Classic Culinaire

Classic Culinaire is a Dream to work with, Rachael and Chad are the best!! We found them through the vendor list of our venue and we were blown away by their kindness, accommodation, and attention to detail. We had 70 guests for our May wedding with several gluten free and vegan needs, and they were so happy to accommodate and make the whole planning process so easy. Everything went seamlessly, and on top of it their food is absolutely incredible! We had so many guests comment on how amazing the food was, and some of our guests are even in the restaurant industry so that was a very big compliment. We will absolutely be recommending them to all of our friends and family!

I can't rave enough about Classic Culinaire, Chef Chad, and Rachael. The salad presentation was to die for. The halibut, which we actually didn't taste during our tasting (we tasted the salmon and took a chance on the halibut) was TO DIE FOR. My guests are still raving about the food. Chef Chad put together a caviar platter on each table that was just amazing. Additionally, I had vegan guests, gluten free guests, and kosher guests. With each dietary restriction Chef Chad took it in stride and executed brilliantly (and so tasty). All my guests could eat at my wedding feeling comfortable with their own personal restrictions. Rachael was so lovely to work with, and worked with our coordinator to execute day of beautifully. Everything was seamless to my eyes. The Classic Culinaire team cannot be beat. At the end when there were some missing rental items, Rachael at Classic Culinaire stepped up to solve the issue with me, and everything ended on such a good note. I encourage you to contact Classic Culinaire. From initial tasting to day of event, this was an amazing experience.

The most important thing for us at our wedding was to make sure we had GOOD FOOD! Actual good food, not just "wedding-level" good (if you know, you know). From the moment we met Rachael and Chef Chad, we had a great feeling about working with them. And frankly, we were blown away by our entire experience. If you are booking a caterer for a wedding, or any event, we could not recommend Classic Culinaire more highly. It is the RIGHT decision. We knew the food was super good, and it was a bigger testament when our guests came up to us for weeks after the wedding commenting on how good the food was. We had guests going up for seconds and thirds! We had several guests ask us to ask the chef what the recipe was for certain dishes at dinner! To rewind, we went in for our tasting, Rachael graciously explained the process to us. Chef Chad came out at the end of our dishes, and asked for feedback on each dish. More seasoning? Less garlic? More lemon? What Chef does that?! Most chefs we've interacted with have their way of preparing each dish, because they're professional and do their dishes for a living. Chef Chad had enough confidence in how good his dishes tasted, and he really cared to make the food taste exactly to our liking. We even wanted to do a Philly Cheesesteak as a late night meal at our wedding, and he created one even though it was not on his normal menu. It was delicious. Rachael is such a pleasure to work with. She is beyond helpful at every juncture in the planning process and even helped with our many questions around staffing, rentals, table arrangements and beyond. She was a source of peace and a calming presence during the whole planning process and especially on the day of the wedding. All this to say, I could not recommend this team of all-stars enough!

We hired Classic Culinaire for our 90 person wedding, and they did a phenomenal job! We discovered Classic Culinaire through our wedding venue’s list of approved caterers, and were quickly impressed by their responsiveness, extensive menu, price point, and flexible services. We wanted to put together a primarily vegetarian menu, with vegan and gluten-free options to accommodate some of our guests’ dietary restrictions, and Chef Chad happily adjusted the menu for us (e.g. substituting gluten free pasta, serving some plated salads without cheese, providing dietary signs for all sides and entrées). All of our communications with Rachael were smooth, from putting together a quote, scheduling a tasting (delicious!), and finalizing details with us leading up to the wedding. Our reception was seamless, and we received so many compliments from our guests about the food, especially the beautiful salad, the incredible mushroom risotto cakes, and the moist salmon. Rachael’s staff kindly prepared specialty drinks, appetizer plates, and entrées for my partner and I so we could spend more of our cocktail hour and reception socializing with our guests. And at the end of the evening, Rachael’s staff boxed up the few remaining leftovers for us as a special treat for the next couple days. We loved working with Classic Culinaire, and happily recommend the whole team for your catering needs!
