Unsuspected Surprise

Let me start out by saying I did not originally hire Willow & Sage. They came to me thru my hired caterer who due to covid costs and current economy needed to sell off their outside contracts. This process happened 4 months before my wedding...we booked our caterer 2 years out, so to say I was panicked is an understatement. All of those nerves and stress went away within the 1st 30 minute conversation I had with Scott the owner. He took the time to explain. The process, asked me things and for decisions I didn't even know I needed to make, and was overall reassuring. From that point I has the pleasure of dealing with 3 more ladies from his office before the big day for various reasons and they all, just like Scott , were so professional and knowledgeable, and helped me stay at peace with this change. The big day finally came and Scott ran my day with the help of Andrea running the serving staff. Scott made sure everything went out without a hitch, he checked on myself and the groom throughout the night. There was never a point when we didn't have what we needed. Andrea and the rest of the staff were AMAZING , I seriously cannot say enough about how great each and everyone of them were. The food, how did I forget the food, was incredible! Every single bite was delicious, and again thanks to Scott he made sure we had a tray of cocktail hour apps waiting for us, and had our dinner plates brought out at the top of opening the buffet, in a rare occasion I was a bride who actually got to eat her meal! I would hire Willow and Sage again in a heartbeat and know that going into any event, everything would be handled.

Above and Beyond Expectations

I highly recommend Marian House. My daughter’s wedding was there a little more than three weeks ago. The food, the service, everything was perfect. I consider myself a very picky person, and they honestly were amazing in so many ways. The staff at Marian House don’t just meet expectations, they take it to another level. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone, even the host, enjoys themselves. One of the things I was worried about was how I was going to set up some things the day of the wedding when the hair and makeup people were coming to our house. I mentioned this to Debbie, and she said, “What do you mean? You just drop those bins off the day before and I take care of everything.” So, I thought, “Okay, I can drop them off…they can set things up…I’ll get there early to fix everything…” (Yes, I’m a control freak.) I got there more than an hour before and nothing, nothing needed to be “fixed” – everything was even better than I imagined. I didn’t realize that Marian House staff would help with so much. I had seriously thought of hiring a day-of coordinator, and I’m so very glad that I did not because the staff at Marian House were amazing with how they made sure everything went smoothly. I thought the food that we sampled before the wedding was fantastic – it was even better the day of the wedding. So many guests have told us after the wedding what a beautiful venue it was, how great the food was, how much they enjoyed themselves. You cannot go wrong having an event at Marian House!

One word: amazing

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue! This was the first venue we toured, we met with Will, he gave us an incredible tasting, and made us feel at home. We knew that no other venue was going to top the feeling we got from this place. Kara made the planning process so easy. Will and Debbie were absolutely amazing the day of making sure not just us, but all of our guests were taken care of. The food is to die for!! Plus, the renovations are stunning and was a nice surprise for us because we had toured before they started the renovations. We had the most perfect day and I would recommend this venue to anybody. 1000000 stars!!

The best in the business!!!

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 outside 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!!

An incredible experience!

Willow & Sage catered our wedding at the Art Factory this past December and our experience with them was exceptional. For starters, they served as much more than only a caterer when it came to both the planning and execution of what we asked for. They are an incredibly professional outfit and Scott’s (The Owner) experience and guidance was invaluable to us. The food will speak for itself when you do a tasting, everything is top notch and they offer a wide ranging variety of options. Not only are the options vast, they will work with you to customize a menu that will make you happy. Don’t see something on their menu? No problem, talk to them about what you want and they’ll create it for you. I can’t state enough that they are not just cooking and serving food; there’s no part of your Wedding that they won’t get involved in if necessary in order to make sure you’re busy enjoying your time and not worrying about how things are running. Kara whom we worked with frequently in the planning stages was always accommodating and available whenever we had questions or ideas we wanted to talk over. We had a 5-star experience!

Willow and Sage

Willow and Sage was the perfect addition to an unforgettable wedding day. Our wedding coordinator Makayla ensured our day was stress free by working with our venue The Art Factory in finalizing the details to create the wedding of our dreams. Willow and Sage provides professional service and amazing food. Many of our guest were quick to complement the food provided. Some in fact said it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Myself and my wife are still raving about Willow and Sage. The experience was so great we were already thinking of ways we could have another celebration just so we can experience the cuisine of Willow and Sage. I must not forget the communication between Taralee, Scott and Will which was timely and friendly. We are happy to say by hiring Willow and Sage we felt like we were part of their family. Thank you again we look forward to hiring you for a future event.

1000/10 the best day ever

From our first visit I knew I wanted to have our wedding at Marian House. Every experience we had there was perfect. We attended multiple bridal shows that showed how beautiful the space will truly look for the wedding. All our guests still rave about the food. Every step of the way they made super easy and they were very accommodating and really wanted this to be the most perfect day for us. Wedding day turned out to be everything I could have ever wanted and more. The new patio was perfect for our December wedding. We had it tented and heated and it was a perfect options for guests for especially for cocktail hour. Will truly made sure this day was absolutely perfect and he himself came to check on me multiple times throughout the wedding. I can't recommend this venue enough.

Absolutely Amazing!!

We worked with Willow & Sage for our January wedding at the Art Factory, and let me say it was such a great pleasure working with them. They don’t just offer catering services but they also help you with the planning process. Scott and his team were absolutely incredible. We were a little hesitant at first with going with Willow & Sage but after that delicious tasting, we booked. We knew that short rib was a must. We worked with Kara and Taralee and let me say they were fantastic. Absolutely great communication and they were always available to answer any questions I had. They were also always checking in on us which I loved. They even worked with me to create a menu in Spanish. I honestly feel Willow & Sage went above and beyond. The day of the wedding Scott and Michaila assure me that everything would be okay and they were right. Michaila was phenomenal and was constantly checking it on us and making sure everything ran smoothly. The food, was absolutely outstanding. All of our guest are still talking about the food and how exceptional it was. They were really amazed at how delicious everything came out and the number of different options available to them. They all left the party full. I HIGHLY recommend Willow & Sage for any wedding.

Amazing Caterer

The decision to use Willow and Sage as our caterer for our wedding in November 2022 was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. From the appetizers to the entrees, the food was great (especially the short rib), and our guests have continued to rave about how good the food was. Beyond that, Scott and his entire team were remarkably professional and compassionate throughout the entire process, repeatedly going above and beyond what I would imagine the normal duties of a caterer to be to ensure that the night went smoothly. I could not recommend them any more highly.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
