We used Relish as our caterer for passed appetizers and food stations at our wedding. They were great! Amazing food, beautiful set up, punctual, and kind! Heidi was so awesome to work with! Such a delight.

We used Classic Catering for our wedding, and we were very happy with our choice. Any issue that we had Bethany made sure to help us out with. Not only did she help, but she did so gladly even when my wife and I were not being too pleasant to deal with. Not only were they great to deal with during the planning phase, but the food and staff were beyond what we were hoping for. The staff made sure we always had what we needed during our dinner without being too intrusive and the food was delicious. We had plenty of food leftover after the reception so of course we were eating leftovers for a few days. My wife and I agreed that, even reheated, the food tasted better than several restaurants we have been to.

Classic Catering comes highly recommended! We were, to be honest, a very big pain to deal with. I have 5 food allergies but wanted to enjoy everything on the buffet that day. We came in to have a tasting with Devin and Chef. He was able to prepare a custom menu that was not only delicious and fit all of our dietary needs, but still affordable. With all our special requests, it is very easy for food to be bland. It was all great! Our wedding guests were pleased with everything and we were blown away. Service was wonderful throughout the entire night and they even went above and beyond by asking if they can help with a few things that were outside of their duties at the end of the night. We felt like they were truly happy to be there and be a part of our wedding. I can't thank the Classic Catering team enough for their hard work and attention to our requests. Thanks!

All I can say is WOW! My husband and I absolutely loved Classic Catering! From there BEAUTIFUL buffet set up to the AWESOME food, everything was flawless. We had their Champagne Chicken and KC Sirloin, roasted potatoes, and sauteed broccoli. Everything was fresh (THEY HAND CARVED THE STEAK!), colorful, smelled great and tasted even better. Their staff was what you would expect at a 5-star restaurant. Everyone was constantly cleaning and making sure our guests were accommodated. We had our own cake, but Beth ordered mini cakes for our guests from 3 Women and an oven. They were amazing! I'm still eating them 4 days later. Couldn't have asked for a better team! Thanks Beth. Austin, Devyn, and Chef Rey!

I used Classic Catering for my October fall wedding and was very happy with everything. Bethany was my point of contact who was very helpful the entire process. I didn't feel pushed to do anything that myself and husband didn't want, she guided us through the process and made our entire meal custom for our pallets - thank you Bethany and Classic Catering.

Couldn't be more happy with our choice to use Classic Catering for our wedding this last month! We had the KC Strip carving station with a Chef on site and it was a nice touch to the already awesome buffet set up. They brought in some light decorations that matched our theme and were super attentive all day for our guests. The prices were very reasonable and I feel as though we got every pennies worth with their services. Devyn helped with details I wouldn't have even thought of to make sure everything went smooth day of. My fiance Brad is very hard to please and he raved about it all after we left the reception and had some time to breathe and talk about how we think everything went. Classic Catering couldn't be more highly recommended!!! Choose Classic Catering if you want to have a stress free, wonderful event at an affordable price!

What a pleasurable experience! Beth and her team could not have been more helpful! The food was AMAZING and the set up was beautiful! We had some last minute changes and I was amazed at how quickly the changes were accomadated. We also used the Bartending sevices and Spence was a master crafter behind that bar. All our guests raved about the food and service. 10/10 Highly recommend!

We enjoyed my experience working with Bethany and her team at Classic Catering. Being gluten free, Chef Rey customized our menu entirely so our entire buffet fulfilled my dietary needs. Compliments on the wedding food, service and presentation continue today when we go down memory lane. Thank you Classic Catering team.

Classic Catering / Hopps was wonderful to work with from the beginning. They were kind enough to let my, now husband, our family and myself taste test three different menu options. We changed our mind several times and each time they worked with us to make sure it was exactly what we wanted down to the rentals. I would recommend them to every bride for the brilliance of the chef and his wide range of expertise as well as for Beth. She was a god send and made me feel like a spoiled bride.

Beth and her team did a fabulous job with my daughter’s wedding! The staff was friendly and unobtrusive. The food was delicious! They moved seamlessly to make every detail perfect, from the plated salads, to the buffet dinner, to the pie cutting. I would recommend them to anyone. Top notch organization!!!

About halfway through our wedding planning, the owners of Classic Catering retired and the business came under management of the KC Hopps restaurant group. We were initially concerned (because unscheduled changes during wedding planning are terrifying) but Bethany and Spence put all our fears to rest. They executed our menu perfectly, their staff was great, and we received a number of compliments on the food.

Mary and Doug and all their staff are so easy to work with. Perceptive, good communicators, smart, they really know their stuff, give great advice, pay attention to every detail, and they make sensational food! The prep kitchen and techniques used are top notch. Even last minute and unexpected requests were met with a smile and they made it happen seamlessly, with style and authenticity.
The food presentation and tablescape were incredible. That alone literally transformed the room. The food was the best wedding food I have ever eaten in my life, and maybe the best food I have ever eaten ANYWHERE in my life! There were so many compliments from so many people.
The wait staff was impeccable, I felt like I was at a restaurant and my every need was attended to. I have never had such service at a wedding. Even our parish priest and the church staff were blown away. One of them said to me at least ten times that the catering was "over the top", and they have seen plenty of catering over the years!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting on such a fabulous meal, and making my daughter's dream wedding come true. Especially, I cannot thank you enough, Mary, that in spite of your own personal health issues, you were there, overlooking every detail. It meant so much to all of us!

I used Classic Catering for my wedding In August 2015 and I am so THANKFUL I did!! Mary and Doug were DELIGHTFUL to work with. I new they would be the moment I met them! They made my wedding planning and reception stress-free. They provided EXCELLENT service and delicious food. They served my husband and I at our table, provided a beautiful display of the food and took care of the cake cutting. They were excellent listeners and truly wanted everything to be perfect for my special day. Their staff was professional and pleasant. They communicated well with me as well as my vendors. My guests raved about the food. I have absolutely nothing negative say about my experience with Classic Catering. I would use them over and over again! YOU MUST CHECK THEM OUT! I promise you'll be happy you did!!!

I recommended Classic Catering to my best friend for her daughter's wedding reception. I have been at a party before that Classic has catered and was very impressed. Being in the restaurant/food business myself I am always summing up the service & food. Classic Catering goes that extra mile to provide exceptional service, the most delicious food & beautiful buffet. My friend was equally impressed from start to finish with the care, concern & service she received from the planning process of her daughter's wedding all the way to the final goodbyes at the reception. They were able to truly enjoy the night without having to worry about the food. And to top it all off, she was presented with a bridal basket for the bride & groom to take with them. What a nice touch! I would highly recommend this caterer to anyone who wants to make their wedding an extra special day.

I must say, there are alot of choices out there when it comes to catering but I will never have to worry about that ever again now that I have found Doug and Mary Partridge at Classic Catering. What a relief it was to have them. They think of everything and do it so professionally. The food was fabulous! So beautifully presented and everything was prepared fresh. We couldn't be happier and look forward to having them again in the future.

We used Classic Catering for our wedding reception. They provided our dinner, desserts, and a late night snack. Everything was so delicious! Many of my guests also commented on how wonderful the food was. The service was also fantastic - not only the night of, but throughout the planning process as well. Mary Partridge is such a joy to work with. She is very prompt in replying to any questions throughout the process and willing to accomodate any requets you have. I would definitely recommend Classic Catering!!!

My daughter chose Classic Catering for her wedding of 200 guests and we couldn't have been more pleased. Having great, not just good, food was a high priority for us and we were not disappointed! We selected the ginger turkey with orange marmalade sauce and the brisket, along with boursin mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables and salad. Every bit of it was delicious. Many of the guests commented that they were very impressed with the quality of the food, as well as the presentation. The staff is wonderful to work with and they are affordable. We would highly recommend that you consider using Classic Catering for your wedding.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a wedding where people were still talking about the food when they left, but that’s what happened at our wedding. Mary and Doug were absolutely amazing to work with and their food is delicious! I may be one of the few brides who actually ate at my wedding, but the food we had sampled was so good, I wasn’t about to miss it. In fact, the catering staff served my husband and I plates with a little bit of everything (including the hors devours we missed while taking pictures) at the head table while everyone went through the buffet so we were able to have some time together to eat and talk about the ceremony. Turns out that was about the only 10 minutes we spent alone all night, so it was really nice to have that time. We met with Mary and Doug twice before the wedding and both times Doug had an amazing array of food for us to try. It was so hard to pick! We were able to use their wonderful menu as a base, but at the same time add some personal touches. Doug did a fantastic fruit carving for our cocktail hour to go with the appetizers. We are big barbeque fans, so Doug made his famous beef brisket but we brought several barbeque sauces from St Louis and Kansas City to go with it. We also had always wanted an ice cream sundae bar and Mary and Doug made it happen! That was definitely a crowd favorite! Since they have been doing this for a long time, Mary and Doug also bring a lot of expertise about weddings in general that was hugely helpful. Things that I would never have thought of, Mary always made sure to ask, even if it had nothing to do with catering. Most importantly for my husband and I, Mary and Doug really took the time to get to know us and were almost like an extra set of parents by the time we got to the wedding. We were so happy they could be part of our big day and have stayed in touch since then. If you are able to get Classic Catering for your wedding, you have found some incredible food and some equally amazing people.

We used Classic Catering for our daughters wedding and I can honestly say, I couldn't have been more pleased. Mary and her staff are professional, easy to work with, and the attention to detail is remarkable. We asked Mary to create a giant Tuscan Charcuterie table for our cocktail hour, and it was absolutely amazing. She created a table that was not only visually stunning, but also had a wonderful variety of flavors. The dinner buffet was lovely and our menu choices all tasted delicious. Our guests are still talking about the food, and most importantly, the Bride and Groom were very pleased as well.
We also had Classic Catering flip the venue space from wedding to dinner reception, and they executed that beautifully.
I wish we had another daughter so we could do it all over again! I would certainly recommend them for any wedding or corporate event.
Five stars to Classic Catering!

My daughter and son-in-law chose Classic Catering to cater their September 2015 wedding. As I was not involved in the selection process, I was not sure what to expect. I met Mary and her staff a few hours before the reception began as I was tending to some last-minute details. I was immediately impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. Every member of the staff was friendly and performed beyond my expectations. I consider myself a "foodie" and am consistently underwhelmed by most dinners served at wedding receptions. The food prepared by Classic Catering was outstanding. The "bruschetta bar" was flavorful and beautifully presented with an assortment of seeded crackers and flatbreads. I found myself wishing I had eaten more later in the evening. Dinner was fantastic. There was a carving station with Kansas City Strip Steak and probably some of the best Smoked Turkey I have ever had. It was served with a Orange-Marmalade/Horseradish sauce that complimented it perfectly. The Roasted Vegetable Medley with Asparagus was cooked and seasoned perfectly, but my favorite item was the Roasted Fingerling Potatoes. They were cooked to perfection and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. The bartenders were great and set up the bar, including a Bloody Mary bar, exactly the way we had hoped with little direction. I would highly recommend Mary and her staff at Classic Catering to anyone planning an event in the Kansas City area.

Classic Catering was great to work with for our wedding. They brought us in for a tasting that helped us decide what foods we would like to have and make sure we liked how it tasted! They went above and beyond to help us with additional desires we had for our wedding beyond food, for example working with us to have a water station at our outdoor summer wedding.
We chose to do buffet style, however, Classic brought our food to me and my groom so that we didn't have to go through the line. They also had a waitor standing near us to bring us whatever we needed.
Classic was very professional, and we had many compliments on the food that we served. Everyone enjoyed it! Especially the brisket.

Classic Catering catered my daughters wedding and everything turned out just great. They were very professional,the food was very good and we received lots of compliments from our guests. After the ceremony we had passed appetizers and they sent some with the bridal party for them to have during the pictures at the park. The buffet was displayed beautifully and the personal service for the bride and groom was a nice touch. They also cut the cake for us and at the end packaged all the leftovers including the cake.

Classic catering provided exceptional service for our daughter’s recent wedding in June 2015. Mary and her staff were so organized and helpful not only in selecting the menu for the reception but also in planning the flow of events at the venue. The staff was very attentive to the bride and groom during the reception by ensuring their glasses were never empty and serving them food as soon as they arrived. Moreover, the feedback from our guests on the food was amazing. So many commented that the food was the best they ever had at a wedding. We couldn't have been more pleased!

I cannot say enough about how absolutely fabulous Classic Catering is in every way.
The food was amazing; we received many compliments from our guests. The buffet also looked wonderful; I just can't compliment them enough! They were also very accommodating to my daughter's dietary restrictions, and allowed an extra 'tasting' day, and even prepared a separate plate for her to enjoy.
Mary is an absolute pleasure to work with; the utmost professional and so sweet. Their experience shows with how easily they guided us through the planning process. We are very grateful to have used them for this special day - it couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you Mary & Doug!

Mary at Classic Catering made sure we were thrilled with the whole process from the very beginning...unlike other caterers we talked to, Classic Catering was warm, professional, and (most importantly) delicious! We had a variety of 6 hors d'oeuvres, an array of cheesecakes and chocolate-dipped strawberries for 195 guests. Everything went over great with our guests of all ages, especially the fingerling potatoes with fondue and desserts! I personally wouldn't recommend the macaroni, as it is a difficult item to have as an appetizer, but I heard nothing but race reviews and multiple guests wanted to know who catered. The display was beautiful, refreshed often, and extremely clean. The staff was professional, helpful, and friendly without being obtrusive. The most important thing was that my husband, myself, nor a single person attending had to give a single thought to the food or service. Amazing. A final note: every time we entered Classic Catering, whether for our consultation or just to pin down particulars, there was a beautiful light spread of snacks waiting for us...pretty sure the husband wants to go back just to visit-ha! Highly recommended as a company that begins to feel like family.

Mary and Doug were AMAZING to work with. They were very involved, provided great information and support, and were easy to work with. From our first meeting with Mary, we knew we were in good hands. The guests at our reception were blown away with the professionalism of the staff and ofcourse devoured the delicious food. I was so grateful that Mary thought of so many little details. She really allowed us to relax and just enjoy the day. I would, without a doubt, recommend Classic Catering to other brides. They were wonderful to work with.

The food is the best part! All of our guest told us the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding. If you want a caterer that you never have to worry about this is your company! We had no issues with anything! Even when our guest count went down at the end we had no problem getting the refund for over paying, we had it in 2 days! I will hire them again in the future if I ever need a caterer again!!

What a great experience my husband and I had with Classic Catering! They catered our wedding this past August and did a phenomenal job! Their service was out of this world and the food was spectacular! We had a fairly large wedding and decided to have our food buffet style. It was put together very elegantly and we received tons of compliments from the guests of our wedding on how great the food was! They also provided the bartending services for our wedding and customized our beer, wine and liquor selections to best suit our needs and likes! The bar was run very well and the drinks were great! I honestly am so grateful to Mary and the whole classic catering staff and am so blessed to have had them cater and bartend at our wedding! Thank you all so much!
Lots of Love!

I can't say enough great things about Classic Catering! Of all the vendors I worked with, they were the most professional, and the most prompt at returning emails and phone calls. Mary is an added bonus! She is very experienced with catering weddings, and she's very detailed and really helps with the planning process. I did not have a wedding coordinator, so it was kind of hectic on my mom and me, but having her was definitely an asset. The food was delicious! Our guests really seemed to enjoy the fingerling potatoes with the cheese fondue, and the Asian style chicken satays. I highly recommend attending one of their tasting parties and I would definitely hire them again!

Classic Catering provided the food for our cocktail hour and our wedding receptions and it was DELICIOUS! We received compliments from several guests on the tri-tip beef and the orange ginger turkey. They were awesome, as was the rest of the meal. The food presentation was equally as impressive.
Mary was wonderful to work with as well. My now husband and I live in Texas, and would often have appointments with several vendors when we made trips back to Kansas City. She would always fit us into her schedule whenever we needed to meet with her!
I highly recommend Classic Catering, not only because their food is delicious, but also for the top-notch customer service!

Classic Catering catered my recent June 2013 wedding. I currently live in Virginia and the wedding was held in Kansas City. Mary and her team made planning from across the country extremely easy. They were flexible, kind, and gave great advice when we asked for their opinions along the way. They worksheet Mary put together was also very helpful in working out all of the details for the day as well as working with other vendors.
The food was incredible! My husband and I are both foodies and were extremely concerned with this element of the wedding. Classic Catering surpassed all of our expectations even after my initial tasting and our guests are still talking about the Champagne Chicken weeks later.
They were the best vendor we worked with on our wedding and I give them my highest recommendation for yours!

Mary Partridge is an absolute joy to work with and made everything very easy (and beautiful for our wedding buffet)! The Thai fruit carvings are amazing and totally unique to this company. We chose a 6 piece hors d'oeuvre buffet to save money, but we still went way over budget because of additional fees for customizing the hors d'oeuvre package, 19% service charge (that is not gratuity), and cost for rentals. We are so glad we went with them, and it was all worth it, but brides just need to be aware of the many additional fees associated with Classic (as well as many other catering companies).

We met Mary at a bridal fair over the summer. They invited us to a tasting, and we signed a contract right then and there! They were so easy and fun to work with, and they not only produced amazing food stations for our reception, but they helped keep us organized too-which was a relief! They were super helpful and everyone is still talking about the food! We would absolutely use Classic Catering again, and will recommend them to all of our friends and family! Thanks Mary and Doug for making our wedding memorable!

I chose to do food stations for my wedding and began collecting quotes for pad thai and thai pizza, south african bread salad with chicken picatta skewers, and swedish meatballs with twice-baked new potatoes. Hands down the most professional and delicious tasting was with classic catering and they also gave me the best quote. They allowed me to have a pre-ceremony cocktail as one of my free drinks and even came with me to rental meetings and helped me with light, linen, tent, seating, and generator rentals. They make everything seem doable (which is why they agreed to have my wedding in the forrest with only romantic light and very little power for them. People raved about the food. Everything was well displayed, they work alot to have their displays be off the brides mind, but perfectly in line with her decor. They checked in multiple times and gave me a heads up on anything that might surprise me cost-wise. Other comments from the guests beyond the food being delicious was the fact that everyone was excited about talking to the servers and the bartender was such a nice guy. Seen as how the forrest was cold on the day of my wedding, It was so nice to know that even the service who was working hard were having a great time with people. Classic catering has such an incredible team, such a relaxing and capable presence. Loved working with them, would choose them again in a heartbeat. They offered to return the alcohol that wasn't used at the wedding and gave us TONS of leftovers.

Classic Catering is so fantastic that I spelled Caterer wrong on a different review! I adore the owners, the Partridges, who I now hug like family. If they weren't already at my reception, I would have invited them! When I had a family emergency during my wedding planning, I turned to Mary. Not only did she suggest our reception venue (she actually suggested several) she was an amazing help with the menu for our hors d'oeuvres. I am pretty laid back but they went out of their way to get to know me and make everything perfect! They were fantastic at suggesting the best combination of foods to create a cohesive blend of flavors and presentation. The food looked amazing, tasted great, and was made with care that I don't think any other caterer could give. I was so blessed to have found them on the knot. They made my festive fall wedding far beyond fantastic! Go to a tasting and you will know Classic Catering is the best. (The thai fruit carvings are pretty sweet, too!)

When looking for a caterer, we had the opportunity to go to an open tasting for Classic Catering. This gave us an opportunity to meet the staff, taste various foods, and ask questions. Once we booked the company, we met with the owner, Mary, to develop our menu for the reception. We were able to make the menu exactly what we wanted. Mary asked questions regarding the wedding, reception, and our own food likes/dislikes to make it as personal and tied to our wedding as possible. Mary was extremely friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable with the process. She was encouraging during the stressful last few weeks and we had no doubt everything would be under control. We received an updated proposal anytime we made changes and our questions were promptly answered. We received many compliments on the presentation, food, and professional staff. Classic Catering was by far one of the most reasonable on prices...many others were way out of our price range! We would definitely recommend this company and you will be in good hands.

Mary is amazing!!!! I personally wasn't a fan of her assistant but I just dealt only with Mary and had no problems! I can't put words to how thankful we are for finding Mary (the owner)! The food was so fabulous and people are still talking about it! I would probably hire additional bartenders if I did it all over, they contract with a company that I wasn't impressed with. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Classic Catering and will use them in the future.

When we were planning our wedding, we wanted to make sure that we had a great meal for our guests. My father had worked with Classic Catering before and so we decided to meet with them for a tasting. We were blown away by the food and decided to go with them for our wedding. We felt like this was one of the best decisions we made when planning our reception. We had a buffet style meal, and everything was DELICIOUS. Everything was set up exactly like they said it would, and it looked amazing. Classic Catering is known for their amazing fruit carvings which added another special touch to the dinner display. They also took charge and helped organize the entire evening. They gave my husband and I a specific waiter to only attend to us and our parents. He made sure we had enough to eat, drink, and knew what was going on during the evening. He even helped us organize the cake cutting so we looked like we knew what we were doing! Working with Mary and Doug was amazing. I can't say how wonderful they made our event. I really felt like they played a large roll in the perfect success of our reception. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an organized, tasty, helpful catering company!!

Classic Catering did an outstanding job. Everything was absolutely perfect. Mary was wonderful and went beyond the call of duty. The food, tables and displays was everthing we asked and then some. She took care of setting the tables, setting the cake table and cutting the cake. Classic catering also did coffee service. The service was wonderful. If you use Classic Catering, you will not have to worry about a single thing. Mary provides every single detail in their contract so you know exactly what you are being charged for and what service she will provide. She was always availble by phone and e-mail. I personally recommed using Classic Catering. You will be glad you did.

I can honestly say Classic Catering made my ENTIRE wedding stress free!! Mary is an amazing woman who takes on so much more than just preparing a meal. If you are looking for a caterer who listens to exactly what you want and who will take the time to go above and beyond, then Classic Catering is the answer! And the food is amazing which is an added bonus! :)

I was lucky enough to not only be the maid of honor in my friends' wedding but also to meet Mary and Doug Partridge from Classic Catering. I was impressed the moment I walked in to taste some amazing food for the brides' first appointment. They made the wedding reception very unique with their buffet decorations and everyone loved the food. Although everything tasted great, my favorite items were the Mushroom Ravioli and 5 Layer Cheese Torte. I've been to lots of weddings but have never enjoyed the food and service this much. I highly recommend Classic Catering!
