Sage Catering

My review for SAGE Catering begins like so many others, “Due to the coronavirus our original wedding date and venue were cancelled…”. When I had to scramble, I stumbled on SAGE not realizing that they were more than a catering business, but are actually event planners, too. My daughter’s big destination wedding in California was scaled back to an intimate ceremony and dinner in our suburban Main Line home and SAGE made it appear effortless and flawless. I’d never hosted a wedding before and Dana Twaddell provided the needed amount of direction, handling all the party rental ordering and delivery, giving decorating suggestions, even providing outdoor heat lamps. As for food, they swooped into the kitchen and produced one unbelievable dish after another. I heard so many compliments that night, from the hors d’ oeuvres to the salmon to the filet to the salads. Everything was fresh and delicious, especially the late night snack of guacamole and homemade chips. The wait staff were efficient, almost invisible, and kind — the bride felt special, but so did my niece when they specifically sought her out to make sure that her meal was dairy-free. :-) And Dana. Dana! As an event planner, she is the epitome of grace and calm. When she asked me about the champagne and I realized that I had forgotten to buy it, she didn’t even blink an eye. “No problem. We’ll just clear those flutes from the table.” :-)

I could go on, about how clean they left the kitchen and how they even played parking valets, shuffling cars in our driveway without being asked, but I’ll stop. Suffice it to say, that, in the end, I actually came to believe that they’re not really caterers, but are really more like magicians, creating a magical night we'll all remember.

Sage made our wedding day at Appleford literally flawless. I was floored the entire night at how wonderful and kind every single staff member was. I never had to ask for anything the entire night. We made our own decor and they made sure everything ended up where it was supposed to. We got countless compliments on both the quality of the food and the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. Worth every single penny and I am forever grateful to Sage for making the day so perfect.
