Awesome Caterer!! Great staff!! Unforgettable events!!
We had our wedding in September and Willow and Sage Catering was highly recommended. If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding, look no further! Seriously, from the beginning planning stages to the winding down at the end of our wedding day, their team handled every detail. I never once felt overwhelmed, and instead felt completely supported by their entire team.
Food was a very important part of our wedding that we wanted to get right and our guests still talk about how wonderful the food was months later! Thank you so much for making our day everything that we wanted and more!
If we could give Willow & Sage Catering 10 stars, we absolutely would!
From the very first bite at a wedding expo, we instantly knew we had found our caterer. Everything we tasted was incredible, and working with Kara throughout the planning process only confirmed we made the right choice. She made every step feel so easy and stress-free — guiding us, keeping us organized, and making sure every detail was perfect. Kara truly went above and beyond to bring our vision to life!
And let’s talk about the FOOD. Oh. My. Goodness. It was out-of-this-world delicious! From the passed hors d’oeuvres at cocktail hour (those cheesesteaks on pretzel buns and filet skewers were an absolute hit!) to the main courses, every single bite was perfection. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was — even the notoriously picky eaters couldn’t stop raving about it!
On the big day, Karen (who had literally just placed in a bodybuilding competition the day before — total rockstar!) was a dream to work with. She ran everything flawlessly, worked seamlessly with our venue staff, and made sure my wife and I were always fed, hydrated, and — most importantly — never without a drink in hand! The entire Willow & Sage team was so friendly, professional, and attentive. They made sure every guest was happy and the bartenders definitely stayed busy all night long!
Willow & Sage Catering didn’t just serve incredible food — they helped make our wedding day unforgettable. If you’re lucky enough to book them, do it. You will not regret it! We can’t thank Kara, Karen, and the entire team enough for making our day absolutely perfect! 💕
We worked with Willow & Sage for our wedding and had such a great experience. Kara, Danielle, and Scott were all incredibly organized, thoughtful, and supportive throughout the planning process. They were on top of every detail, helped guide us where we needed input, and made everything feel seamless the day of.
Most importantly, the food was phenomenal! Our guests have not stopped raving about it. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented.
We’re so grateful we chose Willow & Sage. Highly recommend!
5 Stars - AMAZING Food and a ROCK STAR Coordinator, Kara!
Seriously, Willow and Sage Catering absolutely crushed it for my military retirement ceremony! The food was beyond delicious—it was the kind of meal people talk about for weeks, and every single guest was raving about it. It truly made the whole night feel extra special.
A huge thank you has to go to Kara. She was a total rock star and the definition of going the extra mile. Dealing with our complex table organization could have been a major headache, but Kara was incredibly patient and handled it all with grace and a warm smile. She also took the time and effort to coordinate perfectly with the Bell Works staff, making sure everything flowed seamlessly.
Because of Kara’s dedication, the entire evening was stress-free for us and genuinely unforgettable for everyone. If you want amazing food and a team that genuinely cares about making your event perfect, book Willow and Sage and ask for Kara! She's the best!
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!
