We couldn't be more thrilled with the catering service provided by Bartleby & Sage for our wedding! From the initial tasting to the final course, everything was absolutely perfect. The team went above and beyond to ensure that our guests had an unforgettable dining experience. First off, the tasting was a breeze— Leslie made us feel so comfortable and guided us through the menu options, offering thoughtful suggestions based on our preferences. We appreciated her flexibility and creativity, helping us choose a menu that reflected our personal tastes. On the big day, the food was a standout. The presentation was elegant, and the flavors were out of this world! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was, from the appetizers to the main course to the decadent desserts. The staff was attentive, professional, and made sure everything was served at the perfect temperature and with impeccable timing. One thing that really impressed us was how seamlessly everything was handled. The catering team was discreet yet efficient, making sure the flow of food didn’t interrupt the festivities but still keeping everything on track. It was clear they were highly experienced and took great pride in their work. Not only was the food outstanding, but the overall service and experience were top-notch. Leslie and her team truly made our wedding day even more special, and we’re so grateful for their hard work and dedication. If you're looking for a caterer who provides delicious food, exceptional service, and an unforgettable experience, we highly recommend Bartleby & Sage.

The food for the wedding was even better than the tasting! It was so good and everyone that attended was super impressed. My only note is that we missed some of the cocktail hour food and dessert during the wedding - I think the day-of coordinator could have been better catering to us knowing how busy we were during the wedding. As long as all of this is explicitly planned in detail ahead of time it should be fine!
Such good food and amazing staff

We hired Bartleby and Sage for our catering and day of coordination. The menu they put together was exactly what we wanted (food was one of our top priorities for the wedding) from incredibly tasty passed appetizers (lamb chops were a favorite) and signature cocktails to a beautifully plated dinner, passed desserts and late night fried food. They were incredibly flexible when we wanted to change aspects of a dish and it all came out so great! We also loved working with Rachael for our day of needs, she managed all the vendors expertly and I had zero stress the day of! She was also incredibly responsive over email and helped us nail all the details, providing incredibly helpful advice around every decision and handling all the details (and I had many in full disclosure) perfectly. Highly recommend both Bartleby & Sage and Rachael!
Top-notch Caterers
