KIND WORDS

What couples say

 

“Something Classic did an amazing job with our 70-guest wedding. The food was fantastic and the service was even better!”

ANABELLE P. · THE KNOT

 

 

“Incredibly professional and dependable all the way through our wedding process. They even supplied bar service at the last minute when our other vendor fell through, and provided a separate vegan meal for one guest and a custom boxed meal for a guest with severe food allergies.”

JO H. · THE KNOT

 

 

“The attention to detail was beyond. All of the staff that day were so helpful and attentive. One server was so attentive that my daughter said she felt like she had her own personal server. My 91-year-old mother was there, and that same server waited in line with her, held her plate, served her food and made sure she got safely back to her seat. It nearly brought me to tears.”

RUTH, MOTHER OF THE BRIDE · THE MOREHEAD INN

Trays and snacks wedding catering in Charlotte, NC by Something Classic

A classic start to any wedding is that lovely tray of charcuterie and cheeses with fresh berries and honey. These noshing trays are fresh, colorful, savory and studded with little sprouts from our garden. We've added a few unique signature trays including a Tuscan tuna tartar, Moroccan Mezze Board (vegetarian option) and Santorini Spreads with your favorite Mediterranean selections.

 

Our catering services can be customized to complement any wedding style, from Southern-inspired receptions to modern celebrations.

Butlered hors d'oeuvres wedding catering in Charlotte, NC by Something Classic

Butler passed appetizers are the perfect start to every wedding. While guests are waiting for your picture time, they are a little hungry. These morsels can hold over your wedding guests.

 

Our hors d'oeuvres catering for weddings in Charlotte NC includes elegant passed bites, seasonal favorites, and customizable selections designed to impress guests from the first course.

 

We even have a few offerings for your late night party snacks. Don't forget to add a few vegetarian wedding catering options, vegan dishes, and gluten-free selections so that all of your guests will feel included.

Buffet dinner wedding catering in Charlotte, NC by Something Classic

Hosting a Buffet Dinner for your reception is the most popular option for our couples. This is usually the most cost effective way to entertain your friends and family, but it is also the most versatile style of entertaining.

 

We suggest you start with butlered hors d'oeuvres and a few trays for your cocktail hour. You can offer guests several options for dinner that are your favorites as well as satisfying the various dietary needs of the day.

 

Our wedding caterers can help you create a balanced menu featuring crowd-pleasing favorites, chef-inspired specialties, and absolutely delicious seasonal selections.

Seated dinner wedding catering in Charlotte, NC by Something Classic

A seated dinner for your wedding reception offers elegance and intimacy on this special day. You can create amazing tablescapes with luxurious linens, festive chairs, and unique floral centerpieces as well as offering your guests beautiful plates of food that fit their individual preferences.

 

Let us help you create a story for all to tell about your wedding day.

 

Seated dinners require more servers, kitchen staff as well as China, stemware and flatware for each individual place setting, so expect to prepare your budget for a grand experience. This style requires a little more coordination with your guests to choose their entree and share any dietary restrictions.

Stations wedding catering in Charlotte, NC by Something Classic

We are big fans of food stations for a fun wedding reception where the rules are chill, guests can mingle, grab a drink and head to the dance floor in between exploring a variety of culinary options. Gone are the days of pasta stations and a simple carving board; we've gotten a little more creative. A station reception can start with butlered hors d'oeuvres with a few grazing trays. Tailored to reflect the couple's romantic story, honeymoon plans, or family heritage - each station adds a personal touch to the experience. Guests can sample different dishes and choose to sit at unassigned tables or casual setups, making the event feel more relaxed and inviting. We suggest 2-4 stations.

Brunch wedding catering in Charlotte, NC by Something Classic

Let Something Classic put the final touches on your brunch celebration. Whether this is a bridal shower, bridesmaids' luncheon, pre-wedding or an after wedding brunch for guests, we are ready with the finger sandwiches and quiches. Of course, we offer a few more brunch additions of cocktails, mimosas and flavored teas. You can add a server, pick up a few items or have us drop everything off and provide the setup while you are getting ready for your guests.

 

From casual brunches to formal receptions, our event catering team delivers exceptional service, delicious food, and personalized menus that help make your wedding day truly unforgettable.
