All I have to say is, WOW. Wow, wow, wow. Choosing Sage for our wedding was not only one of the easiest decisions but one of the best decisions we could have made!! From the second of our initial inquiry all the way through the big day itself, Sage was right on top of it and so fun to work with. Their attention to detail and great service is unmatched. The staff day of was so friendly to us and our guests and everything went so perfectly!
I have to give a massive shoutout to Cortney, who was the absolute best person to communicate with throughout the entire process. Cortney is quick, efficient, personable, professional, kind, and the best person to help you with all of your details and decisions. We also had the privilege of working with Dana day of and she was a rockstar just like Cortney - she was so attentive to us, our guests, and each detail of our food/drinks that she executed throughout the event!
THE FOOD. I cannot say enough about the food!! We had so much fun personalizing our menu from cocktail hour all the way through to a late night snack and Sage was more than happy to help us accomplish our dreams. Our guests could not stop raving about how amazing the food was and how quick the service was, too! We had people even asking for boxes at one point to not leave a single item behind. Easily some of the most delicious food I have ever had in my life. We had passed hors d'oeuvres, a french fry bar and a charcuterie station during cocktail hour, a beautiful plated dinner, and then late night snack of cheesesteaks + italian hoagies! Everything was beautifully displayed, perfect temperatures, nice and quick, and just phenomenally delicious. I will think about this food forever.
A nice perk that Sage has is the ability to have a tasting prior to officially booking - that experience alone helped our decision be a no brainer when booking them. The tasting was so fun and already so personalized to us and you could just tell from the jump how much they care about you and want to help with making your day so special and exactly what you envision it to be.
Overall, please use Sage. They are the best and for good reason - and I could not possibly recommend them enough for your wedding. We are so eternally grateful for their attentiveness and service for ours- something we will cherish forever.

My husband and I got married at Appleford Estate on September 1, 2024, catered by Sage and with Susie as our planner. Sage was our first tasting and we were blown away-making it an easy decision in choosing them! They had so many delicious cocktail hour, entree and dessert options to choose from with plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options as well. Susie was incredible throughout the whole process! She was responsive to emails and insightful in regard to all of the details of the day. The excellence of the food at the tasting was what every one of our guests experienced on our wedding day. As we continue to see friends and family post-wedding, everyone says it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding. One of the groomsmen even said it was the best meal he had all year! We are so happy that we chose Sage as our caterer. Food/bar service can really make or break a special event and the entire catering staff went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. Thank you for everything Sage!

Picking Sage for our Bok wedding was one of our best decisions! The food was incredible, and all of our guests were raving about it (and still talk about it 2 months later!), but even more incredible was our experience working with Cortney Epstein. Cortney walked us through every detail of planning, helped us create a personalized family-style menu, and guided us through picking linens and rentals. She answered our many, many emails within minutes, and was a calm and knowledgeable presence throughout our planning process. On our wedding day, Cortney was on top of every little detail and made sure we got enough to eat and drink, including putting aside ice cream sandwiches for us and making sure we got them as we were running to catch our wedding shuttle! Sage knows the ins and outs of the Bok building in particular, but we can't recommend them enough for any venue, anywhere!

I don’t even know where to begin! When we sat down with Cortney for our tasting last year we fell in love with the food and our coordinator. The experience was stress free and each item was better than the next. When we booked Sage, Cortney was instrumental in our planning and made it incredibly easy. The wedding day: flawless. I can’t count how many times guests (of all ages) complimented the hors d’oeuvres and how many times the staff came around to offer such a variety; how big the entrée portions were and how tasty their food was; how personable and efficient the bartending and catering staff were. Cortney checked on us several times during the reception to make sure we were satisfied. All in all, the service and food were the absolute best choice we could have made for our wedding, and we would book them all over again!

We can't say enough amazing things about this caterer - and our coordinator Susie - for our wedding day. From the beginning they were incredibly organized, kind, creative, and so fun to work with! Susie helped us to pick out everything from all aspects of our menu, to the chairs, linens, utensils, bar menu, etc. It made choosing a venue that was not 'all inclusive' in this way so much less overwhelming to have Sage as our main POC with planning the bulk of things. I never felt like I wasn't in good hands.
And let me tell you - THE FOOD. The compliments we got on our wedding day never ended. And we weren't at all surprised, even our tasting prior to the wedding knocked our socks off.
If I had to do it again, this would be the top MUST vendor on my list to make wedding planning easy, and execution flawless. Even outside of a wedding, I know Sage would be capable of handling any event beautifully.
Thank you AND SUSIE so so so much! (there's a photo in there of me hugging Susie on the morning of, obviously, for all her hard work!!)

!!!!!!!! 10/10 Sage Catering is incredible.
From the beginning of planning we prioritized wanting good food & a fun menu. We worked directly with Susie, who was absolutely amazing. Our email chain probably has over 100 emails, and she was patient and responsive for each little detail. I'd send an email at midnight asking, "do you have a slushee machine?" and by the next morning she'd respond to me with options. Anything we could have imagined Susie was able to deliver. She was is the sweetest, most hardworking woman who we were so lucky to be paired with.
The staff & servers were so professional and wonderful during our ceremony. Our guests were absolutely raving about the food & drinks, and we never ran out of anything. Our biggest regret, of course, is not eating more (although, we had scheduled 2 tastings during planning which we are so happy we did!!).
If you want your guests to remember the food, use Sage. Their menu and options are unreal, and they are so accommodating. We were so confident throughout planning that we made the best choice in choosing Sage. I couldn't have imagined going forward with anyone else.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We need to find an excuse to host another event so that we can run it back :)

I wish I could give them 10 stars! Amanda and the whole Sage crew was absolutely stellar. Our guests continue rave about all of our food, which does not typically happen at weddings! Amanda was incredibly responsive, organized and insightful and I am SO appreciative of her level of detail. I had no worries at all that the evening would not go seamlessly because she was so on top of things. Cannot recommend Sage enough!

If you're contemplating which catering company to go with for your wedding, there is no question that SAGE is the answer! Susie was such a rockstar and our vendor MVP. She always promptly responded to my million emails, was super organized, professional and incredibly friendly. Our tasting was one of our wedding planning highlights - it was so much fun and the food was delicious! Weddings aren't typically known for having the best food, but Sage is the exception! All of our appetizers and main courses were SO good and our family and friend are still raving about them. Not to mention, the presentation of them was top notch. We really can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with Sage and Susie from our initial email to the wedding night. Everything went perfectly + without a hitch on our wedding day and we have Susie and the Sage crew to thank for that!

She even organized McDonalds at the end of the night for our guests. During the wedding my husband and I had our own person dedicated to us to make sure we had enough to eat and drink. Our guests raved about the food and I couldn't recommend them enough!

Sage Catering was a complete dream to work with. From the initial inquiry to the day of our wedding, Sage, and Courtney especially, made my husband and me feel completely taken care of and worry free. With Sage, you aren’t “just getting a caterer” you are getting a full-service wedding experience. Courtney made sure that all our important details were carried out and her team helped set up our wedding reception space perfectly. The food is next level and multiple guests complimented it was the best wedding food they’ve had. Sage even had hand-stuffed blue cheese olives for our favorite martinis! Michelle, our personal waitress during the reception made sure we always had a drink or food in our hand all night We made sure to get a picture with her because we had so much fun 😊 If you’re considering Sage, stop looking elsewhere and book them already, you will NOT be disappointed, I promise!

We had the best experience using Sage! First of all, they are one of the only catering companies that offered a food tasting. We were having a cocktail style wedding so we had lots of different food apps and stations being offered. We got to try almost everything we choose for our menu which was so so good and we left stuffed! We also met Amanda in person that day and she was always so responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. Sage not only provided us incredible, hot, delicious food that literally never ended at our wedding but they also provided incredible service! People told us how attentive all the staff was to every guest. Not to mention our incredible waitress who kept bringing us food and drinks all night - it was truly amazing! We had a huge variety of food that guests all could find something they loved. Rave reviews on the Asian station and cheesesteak egg rolls! We loved working with Sage and Amanda and the entire event staff. They truly made our never ending cocktail hour wedding dreams come true!!

Truly, if I could give SAGE Catering an infinite star rating, I would! Amanda was our event coordinator, and from the initial contact to the day of the wedding, she was there every step of the way. She was responsive, helpful, and so wonderful to work with! She made the planning process feel so much easier, since she was always available to answer questions and provide feedback. She also worked tirelessly on the day of our wedding, and was there the entire time with the rest of the team! She ensured everything ran smoothly, even when we ran into a few roadblocks, and for that, we cannot thank her enough! Now, for the FOOD! The chefs at SAGE are some of the best, and the food is some of the most incredible food I have EVER eaten. The cocktail hour appetizers, charcuterie board and stationary apps, cocktails and signature drinks, and of course- the entrees; every single bite/sip was absolutely fabulous. They have so many choices of delicious items, with there truly being something for everyone's tastes, and are super flexible and accommodating when it comes to allergies and dietary restrictions. During our reception, the dinner plates came out absolutely piping hot, which was amazing. Guests were raving about the quality of the food, the temperature, and the delicious taste. We provided guests with 3 entree options, a chicken, beef, and fish, and SO many of our friends and family told us that they have never had a sirloin so perfectly cooked at a wedding! I could rave about SAGE for days!! We cannot thank each and every member of the SAGE team that was at our wedding for their incredible service and kindness! Their services are genuinely worth every single penny and then some! Thank you Amanda, and the entire SAGE team!!!!

I am so incredibly happy that we chose Sage to cater our wedding, and extremely grateful to Amanda for helping our day go smoothly. The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was flawless. We got endless compliments from our guests, saying it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to! From the complimentary tasting over a year ago to our wedding day this past weekend, Amanda was so flexible with all of our requests, and super responsive to the thousands of emails and texts back and forth. She truly went above and beyond serving as day-of coordinator as well. She was thorough and thought of details that we didn’t. The service staff and bartenders were incredible, and even made sure we as the bride and groom got to eat! If you’re wondering who to hire for your catering needs, look no further. We highly, highly recommend Sage!!

Cortney was super helpful throughout the process and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of. We also had a server who kept an eye on us. She made sure our drinks were full and we had a plate of hors d’oeuvres to eat before we went out to mingle. They have a lot of different options to choose from, everything we tried was delicious! We have no bad things to say at all and would definitely recommend them! Thank you Sage for being a huge part of our day and helping to make it perfect!!

We could not be more thrilled with our experience from beginning to end working with Sage for our wedding. Our wedding venue only provided tables, Sage provided EVERYTHING else. Dana was our coordinator and we probably exchanged hundreds of emails- she was always so accommodating and responsive. On wedding day, Danielle was assigned to be our personal server/best friend. She made sure we had each passed hors d'oeuvre during cocktail hour and truly never let us have an empty drink in hand. The service for our guests was also phenomenal- all servers were timely, efficient, professional, attentive, and our guests were raving about how well taken care of they were. The food, from cocktail hour to our plated dinner, was outstanding and SERIOUSLY on another level than "normal" wedding food (get the short ribs!!!). We recommend Sage wholeheartedly. You and your guests will be so well fed and taken care of. <3

We were absolutely blown away by Sage's food and service. Dana at Sage helped us with every step of the catering process--a difficult undertaking for 260-person wedding! Dana also worked with us to make sure we had vegan options throughout the evening (and we heard from our guests that they were excellent). Everything from the tasting, to communication, and service the night of the wedding was outstanding. Each plate came out hot, and our guests were raving about the dishes. All food allergies were handled perfectly as well. Bar service was excellent - almost no lines the entire night.
Overall, Sage was the perfect caterer, and we could not have asked for better food or service on our wedding night.

We had to choose between 5 caterers for our venue and we are SO happy we went with Sage. Cortney was so patient and quick to respond to any questions we had. This really made us feel at ease. We loved having the private, complimentary tasting before we signed because it really sold us on their customer service and quality bites! I was shocked at how many caters that don't let you try their food before you purchase. We thought Sage's pricing was great compared to other vendors we had received quotes from. On the day of, their staff was diligent, kind, and professional. Our guests loved the food and that they were able to accommodate many dietary restrictions. They were very organized and set up our tables just how we had pictured them! I would definitely recommend Sage!

We got married on 6/9/23 and Sage Catering was one of the recommended caterers at our venue, Cairnwood Estate. Since Cairnwood doesn't have any in-house coordination, we really relied on Sage to be that special guide throughout our wedding planning process. Courtney was our coordinator, and she was just spectacular! I want to rave about so many things I don't know where to start! I think the most important thing to say is that we got SO many compliments on our food! We had our tasting and the food was fabulous, so we were really excited about that - but its not uncommon for the tasting to be great and the food on the actual day to fall flat. We did NOT have that experience, the food was 10/10! Cortney was present at the tasting and was able to give us insight on some ways to customize our menu, for example, we could choose as many passed hors d'oeuvre as we'd like, the total quantity would just stay the same! The month before our wedding, we were able to do our planning meeting in person at Cairnwood, so we could walk through the estate and decide which layout fit best for us! Also, Cortney and the Sage team were super accommodating for any unique requests we had, for example, our signature cocktail had lavender in it and Sage was able to source edible sprigs to garnish the drinks with. Another was that we wanted a champagne tower and Cortney was able to go off of an inspiration picture I had and set it all up! I felt super cared for the whole day and it was lovely to just be able to relax and enjoy the experience! I seriously think we got our full money's worth by hiring Sage Catering.

We had the best experience with Sage. My husband and I tried multiple vendors but none compared to the flavor, options, and kindness of the staff at Sage. We were even able to get a second tasting because we were so indecisive on the menu because everything tasted AMAZING. You literally cannot go wrong with their food options. Cortney was our wedding coordinator and she was sooo helpful with everything and was with us every step of the way, answering our many questions and providing us a timeline for the wedding. Throughout our reception, the catering staff made sure my husband and I received our appetizers because we were running around, and made sure we stayed hydrated! Our guests raved about the food and also complimented the bartenders. The whole day flew by so fast but it went perfectly because of Cortney and her team. At the end of the night too they cleaned everything up so the venue was spotless and we didn't have to worry about anything. 100000% recommend Sage Catering for your wedding or any event!!

Sage catered my wedding at Appleford Estate and they went absolutely above and beyond to make it special. We worked with Amanda Grasso and from the first day until our wedding day she was so communicative, flexible, knowledgeable, and supportive. I cannot even count how many emails I sent Amanda over the year of planning my wedding (it was a lot), and each time she quickly responded with an answer to my question or with the change I requested. I wanted to do a watermelon margarita as my signature drink, and when I assumed we would need to use store-bought watermelon juice, Amanda told me Sage could make the watermelon juice in house with I loved (the drinks were DELICIOUS). My husband and I customized several items on the menu, which was a lot of fun and made our wedding feel more personal. Sage set up our venue, and I was honestly worried about someone else getting all of the details right, but they completely nailed our vision. The food was GREAT and presented so beautifully. Our guests really loved the sushi and the espresso martinis. Sage also was a huge help at the end of the night, which allowed my husband and I to relax and go straight to our after party. I cannot recommend Sage enough. Our wedding day would not have been nearly as amazing as it was without them! You will not regret hiring them!!!

If you’re thinking about booking with Sage, just do it! You won’t regret it.
Sage went above and beyond my expectations from start to finish. I had the pleasure of working with Courtney and she made all my wedding dreams a reality.
A few months ago I had a food tasting with my mom and now husband and was blown away by the portion size, the presentation, and of course the taste. The food was amazing. We had 200+ people at our wedding and they made it look easy. Everyone at my wedding said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Don’t walk, run to book them!
Thank you Sage, and thank you, Courtney!!!! I will be recommending you to all my friends.

Couldn’t be happier with our catering experience!! Dana guided us on the planning months ahead and all of the overwhelming decisions along the way all while honoring our budget. We got countless compliments on our entrees and the service was amazing— from planning to set up, bartenders, cocktail hour apps and bar, dinner service and clean up. Cortney was our point person the day of and was so attentive and accommodating. I felt like I could enjoy my wedding day without having to give anything a second thought. Sage is comprised of true professionals and they worked seamlessly with my other vendors to make the day incredible!!!

Sage was one of my favorite vendors for our wedding. Cortney is an absolute shining star who I swear will answer any email within 5 minutes anytime of day. Responsive vendors like Sage are truly amazing and not as easy to come by. Cortney provided us with a complimentary tasting that was delicious. She was flexible when I wanted to change or upgrade things and then walk back upgrades etc. Throughout the planning process I felt at ease. The day of the wedding we had our own server that brought us drinks and a tray of appetizers immediately after the ceremony. Thank goodness for this bc we ate the entire tray before we went to cocktail hour and then never really ate again! Cortney also tackled the major task of a Pittsburgh cookie table.. for those of you who don’t know this is no easy task to handle. It would be a mistake to book with any other caterer. Sage has true dedicated professionals like Cortney that will give you and your 175 guests food to rave about for days afterwards.

From the first email with Cortney I knew I found the best catering team! She was so prompt in responses, make adjustments to the menu for us, kept it super organized every step of the journey. Cortney really went above & beyond to create an entire experience for my wedding, it was so much more than food. Although let me tell you about the food - UNREAL! The portion sizes for dinner were perfect, cocktail hour we did a slider station that was a huge hit with my guests. Cortney also set up a cocktail + mocktail shelf so when my guests arrived they were greeted with drinks ready to go. She did our entire tablescape (she's truly the best of the best) Throughout the night Cortney kept checking in on me, my mom, my stepdad, my husband to see if we needed anything & even stayed to help us all pack up at the end of the night. Their staff just goes above & beyond, no one is leaving hungry when you have Sage <3!!!

Sage significantly exceeded our expectations. We were lucky enough to specifically work with Amanda.
We were first impressed by the tasting as Sage's experience outperformed the other caterers we considered initially. Once we had Sage selected, it was about a 1.5 year planning process with different touchpoints with Amanda. Sage perfectly executed a rather complex signature cocktail, provided a customized fish option and cocktail hour station, and worked efficiently to have all guests served in a timely manner (which was important to us). Also, all staff and bartenders were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond, and the food was delicious!

Sage was amazing from the very beginning! From walking into the tasting until the last moments of our wedding, we are so happy we chose Sage! Dana is so great, friendly and easy to work with! She kept us calm during the entire planning process and was able to envision exactly what we wanted. Our guests all raved about the food and said how high quality everything was! Sage was also so helpful with set up and layout at Cairnwood! We cannot thank you all enough!

Cannot say enough good things about Sage Catering. Courtney was such a professional and an amazing partner throughout our wedding planning process. Not only was the food and service amazing but they accommodated all of our requests, from hand stuffed blue cheese olives for dirty martinis to a champagne tower. Thank you guys for making our dream wedding a reality!

Sage Catering was amazing from start to finish. Amanda went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day went smoothly. Leading up to the day the coordination was frequent and informative. The day of we had no surprises or missteps, from the bar service to the food. The food was just as amazing on our wedding day as it was at the tasting. I highly recommend Sage Catering.

Sage catering was absolutely amazing! My husband and I booked with them very early on into the wedding planning as they were a recommended vendor for our venue. Dana was great during our tasting and planning process.. even offered for us to come in for more than one tasting ! The day of our wedding we were absolutely blown away! We were greeted directly after our ceremony with our signature cocktail and given a plate of the food served during cocktail hour. This was breach because as a bride and groom you often forget to eat. We had multiple people at our wedding come up to us to compliment how great the food was!

Sage catering was an absolute dream to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process to our amazing wedding day. We worked with Cortney (who is a ROCKSTAR!!) and she was so responsive, detailed, accommodating....I could go on and on! Our guests raved about the food - everything was delicious. The mac and cheese bar was a big hit at cocktail hour!
Beyond that, each member of the staff was friendly, professional, and attentive and we received so many compliments from our guests regarding the Sage staff.
Overall, Cortney and the rest of Sage brought our wedding vision to life. They went above and beyond for us on our wedding day, and we can't thank them enough. No detail was overlooked, and everything was perfect.
We wish we could be a guest at our own wedding just to relive everything again!
If you didn't book Sage yet - book them!!

I cannot thank Sage Catering enough for how they brought my wedding vision come to life. I had a vibe in my head and a mess of decor that I wasn't really sure how I wanted placed and they were able to take my confusing notes and create a beautiful wedding space in an already beautiful venue. It was exactly what I envisioned in my head but couldn't figure out how to describe. Sage was amazing from the beginning to the end with all my many questions and they made everything run so smoothly from start to finish. Plus the food was absolutely amazing!

Sage Catering was an excellent choice for our wedding at Appleford Estate! We got the opportunity to do a tasting in order to make our decision for catering and everything tasted amazing! We had no doubt with our decision. They have great options and even allowed us to play around when it came to dessert! The gelato bar was enjoyed by all guests! Staff were so attentive and helpful! The bartenders made great drinks. Please be sure that they know all drinks being served and use certain alcohol bottles first if needed. They set up everything how it should be and our day turned out perfect! Amanda was excellent and easy to work with and answered all questions I had. I really enjoyed working with her throughout this process and that says a lot because I was the bride. Thank you thank you thank you! We hope we can use you in any future events! I see our anniversary dinner in our future at Appleford Estate next year!!

It was really fun and got our tables to really interact with each other. I wish we could go back and do tastings with Sage again because the food was so delicious!

Sage Catering was THE BEST! It wasn’t just the food (Choices: short ribs, salmon, truffle mushroom ravioli), but the service was impeccable!! My guests were raving WEEKS after my July 2022 wedding. They took extra special care for me and my husband on the day of, ensuring that we both were able to enjoy the delicious food but also to have a moment alone between our ceremony and reception. That time was invaluable and I’m so grateful!
Cortney was such a pleasure to work with. I was a little overwhelmed with all of the choices that needed to be made (linens, napkins, table placement, who’s car do we load with the leftover bar items?) and she walked me through it all. I was a bit indecisive and changed my mind a few times but she was so understanding. There was nothing out of place! I was amazed at how quickly they transformed the space for my reception! I would recommend Sage Catering to any and everyone! 10/10! Thank you so much Cortney and Sage Team for making my day so special!

Sage really made our wedding go off without a hitch. We were originally supposed to get married outdoors on a roof terrace, but severe weather forced us to our back up plan indoors. Sage did an amazing job coordinating with the venue, transforming the space and creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The food was praised by all our guests, but the best part for me was the high level of service their staff provided. Would definitely recommend for any event!

Sage Catering is absolutely the BEST!! The food choices (short ribs, halibut, butternut squash ravioli) for my daughter's wedding reception were ALL outstanding.

She ALWAYS answered my emails promptly and was friendly and professional throughout the process. In my opinion, anyone who uses another caterer is missing out!

My daughter got married at Greystone Hall on 8/26/22 and we used Sage catering for this event. Courtney and her team were nothing short of AMAZING. The food was delicious, we had many guests comment on how great the food was. My father is battling Alzheimer's, and as soon as one of their staff noticed this, she started caring for my dad and myself in a way that family would. It touched my heart. Courtney took care of so many details that day that I can honestly say, without reservation that because of her leadership, the day went off without a hitch. I HIGHLY recommend this catering company to anyone having an important event. I would hire them again in a minute. The pricing is straight forward, no surprises at the end. They were friendly with all the guests and Courtney was such a pleasure to work with. They also provide a "tasting" where you get to "try before you buy." That was great too. All in all if you want a great experience, with responsible people, and great food look no further, just book with Sage Catering.

I am not one who typically writes reviews, but with how many vendors there are to choose from and how stressful wedding planning is, I wanted to write this for all the brides out there: I cannot recommend Sage Catering enough! Sage did an AMAZING job with my wedding!! From the time spent helping us decide on the food, linen colors, designing the floor layout, timing and flow of events, to putting out our personal items at the venue, and to packing up everything at the end of the night and loading it into our car- Sage made this whole process easy and seamless! Sage was very responsive and accommodating through the whole process, and during the tasting (you can bring a total of 6 people!), we were able to provide feedback and customize the dishes. They helped us create a unique dining experience that was within our budget and listened to our feedback, made suggestions, provided us with options to pick from, and followed up to clarify/confirm what we wanted.
Everything looked beautiful, was delicious, and was exactly as we discussed, and I received so many compliments on the food and appearance!!! To top it all off, the service was fantastic! The team was super attentive and made sure we ate and always had a drink in hand. Everyone told me to get a day off coordinator; I didn’t, but with Sage, I personally didn’t need one. Shout out to Amanda and team who made my day PERFECT!!

WOW! We just had our wedding at Cairnwood Estate with Sage as the caterer and I am still on cloud 9. Sage helped to make our wedding dreams come true. Though they are technically the catering vendor-- they do SO MUCH MORE than just catering. They help you figure out a menu, a layout/set up, provide alcohol recommendations, coordinate all of your vendors as they set up, make a reception timeline, coordinate your cake delivery, and were even willing to set up candles, a champagne tower, and other decor for the reception. We worked with Amanda throughout the entire process. From the first day I reached out, she was very responsive, and seemed very experienced. I was so indecisive about the menu, that I think I must have changed elements of it 5+ times -- every change was picked up and adjusted for. Now, days after the wedding, we are still hearing about how good the food was, how perfectly the filet mignon was cooked, and how wonderful the servers were! Prior to the wedding, we were told by so many people to make sure that we made time to eat because it would get so hectic that we'd forget. We did NOT even have to worry about this with Sage. They assigned a server specifically to us, Steph, who brought us a plate of all the cocktail hour food, continued to bring us waters and cocktails throughout the night, would ask us if we needed anything, and in general was amazing. Thank you Steph, Amanda, and the team at Sage for making our wedding reception so perfect!!

We, along with all our guests, truly had an incredible time together this past weekend at our wedding at Cairnwood Estate. The Sage Catering staff did an exceptional job in taking care of everyones needs in a very positive, professional fashion. From our perspective the entire event was flawless in every conceivable detail. All of the food was exceptional, delicious and plentiful. The way in which all of it was prepared and presented on the plate and by your catered staff was extremely beautiful and creative. On top of that we were blessed with spectacular weather which put everyone in a very positive, festive mood. From our perspective the entire event was flawless in every conceivable detail.
Thank you again for your professionalism and support throughout the entire process, you truly made it all come together in such a smooth, wonderful, polished fashion. Throughout the entire day we simply never had to worry about anything since you and your entire team had everything under control.
We truly look forward to being able to utilize your catering expertise again sometime in the future.

I wish I could give Sage catering more than 5 stars! Our entire wedding experience from beginning to end with this company was fantastic. We worked with Dana (love her!) who was fabulous - I probably emailed her 150+ times since we first connected and she always answered me promptly. She made this part of the wedding planning process so easy for us.
In addition to the exemplary customer service, the food is absolutely outstanding! We had so many guests comment on how the food exceeded their expectations. Sage definitely puts their heart and soul into their meals and it shows. We selected the beef short ribs, crab cakes, and vegetable risotto cake for our entrees. I couldn't have been happier with our choices.
Dana, we sincerely thank you! You made everything seamless on the day of, including providing a personal attendant for us during our reception! Do yourself a favor and book Sage for your next event. Your guests will thank you :-)

Sage Catering was a godsend to work with! Dana was a dream to work with being so professional from the start. We wanted to include Filipino food during cocktail hour and mochi for dessert and they were able to accommodate all of our requests. They really curtailed an incredible menu and our guests could not stop raving about it. The food and setup were so on point and we are so thankful to have worked with Sage! Absolutely book with them!
