Phenomenal!

We had the pleasure of working with Bartleby & Sage for our wedding, and I can't express how grateful we are for their exceptional service. From my very first call with Rachael (who we ended up working with to coordinate our wedding), it was very clear that she and the team genuinely cared about making our day special while trying to work with our budget. The tasting experience was a highlight! We sampled a variety of dishes, and every bite was amazing. My husband and I are big foodies and can sometimes be a critic so we were thoroughly impressed with the menu. The flavors were vibrant and unique, showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients.

Truly, everything from the food to the bar was excellent. Our guests RAVED about everything, specifically, the service! On the wedding day, Rachael went above and beyond. In my husband's words "Rachael was playing NO games on the wedding day!" She was such a joy to work with and made sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on celebrating. The staff was professional, attentive, and friendly, making sure that every guest felt taken care of. We would highly recommend B&S to anyone getting married in the NYC area. They truly make our wedding unforgettable.

Jenny, thank you so much for your kind words and your recommendation! It was so great to be a part of your day - no "games" were to be played! ;) It's so great to hear your guests' feedback and how enjoyed the food as much as you and your husband (!) did, too. CONGRATULATIONS!

Expectations FAR Exceeded

My Husband and I got married in September 2024 and partnered with Bartleby & Sage for catering and planning. At every single turn, our expectations were far exceeded. The attention to detail that Leslie and her team have is incredible. Leslie and her team have a unique ability to understand exactly what your vision is and bring it to life even better than you could have ever imagined. Leslie was incredibly responsive and assured me that no question or idea was to big or small. Over a month later, all of our guests are still raving about the food at our wedding.

Bartleby & Sage was a guiding light throughout our special day and we are forever grateful to have decided to work with Leslie and her team.

Bartleby & Sage's reply:

Hana, thank you so much for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to sit with you and Robert and create the day of your dreams together. You had a delicious lineup of hors d'oeuvres, too (hello, Deconstructed Elote with chile-lime spoon and Savory Beet Macaron...YUM!) So happy to hear your guests enjoyed themselves and the food. Congratulations again, wishing you and your husband (!) a lifetime of happinness!

We love B&S!

Bartleby & Sage exceeded our expectations at every turn. We first met with Rachael at their office for a tasting, and we immediately knew they were the ones to go with. The food was delicious and presented beautifully, and we were so at ease with Rachael, who answered all of our questions (even the ones we didn't know to ask!) Once we got underway with planning, Rachael was such a huge help--we consulted her about lighting, seating charts, ceremony timing-- you name it, she was game. Even when things got stressful at times, she kept a cool head and brought us back to earth.

Our guests absolutely raved about the food!! We had a family-style meal, which was so much fun and such a lovely communal experience. We especially loved the tomato risotto and lemon caper salmon. The catering staff made sure that we got to eat, too (which is easy to forget on the big day!) and made us feel so comfortable. The passed desserts were such a fun way to keep people fueled on the dance floor, and the bar was pouring great drinks all night.

Thank you so much to Rachael and everyone at B&S for helping create such an unforgettable and wonderful night. We would highly, highly recommend them to anyone!

Bartleby & Sage's reply:

Michaela! Thank you so much for your kind words. We were thrilled to be a part of your day. You and your husband (!) were so very kind and so easy to work with - it was our pleasure! (And, of course we made sure you ate the delicious options you picked for your wedding menu!) Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, thank you again!

Wonderful to work with and amazing food & staff

Leslie and her entire staff are incredible. She is the exclusive caterer for our venue, the Wainwright House, and also served as the venue coordinator. She made planning the entire day an absolute breeze and was always responsive and on top of details. She is also clearly very experience and just a wonderful person to work with - I really trusted her and all the advice she gave. It was clear she wanted our day to be the best it could be.

My husband was also impressed by how attentive the staff were to make sure our glasses were never empty, and we were always informed where we should be next. Highly recommend for any event you are planning!

Excellent Experience

Our experience with our caterer, Bartleby & Sage, was nothing short of extraordinary. From the first bite to the last crumb, their culinary creations left our guests raving and our taste buds dancing. The slow-braised short ribs were an absolute highlight of the evening - tender, flavorful, and simply divine. Working with Stacey Cervellino Thorp, our dedicated contact at Bartleby & Sage, (and our day-of coordinator) was an absolute pleasure. Stacey not only demonstrated impeccable professionalism but also brought an infectious energy and enthusiasm to the planning process. She went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our day was tailored to our preferences, encouraging creativity and offering valuable suggestions along the way. From our first meeting,...

She went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our day was tailored to our preferences, encouraging creativity and offering valuable suggestions along the way. From our first meeting, working with Stacey immediately felt like working with a good friend. And let's not forget about the pièce de résistance - our wedding cake, expertly crafted by Bartleby & Sage's talented pastry chef, Hans Baang. We presented Hans with a challenge of a cake flavor combination he hadn’t made before. The result was exquisite, and it was evident that Hans poured his heart and soul into creating a masterpiece that exceeded our wildest dreams. Our compliments extend beyond the outstanding food and service for our wedding; The Bartleby & Sage team also went above and beyond to establish a genuine personal connection with us. What truly amazed us was their continued support even after the event was over. It's rare to find a vendor who not only delivers exceptional service but also genuinely cares about their clients on a personal level. In summary, Bartleby & Sage exceeded all expectations and played a significant role in making our wedding day truly unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional cuisine, impeccable service, and a team that genuinely cares about making your event a success.

Bartleby & Sage's reply:

It was our honor and pleasure to be a part of your beautiful wedding and to help you bring your vision to life. (That was one of the most magical and joyous weddings I've worked on!) Thank you so much for the kind words and your recommendation. Wishing you both much happiness,

The best caterers, food, and service ever!

My husband and I hired Bartleby & Sage for our wedding and man were we blown away! Stacey coordinated everything for us and I mean everything. From helping us with the menu, tastings, rentals, and coordinating with all our vendors to make sure everything went according to plan. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped us stay within our budget and organize our day from beginning to end. The food Bartleby & Sage catered was out of this world. Some of our menu options were seafood paella, vegetable lasagna, and braised beef short ribs and the most delicious passed appetizers like ahi tuna tartare, edamame dumplings, empanadas, and others.

Absolute the best food and the best team!

When we say we are still dreaming about the food we had on our wedding day, neither of us are exaggerating!

Bartleby & Sage was hands down the best decision we made when planning our wedding. From the very start, it was an absolute breeze working with the entire team, including the absolute rock-star human that is Rachael, who we also worked with through Bartleby & Sage as our day-of-coordinator (though she provided SO much more than that!). Every part of working with this team was fun and enjoyable, two words that aren’t often heard when planning a wedding!

We are truly so lucky to have had her as a part of our day - couldn’t have done it without your magic, Rachael!

As for the food? Our friends and family are still messaging us saying that the food was literally the best they have ever had at a wedding. Many are saying it’s the best food they’ve ever had in their entire lives! The tasting was incredible and the food on the actual day was somehow even better?! Portions were plentiful and everything came out hot from the kitchen. The staff were amazing and kind the entire night, treating everyone like family.

Bartleby & Sage, you truly were a dream to work with and we are so so grateful for all you amazing work. Thank you eternally, we wish we could get married all over again with you!

Jamie, thank YOU for such an amazing recap of your epic day! (Swooning over these photos!) It was our pleasure to work with you and Hilary to create a magical day both of you and your guests. Rachael is a true all-star; thanks for recognizing her and our wonderful team. We are "eternally grateful" having the honor of being a part of this milestone and can't wait for the next. Congratulations again and again!

The best caterer you can hire for your wedding!

Hiring Bartleby & Sage as our caterer was by far and away one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the very start, Rachael was extremely responsive and flexible in working with us. Hiring Rachael for an add-on planning service is a must as well - it doesn't get better than her! From guiding us through the tasting process, rentals, and more, we couldn't have imagined going through this day with anyone else. Rachael really made all of our dreams come true and more! As an added bonus, if you want your guests to come away saying "this is the best food I've ever had at a wedding", then look no further and book Bartleby & Sage! We had countless amount of guests tell us that during and after the wedding. A++++++

Bartleby & Sage's reply:

Adam, thank you so much for the review and for allowing us to be a part of your big day. Rachael is simply wonderful - so glad she was able to be a part of making all your dreams come true. Thank you so much for the kind words, we are thrilled to hear everyone had a great time and enjoyed everything. Any upcoming events you (or your awesome guests) have ahead - count on us to assist!

Delicious cocktail hour food and professional staff!

We met Leslie through our wedding planners, Nomade Weddings and we are so grateful that we did! Leslie and her team provided the cocktail hour hors d'oeurves and staffed our wedding from start to finish since we decided to go with food trucks to serve the dinner. From the tasting, we knew we had made the right decision. Leslie was so accommodating to my husband's allergies (gluten and dairy) and spun up the most delicious bite-sized food. On the day of the wedding, the staff made sure that everything ran smoothly and that the tables were always cleared. Our guests would not stop raving about the arancini balls and lobster rolls! We are so appreciative of Leslie and her team, they made our wedding delicious!

Bartleby & Sage's reply:

We enjoyed working with you all so much. Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing some memories from your gorgeous day here, Rosie. We're so appreciative of YOU!

Professional and intuitive

We were incredibly impressed with the level of professionalism and knowledge Stacey and Leslie provided us. Our wedding was on a tight time frame and the two of them were completely unfazed by it. They never overwhelmed us, but also ensured that everything was being decided at the appropriate time. We loved their recommendations and - even more - we loved how the two of them seemed to understand what we were after and act on that. I'd recommend them to any friend in a heartbeat. Stacey and Leslie are rock stars!

Best wedding caterer ever- value, excellent food, creatiivity, flexible, supportive!

Bartley and Sage is literally the DREAM wedding caterer. Their food is incredible and creative. Everyone at my wedding said it was the best wedding food they ever had. The unbelievable food is just the beginning of what incredible service they provide.

I was married at the Wainwright house and worked directly with Leslie. Leslie is as kind and honest as she is organized and detail oriented. She is calm and confident, making me feel great the entire process. She was super helpful in guiding me with decisions around the wedding. She made the process as stress free (and FUN) as possible.

Our tasting was a complete blast! We were BLOWN away by the quality and creativity of the food compared to the other tasting we had been to. Our wedding was pescatarian, something Leslie ran with and created an amazing menu around. I wish Leslie had a restaurant that I could go to now that my wedding is over!

Leslie did not nickel and dime me, the way I felt with other caterers had which was SUCH a breath of fresh air. I think their pricing is INCREDIBLY fair for the quality and service they provide.

The day of my wedding it was raining on and off all day. Leslie was incredibly flexible and optimistic which was awesome.

In addition to the rave compliments about the food, I got a ton of compliments about the catering staff. This was something I never expected but nevertheless I still got a zillion compliments about the professionalism and excellence of the catering staff.

I do not believe a better wedding caterer exists and would 100% recommend them. I hope my sisters use them for their weddings!!

We hired Bartleby and Sage as our caterer and we had Rachael as our day-of coordinator. Let me just say that everything went the best possible way and we have no complaints or regrest. The food was a huge hit and Rachael made the day go so smoothly without any hiccups.
Our wedding was during the pandemic and they were very flexible with us changing our date and guest counts.
Highly recommend them!

Bartleby & Sage - Wedding Catering

When I think about the best thing about working with Leslie and the Bartleby and Sage team its almost impossible to rank order of what they did best. Needless to say having amazing tasting, quality food and drink at the wedding is high on the list, but additionally almost totally stress-free planning that is totally flexible (you want a bourbon cart, a craft beer bar and a carvel ice-cream cake...no problem) is up there too. Also what's the point of planning being easy and food bring great if the team working at our wedding on the night were not so great - the servers were fun, polite and so helpful and the kitchen team made sure everything ran so...

Its too hard to say one thing that makes Bartley & Sage so great so take my word for it, it would be hard to find a catering team that makes planning the wedding as fun and easy, lets you enjoy the wedding and not worry about anything and generates literally hundreds of comments from guests about the amazing food, huge and plentiful drink selection and awesome staff.

Hands down, the most consistent, best food

My fiancée and I asked for recommendations for our wedding at the Foundry. Three names came up and after three tastings, it was clear B&S was miles ahead of everyone else. We were looking for consistency, flavor, and what we saw as professionalism and Rachael and her team hit every mark. I’d like to be clear, the food is the best in the business. Aside from that, Rachael felt like an advocate for us. She was transparent with costs, rentals, and flexible with our needs. She walked us through how specific glassware/silverware add prestige but different cost/values to the wedding. She’s knowledgeable, kind, and professional and an excellent choice for whatever catering you’d need.

Bartleby & Sage's reply:

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're so happy to hear you loved the food and the service. Congratulations again!

Elegant, Stunning, Professional, Reliable, Delicious!!

Our experience with Bartleby & Sage was extraordinary; if we could give 10 stars we would. Our wedding on October 19 at the Wainwright House exceeded our expectations 10 fold. We tried to think of one thing we would change to improve the experience - and cannot. Leslie, Barbara and the team were consistently professional, available, kind, supportive and true professionals. When we mentioned to other vendors we were using them they always responded by saying that Leslie and her team are top notch, and they were. Our wedding was elegant, warm, and perfectly executed.

Our guests are STILL talking about the food and the elegance of the experience. We are both trained chefs (with high standards) and were incredibly impressed with the quality, preparation and presentation of the food, and Leslie's thoughtfulness and generosity. Our cake was stunning....and delicious. Leslie and her team handled situations with grace, professionalism and kindness, and created the exact experience we discussed with her. My sisters MIL told her that my sister had a great wedding, but this was the best she's ever attended. We heard that repeatedly. We cannot adequately express our appreciation and gratitude to the entire team for creating a beautiful and memorable experience for us and our guests that we are proud of and thoroughly enjoyed. They really helped create what will be some of our fondest and most meaningful lifelong memories. Thanks so much! Sabrina & Michael

Thank you, Sabrina and Michael, for such a heartfelt and glowing review! It means the world to us that we could play a part in creating the wedding of your dreams. To bring you delicious food and a beautiful presentation is especially meaningful—it's our love language! Thank you for recognizing the dedication we pour into every detail. We’re so thrilled that your guests are still raving about the experience and that we could help make lifelong memories for you and your loved ones.

Excellent Food & Planning Services - HIGHLY recommend

Working with Bartleby & Sage was a DREAM. Bartleby & Sage (Leslie, specifically) was our wedding planner, day-of coordinator, and caterer. Each step of the process was flawless.

On the food, Leslie, and Hans on desserts, curated an incredible menu. Bartleby & Sage really is not catering so much as a sit down dinner equal in quality to a restaurant meal. Their options are comprehensive, but they also love ideas and individualizing options. (We discussed some appetizers more specific to our hometowns) They hold a private tasting dinner for the couple and two guests, which is fun and delicious.

Working with Bartleby & Sage was a DREAM. Bartleby & Sage (Leslie, specifically) was our wedding planner, day-of coordinator, and caterer. Each step of the process was flawless.

On the food, Leslie, and Hans on desserts, curated an incredible menu. Bartleby & Sage really is not catering so much as a sit down dinner equal in quality to a restaurant meal. Their options are comprehensive, but they also love ideas and individualizing options. (We discussed some appetizers more specific to our hometowns) They hold a private tasting dinner for the couple and two guests, which is fun and delicious. Multiple people at our wedding commented that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. (The burrata! The macarons! The mini ice cream cones! The steak! It goes on). We were so impressed by the wedding menu that we asked Bartleby & Sage to also cater our departure brunch. The brunch food was likewise excellent and the options endless.

Leslie was so helpful throughout the planning process. She kept us on track, in budget, and was responsive throughout. She connected us with vendors who met all of our criteria (cost, aesthetic, quality) and also encouraged and helped us with vendors we found on our own. Bartleby & Sage also has a great online system for the seating chart and layout, which made final planning steps much less stressful.

Finally, the day of coordination was perfect. My husband and I did not have to worry about any logistics and truly enjoyed our wedding weekend. It was a stress-free weekend with no behind-the-scenes snafus; we were confident throughout in Leslie's management of the details and logistics.

A few months later and we're still glowing. We cannot recommend Bartleby & Sage enough!

Bartleby & Sage | Alex & Carolina's Wedding 2023

Bartleby & Sage is an amazing company led by Leslie Nilsson, who was a joy to work with. The team is way more than just a catering operation as they were immensely helpful to us throughout the entire process. We got married at the Wainwright House in Rye, New York on June 10th, 2023. We highly recommend the venue as well, it’s a beautiful place.

Let’s start with the food. The food was SO delicious, and there was so much on hand with nice portion sizes. We had many friends and family telling us it was the best food they have ever had at a Wedding. We also had a few special food requests given the Bride is...

Bartleby & Sage is an amazing company led by Leslie Nilsson, who was a joy to work with. The team is way more than just a catering operation as they were immensely helpful to us throughout the entire process. We got married at the Wainwright House in Rye, New York on June 10th, 2023. We highly recommend the venue as well, it’s a beautiful place.

Let’s start with the food. The food was SO delicious, and there was so much on hand with nice portion sizes. We had many friends and family telling us it was the best food they have ever had at a Wedding. We also had a few special food requests given the Bride is from Brazil and the Groom is Vegan, but they were easily incorporated into the menu. B&S made a special Risotto as one of our three main meals which had vegan cheese, and in addition to the standard baguettes for the table they made a popular bread from Brazil called Pao de Queijo (essentially cheesy bread). They also made a tasty Brazilian dessert called a Brigadeiro – the Brazilians said this one of the best they’ve ever had.

Now, onto the team. The staff’s performance was flawless, and they brought great energy throughout the entire Wedding. Leslie even brought more Brazilian staff for our big day, which was extra nice. Also worth noting that Leslie and her group serve as the day-of-planner, so they coordinated everything including our early morning prep, the Ceremony, and managed all of our vendors throughout the event. It was truly executed to perfection.

Pre-Wedding help was extraordinary. From day 1, Leslie basically served as a quasi-Wedding planner. She provided us with her top vendor recommendations (all groups they work with on a regular basis), which were also exceptional. She was extremely responsive by email and always willing to chat and make occasional trips to the venue with us. We actually didn’t hire a Wedding planner and did everything ourselves, but the process was made easier and more efficient with Leslie and her team.

Our Wedding was a magical day, and we are so grateful to Bartleby & Sage for being a huge part of it. Thank you to everyone who made our big day so perfect!!

Carolina and Alex, what a delight it was working with you! From creating a menu with some Brazilian elements to helping you realize your vision for the overall look of the wedding. It was truly spectacular. I’m gonna miss you - stay in touch.

Top Notch Wedding Caterer

Bartleby & Sage was the caterer on our wedding last August 5th at the Wainwright house. They provided the best hors d’oeuvres, dinner and desserts! I could not thank them enough for their great service from food planning, food tasting, cocktail hour, and reception. Leslie, the owner was very helpful in every way, she accommodated every little thing we asked. The servers and bartenders were very professional and made great drinks for our cocktail hour. Our first course was the burrata salad, everyone loved it! The main courses was amazing as well! Our wedding cake, it was made by Chef Hans, was the star of night!

They were really kind to make us a very one-of-a-kind cake, which is called Sansrival cake, tasted great and so happy that we were able to incorporate my country’s delicacy to our wedding day. I couldn’t thank them enough for this very kind gesture. We also had brunch the next day with omelet station and mimosas and the chefs and bartenders made our brunch experience top notch. The food was amazing! From pastries to omelets to bloody marys. Me, my family and guests have zero complaints about this company. They provided us amazing food and great service! Thank you Bartleby and Sage for the nice wedding experience!

Made our foodie dreams come true!

We’re so thankful to have chosen Bartleby & Sage to cater our wedding — they were amazing from start to end! We worked with Rachael, who was both super on top of everything and also super patient and willing to work with us to get things just right (even when we flip flopped a few times!).

My husband and I really wanted the drinks and food at our wedding to be memorable and different from cookie-cutter wedding fare, and B&S really delivered! Not only were their “standard” food options already unique and different from what we’ve experienced at other weddings (I mean… look at how pretty the salad was!), but they were also able to replicate some recipes...

Not only were their “standard” food options already unique and different from what we’ve experienced at other weddings (I mean… look at how pretty the salad was!), but they were also able to replicate some recipes that we provided of dishes from one of our favorite restaurants in San Francisco. We also loved their bar service, and how they offered a welcome drink of Prosecco to guests as they were arriving (something we haven't seen at other weddings!). Everything was also exceedingly delicious; we had multiple guests tell us how much they enjoyed the drinks and food.

All in all, we couldn’t be happier with Bartleby & Sage, and would highly recommend them!!

Beautiful, Outstanding Food

Everyone was completely blown away by our wedding food from Bartleby & Sage, it was beyond outstanding! Everything tasted delicious and the presentation of the food was beautiful, our salad looked like a piece of art! Several of our guests reached out after the event just to let us know how much they enjoyed the food. We would highly, highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Lauren. It was our pleasure to be a part of your gorgeous day and we're so happy to hear you enjoyed the food. We so appreciate your recommendation - here's to the next celebration!

Wedding Date 10/7/2022

We were very lucky to have found Bartleby & Sage for our wedding. We worked with Rachael from beginning to end and she was spectacular. We loved her so much that we also hired her as our day of coordinator (yet she helped us so much more than that single day). Most importantly, the food was amazing. When we went for our food tasting, we were blown away by how great it was. Then on the day of the wedding, we received tons of compliments from our guests saying how delicious the food was. Highly recommend!

Bartleby & Sage's reply:

We are lucky to work with wonderful people like you, Yuna! Thank you for your kind words and compliments - everything was simply stunning and we're so thrilled to hear everyone enjoyed your menu. We're ready for your next event but until then, CONGRATULATIONS!

Look no further! Absolutely amazing

We really cannot recommend Bartleby & Sage enough! We recently had our wedding at The Bordone LIC. My wife and I consider ourselves foodies, as do a lot of our family members. This is why it was very important for us to pick the best! We did a few tastings with other caterers, and no one compared. They made us feel welcomed from the minute we sat down. The food was absolutely incredible all night. Our guests are still talking about the food and how delicious everything was. Especially the steak, which we heard multiple times that you did not even need a knife. We also hired Stacey as our day of coordinator, which does not do what she...

She was with us every step of the way. Our best decision was hiring Stacey and Barleby & Sage for our wedding. Do not look any further, because they are the best!!!! They will go above and beyond for you and provide the best wedding food and service your guests have ever had.

Bartleby & Sage's reply:

Morgan, we are so thrilled to have been part of your beautiful day! Stacey is a true rockstar, and it's great to hear she elevated such a special milestone event for you and Danielle. Your kind words are so very much appreciated, thanks so much for sharing!
