Private Parties
From our kitchen to your kitchen

Something Classic has a long tradition of private home entertaining. Our catering story started from our first Gourmet Shoppe in Myers Park in 1989 and we have some of those same clients & friends still today. Gracious entertaining begins with the details. We want to know the specifics of your party: Who are your special guests? What vibe and mood you want to set? How we can curate a menu and decorations that fit your entertaining style? Lots of creativity and friendships start here!
Although we believe that service is an important element of entertaining, we understand that picking up lovely trays or finger sandwiches from our kitchen may be all that is needed for your special gathering or shower. You may also opt for a simple delivery to your home or have us set everything up and then disappear seamlessly. If you want to truly enjoy your party though, our team of servers and bartender are available to pamper you and your guests and then clean up all the mess and take it with them. It's enough to sometimes to clean your house, get everything just so and then socialize with all of your guests. We encourage you to treat yourself.

From baby to wedding showers and quiches to finger sandwiches, Something Classic offers classic brunch selections that are sure to please. You can pick many of these up ready to serve or have a server bring it all to your home, set it up and clean up the mess at the end. Don't forget our signature mimosas and bloody marys along with refreshing mint iced tea.

Entertaining can be a breeze with our beautifully presented trays. These are a perfect complement to butlered hors d'oeuvres followed by dinner, or these can be served on your dining room table or center island for the perfect grazing dropin or cocktail party.
Something Classic's snack boxes are an easy pickup for guests in an outdoor setting or for guests on the go. These cute little boxes are almost too pretty to eat.

A few butler-passed hors d'oeuvres are the perfect starter to any great party. Guests grab a drink and socialize a bit as all the guests arrive. Each tray is artfully adorned with fresh herbs and flowers from our garden. These morsels are great conversation starters. We recommend 3-4 pieces per guest per hour with a selection of 2-4 different selections. Don't forget to include a vegetarian or vegan option for your special guests.

Whether you are hosting a small gathering or a house-full of guests, serving dinner buffet-style is a casually gracious way to entertain. First and foremost, you can create a beautiful buffet with a pretty linen, flowers and various levels of bountiful, seasonal dishes. By offering a few selections of entrees and fresh garden sides, you can please a wide variety of palates. Buffets are also great for themed dinner parties which you can dress up with festive props, china plates and linen napkins.
Let's plan an unforgettable seated dinner together where celebration meets culinary experience. Our beautifully designed tablescapes set the perfect backdrop for an evening filled with joy and connection. Each guest will be treated with care, accommodating specific dietary requests to ensure everyone feels considered. Relax and let our staff pamper you, allowing you to fully immerse yourself and your guests in the festive atmosphere of the evening.
We invite you to explore our casual BBQ menu, where we celebrate the traditions of the Carolinas while adding international and seasonal flavors. Whether you're hosting an important socail gathering with china and linens or looking for a more casual vibe with our BBQ buffets, taco bar, and themed salad options, we have delicious options to meet every need, including vegetarian and vegan choices. Service and dropoff/pickup options are available.

Chat with your Something Classic Event Stylist about the options for your bar. We offer packages starting with simple wine and mixers to specialty cocktails, local beers and morning mimosa and bloody mary bars. Our bartenders are friendly, stemware is special and setup is a breeze. Want to provide your own bar? We can bring the ice and tubs and provide the glassware and bartenders, too.
Our sweets at Something Classic are nothing short of amazing. Pastry Chef Meg Goldman and her team have curated a scratch menu over the years that are true classics. From our simple cookies to lemon raspberry bars and peanut butter brownies, our dessert menu is tried and true. Our plated desserts and raspberry cobbler with house chocolate chip ice cream are not to be missed. If we didn't tell you that several of our classics are gluten-free, you would never know.
Sometimes a boxed sandwich or salad is the perfect item to serve at your book club, tennis gathering or sporting event. Each box tells a story and contains our house made salads, sides and famous cookies and bars. Guests can choose their selection ahead of time and pick up their box when they arrive or take it with them on the go. Yes, we delivery and offer some unique teas and lemonades as well.

Good gracious, stations have evolved over the years from a simple pasta or carving station. Look no further as our culinary team has sharpened their creativity and come up with some unique station offerings that will keep your guests talking: Bacon Bar, Risotto Station, Noodle Bar, S'mores Station, Heirloom Tomato Bar, Cowboy Skirt Steak and our new favorite for summer, the Tiki Bar. Ready to give your next party a little fun flair?
We love to entertain during the holidays and have put together some traditional favorites as well as a few items to stretch your culinary senses.

Giving a culinary gift from Something Classic is the perfect way to say thank you for being a good neighbor, we are thinking about you and let's get together soon. Who wouldn't enjoy a specially wrapped pumpkin bread that smells of fresh cinnamon and cranberries or our dark chocolate cookies with peppermint sprinkles?
