Jessica Sent on 11/11/2024Not 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 :)Sage and Spice Catering's reply:
You are amazing! Thank you for your kindness, wonderful flexibility, and sweet energy. It was great to be a part of your special day. XOXO -

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! -

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! -

Lyn S. Sent on 12/06/2023Rehearsal Dinner
Sage and Spice catered our son’s rehearsal dinner for about 40 people at our home. From the beginning to the end, Tori helped us with everything from organizing rentals, choosing a menu, serving guests, and cleaning up afterwards. She and her staff are knowledgeable, professional, and unflappable! Our guests commented on how delicious the food was and how friendly the servers were that night. The presentation was gorgeous—not your average wedding dinner buffet fare. My family loved Tori and her staff so much, they’ve asked about doing a cooking lesson or another catered dinner just so we can all hang out some more while enjoying delicious food. We will definitely be calling on their services again!Sage and Spice Catering's reply:
Thank you so much Lyn. We can't wait to work with you again. Your decor was gorgeous!! Thanks for the kind words and see you soon! -

Elizabeth Sent on 11/20/2023Amazing experience!!
We chose to work with Sage and Spice after reviewing several other catering options in Asheville area because of their professionalism, warmth, and variety of delicious sounding options. From our initial call with Tori, it was so easy to communicate our vision and feel like we were on the same page. We went with a buffet and passed appetizers consisting of upscale Southern/American food with some seasonal fall dishes. They made sure to make us both a plate so we didn't have to worry about getting our food during the cocktail hour or dinner. Tori and her staff did a great job during the wedding keeping the buffet line running smoothly, and quickly cleared the tables after dinner to make room for the dance floor. We are so grateful for all their hard work and for the delicious food!! Everyone was raving about it being the best wedding food they have had, and I'm a bit biased but I definitely agree!Sage and Spice Catering's reply:
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Your wedding was so pretty - the romantic vibe, awesome music, beautiful flowers - everything was so beautiful - well done! Thanks for choosing us and wishing you a lifetime of joy! :) -

Tori and her team at Sage and Spice were nothing short of incredible! From the beginning, they have always been super responsive and so easy to work with (not to mention the food was absolutely delicious but I could go on about that for days). They have endless options and are happy to tailor it to your needs. My husband’s aunt had several allergies and they were so good about accommodating that! I hope we can work with them again in the future, and highly recommend them!Sage and Spice Catering's reply:
Thank you so so much! We loved your wedding and rehearsal. You were so fun and easy to work with! :) I wish you could get married again so we can do it all again. :) Sending you and Spencer the best wishes for a life full of joy and laughter! -

Tristi Sent on 10/26/2023Wonderful experience with Sage and Spice for our wedding!!
Working with Sage and Spice was a joy! Even 5 months later, our wedding guests are still talking about how amazing our food was!! Could not be more pleased with how our wedding menu came together. Planning with the catering team was straight-forward, and our chef provided many incredible options for our menu. Highly recommend Sage and Spice catering for your wedding!Sage and Spice Catering's reply:
Tristi thank you so much for taking the time to review us. Chef Sergio and I greatly appreciate your kind words. We loved working with you! :) -

Barbara Sent on 11/21/2022Simply Amazing!
Tori and her team were AMAZING. You hear alot of people say things like "10 years from now, the last thing you're going to remember is what you ate at your wedding" but with Tori's menu she put together for us, I disagree!! The alfredo that was created haunts my dreams and it makes me sad it's not just a restaurant I can go eat at!! Also the most common compliment at the wedding was how delicious the food was. A common comment was "I've been to a lot of weddings and this food has to be the best I've had!". So overall, treat yourself a little on your special day and go with Sage and Spice. Communicating exactly what I wanted was a dream and Tori isn't afraid to get creative if you let her!Sage and Spice Catering's reply:
Thank you so much Barbara - you were so much fun to work with and I'm so happy you chose us! ;). Tori -

Beverly Sent on 10/01/2022A blessing to have such a fine catering that made our son’s wedding so memorable
Words cannot capture the delicous food that the guests were treated to at our son and new daughter in laws wedding reception!! All the food from tender seasoned kebabs, crispy polenta, fresh salad, veggies and more were was prepared and served with exquisite care and plated to perfection by cheerful servers. One of the delightful touches was the parting detail of small prepared take home gift packages of the most delicous crunchy tortilla chips and salsa neatly arranged on tables left for guests as they exited home. I especially appreciated the thoughtful staff who answered my inquiry of what went into making such tasty treats and am inspired to frying up homemade tortilla chips. What a cool mix of cuisine ranging from elegance to hipness! that including freshly baked assortment of donuts and mouthwatering tasty tortilla chips with salsa. My only regret ( I found out the next day when I saw my son the groom is that he and his lovely bride missed out on their take home own bag of those yummy chips and salsa which understandably would be last thing on their minds at the end of the most romantic milestone event of their lives! lol. Indeed I can hardly wait to fry my own batch of these unforgettable chips and making homemade salsa for our two newlyweds to keep alive the memory of their beautiful reception and delicious, exquisite catering:
Blessings and with deepest appreciation!

Andrew Sent on 04/28/2022Can I brag that our wedding had the best food ever?
Wowowowow! Tori and her team did an amazing job at our April 9th wedding. Tori was very direct with us and led our initial conversations, "It's your wedding. If you don't like something, we can change it." Tori's team was receptive to feedback and it made planning our wedding meal easy. We felt comfortable providing feedback and adjusting our menu until we found the perfect combination of food.
We opted for private dining on our wedding day. After an hour of photography, we entered our suite to discover an enormous feast with a sample of all the food provided to guests. So many couples say that they did not get to eat their wedding food, but I can say that we could try all of the food we ordered. We knew we liked the food from our initial tasting, but the food tasted even better on our wedding day.
All of our guests had glowing feedback for their meal and that they were stuffed! My husband and I are foodies and it truly was one of the best meals we've had at a wedding and one of our favorite meals in Asheville.
Thank you to the Sage & Space team for providing us with an incredibly delicious meal that we'll remember for our lifetime. We highly recommend Sage & Spice as your caterer. They were the best!Sage and Spice Catering's reply:
Dani! Y'all are the kind of couple that make this job so much fun! We LOVED your wedding and how much thought you put into food choices. Thanks for taking the time to review us! :) Tori -

Stephanie Sent on 04/27/2022Highly Recommend
Tori, one of the owners, was excellent to work with. Catering was very important to my daughter and son-in-law, so they made their caterer selection carefully. The caterer listened to what they envisioned, advised well, and everything was delicious. The staff professional and efficient. Very pleased!Sage and Spice Catering's reply:
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. It was fun to put together this menu with you and we enjoyed the whole process! :) Tori -

Elizabeth Sent on 11/16/2021Amazing and Delicious!!!
Carrasco Catering was absolutely awesome to work with! After tasting multiple vendors, we hired them for not only our wedding but for our rehearsal dinner too! They put together an entirely separate menu for the two events and even made space for us to rehearse at the same place where we had dinner (our venue wasn't available). The food is inventive, sophisticated, and most importantly, delicious! They do a great job of serving large groups and the food still tastes good when the last folks are served. Tori was amazing with communication and they were super flexible when it came to deciding on our menus and timing. I would highly recommend them!!! -

Sarah Sent on 11/14/2021Amazing Catering!!
I highly recommend Carrasco Catering! Our catering experience was fantastic! We were able to go and do a private tasting at their restaurant, received personal recommendations for our menu (that were AMAZING), and then the service on the day of our wedding was phenomenal! The food was fantastic and everyone talked about how absolutely wonderful everything was. Tori was so wonderful to work with and made sure we could have the catering we wanted within our budget. She was extremely responsive to emails and made the catering process a breeze. They had also worked at our venue before and grilled onsite. I cannot recommend them enough! If you are thinking about booking Carrasco Catering for your wedding - do it! -

Paola Sent on 10/26/2021Amazing caterer
I booked this caterer for my destination wedding before even doing a tasting because Tori was so responsive, knowledgeable, and flexible from the beginning. They will work on a custom menu for you and make it special. The pricing was reasonable and the food was delicious when we finally had our tasting with chef Ricardo. On the day of our event, the food was served on time, it was delicious, and their catering staff was on point. So grateful I found this caterer! -

Megan Sent on 10/19/2021Delicious and Unique Wedding Food
We knew we wanted something different for our wedding food and Carrasco DELIVERED! We met with them over a year in advance to plan the menu and they worked with us until a week before for final changes. We went with a charcuterie spread for appetizer hour which was BEAUTIFUL and 2 dinner stations. One with fajitas and street corn, the other with dumplings, fried rice, and bulgogi. Also don't sleep on the smoked salad - it has CHOCOLATE in it and was a huge hit. We tasted everything before putting it on the menu and they worked with us in changing the flavors for any notes we had. It was PERFECT and one of the top things talked about at our wedding! -

Shari Sent on 10/14/2021Amazing and unique caterer
We booked Carrasco before even tasting the food because we had such a good experience with Tori right off the bat, and I am so glad we did! My husband and I spent a long time living and traveling in Mexico and South America, and Carrasco arranged a delicious and unique menu with food from all our travels. The food was so delicious, and we got so many compliments from our friends and family. Tori was so responsive and helpful throughout the process, Chef Ricardo was awesome, and the staff that Carrasco provided for our wedding were amazing. We could not be happier with our choice to use Carrasco and definitely recommend them to others! -

I cannot recommend carrasco catering and specifically chef Santiago highly enough! Tori was incredibly helpful and responsive in setting up our catering service and chef Santiago created the most delicious food I’ve ever had at any wedding! We are so pleased with this vendor and recommend them to anyone looking for a knockout dinner for their wedding! -

Kelly Sent on 06/10/2021No better choice for a catering vendor!!!
My husband & I chose Carrasco as our caterer for our wedding upon the recommendation from our wedding venue, Chestnut Ridge. We had told them we wanted Lebanese food for the dinner & CR pointed us in their direction! We were not disappointed at ANY time! Our first call with Tori was so much fun. We bonded over the fact that all of us had lived in Asia, and Tori dreamed with us in creating our globally-inspired menu and gave us even more fun & creative ideas. She went above & beyond, pulling strings to work within our smaller budget without sacrificing any quality. We decided to do a tasting at their restaurant in Asheville & my husband and I both agreed- it was the best wedding food we'd ever had. More than doing their own job, they also recommended a new cake vendor to me when mine fell through shortly before the wedding. The new cake vendor was a perfect recommendation and I was so thankful Tori was able to send me their way! The day of, everything went perfect. Guests LOVED the food- even those that weren't as accustomed to ethnic dishes! They even brought food to James & I while we were taking photos during cocktail hour- they spoiled us & everything was delicious. They had food ready for us at our sweetheart table when we got to the reception and Tori even came over to "talk to us" (i.e. keep us looking occupied) once dinner started so we could get a few bites in. The Carrasco team was phenomenal and if you hire them for your event, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for everything!!!! - Kelly & James -

Taren Sent on 06/08/2021An absolute dream!
There are not enough good things to say about Carrasco Catering! I was originally scheduled to have my wedding on one of THE most coveted date of 2020, 10-10-2020! Tori not only ensured she was available on that day but set aside time a full year in advance to host a private tasting for my sister and I. Unfortunately, during Covid, and dealing with what many brides had to go through, I had to postpone the wedding till April 2021. Carrasco Catering didn’t have many dates available, but worked with me until I could find an appropriate date. It rained on my day but they worked around that produced an amazing product. They even managed to find a way to grill our steak even if it took multiple umbrellas. My guests raved about the food and not a single soul was disappointed. The staff/servers were fun, energetic, and attentive. If a delicious, eclectic, flavorful spread of food is what you desire, don’t hesitate to hire these guys.Sage and Spice Catering's reply:
Who says a little rain has to spoil all the fun! You were so fun to work with - and you did a great job flexing with all the changes of the past year(s!). Thanks again for choosing us and we do hope to see you again!

The whole team has an incredible talent for the culinary arts! Tori is a charcuterie wizard and Ricardo is a food genius! Everything was absolutely delicious and they were so sweet and easy to work with. I highly recommend this catering team!Sage and Spice Catering's reply:
You know how to get us feeling good with words like wizard and genius! We had so much fun with your wedding - and we are so glad that even though the date had to move we could still work with you. Thanks for always being smiling and exciting. We know you'll have an awesome marriage! :) -

Tori and Ricardo are amazing! You can tell they put their whole heart and soul into their food and service. We got married during Covid, and unfortunately, we couldn't use the first caterer we wanted. I found Tori on Wedding Wire and decided to message her our scenario and see if she could help. She called me back the same day and was extremely accomodating and helpful. We set up a tasting and discussed our menu very quickly, and she understood our timetable and knew we were on a short deadline. Ricardo totally built our menu from scratch and had so many ideas we didn't even think of. Our food was the talk of the night! Tori also offered to do our rehearsal dinner and took so much stress off my mother-in-law! I can't say enough good things about Tori and Ricardo. Their professionalism, care, and passion for food and people were felt the whole time we worked together. They saved our wedding day, and I am forever grateful for them!Sage and Spice Catering's reply:
Hannah! Thank you so much for the sweetest review. You and Steve and the whole family - both families - were so wonderful to work with. We appreciate you and wish you all the best in the most wonderful marriage. I have loved seeing the photos and hope you will keep in touch! - Tori -

Valerie Sent on 04/30/2021Tori and her team were the MVPs of our wedding!
Tori and her team were the MVPs of our wedding! The entire Carrasco Catering team was AMAZING to work with from start to finish - from menu planning to clean up! Planning a wedding during COVID times is complicated, and planning a menu for a bride with about 1000 food sensitivities is challenging - but Tori made it all look easy! I knew from the moment I first spoke with her about our needs that she had it all handled and I could breathe easy with her on my team. I cannot say enough good things about her! Every bride needs a Tori in their lives!
Lets talk about ABOVE AND BEYOND… Tori and her team made every effort to ensure we enjoyed our wedding day. I could cry tears of gratitude thinking of how special they made it for us! They knew what we needed before we even knew we did! They ensured I was served a drink during cocktail hour, when I was being pulled in every direction and couldn’t stop by the bar. They brought me a special tray of all of our appetizers prepared allergy friendly for me, so I could taste them all - even though I had only asked for one or two options to be made special for me and the rest to fit the needs of our guests. They knew my husband needed a “double plate,” you could see the excitement in his face when they arrived with a Groom sized portion of the meal! They helped out all of our other vendors as much as they could to ensure things ran smoothly. They interacted with our guests in the most friendly and professional manner! I wish I could take them all home with me. I will never plan a catered event without Carrasco Catering because I know nothing could ever compare!
The Carrasco team is everything you need in wedding caterers - they are professional and experienced, their menu options are mouth watering and top tier. Then somehow they do all that AND make you feel like family! -

Natalie Sent on 04/09/2021Amazing! Best decision ever!
Tori and her husband truly make an amazing team, along with the rest of their staff! Our wedding day truly would not have been the same if we hadn’t had chosen to work with them. Tori also did an amazing job as my wedding coordinator, she remained so calm no matter what happened (including my phone shattered and breaking the day before the wedding), and went all the extra miles to help me be as stress free as possible. She handles challenging situations with ease and grace. And now to talk about the food...if you don’t have a caterer yet look no further- they are AMAZING! We went with a southern menu that consisted of a biscuit bar, smoked salad, pulled pork, chipotle cheddar chicken, Brussels sprouts, potatoes and Macaroni and cheese. Everyone who went to the wedding is still coming up to me and telling me that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had!! They are also very budget friendly and willing to work with you. They include a bartender to serve beer and wine which was very nice, and he was such a fun guy who was always smiling! Overall, I would definitely book again for any future events. So thankful they were a part of our wedding day!
