Literally stole the show at our wedding on 8.31.24 at 5eleven Palafox - the food & bar service were AMAZING. We got SO MANY compliments on the food and they saved us (bride & groom) a bit of everything that we could take home to have, which we really appreciated because we missed out on a lot of the food the day of. It was incredible even the day after! I don't even want to know how many of the oyster apps our guests consumed... My friends were including pictures of the oysters in their highlight posts of the wedding, if that tells you anything. Lol. The staff was wonderful the whole night - super friendly & knowledgable. They accommodated a guest's food allergies & stayed on top of everything throughout the night. Took all the pressure off of me! We also used them for our bar service.... I believe the bar tender was named Barry. PHENOMENAL. A few members of my family are big boozers who like a good drink - and they were singing the bar tender's praise all night and the day after. I forgot to print out a sign for the speciality drink I was featuring, and yet everyone knew about it because the bar tender made up for it by just telling everyone about it. It's those little things that really made our special day so perfect. For what you're getting with Classic City Catering, I can't believe their pricing was still so reasonable. Loved every second of the experience with them and would 1000% recommend them to anyone needing a caterer/bar service in the area.

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 is the best in town for presentation, quality, experience, taste, and staff! They took care of everything from the food, drinks, bar, dishes, and glassware to the setup and breakdown of the reception venue space. This was important for me and my family to enjoy the day instead of working it. My guests were satisfied and just raving about the food and how good it was! This is something we and our guests will remember!

Classic City Catering receives our 5 star review for our wedding. Not only was the food FANTASTIC, but their service before and during were exceptional. We had some issues with our venue, and Classic City helped us over come them with their flexibility and expertise. Clearly, they were the professionals! Just say yes. Hire them.

Words cannot describe how AMAZING the food was for my wedding! We had a Sunday brunch theme for my wedding and Classic City came to DELIVER probably the best food I have had. When meeting for our consultation, they had a variety of options for their breakfast brunch menu, I was so excited to pick and choose and make our menu more unique and fitting to us. And if there was something that didn't catch my eye on the menu and I wanted to switch, I was given that option! They also had linens in a variety of colors if you choose to get linens from them, as well as the color or style of the containers to serve food in (for buffet style). They also provided dishes and champagne glasses! Would definitely have them cater again for anything!

Not only did Classic City provide amazing food, their presentation was gorgeous AND they set up our entire wedding - ceremony and reception- chairs and tables (ceremony and reception were at the same location).

If you're getting married in the Panhandle in FL, you must consider this company. They did such an amazing job on our wedding. My expectations were blown away. Great food, amazing set up, staff was very helpful and always there refilling drinks and gathering up food. I can't say enough about this company and Lauren. This should be the easiest vendor decision. Just say Yes.

I'm writing this review after 3 years because I now have a comparison having hosted another wedding in a different city for a younger daughter. The difference in service and attention to every detail is remarkable. David and his accommodating team do an amazing job from the food/presentation to making sure every aspect of the reception is sterling, even when conditions are challenging. As the floral designer told me in 2012 when she found that Classic City was handling the catering, "You don't have to worry about a single thing."

I'm from New York City, and our wedding was going to take place in Orange Beach. We were searching for an awesome caterer. My husband and I are foodies, so we had high hopes, on top of that my mom is a wedding planner, so we have worked with every caterer in the tri-state area. We found Classic City Catering, and kept our fingers crossed. We had no idea what to expect. At our tasting we were blown away. The food and presentation was New York Quality. It was mouth watering good. On top of that, they were easy to work with, wonderful communicators, and flexible. They were the hit of the wedding. Everyone was raving about the food. On top of that the service was top notch. We couldn't have been more happy. If you don't higher them, you are missing out. Thank you guys!

Classic City exceeded my expectations every step of the way. We booked them for a morning wedding and they served their Jazz Brunch buffet menu which was absolutely fantastic. They had beignets and coffee and gourmet teas waiting for my guests upon arrival as well as other munchies before the ceremony, and they began their service right now time. All of their staff was amazing, especially their bartender who kept leaving the bar to make sure I had water throughout the reception as I visited my guests. And the food! I couldn't have asked for better. All of my guests from the NE kept going back for seconds and thirds and all of them came away with a new addiction to grits :) I would absolutely recommend Classic City to anyone and everyone planning an event in north Florida. Great job guys!
