I worked with Sandy and she is amazing. One star is just for her since she is a delight. She worked with me to make sure the food and reception were in my budget but still amazing. Honestly I had no idea what I was doing and she was my guiding light in the storm. Her catering team was very professional! Quick set up, great food, and even better service! Our theme was Renaissance festival and her team went out of the way to cater to me and my husband, bringing our drinks whenever we got low. We chose to go with buffet style and they still attended on the guests by removing plates and setting up the places, not just letting everyone fend for themselves. The bartender needs to be at everyone's wedding, delicious drinks that weren't watered down! The green beans, mashed potatoes, and Champaign chicken were my favorites! Guests also raved about the tortellini, salad, and bread sticks. It's not often bread sticks are so often raved about! I recommend Sandy and her team, you won't have to worry about anything with them taking care of the food for you.

OMG, Classic Catering did an amazing job at our "Christmas in November" event last weekend! We booked them because we heard that their food was good, but that reallyl was an UNDERSTATEMENT! It was delicious...I mean REALLY delicious and I've got a fist full of comment cards to prove it! Ours was not an easy event--we have a farm store connected to our house which is also connected to our Airbnb and this party started at one end and went through to the other with food stations sprinkled throughout. In addition, we had asked Sandy and Rob to make small bites/apps using a number of the unique products we sell in our farm store, so they had to create recipes with what we sell! They did and gave us the recipes so that we could in turn share them with our customers! Their serving staff was personable and knowledgeable and set up all the food stations quickly and cleaned up as though they hadn't been here--really, it was just amazing how quickly they put our home back together and how clean everything was after 94 people had been through it for four hours! If you're looking for a caterer you can depend on, one that focuses as much attention on presentation as they do taste, look no further. You will be really pleased. Feel free to check out our website www.beeandtrees.biz to see more pix than those I'm posting here.

Classic Catering catered our wedding of 40 people. They were willing to talk with us about the menu and negotiate the contract on some aspects that are typically included we weren’t interested in. Sandy the owner is very nice and wants to make sure you have the perfect catering experience and your vision of the tablescapes comes to life. The team we had the day of our wedding was fantastic. They were punctual, organized, and knew exactly what needed to be done. They seamlessly transitioned through each phase of the wedding, a fact many of our guests commented on after the fact. We utilized 3 of their ‘active stations’, allowing guests to customize their dining experience with slider, pizza, and pasta selections. We and all of our guests loved the food. I would highly recommend them for your event!

From my first conversation with Sandy at Classic Catering to the wedding day she has been professional, helpful, supportive, and accommodating. She does everything she can to make your dreams and vision come to life. The entire staff worked hard and diligently to make our rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour and reception absolutely perfect. The food was delicious, fresh and perfectly prepared. You will never regret hiring Classic Catering as your caterer!

Classic Catering was by far and away our number 1 choice to provide catering for our 150 person wedding. Sandy and our day of team leader Dulce made everything seem effortless and we are absolutely thrilled that we used them! They made the entire process seamless for us from the tasting to choosing our menu, and helping us to plan the set-up and flow of the reception. The food was outstanding! Our guests could not stop raving about it! Sandy went above and beyond to make this event our daughters dream. All of the servers were professional friendly and accommodating. On top of all this they packed our van up and we could just drive away. This was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day!

Classic catering prepared a great menu for our wedding, pulling in our favorite foods! Our guests loved the options they provided (food stations), especially the short ribs. They also moved incredibly quickly to help flip our ceremony hall into the reception hall during our cocktail hour -- no easy feat! We highly recommend!

Classic Catering really helped to make our wedding so spectacular. Sandy was always quick to respond and was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process, really helping us to make sure every detail was well thought out. The food options were great, and our guests just loved all the food and drinks throughout the night! The entire team the day of ensured all the details were executed beautifully and did an incredible job being on top of everything. We highly recommend the Classic Catering team!

We really enjoyed working with Classic for our wedding! We gave Sandy our vision and she executed it very nicely. Sandy is very accommodating, creative and passionate about the work she does. We were so happy with our food/beverage package and the overall service. We got so many compliments on our food! Thank you, Classic!!

Classic Catering was awesome to work with- from the tasting to cocktail hour to dinner- everything was perfect. Sandy was great with communications and helping with the menu choices. The food was amazing and everyone raved about it. Naomi was wonderful on the day of the wedding and I could sit back and know everything was taken care of.

Sandy and team were amazing!!!! We booked them for our rehearsal dinner and were so impressed by how everything turned out. The food was delicious!! They have this bacon, onion, and Gruyère dip that I could bathe in, the cutest little grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters for passed hors D’Oeuvres that are to die for, and a chicken piccata that rivals some of the best I’ve ever had. We dealt exclusively with Sandy, and I cannot get over how wonderful she was to work with. From our introductory call, my now husband and I knew we wanted to work with her. Sandy is funny, personable, generous, and knowledgeable. She’s creative and attentive and easy to work with. She asked a handful of initial questions, took a few minor facts about me and my now husband, and listened to our rambling gibberish about the foods we gravitate toward and created the perfectly tailored menu. She went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I got what we wanted. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating and made herself available whenever we had questions or needed to make alterations. These guys were great and I would love to work with them again!

The catering, both food and service, provided by Classic Catering was absolutely THE highlight of our wedding. Our guests are still raving about how epic the food was. If you’re on the fence about choosing Classic Catering, don’t hesitate for a second longer. It was by far the best decision we made in planning our wedding. Not only was the food insanely good, but the food display during cocktail hour was out of this world. Sandy and Norma are beasts at their job, steered us in the right direction the entire time, and were so attentive to our needs. The staff on the day of, from bartenders to waiting staff were also a dream. There is absolutely no exaggeration in this review. They delivered from start to finish and we have guests still contacting us for the catering company’s info. I actually wish they have a restaurant we can order from so we can enjoy their food all the time. THANK YOU CLASSIC CATERING for MAKING our wedding day impeccable!!

I can say enough good things about Classic Catering and their team. We had to scramble last minute (day before my wedding) to change all the plans due to tropical storm Ophelia and classic catering team pulled it off without a hitch! The team came many hours earlier that they were originally supposed to set up and make sure all the food was exactly as we wanted! All the food from apps, to entrees to the desserts were amazing! Guests were particularly impressed by the unique passed apps ( cute mini tomato bisque shooters!) and the ice cream float station. Sandy was a hoot to work with and the team is superaccommodating and will work with you on just about everything! Norma and her team did a fantastic job supervising my event and I highly highly recommend classic catering !!!

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!

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.

I don’t know what was better, the food or our coordinator Norma and the Classic Catering staff. We are so glad we picked Classic Catering; the whole process from start to finish was smooth. Thank you so much CC team!!

Norma and Sandy at Classic Catering were god sends on our wedding day. They were so flexible, responsive and extremely helpful in the weeks leading up to our wedding day (and let's be honest, months because I always have a lot of questions). Sandy helped us to create a very summery dinner menu that we got lots of compliments on -- the hors d'oeuvres were SO good too! And Norma provided the best experience for our wedding guests, serving food promptly, working with a difficult venue with extreme professionalism, and being just all around helpful, sweet and kind. We are so grateful we got to work with them and that they helped to make our day so special. 15/10 would recommend.

Classic Catering is EVERYTHING. From start to finish they were incredible. Sandy was so enthusiastic and creative in making a menu that fit our vibe and what we were going for PERFECTLY. Her passion for what she does and making people happy is out of this world. She really goes the extra mile and puts so much care into her clients. Watching her creative mind create an entire concept that encapsulates everything you want your day to be is SO MUCH FUN. SHE NAILED IT. On the day of our wedding, the Classic Catering Team SHOWED UPPPP (as they always do). They did so much work to adhere to our venue's guidelines for setup/breakdown all while making the best tasting food and handling the entire day with smiles on their sweet faces. From the old fashioned soda bottles, mini passed foods before and after the ceremony, family style dinner, late night tacos and mini burgers, and churros for dessert, everyone was in food heaven. They accommodated my mom's food allergies so she could enjoy just like everyone else. It was a whole EXPERIENCE. Friends and fellow wedding vendors who have been to MANY weddings told me it was the best wedding food they've ever had. THEY RAVED. It's been a month and everyone is still talking about how delicious it was. Friends at our wedding booked them for their wedding because it was just that good. Each staff member was so kind. If there was anything difficult behind the scenes, I never would have known because everyone was so happy and nice. Norma was our day of Catering Captain. She's an absolute DREAM. She could run an event with her hands tied behind her back. She was a calming presence and magically popped up everytime we needed something. She even gave me bobby pins out of her own hair when my veil wouldn't stay in. She was there with private drinks and plates of food for me and my husband before and after the ceremony. She made sure we had time to eat at the reception without anyone bothering us. She was by our side with so much care and attention. She ran everything so beautifully. We never needed or wanted anything because she was already there taking care of it. Classic Catering went above and beyond. We wanted mini margaritas passed out with our late night tacos and they did all the coordinating with the bar to make it happen. They even brought my husband and I our own mini marg shooters (with our names on them) so we could do a shot on the dance floor. The day of they surprised us with personalized glassware and a shot board. They washed it all and sent it home with us. With them you get so much more than you even THINK you're going to get...which is already so much. The attention to detail we felt was wild. I KNOW they did so much work behind the scenes yet still made us feel so seen and pampered and taken care of. I'm a wedding planner myself and I know it can be hard to find companies that hit every mark with not only delivering fabulously on their provided service but also being able to do it in a friendly/positive manner AND working well with other vendors AND paying attention to all the little details AND being a calming presence and Classic Catering does it all. We're fans for life. I can't thank them enough for helping us have the most magical day of our lives. Not only that...but the lead up to it was easy and stress free and we never even went one minute without feeling like they had our back. 1,000/10 RECOMMEND. TO SANDY AND NORMA AND SASHA and the whole team, we love you all. THANK YOU!

Sandy and her team were amazing! The food was absolutely amazing. Everyone cleaned there plates and there was enough for people to grab seconds. They provided the most beautiful linens, silverware, drink ware, and plates to pull off the whole look. If you want mouth watering food with ZERO compliments from the guest book classic. There team was a sweethearts and made sure everyone was taken care of all night long.

Sandy, Norma and the Classic Catering team were outstanding! We were made to feel like royalty at the tasting and the service did not fall short at all when it came to our wedding. The food was delicious, including countless vegetarian options and some unique items to celebrate our culture. Guests raved about many of the different items. Norma made sure we sampled everything from cocktail hour during photos and that we tried everything we wanted to during the reception. We had just a brief communication lapse while I was still planning some details and didn't know who was who among the company, but Sandy and Norma made sure everything was covered and planned by the date.

We booked Classic Catering for our wedding and we were very happy with how everything turned out. From the very start, Sandy was super responsive and easy to communicate with. She gave great suggestions and recommendations and made planning easier for us. The food was delicious and the drinks were made wonderfully! Norma was incredible on the day of and she made sure that we had plenty to eat and drink throughout the entire reception. I always hear people say they did not get the chance to eat at their wedding, as the bride/groom, but that was not the case here because Norma is amazing and persistent. The timing, staff, flavor, and portion sizes were all great. We have no complaints and we would definitely book them again!

Sandy and her team literally dropped in our lap, a gift from God himself. We spoke with her 2 weeks before our wedding, and she put me and my now husband mind at ease. We was asking for the bare minimum, instead Sandy rolled out the red carpet for us!! Classic catering forever will be special to us.. On our wedding day and after the guest loved the appetizers and the plethora of food options we had for them!! Thank you Sandy! Love the Buck-Coopers!

The whole team at Classic Catering is amazing. During the planning process Deborah was super communicative and helpful. At the event the buffet food was great and the staff were greater. The event coordinator, whose name I don’t remember unfortunately, was amazing and made sure that my husband and I were taken care of during the cocktail hour when we came in late and wanted some apps. The bar tender was excellent, all of my guests enjoyed talking to him. Highly recommend!

Classic Catering was one of our first vendors chosen for our October 2022 wedding. And by far, the best group we had on our special day. Sandy and her team incapsulated everything we had envisioned and more. We couldn’t imagine such a special day without her doing everything and more to make sure we could focus on each other. Please trust me when I say if you are reading this review that you found the one. Thanks Sandy for making Camila and I’s wedding a forever memory with your exquisite work and detail. Side Note: The Mini Grill Cheeses were awesome!!

Sandy and her team are incredible! Not only did everyone love the food at our wedding but her staff was super attentive, adaptable, and kind. Sandy is stellar and helped save our wedding. We had a few minor issues with decorations outside of catering just days before our wedding. And Sandy came to the rescue and had everything we needed to make our day incredible. I highly recommend Classic Catering and would use them again in a heart beat.

So happy to have found Classic Catering! Sandy was such a joy to work with. She helped us plan our menu for our daughter and future son in law’s engagement party. We almost had to change their venue due to a power outage and Sandy was so kind to understand our dilemma. In the end it worked out perfectly. All of our guests commented on amazing the food was. We had such a nice variety due to Sandy’s suggestions. They are a perfect choice when deciding on a caterer for any event. We will definitely be using them again!!

The Classic Catering team was beyond fantastic. There are several other reviews that mention how hard it is to put in words how wonderful this team is and I couldn't agree more. To be completely honest, Deborah and Sandy are the ones who made our catering wedding dreams possible when I thought they weren't. They were so easy to work with and their kindness will forever mean the world to us. The food was also delicious and so well prepared. From the tasting to the actual day, we couldn't have asked for more delicious food. Our wedding was a little over eight months ago and people are STILL talking about how good the food was at our wedding. Thanks again to Classic Catering team!

We had an outstanding experience with Classic Catering for our October wedding. From doing a tasting with Sandy to having Norma as our day-of team leader, we were met with professionalism and great attention to detail. We had a buffet style dinner and had requested many gluten free options, since I am gluten free. The food was great! The best part was that Norma greeted us after the ceremony with drinks and appetizers- exactly what we needed! We loved working with Classic Catering and highly recommend them to other couples looking for a great catering experience!

I never write reviews but felt compelled to share my experience with Sandy and Classic Catering. They went so far above and beyond our expectations for our daughter’s wedding that it is hard to put in words, but here goes. First. Sandy is amazing, personable and will work with you on planning and budget in a way that provides extreme value while providing the wedding and it’s guests with a memorable experience. Second, staff were professional, cordial, hard working and proactive. Third, food was excellent. As the father of the bride, people were coming up to me and asking the name of the caterer for their wedding. (Ask for Norma as the crew leader). Last… can’t recommend more highly.

Two words: hire them. Sandy, the owner, is a pleasure to work with and a lovely person to boot. We presented a challenge (Moroccan cuisine) and Sandy and her team met and exceeded our expectations; we enjoyed the food and got a lot of compliments from guests as well. Sandy was also super helpful in designing our tablescapes and really helped bring our vision to life.

10/05/2022

We received a lot of compliments with your food. Norma and her team were amazing! The moment me and my husband got out of the car they’re already waiting for us with food plates. I’m only giving it a 4 star though since we had a very hard time talking to their sales person, it was so bad that we actually didn’t have a lot of expectations from your company until our wedding day itself. But overall, both the staffs and food were amazing!

Classic Catering was fantastic during every step of our daughter’s twice-postponed wedding reception. The displays were amazing, the food was delicious and they went above and beyond in service. We had so many compliments from our guests regarding the quality of the food and the attentiveness of the staff. TheTeam Leader was on top of all the details and made adjustments to make the evening go smoothly. I can’t say enough about this company, and I highly recommend them to cater any wedding reception.

Classic Catering provided the catering services for my daughters wedding this past weekend 24 Sept 2022. From the beginning and at our taste testing, Sandy made us feel like family, like we had known her for years! The spread and options she provided us were amazing and far exceeded our expectations for our platedselections! Although our wedding was held in Mechaniscville, MD, and their business in VA, the good was as delicious as it was at the taste testing! I don’t know how they do it but we had so many compliments on how great the food was. The wait staff team was phenomenal and worked so hard to feed 175 guests. This truly is the caterer you want to take care of any special event!!

Classic Catering went above and beyond to execute my daughter's vision for her wedding reception. The linens, place settings and glassware were impeccable and exactly what my daughter wanted. The food was outstanding. Guests went out of their way to let us know the food was the best they ever had at a wedding reception. The staff was kind, attentive and absolutely pleasant to work with.

Classic were our MVP vendors from the day we did our tasting to our Sunday morning brunch. We did a weekend wedding with four catered events and they executed each with precision, while checking in with us during planning and occasionally that weekend in a professional, pragmatic way. We (and our guests) also loved the food, which they tailored to our needs and tasted delicious. You will thank us later for sending you Sandy and Norma's way.

Just wow ALL around! The story starts last June when my husband and I were planning our wedding. We found Classic Catering by chance through a friend and after working with Sandy and Rob we looked no further. Right off the bat the experience was exceptional. We had a beautiful and out of this world delicious tasting. We booked them right away, unfortunately my husband and I decided not to do a big wedding and had to cancel a lot of the vendors. Classic Catering was super flexible and told us we could use the deposit towards a future credit. Fast forward a year later we are able to use the credit for our baby shower! The guests loved the food which was a big hit at our shower. People couldn’t stop Raving about the quality of the meat and the pasta side! Look no further, if you need a caterer book with classic catering and get to work with Sandy!

Classic Catering is a fantastic catering company. Sandy and Sasha worked with us every step of the way, and could not have been more professional and courteous. The catering staff was very professional. Their appetizers are so delicious, received many positive reviews from guests. Definitely hire Classic Catering for your wedding!

Classic Catering went above and beyond to make sure my daughter's 15th birthday event was a success! Sandy was amazing to work in narrowing down the choices in food and table setting options! She answered all my questions and calmed all my worries! Norma, the onsite manger made sure both my husband and I relaxed and enjoyed the evening. Everything from the attentive and responsive staff, to the table settings and food was excellent! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Classic Catering exceeded our expectations with their service and sticking to our wedding timeline. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was for our small buffet of Salmon and Chicken. They even included an event planner that helped us set up for the ceremony and speedy cleanup afterwards.

It is hard to put into words how incredible the Classic Catering team truly is. We booked CC for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding - two events that we wanted entirely different themes/vibes for -- and they delivered flawlessly on both, showing how adaptable they are and the close attention to detail. Sandy understood my vision for the rehearsal dinner - winery, family style Italian, and even went so far as to order special plates and glasses to match my Pinterest inspiration for the tablescape. Our wedding was an NYE party - we wanted a variety of foods served in a cocktail style, to keep the guests on their toes and excited for the variety in each station. Sandy even went above and beyond for my vision of have late night snacks -- chicken sandwiches, pretzels, popcorn and ordered personalized bags with our names and wedding dates without me asking. And most importantly, our guests LOVED the food. Sasha was excellent, and Norma's service on the day of our events was absolutely incredible. She was so attentive, and the entire team made sure to work around me being gluten free so I could still enjoy all the food. We booked Sandy's team in 2019, and even through the pandemic she was understanding a flexible as we rescheduled and regrouped. We are so grateful for this partnership and HIGHLY recommend this team for all events, big and small!

Classic Catering is FANTASTIC. The guests wouldn't stop raving about the food. The taste, quality and team were absolutely amazing. I loved that they were willing to get creative with ideas too. If I showed her something else we wanted she immediately found ways to make it work within our menu and budget. Sandy Meehan was absolutely fantastic as well. She deserves a bonus or a raise for all of the amazing coordination she did to make our menu come to life.

Classic Catering was amazing to work with. They made sure we had everything we needed for the day of the wedding when it came to cocktail hour and the food service. They also were very thoughtful by making sure the bride and groom had food and were hydrated before, during, and after the wedding while trying to take pictures and greet guest. On top of that, the food was AMAZING! Loved working with Norma and Deborah leading up to the wedding! Such an enjoyable and professional group!

I have nothing but nice things to say about Classic Catering and Sandy, maybe too many things so I’ll bullet point them. Our wedding was originally last year, but due to COVID we had to push it to this year. When we came for our tasting, the table was set up beautifully, and there was literally so much food. Everything tasted amazing and Sandy was so hospitable and kind. Since we made a lot of changes to our wedding and even had to change venues, we opted for heavy appetizers all night instead of a traditional dinner or buffet. At one point I even changed the entire menu to serve more carb-heavy food. I felt so bad because it was only a few weeks from the wedding, but Sandy was more than happy to make the changes and was even going back and forth with menu ideas. Sandy was very understanding about our budget concerns. At one point we discussed removing some items to slightly lower the price, and she was really honest with our expectations and what she could do to help. We wanted to include a kid’s area for my husband’s nieces and nephews, and Sandy was all about it. She took the idea and had fun with it - she covered the tables in white kraft paper, brought mini pumpkins, candy, cookies, and water-soluble markers. The setup was amazing and the kids had SO MUCH FUN. Some people even came up to me and said they wished their kids would have come just for that. I love her for that! Some of my friends are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free, and Sandy was so considerate with the menu items. She offered to make the mashed potatoes vegan (made with water and vegan butter) and to make the quinoa cakes vegan and gf. Lastly, the food was amazing. We also got compliments from our families, specifically my husband’s family who is very hard to please. They said that they normally don’t like food at weddings, but they loved the food we served. The mashed potato bar was especially a hit! They couldn’t even tell it was vegan. All in all, the Classic Catering team was wonderful and Sandy is an absolute joy to communicate with. I highly recommend them for any event!

We worked with Sandy and Norma for our Oct 2021 wedding and it was definitely one of the best vendors we worked with. Our tasting was SO good and we were so excited to book for our original wedding date (Sept 2020). When we had to postpone due to COVID, Sandy was so flexible with all the changing dates and anxiety of us changing our event a billion times. And when we finally picked a date, she was incredibly helpful with planning our menu, table designs and general event ideas (the heart shelf and games they provided were amazing!!) and trust me, I was an indecisive bride. Last minute Sandy offered us black silverware for our table, which we would have never thought of and it looked so gorgeous together! And Norma was so attentive and great for our day-of - everything went smoothly and the team was so sweet. Everything went off without a hitch and I would absolutely work with Classic Catering again!

Let me say this, if you work with Classic Catering, ask for Norma because she will make every single one of your dreams come true!!! We worked with Classic Catering, and were highly satisfied with every single thing. From the quality of the food, to the price, to the willingness to work with other vendors, no bride will be disappointed with Classic Catering. Our 200 person wedding was catered by Norma and her staff who not only pulled off everything without a hitch, but also become our friends!! Specifically, Norma made sure that my entire bridal party, family and my husband and I were all fed, and always had a drink in hand. I truly feel as though we had Michelin Star service, yet the pricing was so reasonable. My recommendation is that you go into the conversation with a set budget, and one or two important details (for us it was family members served a plated meal and ice cream/donuts for dessert). From there, let the Classic Catering team (shout out to you Sandy!!!!) help tailor the rest of the catering plan to your budget. Ultimately, our wedding guests RAVED about our food, and we had the smoothest buffet line anyone has ever seen. Thank you Norma and team!!! ALSO, brides and grooms, don't worry about not eating at your wedding because Norma will make sure you are fed, and in the off chance you aren't hungry (like us), she will make sure you have a feast to take home!!

I hired Classic Catering for my wife's 50th Birthday bash. Sandy was a pleasure to work with, the menu was great, and all food was delicious & plentiful. Will definitely hire CC again!!

Initially responsive, but after receiving deposit communication was nonexistent. We ended up having to pay more than quoted and the food stations and prepared food were really disappointing. The operation was poorly managed. Our guests felt sorry for the people preparing orders at the food stations, because they had no idea what they were doing and had clearly been given no instruction. The same is true for the bartender who was not familiar with common mixed drinks. The staff did their best but were set up for failure.

Everything about Classic Catering is top notch! My daughter could not have picked a better caterer for her wedding! Sandy is wonderful and easy to work with (and a lot of fun). The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was simply delightful. We were very fortunate to have Norma (so attentive and kind) leading the staff for our event. Highly recommend!!

From the time we first met, to the tasting, right down to accommodating last minute changes the night before the wedding, I give you my Thanks and gratitude. You have been a great help to us. I hope that we've been one of your easier clients, as I know dealing with couples can sometimes be a challenge. The wedding was beautiful. Classic Catering did an amazing job, as expected. They were on time and ready. Accommodated what needed to be accommodated. The customer service was excellent and so was the food. I had the beef. I usually don't eat a lot of red meat, but let me tell you, it was soooooo tender and flavorful *Chef's kiss* I think everyone there enjoyed their meals. I absolutely look forward to working with you again in the future. You are definitely a preferred caterer in my book. Thank you so so much.

I had to quickly downsize my wedding because of Covid and classic catering allowed us to use part of our deposit to pay for our small ceremony. And when we were able to have our ‘big ceremony’ they worked with us to change our menu, take things off, and make sure I had everything I wanted. On the day of our big ceremony they had everything set up perfect and all the staff were very friendly & professional.

Sandy, Norma and the team did a phenomenal job. Every dollar was well spent with them, the food was amazing, the staff was so attentive to each and every detail, and Sandy was so helpful and accommodating from our first tasting to the wedding itself. The dinner was beautifully presented, cocktail hour was perfect, and the presentation of the dessert bar at the end was the cherry on top of it all. Sandy and her team clearly care so much about their couples, because the attention they gave us on our wedding is more than we would’ve ever expected. Norma brought trays of cocktail hour food and drinks to my bridesmaids and I at the bridal suite, and also to my groom and his friends, and was so kind to all of us. We couldn’t have possibly asked for better service from this company and we will recommend them to anybody who asks for a catering company in the future. Thank you again, Sandy, Norma, and Classic Catering.

Classic Catering was absolutely unsurpassed in every possible way. Sandy was a joy to work with from beginning to end. We had the opportunity for a sampling prior to our final choice for our caterers. The food was amazing! The samplings were prepared to perfection, and the wine pairings were superb and presentation of the food was picture perfect! Needless to say we choose Classic Catering without hesitation after our visit. We are thrilled that we did. The wedding event was just spectacular. The food was amazing and everything was seamless. The wait staff was courteous, prompt, and no detail was left unforgotten. If you are searching for the perfect Catering choice look no further than Classic Catering !

Andrea G. · getting married on 07/03/2021 Very Compassionate The owner Sandy has been very lovely to work with. Due to a military deployment the wedding has been cancelled, however she has been very compassionate and understanding as well as more than willing to come to a quick and fair agreement in refunding deposit. Thank you again, Sandy. It was a pleasure!

Classis Catering is amazing! I can't sing their praises enough. Working with Sandy and the rest of the team was seamless and they were even able to help us secure emergency party rentals hours before the event! For any couple getting married or host/hostess looking to throw a party in the DMV area, you need Classic Catering. From the tasting to the day of the event they were consistent, clear on the vision & its execution, and easy to work with. They are professional, incredibly experienced and the food is absolutely delicious! I will be recommending them to all of my future clients and highly recommend them to any and everyone. Worth every single penny!
