CLASSIC CATERING

Classic Catering is now celebrating "20 Years of Great Taste!" Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, elegant fundraiser or evening of entertainment within your home – remember, there is only one true Classic Catering. We urge you to accept no substitutes. What makes our catering “classic”? We treat every catering opportunity as if it were our very own special event. Because we thrive on challenges, we constantly push ourselves to make the client experience unforgettable. Simply stated: “What can we do to make this event even more memorable?” Oftentimes this challenge involves creating a cutting edge dish, be it ethnic, vegan or something in between. We collaborate to compliment the theme and needs that best suit the occasion. Other times this means recommending choices that will make the most of a tighter than usual catering budget. Regardless, we use the best possible fresh foods and ingredients – often including our own sauces, handmade desserts and even exotic Thai fruit sculptures. As for on-site presentation, our customers often find our specially designed “table-scapes” are just as much visual art as they are practical food presentation. All in all, we think you’ll find we’re definitely not your “run of the mill” catering company. We take pride in surprising and delighting our customers. In fact, several clients have shared with us that, “you all think of everything.” We certainly do our best to please everyone. Just know that when you engage Classic Catering for your special event, you’re partnering with a group of catering perfectionists that may even care about your culinary experience even more than you do! When you work with Classic Catering, you’re working with a team of true and dedicated professionals. Our Chef, Lispeth Springer, is a veteran of some of the area’s finest food destinations - including The Capital Grille, Joe D’s and Powell Gardens. In addition, our managing partners, Doug and Mary Partridge, have just the right blend of creative vision and practical catering management skills. Both partners love the creative aspect of the business – but are also dedicated to managing the little details that make ordinary events extraordinary and memorable personal events. At Classic Catering we use our four-part “Quality Control and Verification” system that ensures each event detail passes a minimum of four reviews before departing for on-site set-up. And, rest assured, Mary or Doug will be present at your special event to make sure each detail is handled just right. As they say, “proper preparation leads to perfect presentations” – at Classic Catering we couldn’t agree more! Our ultimate catering goal for our clients: “Peace of Mind.” We take away the worry so they can really enjoy their event! Our team members include our full-time Chef, Lispeth Springer, complimented by our highly trained food preparation staff. And the owners, Mary and Doug Partridge, manage each catered event as if it were an event for their own family. Some people say we’re picky and that we “sweat” the details. We just call it taking pride in our products and services. Weddings – Whether an intimate affair for a few family members and friends or a large scale event for a party of hundreds, Classic Catering is ready to assist. And, since quality and client satisfaction are the hallmark of our business, we accept no more than two events on any given weekend - so please, call early to check and reserve your date. Corporate Catering – At Classic Catering we regularly cater both large and small events for some of Kansas City’s top businesses. From a more intimate breakfast or lunch meeting, to a large and/or elegant evening event; if you’re in search of a catering ensemble that handles all of the details (and leaves your attendees delighted), look no further than Classic Catering! Private Parties – No one knows home entertaining better than Classic Catering. We’ll work with you to design a menu and table-scape that will cause your guests to talk about your event for years to come. From holiday events and bar mitzvahs, to charitable events and fundraisers, Classic Catering is ready to help. Bar Services – Classic Catering is licensed to handle all bar services for special events in Kansas. And, we can make alternate arrangements for your Missouri event as well.
