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
