I'd leave 100 stars if I could
If you’re considering Sage & Spice Catering or hiring Tori Frasher as your wedding planner—do it. It will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding, hands down.
Let’s start with Sage & Spice Catering. The food was unbelievable. Truly, I’m still dreaming about it—and so are many of our guests who went out of their way to tell me how delicious everything was. From passed hors d’oeuvres to our late-night snack station, everything was flawless. The presentation, the flavor, the service—it was all next level. Their team was so much more than caterers—they were kind, attentive, and willing to lend a helping hand outside of their official duties. They were on top of every detail from planning to clean-up and brought such a calm, professional presence to our day.
We also used Sage & Spice for our open bar, and they knocked it out of the park. We ordered all our wine through them (super easy), and they helped us create two specialty cocktails that our guests loved. Their guidance on how much alcohol to order was spot-on, and even with just two bartenders, they were so efficient that we never had a real line for drinks.
And now for Tori. I could write a novel about how incredible Tori is. She’s not just a wedding planner—she’s a magician. Tori made the entire planning process easy, stress-free, and even FUN. She was always three steps ahead, thought through every detail, and had solutions to problems I didn’t even know I had. Her calm energy and expertise kept me grounded through the entire experience. And on the wedding day, she was everywhere. Coordinating timelines, making magic behind the scenes, and even getting down on the bathroom floor to help bustle my dress. I cannot imagine going through this process without her, and I’m endlessly grateful we had her by our side.
Tori and the entire Sage & Spice team are, in a word, extraordinary. I would recommend them a thousand times over.

Perfect caterer for FOODIES!
Sage and Spice executed our PERFECT wedding menu! My husband and I love Asian food, so for our wedding, we wanted to share some of our favorite dishes with our favorite people. Our point of contact, Meredith, was super helpful and collaborative on our consultation call. She walked us through a few options we might like from Sage and Spice's menu, and if there was something different we wanted, we were able to share our own recipes for the chefs to create.
In particular, we were excited about serving Burmese mint chicken, a cuisine and dish we always share when guests visit us in San Francisco, and Chinese BBQ pork (char siu), a comfort food my mom always makes when I go home. We sent both recipes to Sage and Spice, and they absolutely nailed the flavor and texture for both dishes!
Almost everything was incredible, and I'm so grateful that Sage & Spice let us curate our menu and brought it to life flawlessly. Our only hiccup was dessert (doughnuts), but Sage and Spice were responsive, accountable, and handled it professionally. Would absolutely recommend Sage and Spice if you're looking to put your own flair in your catering!

Delicious, Stress-Free Catering for Our Wedding Day!
Tori and her team were incredible from start to finish. The menu planning process was so fun, Tori gave fantastic suggestions based on our likes and dislikes and helped us curate a beautiful Fall-themed menu that perfectly matched the vibe of our wedding day. She even included our favorite appetizer, which wasn’t on their standard menu!
As someone with a severe shellfish allergy, it was so important for me to feel comfortable trying everything, and Tori and her team made that worry-free. Our tasting before the wedding went amazingly well. We didn’t prefer one appetizer, and the chef whipped up an alternate option that was so delicious (highly recommend the spinach artichoke phyllo cups!).
On the wedding day, the team worked flawlessly. They were so friendly, ensured my husband and I had plenty to eat, and everything was served at the perfect temperature. The steaks were grilled on-site, something you don’t usually see at weddings, and every bite was amazing.
We also highly recommend adding a grazing table. The variety and local selections were a huge hit! Tori and her team truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t recommend Sage & Spice Catering more. 🍂🍴

All the love to Sage and Spice Catering
We are so happy that we chose Sage and Spice Catering for our wedding! I communicated mostly with Tori and she was amazing; super friendly and kind, great communication, and you can really tell she loves her job. During Hurricane Helene, she and her crew were out there giving out free meals. I'm glad to have supported a catering company who cares about their community.
On my actual wedding day, everyone was great. Adam, Addie, Sergio, and Wyman, thank you so much for helping make our day so special. :)
We received many compliments that our wedding food was "the best wedding food I've ever had!". One of our groomsmen even pointed out that when we went up to get his plate of food, the server, grabbed him a piece of chicken, but made sure to dip it several times in the sauce underneath before serving it. I know it's a small thing, but it's the little things like that that do make a difference.
My sister was my MOH and is pescatarian so Tori let her pick whatever protein she wanted. She chose grouper and it was incredible! My husband and I got to taste and were blown away.
So when looking around for caterers, I would highly recommended going with Sage and Spice Catering. We have nothing but positive things to say about Tori and her company.

Not only delicious food, but a fantastic and kind team!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would! To start- the food is absolutely delicious, and Tori does a great job of making sure that the menu is perfect for you and your partner. Not only that, but Tori and her team go above and beyond for their couples. My husband and I had to pivot our wedding plans after Hurricane Helene, and she and her team travelled all the way to Lake Norman, NC to be there for us. We went from a wedding of 160 people to a wedding of 50, and she was able to accommodate everything with ease. Tori also graciously stepped in as a day-of wedding coordinator, and with her help and expertise our wedding day was truly perfection- you would have never known that it was our back-up plan that was put together in 2 weeks. I could go on and on about how great Sage and Spice is- but rest assured, your wedding day will be incredibly safe in their hands, and everyone will love the food :)

Above and Beyond
I do not write reviews often but felt compelled to in this case. My daughter was set to have her wedding in the Asheville, NC area on 10/26/24. Due to hurricane Helene, we had to quickly pivot to a smaller wedding on Lake Norman (near Charlotte NC). We had 3 weeks to totally re-plan the event, going from a large wedding at a mountain venue (with a venue-based wedding planner) to a DIY lakeside wedding at a private home. We had contracted with Sage and Spice, based in Asheville, to cater our mountain wedding. After the change in plans Sage and Spice immediately offered to come to Lake Norman to cater our smaller event. Tori of Sage and Spice has a background in wedding planning and offered to essentially be our wedding planner for the day. She even came to the site a day early to help us scope out the ceremony and reception space. She asked for no additional compensation. She handled countless details - too many to list here. Anything we asked, she and her staff were happy to help. To top it off, the food was truly phenomenal! We are indebted to Tori and S&S for going above and beyond to help make our event a beautiful, memorable one. 10 out of 10!

Amazing Caterer!
I am a wedding planner and was able to work with Sage & Spice on a wedding at JuneBug in Asheville and they were FANTASTIC. They were so on top of communication throughout the planning process, on wedding day they were on top of things and so efficient and the food was soooo good. Highly recommend!
