Willow and Sage recently catered my daughters wedding and did a phenominal job! From pre planning to day of and most importantly the food, everyting was handled in the utmost professional manner! Chef will's food was amazing (Short Ribs and Salmon) and the cocktail hour was tremendous! Our Host, Karen, was the best! Overall the experience couldn't have been better! My utmost thanks to Scott, Will, Kara, Danielle and Karen for making this one of the best days of my Life! To all of you guys I can't Thank You enough!
First Class all the way!

9/6/2025 A day I will never forget thanks to willow&sage! From start to finish, their team was beyond amazing. They made my wedding planning so much easier! Everyone on their team has been an absolute pleasure to work with. All night long I was receiving compliments about how wonderful the food was, and how it was the best meal they have ever had at a wedding. Every guest’s plate was completely cleared. Kara, Danielle & Karen are INCREDIBLE at their jobs! Truly can not thank Willow & sage enough for making my special day more amazing.
Where do we start. Willow & Sage was the absolute BEST choice we could’ve made to cater our wedding.
We were working with a limited time frame, many different restrictions and dietary choices, and throwing a 130 person party on a property with no electricity or running water.
Karen, Scott, & Will didn’t wince. Not only did they take us on, but created a STUNNING menu that pulled from our story as two kids, a farmer & a chef, who fell in love planting a berry patch.
They were so easy to work with, so accommodating, and so very kind.
Beyond incredible culinary prowess, and deeply excellent service, I cannot close without mentioning that when people started showing up too early and almost seeing the bride before the wedding, Karen mobilized. I hustled into the catering tent, the only place safe from view and she had everyone on deck clearing people, moving vans to block the view and getting me into my hiding spot. It happened in under two minutes.
Every one of our guests was well fed and raved about the food, it was absolutely a dream.
We truly cannot say enough good things.
We chose Willow & Sage as our wedding caterer and really couldn’t be happier with our experience. Kara is the absolute BEST. She helped us plan all the details leading up to the wedding — she was organized, super responsive, and made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. The day of, we had Karen who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect from start to finish, for us and all of our guests. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was amazing, and the table setup and decor was beautiful. They exceeded our expectations and made our day so special (and so easy). We're beyond grateful. We highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer.
The catering at our wedding was absolutely outstanding — truly the best of all! Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was, and many said it was the best wedding meal they’d ever had. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the service was just as exceptional as the food itself.
The team went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless, and they exceeded every expectation. Having them as part of our wedding was one of the best decisions we made — the food became one of the most talked about (and loved!) parts of the entire day.
Willow and Sage is a highly professional caterer. From the initial tasting to the wedding, they show high attention to hospitality, service, and the food. We first visited them for a tasting about a year before the wedding, where we met one of the owners, Scott, the head chef, Will, and a handful of their staff. We were impressed by their professionalism and they had a wide range of options for their food, linens, glassware, and silverware. We wee so impressed by the quality of their food and how delicious each dish was! After we contracted with them, we had several meetings throughout the year to plan the menu, seating chart, colors, etc. Kara was very helpful in making the process seamless, providing her expertise in suggesting how we can best set up our floor plan for 220 people, responding to all of our questions promptly and clearly. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up before we even arrived to the venue. Karen made sure we (the bride and groom) were taken care of throughout the night, making sure we got to have the food, making sure the bars were stocked, making sure all the food was run out to the tables promptly. Our guests told us often how great all the food was, how professional the staff was, how great the bartenders were. They really went above and beyond and are absolutely worth what you pay. 10/10 recommend and we will be recommending them to all our friends and family.
Absolutely incredible! All of the staff is extremely attentive. My husband and I were married at the Conservatory at Sussex county on May 9th. They made the process so seamless, answered any and all questions we had. Thank you so much for everything you do.
Okay, so if my husband hadn't shown up on our wedding day, I may have tried to marry Kara or Karen instead!! All joking aside, working with Willow and Sage was amazing and the entire team was beyond professional and our wedding day ran so smoothly with them. Kara answered my one thousand emails promptly and always had answers to my questions. Karen ran our day as if there were four of her -- many of our guests ended up knowing Karen by name at the end of the night! The food was amazing and the entire experience was so positive, I would highly recommend this team to anyone.
I am not certain where to start… My daughter and sister attended a tasting for my husband’s surprise birthday party and were sold on selecting Willow & Sage. The entire process was made easy , from menu selection, flat wear, linen colors, and table placement. The food was DELICIOUS and ample! The staff, Kara, Karen and Danielle were easy to work with and ALWAYS accommodating. The day of the event, the staff, including bartenders were very professional and pleasant. Karen was exceptional! I highly recommend Willow & Sage if you are looking for a quality product and professional staff. In fact, I’m trying to figure out when I can use them again. Thank you Willow & Sage for making our event memorable!
We used Willow and Sage for our December 2024 wedding and from beginning to end, the team was amazing! Taralee was who we initially spoke with when we began the planning process, and she was so helpful! She really made us feel heard when it came to our vision. She was so helpful and hearing her passion is what made us so excited to work with her. When we went for our tasting, we met Scott. He was so fun to work with and the food was delicious! Kara was our point of contact for all things day of and she made sure nothing slipped through the cracks! She was on her A game and again, so helpful and so kind! Karen was our Matre de for the day of, and she was a rock star! She was on top of everything! And soo pleasant to work with. She really took care of us and made everything so seamless. I couldn't think of a single negative because it really was such a positive experience! Aside from the team being so awesome, the food was delicious! All of our guests talked so highly of the food that was served! Would recommend Willow and Sage over and over again!

Not only is the food phenomenal, but Scott, Will, and the entire team at Willow and Sage are the most caring and professional people EVER. Our wedding was 3 months ago and guests are still raving about how amazing the catering was. Scott and Will helped us immensely when we hit some bumps along the planning road and we would not have had such an amazing day without them. We are so happy with Willow and Sage!
We couldn’t be happier with Willow and Sage Catering! We had previously worked with Scott, Will, and Danielle at other events, so when they launched their own catering company, we knew we had to hire them for our large company picnic with 800 employees and their families. As expected, they went above and beyond, providing exceptional food and flawless service. The entire team is incredibly professional, organized, and passionate about their craft, making everything feel effortless. Willow and Sage Catering exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to working with them again. Highly recommend!
There are no words to express our gratitude for Willow and Sage. After nearly 2 years of planning with their team and 10 days before our wedding day, we found out that our venue was closing. I had emailed Kara at 7AM on a Saturday morning in complete panic mode and in less than 30 minutes, one of the partners, Scott, was on the phone with me helping us secure a new venue. The following afternoon, Scott's business partner and the chef, Will met us at the new venue and assured us that he would make our wedding perfect. And he did just that! The space was set up beautifully, the staff was amazing, and the food was unbelievable!! Our guests are still talking about it (especially the short ribs!!). Everyone at our wedding was so impressed by the fact that Will came to every single table during dinner to see how each guest was doing. And on top of all of that - they referred us to and worked with Bespoke Floral and Event Design to decorate our entire new venue with 10 days notice!! We cannot thank Willow and Sage enough for all that they did! I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Will, Scott, Kara, and the entire Willow and Sage team for creating the best day of our lives!!
Scott and his team are without a doubt the most professional and caring company I have ever encountered in the industry. From the planning to the execution everything was done at a level that exceeded even the highest of expectations. I have never felt so taken care of and the food was outstanding. We received compliments for days after our event on how good the food was from the snobbiest of foodies. I could not recommend Scott and his team anymore.
Willow and Sage catered our wedding and they did not disappoint. If you are looking for an outside caterer for your wedding look no further. I cannot thank them enough for being involved in our wedding day.
Willow and Sage is incredibly easy to work with, they are responsive, caring and professional in what they do. Leading up to the wedding, they made it easy to help guide us with decisions and keep our schedule on time.
During the wedding, my guests could not only stop raving about the food but also the service. Joe was in charge of the wedding party and he did an incredible job. Not only was he constantly checking in on me and my husband but also checking in on our families and bridal parties. He was great!!
The food speaks for itself, multiple guest have reached out days after the wedding to compliment the food (and the service, it was that good!) from the hors d'oeuvres to the main course. This is a company that takes pride in their work and pays attention to details. I am so thankful we made the decision to have Willow and Sage cater our wedding, 10/10 recommend!!
