Sage catered our family's wedding at Appleford 2 weeks ago. Everything was delicious. The food was just as good as the tasting day, which is hard to accomplish. I highly recommend Sage, and Appleford. read more

Sage catered a wedding we attended at Appleford Estates and did a truly amazing job. The food was all delicious - including butlered hors d'oeuvres, a small but tasty Italian Meat and Cheese display and a fully stocked open bar. The dinner itself was a plated meal with 3 entree choices all of which were excellent. Branzino, Steak or a vegetarian ravioli choice. Wonderful mini desserts, too, such as creme brule and fruit tarts. Even the salad (Arugula - which I am not a huge fan of) was great and had a blueberry balsamic dressing and candied nuts (not good for a nut allergy, LOL). Wonderful service and food. read more

Sage Catering - The dinner for 2021 holiday season - Caterers Near Me

See all

This caterer comes highly recommended and the food is amazing however the food came out plated and was not hot and not even warm, family style salad was served with no salad plates on the table...no one came around to refill water glasses...salt and pepper no where to be found and tables were being cleared of centerpieces/and flowers right after cake was served while wedding still going on and I overheard one of their workers say "I wish they would all get up and go, so that I could go home"....great food but no attention to detail or table service.... read more

Sage Catering was phenomenal for our wedding! My husband and I are total foodies and we loved the food. We heard from many of our guests that it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had. Everyone we interacted with was wonderful and helpful. They really helped make our wedding day totally hassle-free and delicious! They were wonderfully accommodating early in our wedding planning when we had a long delay in booking the venue and setting a date. We worked with Trisha, who is a superhero. She helped us coordinate with our other vendors and there wasn't a single hiccup. We got married at an urban farm that required us to coordinate with a lot of other vendors and it was no problem at all for Trisha. From early on it was clear she had absolutely everything under control and could roll with any and all bumps in the road. She was a delight to work with and her expertise and recommendations were very helpful. She was always very prompt and flexible. Interacting with her was never a chore like it can be with some vendors. I really could not recommend Sage and Trisha more highly! read more

This review is solely based on their customer service via email. My fiance and I are in the process of searching for caterers for our wedding. This place received a lot of positive reviews on wedding websites. However, we found them very difficult to work with via email and moved on. They wanted us to have a menu chosen prior to a tasting. We worked with Dana, who was not very responsive, not very customer service oriented and would ignore our questions for several days at a time. We attempted to work with her for weeks--emailing her our preferred menu options which she "didn't understand the concept of." We wanted vegetarian heavy options, a fish and a chicken. It wasn't a very difficult menu.. She would dodge our inquiries. It was like we had to beg her to let Sage cater our wedding! Anyway, I have no idea what their food/service is like but you may have to be extremely persistent if you really want to work with Sage. I felt like I needed to cater to her needs instead of the other way around. ;-) read more

I've tasted your wedding service, and now enjoyed an anniversary dinner. Both exceptional. I wanted to let you know how perfectly everything went for our anniversary dinner. Perfect menu, perfectly prepared food, perfect service. People are still talking about the food -- one wrote to say he's still regretting passing up the budino (he was very full and dieting). Others raved about how the short ribs melted in their mouth! Several mentioned how great Mary and Sammie were -- how often do people remember the names of the servers? I thoroughly enjoyed the entire event -- not a worry in the world. Thank you doesn't capture it. But THANK YOU! read more

Sage catered my wedding and then my baby shower 4 years later. I am always impressed with their attentive service and guests always comment (even years later) on the quality of the food. read more

This review is for the customer service and complimentary tasting - will update when we have our wedding. Trisha is our correspondent and my fiancee and I are beyond please with her prompt replies, her excellent explanations (despite some of our silly questions), and her overall professionalism. Sage offers complimentary tasting before booking and we pretty much got a free lunch that was on par for taste with some of the best food we've had in Philly. Not sure how the quality will be when amplified for 200 people, but I am so relieved that this is not another "rubber wedding chicken" place. She and the chef personally discussed some of the changes we wanted made to the menu and I was pleased to see they took our alterations to heart. They were extremely flexible with slashing some of the prices as well as smoothing over issues in the contract that we had questions over. I'm extremely relieved that the hardest part of wedding planning (at least, the most expensive part) is in such good hands and I truly cannot wait to see what the end result will be in a few months! read more

I know the owners to be extremely kind and generous people. I have had several dealings, in another venue, with one of the owners. I cannot believe that Sage Catering wouldn't provide extraordinary cuisine and service and make your special occasion memorable and unforgettable. read more

The owner is always available to talk when you want but the planners are super and know what they are taking about. Oh and they provide delicious food and amazing service read more

My husband and I recently used this company for our wedding and it was a mistake. I will admit the food was good (the only reason for 2 stars), but many companies serve good food and don't have an attitude problem. The "Sage Team" while initially polite and eager for our business, but they became slow to reply by email and difficult to work with once we committed. The worst experience was the actual day of the wedding when they seemed incapable of managing the logistics and staff -- I was frequently bothered while getting ready to deal with little things that their event planner was supposed to handle! Overall, we got the impression that they wanted our money but didn't care about us enjoying our wedding. We strongly do not recommend! read more

Amazing food. Professional. Great service with a smile. Catered my sons wedding an hour and a half away and all the guests said "best food ever eaten at a wedding"!!! read more

I attended an event catered by Sage and had a wonderful experience. The catering staff was helpful and all of the food was hot and flavorful. Also, I did not have to hunt anyone down for food because it was plentiful and I was full from cocktail hour! I was not involved in the planning of the event, but as a participant in the evening, everything went smoothly and the venue was elegantly arranged. I would recommend this company. read more

SAGE catered my December 2018 wedding at Cairnwood Estate and I was so glad that we chose them! To set the context - this was a second wedding for both my husband and I who are in our mid-50's. Rather than a traditional reception, we wanted an evening that felt more like a formal dinner party-including a fully custom French inspired menu. Within 5 minutes of talking with Greg and Dana, I knew they had the skills, attitude, and desire to execute on our vision. Dana was a joy to work with. Besides being a really neat lady, she is very competed and focused. While it took several iterations to get the menu finalized, Dana and Greg were very willing to work with me as we poured over the details of each dish to ensure the entire menu would work perfectly. AND IT DID!!! Our guests raved about the food -- three weeks later and they are still raving about the food! Dana ensured the evening flowed according to plan (relaxed cadence yet ensured dinner did not drag on) while the executive chefs & their teams executed on a series of complicated appetizers and entrees. Not to be overlooked was the wait-staff. They professionally and unobtrusively served our guests and were just very pleasant all the way around. Simply put, SAGE assembled a highly professional and competent team and exceed my very high expectations. Without question, I would highly recommend SAGE for any of your catering needs. They will not disappoint. read more

Where do I start.....We have used Sage Catering on multiple occasions from a birthday party at our home to our daughters wedding. Every time we have received rave reviews on the food and the service staff. We have worked with the same planner, Dana, for each event. What a delight she has been. She assisted with our every need throughout the entire planning process and calmed our nerves on the day of the event. I would recommend them for any event, big or small. They are truly world class !!!! read more

DO NOT HIRE THEM! Where do I begin? I worked at a wedding hall for 5 years as a waitress & I have never seen such unprofessionalism. Perhaps my standards were set above normal being I worked in the business but #SageCatering RUINED our wedding day in many ways. They showed up late & didn't to set up a bar outside which caused complete chaos for cocktail hour. The line was out the door, it was humiliating. The only reason we had the wedding at Ridley Creek Mansion was to enjoy the outdoor veranda and nobody got to do that all night. When my Mother asked Dana to set the bar up she said "it was too late". They gave my Mom 3 excuses, one - it was too windy, there was not enough staff & "it was too late". After cocktail hour, Dana was nowhere to be found. When asked where she was, the waiter laughed & said she was HIDING IN THE KITCHEN. They DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH APPETIZERS. Everyone complained that they weren't getting apps. My wedding party was waiting at the kitchen door bec they were starving. Each tray came out with only 10 on it and they came every 20 min. Our wedding was over 150 people. I was HUMILIATED to come back to work to hear my coworkers say the food was skimpy when we hired the most expensive caterer on the list. During dinner, Dana told the DJ to play dance music bec they were running late w/dinner. I went to the bathroom after speeches were made to find people dancing. We didn't get our dinner until 8pm. We didn't have a waitress taking care of us or our parent's tables. Our friends went to the bar to get me a drink. They set up the coffee station w/1 coffee container. Nobody had cake; they didn't bag it or put it at your table unless you were there. On top of all of this - the bartenders took a $100 tip from one of our drunken guests to load alcohol (that we purchased - not SAGE) on a party bus. When we confronted management w/all of this, they had no answers and have ignored it. We have waited 5 months to review online w/hopes to resolve this. read more
