It was absolutely delicious and one of my favorite things on the menu. Our officers and guests raved about the food throughout the evening. In fact, the officers enjoyed it so much that they were already asking if we could order our Thanksgiving meal from the same caterer! When you're organizing a large event, having a caterer you can rely on makes an enormous difference. The food was wonderful, the service was excellent, and they helped make our awards dinner a special evening. Highly recommend!

I'm always looking for other events to have them cater.

She's responsive, anticipates needs I didn't even know I had as the wedding coordinator for my sister's wedding. Over the four months that I had to plan this event, Sandy, who is now on my speed dial, was with me every step of the way, and not just for my catering needs. She was my confidante, mentor, and occasionally my therapist to talk me off the ledge...and now I count her as a friend. This doesn't even begin to describe the food. No detail was missed. The filet melted on our tongues; the chicken was a delight to our tastebuds; the salmon, the potatoes, the salads...I cannot begin to find the words to express the amazingness and deliciousness of each and every dish. Not to mention the signature cocktails we came up with...actually, let me mention them: creative, festive, and beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about this woman and this company. She came through at every turn and does that for every client she has. I sincerely look forward to working with her in the future, and more than that, I look forward to continuing my friendship with her.

Review Classic Catering Wedding Services May 24, 2026…read moreBottom Line Up Front: This caterer did not provide all services specified in the contract, was unresponsive when problems arose, and provided ok-not-great food. They employ hard-working staff with minimal English so communication was an issue. We would not recommend them. Background and Contract This was an upscale wedding held at a bucolic rural residence in Waterford VA on Memorial Day Weekend 2026. There were 160 guests. Customer has hosted three previous weddings, including one only eight months prior, and has experienced numerous upscale weddings. The setup was on open property, on grassy farmland. The wedding celebration included a pre-ceremony activity (no/minimal food/drink with a few chairs), a wedding ceremony (chairs in rows under a tent), a post-ceremony cocktail reception (servers offering passed drinks, passed hors d'oeuvres outdoors, open bar, table with light refreshments/dips), dinner (servers, tables/chairs under a tent plus buffet serving table with steam serving equipment), dancing/dessert (dessert bar with servers), after dinner campfire (arranged by the venue) with "s'mores" (marshmallows/chocolate bars/graham crackers) (to be set up by servers). Classic Catering was selected as the catering service because they had experience at the venue, and because online reviews seemed favorable. The written contract included: 1. Servers and bartenders, event supervisor 2. Food including hors d'oeuvres, light refreshments, dinner, dessert 3. Setup of all chairs and tables for dinner, chairs for ceremony, plus bar and cocktail area, dessert area, s'mores station 4. Cleanup/takedown of food, trash, chairs, tables. The contract also included some special touches: 5. Appetizers served to the bride and groom so they would have them immediately after the ceremony (during a special seclusion time) 6. Extra plates during dinner for people who want a second helping of food 7. Passed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres after the ceremony. Servers were instructed to approach guests and circulate so that all guests desiring food/drink could be served without waiting in a line for food/bar/drink. Basic Agreements and Promises by Caterer 1. Customer hired a wedding planner. They provided a timeline and setup specifications to Caterer. Communications to caterer were crystal clear. 2. Customer/coordinator held a walk-through specifically for the caterer a few weeks before the wedding. Caterer did not attend (claiming an emergency), and only called to cancel one hour before the appointment time. 3. Customer/coordinator sent a detailed timetable for the event. There was no question what was supposed to happen when. Dessert was set up at 8:15; the timetable clearly specified 9:00PM 4. It is challenging to provide a hot meal for 160 people eating under a tent in a farm field. This requires food selection and preparation to remain fresh, hot, and appetizing on steam trays, with food being kept hot for a long time. All of this was known and discussed in advance, and caterer was expected to plan accordingly. 5. Customer/wedding coordinator sent several texts, emails, and voice mails providing instructions, including special updates the day before and day of because of rain the day before, but no rain the day of the wedding. As can be seen below, these instructions were either not received, not passed along, or disregarded. For example, the wedding coordinator texted Sandy (sales representative from Classic Catering) at 10AM to say we were going back to the original set up for the cocktail hour and dessert. The onsite catering staff never got that message, had no clue, and this caused delay and rework. 6. Caterer promised to have supervisors on site to instruct staff. On wedding day, the supervisor demonstrated lack of experience and inadequate English. Communication, proactive management, and responsiveness were lacking. Experience on Wedding Day 1. In the days before the ceremony and that day, there was rain in the area. It was evident that the ground would be wet and muddy. Catering staff used a truck that could not drive across the fields, and so they had to unload far from the wedding area. This caused delays and tired workers before the wedding activities even started. 2. Caterer provided inexperienced staff who did not speak English. Basic hospitality skills were lacking. 3. Catering staff contracted to set up chairs and tables for the ceremony and the dinner. This is a major effort that requires many hands, and only the caterer has this number of personnel. Catering staff seemed unaware that they were responsible. The staff had no setup instructions, though these had been provided to the caterer. The staff did not speak English so they were hesitant and unresponsive. The wedding coordinator and her helper wound up moving tables and chairs and performing much/most of the setup, along with the bartender (one of the few catering staff who spoke English). The bartend
