People are talking!

Liz,

Just got back from vacation where Patti & I sat on the beach and more than a couple of times over the 7 days reflected on what an outstanding party Sage catered for us.
We came to you after remembering how good the food was at one of your other events, this we expected.

However, what we were further delighted with was the attention given the planning of our relatively small event (45 people).  Darby did an outstanding job helping us through this process, listening and suggesting just the right things.
The staff you sent to set up (including yourself!) arrived on time and had everything under control from go.

The entire staff performed admirably (I want the same people at our next event - oh yeah there will be a couple of next events) - they were professional yet personable and truly added to the whole ambiance of the party.

Oh yeah, the food, actually it was better than expected.  We were at another affair last night where a mutual acquaintance was still raving about out fare.

Thanks again.

Hi Greg -

The party was a BIG success and Pat and Curran did an amazing job. Everyone loved the food and the presentation and I especially loved being a guest at my own party and not having to worry about a thing. We are very pleased - my kitchen was left perfect and we have enough brie and wine left over to have another party tomorrow night!

Thanks again for a great job,

Greg, Liz and the Sage Catering Staff:

Alexandra and I wanted to take a minute to thank you all sincerely for helping make our day at Welkinweir absolutely perfect.

We just received our pictures a couple weeks ago, and were able to look back and notice not only how great the food looked, but also that all the details were simply perfect.

Since the wedding, we have been getting comments from everyone in attendance. The consensus is that the food was excellent! Several people have told us it is the best wedding food they have ever had, and several more have said that it didn't even seem like "wedding food."

Everything went so well, and all the details were taken care of so Alex and I didn't have to worry about anything besides getting married. Greg and Liz, you listened to our vision for the wedding from day one, and were able to created everything we discussed down to the smallest detail. That kind of service is hard to come by.

Please feel free to use us as a reference. Our expectations were surpassed. We absolutely recommend Sage Catering.

Sincerely,
Andrew & Alexandra Walter

Dear Greg and Liz,

Kathy and I thank you for all of your creative, fun and exciting service. We could not have planned or imagined a better wedding reception. Sage Catering is absolutely the best. Greg, you are a true talent. Liz, you directed us from start to finish, assuring us only the best.

Thank you for all of your thoughtfulness, time and most of all, understanding our needs! Every guest mentioned the food, the display, and their fullness because they loved and raved on and on and on...

I wish Sage Catering only the best success, today and through the years. Your staff was very helpful and knowledgeable and coached very well.

Thank you again-we love you both!

Sincerely,
John and Kathy Lamb

How does one say "truly spectacular performance" without it sounding trite or hollow? Words sometimes limit our abilities to communicate our true feelings when expectations have been so thoroughly exceeded.
 
There wasn't an aspect of how you handled my annual event that wasn't handled with punctuality, professionalism, attention to detail, or creativity. From our first meeting to the clean-up at the end of the event, everything was as advertised, and more. Your choice of menu was creative and perfect for the theme of the event. The culinary results drew rave reviews from absolutely everyone. Your staff was courteous, professional, and competent.
 
In short, Sage Catering will be the only company I call for future events, and if you ever need a recommendation, please have any potential clients contact me. They need to hear how pleased I am. You made me look very, very good.
Thanks again to both of you.
Sincerely,

Greg and Liz:
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Your team performed extraordinarily "above and beyond" in the sweltering heat on Saturday. Whatever you do to train your team of coordinators, servers, bartenders, you do very, very well.  We were immensely impressed with everything:  from the party coordination (Pat needs a pedestal to stand on when he claims his gold medal), to the food (kudos to the chefs - people raved), to the behavior of the food and liquor servers (extremely polite and efficient in less than ideal temperatures).  Your part in our son's wedding could not have been more perfect and we will highly recommend your business to everyone we know for future event planning.
 
Sincerely,

Hi Greg,Liz, and Darby,
I have not been able to write to you because I have been too emotional!!!
EVERYTHING was FANTASTIC!!! Thank you sooo much for making Abbey's wedding day so special! She worked so hard on every detail(and so did I) but I was so proud of Abbey.

The food was wonderful even though I was so busy socializing that I missed some of the appetizers. I did have a bunch of the lamb chops and they were really good. That was one I had requested.

The tent looked absolutely beautiful! It was just how I had envisioned it. I have been sent a lot of pictures and the tent looks so pretty in all of the pics. Thanks for making it happen!!! The service was great and all of the people were so helpful.
Thanks to everyone for making our "little girl's" special day so spectacular!!! Abbey and Dave were so happy and had a ball!!!! They are both so happy and that makes us just beam.
 
Love
Susan Taylor
P. S. They are loving Hawaii and have sent pics. already

Hi Greg and Liz,
I just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic day!!!!!  You and your staff were unbelievable.  The food was scrumptious and you helped to make Benji’s Bar Mitzvah a cherished memory for a lifetime.  Our guests raved about the food and courteous service. 
 
I felt completely at ease knowing that you would take care of all of the details.  Please feel free to use me as a reference.  I will be honored to share our total satisfaction.  As soon as we pick a date for our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, you will be the very next phone call.
 
Warm regards,

Dear Greg,
I don't know how you do it! Just when I think you couldn't possibly outdo yourself, you incredibly pull it off.

In the past, Michael and I have been disappointed when revisiting a certain place or returning to a special restaurant. We've often said "we don't like to return to the scene of the crime"...meaning that in an attempt to repeat a pleasant experience, our heightened expectations left us with a feeling of disappointment. We preferred being left with the pleasant memory rather than risking the feeling of dissatisfaction.

We were so delighted with your catering the first time we used you, that I didn't even question myself whether I'd use you again. It was just a question of "could it be any better?". When I got the proposal my mouth started watering. The menu was so tantalizing and so different from before, except for a few signature dishes (that I would have pleaded to repeat anyway).

This party was so different for me because it wasn't planned far in advance, I had multiple health issues to deal with immediately before it, and although I usually like to control things, I left everything up to you. You were amazing. You handled every single thing from choosing the venue, the linens, the flowers, not to mention the incredible food selection and display. And through it all insisted (gently) that I not worry about a thing. You instilled a confidence in me that I rarely trust, and you didn't disappoint!!

I can't thank you enough. Your staff, including your "boss" Liz was wonderful. Darby was so sweet to me each time I called, that by the time I actually met her I felt like we were old friends. Thank you for working with us on the pricing and helping us to stay within a budget.

I can only think in superlatives when I think of you. You are simply...the BEST!!

Looking forward to next time,
Barbara and Michael Ayes

Dear Liz and Greg,
Thank you for a beautiful party for Allison's 1st birthday. Thank you for suggesting a wonderful menu and for taking care of all of the details. The food was delicious, and our friends are still complimenting you. As always, the presentation of your food displays and buffets are truely works of art.

It is always a pleasure working with you both, and we wish you much luck with Sage Catering. No doubt, with your "Culinary Wisdom" you will be a success.

Fondly,
