What we do brings people together. So it's hard when we need to slow our pace to support everyone's health and safety. Postponed meetings, events, and community gatherings are on the horizon for many of us along with a more virtual approach wherever it's prudent. It's important to remember what brings us together and all of us look forward to connecting in ways that mean the most to us. Something Classic and the Mother Earth Group have always been guided by our core values of nurturing one another, our community, and the earth.

First, quality of service: We got married at the end of May 2022, which was right in the heart of the post-COVID wedding surge. Despite how popular of a time it was to hire a caterer, Alyssa made us feel like we had nothing short of her full attention. I'm talking the kind of attention where we consistently got replies to our emails within the hour.
She was very professional to work and interact with from the very beginning. The menu we originally suggested underwent numerous revisions and requests for her input and she guided us to what turned out to be an amazing dinner for us and our guests. Additionally, every SC associate (Alyssa included) who worked the stations at our wedding was very polite and friendly to chat with as we ate.
One thing I especially appreciated was that we were able to give updates on our guest count and even changes to our menu up until very close to the wedding - the flexibility SC provided was something I didn't expect when some of our other vendors required final planning months in advance. The food: In short, amazing. Even better the day of the wedding than at the tasting.
Every item on our menu was reported to be at least one of our guests favorite. Everything was exactly as we expected it to be and the options offered by SC really let us customize the feel of our wedding to be exactly what we were looking for. Even the fun, cultural items (e.g. two varieties of gourmet grilled cheese and the shrimp and grits) that I would say are hard to pull off just because everyone has a favorite version of it became everyone's new favorite.
Not only that, but we even got to take some food home the next day because there was PLENTY of offered - running out of food for our guests was never in the cards. Our verdict is that we are happy we chose SC to cater our wedding and would highly recommend them for yours as well.

We never ended up using Something Classic for their catering service but I can speak to their customer service. It's absolutely awful. We had to cancel an engagement party due to my grandfather dying of cancer. Jill, the owner, would not budge and help us out to refund our deposit even though it was 7 months prior to the date we would have needed them. They didn't have a formal headcount or a formal menu. I've never experienced worst customer service than with Jill.

Something Classic is a treasure. The food is always superb, as is the service. We've used them for catering all kinds of events (weddings, bridal and baby showers, funerals, holiday parties, etc) and have never been disappointed. We were sad to not be able to have them for a large party this year (thanks Covid) but thoroughly enjoyed the special holiday meal they delivered to our door. Super easy to prepare and delicious.

We used this company for both our florist and caterer for our wedding. They were very late and had the wrong time down for when our wedding started. I didn't have the bouquets in time to get pictures with my bridesmaids. And when we did get them I literally picked it up and flower petals fell off from them. The food was okay. We had a few vegan plates and my mom told the caterers which person needed it and they didn't bring it over to them.
She had to do it herself. The head person there barely apologized for being late. We expected MUCH better service especially when paying a vendor thousands of dollars. Definitely do not recommend using them.

Something Classic catered my cocktail hour and reception at the Mint Museum Uptown. They were wonderful! They have a very diverse menu of options and when I visited for my tasting, they really treated us like queens! The tasting was in a beautiful little room where the table was decorated like an actual table at a wedding and they brought in the food, took notes, and were open to making some changes to the ingredients as well to accommodate us!
Our guests raved about the food at the cocktail hour and reception all night and also how friendly all of the staff was - shout out to Chuck, our bartender : Alyssa was my main contact at SC and she was super helpful, thoughtful, and really great at giving us ideas and answering questions. I loved working with Something Classic and would highly recommend them!

Wonderful, yummy food! I used Something Classic Catering 2 days in a row to cater for a job site with 24 people. In addition to the great food, I especially liked that they are an environmentally conscious company (Green Goddess Alliance)! All of their catering items are recyclable, reusable or biodegradable, and the food comes from responsible sources!. Very refreshing. We need more companies with this mindset. Also, the staff I dealt with were just wonderful and ever so helpful. Thank you!

Something Classic was phenomenal! The service and food was excellent! We had a consultation that was very professional and they provided us with samples of their dishes, Catherine who I spoke with multiple times was their every step of the way to help guide me to choices that fit me and my husbands tastes buds and those of our expected guests. She was very quick to reply to any questions or concerns I had.
On the day of they brought the food, set up and looked very professional and were exceptional at servicing us and our guest. The food was very good, fresh and my guests raved over it especially our mac and cheese pops and the ham biscuits. Thank you Something Classic for all the work and efforts you did to help make our wedding wonderful!
