Let’s pull back the curtain for a sec, because full-service means more than just showing up with food. Here’s a peek at what happens behind the scenes at a Willow & Sage event:

⏰ We arrive hours before to set the stage
🍽️ We coordinate all rentals including tables, linens, china, bars
👩‍💼 Our team manages timeline flow and vendor communication
🍸 We style the bar, polish the glasses, and prep every detail
🧼 We stay through the end to clean up and leave your space looking better than we found it

It’s all about making things seamless, so you can actually enjoy your event.

Choosing a caterer isn’t just about the menu, it’s about finding a team who can bring your entire event to life. Here are three key things we recommend looking for:

✅ Service style pptions: Do they offer the flexibility to match your vibe like plated, buffet, stations, or cocktail-style?

✅ Full-service support: Will they handle rentals, timeline planning, and setup? (We do. ✨)

✅ Experience with your venue type: Whether it's a tented wedding, private home, or large-scale venue, you want a team who knows the logistics inside and out.

Ask the right questions, and trust the pros who see the big picture.

🥂 Client FAQ: Do you offer tastings?

Yes, we absolutely offer tastings (and it’s one of our favorite parts of the planning process). 😍 Tastings are your chance to experience our food, meet the team, and start refining your menu based on your vision, season, and preferences.

What to expect:
✨ A generous sample of hors d’oeuvres, entrées, and sides
✨ Time to ask questions and discuss your service style
✨ Personalized recommendations based on your venue + guest list

You’ll leave full and even more excited for the big day!

People may not remember every song on the playlist, but they’ll definitely remember how they felt (and what they ate). 💫

We believe an exceptional guest experience is about more than food. It’s about how it’s served, how the space feel, how your guests are welcomed, seen, and cared for throughout the evening.

From beautifully styled plates to warm, professional service and intentional flow, we think of every touchpoint so your guests walk away saying, “That was incredible.”

You’ve probably asked your caterer about the menu, but here are a few important questions couples often forget to ask:

✔️ How many servers and bartenders will be onsite?
✔️ Do you handle table settings and rentals or do we need a separate vendor?
✔️ Do you provide a timeline for food service and help coordinate with other vendors?

At Willow & Sage, we’re here to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. (We even think about the things you haven’t thought of yet.) When in doubt, ask away. That’s what we’re here for!

There’s something undeniably special about a New Jersey backyard wedding. It’s intimate, it’s meaningful and when done right, it’s just as stunning (if not more!) than any traditional venue.

At Willow & Sage, we love when couples choose to celebrate at home. Why? Because backyard weddings give you the freedom to create a completely customized experience with the people you love, in a space that already means something to you. It’s personal, it’s flexible, and it allows you to celebrate in a way that feels uniquely you.

One of our recent favorites is the catering we put together for Kathleen & Nick’s New Jersey backyard wedding, featured on . Head to the blog post on our website to read all about it! 🔗 https://willowandsagecatering.com/2025/05/07/new-jersey-backyard-wedding-catering-kathleen-nick/

Tented weddings have our whole heart. There’s something magical about dining under canvas with candlelight flickering and a breeze coming through the sides. But they also take a little extra planning behind the scenes like floor plans, lighting, and kitchen setup.

The good news? We’ve done it all. From tented estates to backyard celebrations, we help transform open-air spaces into fully styled venues with beautiful rentals, seamless catering logistics, and full-service coordination from start to finish. If you're dreaming of an outdoor celebration, let’s make the tent part of the magic. 🌙

It’s the little things that guests remember...the perfectly folded napkin, the fresh herbs garnishing each plate, the way the bar signage matches the menu cards. ✨

We believe those subtle, thoughtful touches are what take your event from great to unforgettable. It’s not just about what’s served—it’s about how it all feels. From curated tablescapes to beautifully styled hors d’oeuvres, we love helping you create a celebration where every detail feels considered.
