Many thanks to Classic City Catering for a stellar experience. We’re thankful for David and his team’s insight, recommendations and attention to detail as we planned our wedding reception menu. CCC exceeded our expectations with an incredible cocktail hour and dinner which included delectable oysters, hors d’oeuvres, beverages, dual entree’s and more. Our guests raved about the “culinary experience” which included the highest quality food, service and presentation—all tastefully implemented by a wonderful team. Classic City Catering, thank you for making our wedding reception so memorable

I cannot recommend Classic City enough! They are truly top notch. They just catered our wedding this past April and the food was absolutely amazing, their service was wonderful, and they were extremely helpful --they went above and beyond what you would think caterers would do. I highly recommend them for any event!

Didn't have the greatest email exchange. I sent a very in- depth email outlining our needs yet I received a standard "canned" email response asking me for all the information that was already in my email. After a second email to them I get their response that that date is totally booked. The date we needed was in the first email so why did we go thru this? And, who could imagine that a Monday in mid July was such a popular catering day? Additionally, "Office" seems like an odd name for the person responding. Not a good experience.

We used Classic City Catering for our wedding on Pensacola Beach and the guests raved about the food and they had such a beautiful display. Since the wedding was at a private home they added the extra value of putting up Pipe and Drape in areas we wanted to close off or not have in photos. Great company to work with and excellent menus and food to choose from!

We helped organize our daughter’s last minute wedding. The event was scheduled, cancelled, scheduled....2020 right? Anyhow CCC was AMAZING! They worked with us to ensure everything went perfectly. The food was amazing, the staff were very professional and friendly, the bartenders was personable, everything was just perfect! I cannot recommend CCC enough.

Classic City Catering was amazing for my wedding!! They were quick to respond to email, flexible with edits/changes to the menu (thank you Lauren Rowe!), and the food was AWESOME. I still get compliments for how good it tasted!
To my knowledge everything was there and on time, presentation of food, glassware, napkins/silverware was all perfect. They did a perfect job setting everything up, and our bartender was so nice! He made friends with many of the guests there, and had a drink ready for my dad right after the ceremony (lol, love it!). The servers were sweet too, and they cleaned everything

I attended a charity golf event for Save Underdogs yesterday, and for the second year in a row, enjoyed some of the fine and masterful cuisine prepared by Classic City Catering. I was involved in the preparations for the tournament, so I was able to witness the entire staff coming in, and preparing every detail from cooking the food, to the final table presentation. Each of them are impeccably dressed, and complete professionals. They definitely help set a standard by which all other events will be measured. Thank you David Penniman for your continued support and exquisite attention to detail.

David generously donated his food and services to my dog rescue fund raiser event. I had no idea what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing, hot and a variety better than I have had at wedding receptions. Our guests raved about the jambalaya. I am a really picky eater and allergic to almost everything, but the green beans, REAL mashed potatoes and pulled pork was fantastic. The presentation was beautiful. We are a non profit, aka, no budget and David's creativity and generosity left me speechless. My advice to all of you on the fence as to whether, or not you can afford

Classic City Catering is amazing. Not only is the food incredible, the presentation and service is top-notch. As a wedding planner myself, I have worked with with Classic City at over 50 events, and when I hired them to cater my wedding reception 2 months ago, they again did not disappoint! Everyone raved about the food and my experience as the client was fantastic. If you're looking for the best caterer on the Gulf Coast, call David and the Classic City team. Thanks, DP! - Megan and Steve Dickson
