catering. Their mission statement is certainly true; a full service detailed oriented catering company. David was very professional and easy to work with, we chose CCC bc of his reputation for food creativity, display and taste. David didn’t disappoint. The food was beautifully displayed and tasted fabulous. David made this event upscale in fact very upscale.His staff was also very professional. We never ran out of food nor did people have to wait in line at food stations or the bar. CCC also furnished the signature drinks (their recipes) beer and wine. The bar bill was not inflated the staff returned any opened bottles. None of the horror stories you hear about caters overcharging. We also never ran out. I would highly recommend David. P.S. Another couple had just attended a wedding at an exclusive resort in Pensacola they couldn’t believe how much better David’s food tasted and looked.ga
