Joe & Millie were fantastic to work with. They were so accommodating to what we asked to have at our wedding (providing chips & salsa during cocktail hour for Cinco de Mayo and putting together our donut bar). The food was fantastic and I loved that they provided my Husband and I with to-go boxes for later. The wedding staff was great as well. They were quick to grab empty plates/glasses and refill the beverage area. I highly recommend Classic Catering!!!Joe & Millie were fantastic to work with.

Josef and Millie have been in the catering business for many years, and they sure know what they are doing! They are professional and will work with you to create a menu within your budget. The best part? The food is delicious! Best lasagna I have ever had!Josef and Millie have been in the catering business for many years, and they sure know what they are doing!

Classic Catering was a stress free company to do business with. They know their business very well. All the little details a bride may forget they bring to your attention. The food was great, they arrived on time and had the reception set up very nice with decor as well. I was very pleased.Classic Catering was a stress free company to do business with.

We explored so many options for our wedding reception, and then we found this awesome family! This catering company is amazing. The food was absolutely delicious, I almost couldn't narrow down our options for the wedding day. I wanted everything I had originally tasted when we first met Classic Catering. I strongly recommend this team over others. They are so easy to work with and the food will knock your socks off!We explored so many options for our wedding reception, and then we found this awesome family! This catering company is amazing.

Our daughter got engaged in October 2013 and immediately wanted an October 2014 wedding. We ‘interviewed’ quite a few caterers and I have to tell you, we saw some pretty professional people- we also had a jolt of reality. We interviewed caterers that not only charged an arm and leg for a cake- but then added charges to cut it, plate it and provide a fork to eat it!!! Some required us to PAY for the tasting!!! The offices were glorious, the fliers and brochures were professional and very chic- one offered a ‘wedding planner’ that included a bride attendant to follow our daughter around all night to keep her drink full and assist in the bathroom!!! We were in sticker shock for the prices these places changed- for very little food but a lot of frou-frou. When we walked into Joe’s modest office- with the pictures of all the famous people and autographs, we knew we walked into a true family business. His wife Millie was there, and Denise came running by. Joe proudly showed us picture after picture (after picture after picture) of their work!! We ate a meal that left us satisfied till the next day!! Everything was so delicious!! We were sold. Over the course of the next year we touched base occasionally and Joe was so willing to help and guide me -this was our first wedding and when the photographer asked for a timeline I panicked- me?? Joe provided me a few samples!! Table centerpieces… make?? Me?? Joe gave some suggestions! You name it, he was there… the day before the wedding I worried about something else. I called him and he very patiently told me ‘done’! and then kindly told me to ‘relax’ it was under control. And, IT WAS!!! The entire reception went off without a hitch. The tables were set the way I envisioned, the food was delicious, the servers were phenomenal, and the night could not have flowed better. Denise was the most organized floor manager that I have ever met- she is invaluable!! Joe called a few days later to check and make sure I was happy.

My wife already gave all 5s for everything from the first call to the last minute of the reception and I have to agree with her 100%. I just don't think she gave justice to the food- that was incredible. From the buffet set up and flow of the line... to the quality and quantity of the food. The food was everything and more that was promised. We had the prime rib and chicken buffet and honestly there was not even one person that I have spoken with since that has had anything but compliments about every aspect of the food. Kuddos to Joe and his family on their professional, yet down to earth personal way they handled every minute of our wedding reception.My wife already gave all 5s for everything from the first call to the last minute of the reception and I have to agree with her 100%.

My husband and I just celebrated our wedding a few weeks ago on 10/10/14. We used Classic Catering and they were incredible! They were extremely professional and wonderful! The food was AMAZING!! All 117 guests enjoyed the food and the wonderful dessert table. Cocktail hour was amazing with the spread of cheeses and cracker and little Italian rice balls (cannot think of the name). This company is amazing and if/when we decided to have another event catered, we would defiantly use this one! I highly recommend them, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful! This wonderful family ran business is the best! I would higly suggest everyone to use them!My husband and I just celebrated our wedding a few weeks ago on 10/10/14.

We recently used Classic Catering for my daughters wedding on October 13, 2012. Joe, Millie, and Denise were so much more than we could have asked for. Joe met with us several times and was very patient with our indiciveness. He planned our menu to budget and yet made it above our expectations. We were concerned about the distance of where their business was located in accordance to where the venue was ( approx. 1hour away) in keeping the food hot. Joe assured me the food would be to my liking in every way, and it definately was. The food was FABULOUS, HOT, AND THE GUESTS ALL LOVED IT. I had several guests approach me at the wedding and ask who the caterer was saying how much they enjoyed the food. I still have people telling me everyday how great the food was. At the wedding Denise was there running the show with her assistants. I regret I did not get the name of the gentleman who was with her, as I wasn't told this until after all was said and done, but he himself brought my daughter (the bride) her plate to the table, opened her napkin to set on her lap and placed it, and pushed in her chair for her. Wow, talk about going above and beyond. That was excellent service to say the least. They served the champagne toast, and cut the cake for the guests. Classic Catering's owners and staff made this the most memorable experience we could have asked for, and I thank them for that and being so kind, and pleasant to work with.We recently used Classic Catering for my daughters wedding on October 13, 2012.

We hired Classic for our May 7, 2016 wedding. Joe and Mille were wonderful to work with. We did a tasting with Joe and were SOLD right then and there. We were so very happy with our selection for catering. Not only was the food amazing and the customer service excellent, we received so many good comments from our guests about how great the food and staff were. Let me tell you,... as a Bride it helps to tasks so much of the stress off when you know you have chosen a good vendor. They are AMAZING and we would highly recommend them for any event!We hired Classic for our May 7, 2016 wedding. Joe and Mille were wonderful to work with.

First let me say oh my goodness! I have never had chicken at a wedding that wasn't dry! They really know their stuff! They know what to do in order to keep food amazingly delicious when cooking in large quantities. I had the chicken rollitini with asparagus and prociuto (sp?) in the middle with vodka sauce. So delicious. And the specialty iced tea is to die for. The servers were the most hospitable people. And the bartender always had a smile on his face. When we came in he told us the cash bar was almost up, but he reserved some for the wedding party which was very kind of him. Also something happened to the cake and the servers fixed it.
The decor they added to the room was perfect! I didn't even know they were going to do that. Things like birdcages, burlap, little cute signs with sayings at the bar, ... all those little touches. It went with the sort of theme perfectly.
Joe and Millie are a great team. They are from New York and bring the NY personalities with them. Joe can be quite outspoken and go overboard with some of his comments (some I really did not appreciate) but I do understand that is where he comes from and he is just used to that. Millie balances all that out in a lovely way with her motherly and welcoming countenance. Main point: don't let his personality or anything else there push you away, this is an amazing deal with great food that for once, at a large gathering, sat well with me. :) Thanks Classic!First let me say oh my goodness!

They were very nice getting everything ready for the wedding. When the wedding day came they were late putting up linens. Told us we could not have our chairs covers cause they did not fit... surprise surprise we made them fit. They tried to charge an extra $900 after being paid for optional gratuity.. Told us they were provide us complimentary champagne we ened up having to pay $200 for this that was supposed to be complimentary, they were rude at my wedding and i will never recommend them to anyone.They were very nice getting everything ready for the wedding.

Communication needs work
I sent a message asking for a quote, they responded with a generic thanks for choosing us. I hadn't chosen them, I wanted information. I had to Q and A information out of them and guess what I was supposed to do to get the price.
