Our exquisite attention to detail, flawless execution and imaginative cuisine make every wedding experience as unique as the couples themselves. Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for making us part of your special day.

Melissa and Casey and the rest of the team at RSVP were wonderful to work with! We ended up needing a few tastings because my husband and I have certain dietary preferences and RSVP went above and beyond to accomodate those while also making us feel like we had options that were well thought through and delicious! We eat mostly plant based and while most caterers had made us feel like this was difficult and they could not accomodate this, RSVP offered us numerous options and the capability to modify anything we wanted. It was such a wonderful experience and the food turned out incredible! We also had a few signature drinks and Melissa gave us excellent feedback and helped us really understand what amount of alcohol and other items we should be providing so that their bartenders could give our guests the best experience possible. All of the drinks were absolutely delicious and excecuted perfectly! We had so many fun details like late night french fries with vegan aoili and espresso maritinis and our guests raved about this!! Casey started off as our point of contact and she was fabulous but had to step back for personal reasons and Melissa stepped up and did a fabulous job executing everything that Casey and I had discussed! It was a seemless transition and Casey and Melissa's professionalism is certainly to be admired on a team. I also want to mention the staff at RSVP, the waitstaff and bartenders were lead by a Lead Server that also was at our tasting and he executed our vision beautifully. He knew our dietary needs and ensured we had ample food options on our table at all times while making sure that we weren't given things we couldn't eat on accident. The staff were incredibly kind, hard working, and professional. I highly recommend RSVP for both their excellent teammembers and their delicious plant based and non-plant based food options!

The donut wall was a huge hit, bringing a fun and unique touch to the reception, while the late-night snack of sliders and milkshakes was the perfect way to keep the energy going.

The Classic Catering People 

4.3

  • Serves Washington, DC

A professional wedding caterer in Baltimore, Maryland, we operate under the belief that each couple’s highest expectation is our starting point. Dedicated to delivering couples and their guests a unique experience, we provide equal parts culinary expertise, attentive service and artful presentation. Backed by decades of experience, The Classic Catering People brings your wedding dreams to life!

Your guests will leave full and happy. The food is AMAZING. We had people coming up to us and our parents on wedding day asking who catered. We had a lot of vegan and gluten free guests and Classic made sure that they had just as many options as those without the restrictions. Our vegan friends who are used to just picking at salads at every wedding couldn't stop talking about how good everything was, and how they could actually eat it! We worked with Georgetta who helped us at every turn. She made everything perfect and did so much for us, from the time of our first tasting to the very end of the big day. She answered every question and every single email. She was always quick with it and always encouraged us to ask as many questions as we needed to, to feel confident in the process. She worked with our budget and made everything come out better than we could have ever imagined. Classic's wait staff and bartenders were also incredible. My husband requested specific gluten free beers because of an allergy and not only did they pull through with it, but they also poured him one for dinner before he even had to ask. They did the same for me with my favorite cocktail! We felt like A-list celebrities all night. The food is delicious and beautifully presented, and their attention to detail is unmatched. Go to your tastings and give honest feedback! They will make everything exactly how you want it.
