Amazing experience

I can’t begin to express how wonderful our experience was with Classic Catering. From the wonderful array of food options, the personalized tasting experience, the willingness to customize your menu, the responsiveness and support while planning, and the attentiveness through the wedding…we could not have had a better caterer.

We knew we wanted to do stations so we could get people on the dance floor right away and our partner, Lynn, at Classic helped us develop a delicious menu for our guests to enjoy with a variety of options. We had several people proactively tell us how impressed they were with the food…multiple people even said it was the best meal they’ve ever experienced at a wedding.

I would 100% recommend working with Classic for your wedding.

Best Wedding Food

We could not have been happier with our choice of caterers for our daughter's wedding. Classic Catering was amazing!!! From the first time I spoke with them on the phone, until the end of the wedding reception, things could not have gone better. Our representatives from Classic Catering were easy to work with and were great communicators. Emails, texts and phone calls were always responded to promptly. From the variety of choices for appetizers, entrees and desserts, to the adult and non-adult beverages, linens and tent rental, they were amazing. They worked with us every step of the way and the day of the wedding could not have been better. Our guests raved about the food and the service. Quite a few of the guests said the food was as good as the food you would get at a fine restaurant. The workers were discreet as they moved among the guests and could not have been nicer. I will definitely use Classic Catering again and recommend them highly. You will not be disappointed.

The first vendor you should secure is Classic Catering People

Lynn and her team at Classic Catering are amazing. We recently got married in 2/2024 at the Peabody Library and I do not have enough good things to say. I would book them again in a heart beat and have recommended them to all my Baltimore area friends. Their team was the single reason that our wedding was absolutely perfect, and as cliche as it is when I walked into the room for the reveal I could not believe how incredible everything looked. The entire wedding is still talking about the appetizers, signature drinks, and the food. When we did our table visits it was #cleanplateclub all around. Their team made sure every single detail turned out how it was supposed to and when we had a lot of mishaps with our day of planner Lynn and her team stepped in seamlessly to ensure nothing was missed. From the first tasting to the visit to pick out utensils to the many emails about changes to drinks apps head count etc etc etc I knew that I was in the best hands. The first vendor you should book as soon as you know your date is Classic Catering.

We've had the privilege to work with Classic for over 10 years and from the food, service and presentation, the team at Classic continues to exceed their clients expectations. Their food makes them the top choice for brides, but the friendly professionalism of Lynne, Teri and Bobby are what everyone from the brides to their guests love.
