Seedling & Sage Catering

verything ran smoothly and went on time. Watching them with their walkie talkies and communicating was like watching the secret service! They are wonderful and the FOOD is SOOOO good!! I also recommend the bamboo place settings! As a garden wedding, they just further added to the elegance of having an outside woodsy wedding :) Affordable for those financing their own wedding as well.

ay by the food -- Andreas and his team cooked ~80 filet mignons to utter perfection -- and the incredible professionalism of all the staff. Their wedding package provides a coordinator as well, and Sarah was a dream to work with. She has so much knowledge about event planning and weddings. The day couldn't have run as smoothly without her. The biggest thank you to everyone at Seedling and Sage for making our dream wedding come true <3

est day possible. My wife and I were were terribly nervous about all the things that could go wrong on our wedding day, but Monica Auman was a godsend- answering every question and stopping every potential problem right away. She is communicative and organized, and took away so much of our stress through her kindness and problem-solving. If you hire Seedling and Sage you are not only getting an amazing catering experience, but also a team of professionals that will make sure your special day goes smoothly! If we could do it again, we would hire S&S again without hesitations! They went far above and beyond what is expected of a caterer, and we are so grateful! One small example of this is regarding our wedding cake. We ordered a small cake on our wedding day for photos. It was apparently smushed in the transport by one of our family members. I say apparently because I had no idea until afterwards- Monica took care of it. She painstakingly re-assembled the cake behind the scenes and did not bother us or worry us on our big day. This cake was not even from Seedling and Sage. While other vendors may have simply said "not my cake, not my problem", Monica stepped up and saved a big moment for us. There were so many stories like this- over and over Monica and her team saving the day.

was a joy. Can’t thank them enough for everything! 

Erin was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, responsive, organized, and a pleasure to work with. She made everything feel seamless and stress-free on such an important day. We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience and highly recommend them!

onsive & courteous. All worked together to make a memorable evening picture for our event.

as great as well! Overall, Seedling & Sage made our wedding so great!

essional and answered all of our questions. Our wedding guests raved about the food options.  Maria even went out of her way on the wedding day to calm my nerves. She goes above and beyond for her clients and we couldn’t have picked a better caterer for our day! Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed! 

ll the reception was a huge success!

onica was readily available to answer questions and assist in anything that we needed. We had so many guests come up to us and say it was the best wedding food they have ever had and we couldn't agree more! If your looking for a catering company that cares, takes time to listen to your wants, and makes the day run smooth - look no further than Seeding & Sage! 

ur guests—but they were truly there for us every step of the way and made the whole day run so smoothly. I’m so glad Seedling & Sage was a part of our special day!

or my daughter's wedding.  From start to finish, everything was flawless. The food was absolutely delicious — we received countless compliments from our guests.  Each dish was not only bursting with flavor but also artfully presented, adding a touch of elegance to the entire evening. The team’s professionalism and attentiveness ensured the event flowed seamlessly and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of the wedding.  We were especially grateful for Annette's guidance and thoughtful suggestions throughout the planning process.  Thank you again for playing such an important role in making Meghan and John’s special day so memorable!

and professional! It was a smooth experience and I felt listened to throughout the whole process!

me through the venue to show me how things would be set up. They guided me through the many food choices offered to make the event amazing. Everyone loved the food, the food choices and the service was outstanding A big Thank You to Amber at Lockwood Manor, Erin,Monika and the rest of the crew at Seedlings and Sage for making everything perfect

es and cocktail hour spread were also a huge hit—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully displayed. The team played such an important role in making our day feel truly special. Their service was professional, attentive, and every detail was handled with care and precision. We wholeheartedly recommend Seedling & Sage to any future couple looking for amazing food and seamless service on their big day! 05/31/2025

food is standard in quality for banquet food. However, there were several off-putting aspects of our experience working with them. First, we had to constantly be on top of our assigned planner to set up meetings and correct several errors in our BEO despite several emails with clear instructions on selections and preferences. Second, we paid them $300 to set up a ceremony table for us (with photo and video instructions), and they in turn made my mom not only set up the whole thing without help, but also clean it up afterwards; this was so disrespectful towards my mom and a complete waste of money. This led to the entire reception falling massively behind schedule as my mom was late for her dance with us. Third, they were not timely with serving food and desserts to our guests. There was a period of time where only one side of the reception tent had received their entrees and the other half had nothing on their tables; even our photographers noticed and commented on how disorganized it was. After our cake cutting, we had given them instructions to take the cake back and cut it to serve to guests. This did not happen until after the dance floor opened up, the cake had been sitting out for a long period of time, and I finally grew restless and went to the back kitchen to ask staff to take it back for cutting and serving. And fourth, they tried to send an email to us a few weeks before our wedding stating that they were changing their gratuity policy and were going to increase the charges for our wedding despite a previously signed contract stating otherwise. We had to threaten legal action and get the Morris Arboretum team involved for them to abide by our original contract. Overall, an unpleasant experience with this catering company and I cannot in good faith recommend them.

before our wedding date. Omar and Cathy served us personally throughout our wedding night, getting us our dinner, our drinks, and helping us cut our wedding cake correctly. I loved working with them, and I'd highly recommend Seedling & Sage for anyone with dietary restrictions, too! They are super accommodating and knowledgeable about dietary needs. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

ovided exceptional service. Working with Annette was an absolute pleasure -- she gave us a thorough overview of everything we needed to know and remained a valuable resource throughout the months leading up to the wedding. We met with her multiple times to go over our menu and timeline, and she even helped connect us with a representative at Party Rental LTD to finalize our table settings. On the day of the wedding, the Seedling and Sage team was incredibly professional and provided outstanding service. The food was phenomenal, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. The team also ensured we had a sampling platter of all the passed hors d'oeuvres and mini desserts, which was such a thoughtful touch. We were beyond pleased with the service and are so grateful we chose Seedling and Sage for our special day.

advice and considerations to help me make the best choices for my vision. Through each call, her attention to the details I cared about (and even the ones I didn’t think I knew I cared about) made me so confident in her and the team’s ability to execute my vision (guests are still raving about the short rib). I highly recommend Maria for bringing my vision to life and to my incredible day-of team. Thank you!

rd Estate. Not only were they incredibly accommodating about us living out of state and needing some additional flex around things, but the food was amazing, the staff on the wedding day could not have been kinder, and our Sales Manager - Annette - was TRULY A GIFT during all of the madness of wedding planning. I want to say I emailed Annette approximately one million times with everything from very small, mildly insane questions, to big concerns or stressers. She always responded within a few hours, always made sure to reassure me that I was NOT being a bridezilla, and was so kind and accommodating and helpful. I truly cannot recommend this company enough (as would all of our wedding quests who had a fantastic time!). They really are the best!

oughout the wedding planning process (mind you, this is coming from a type-A bride!), but the day of my wedding could not have gone better. My guests were raving about the food and staff was kind, professional, and on schedule. I would 10/10 recommend!

LOT of, probably too many, questions). Our wedding happened to be the same weekend as the Arboretum's Moonlight and Roses Gala, and we ended up booking the Big Tent from that event late in the planning game. Maggie was super helpful with coordinating the extra rentals we would need and designing a floor plan and rain plan for that new space. Maggie and the team did an amazing job with organizing all of the small details for big day. During the wedding, the staff were amazing, the food was excellent, and everything went so smoothly. Our guests especially loved the Philly Pharewell at the end of the night.

e all of the hard work from Maggie and the team to pull everything together, especially since it rained for almost the entire day, impacting our ceremony and cocktail hour -- they made it all so seamless. They had everything setup for the outdoor ceremony in those conditions and hustled for hours prior to make sure everything was in place. Further, their staff was very courteous and helpful; moments after the ceremony, a member of their crew was with us in the light rain with a plate of cocktail hour food, making sure we had our fill as we made the rounds with friends and family. Our guests unanimously agreed the entire day was amazing, from the food to the decor to the service! Highly recommend the Seedling & Sage team for your wedding, and any catered event.

gured if they can make a fully vegan wedding, they can definitely handle fish and chicken, and they certainly can. The food was the best we've ever had at a wedding and the service was top notch. Our vegan/vegetarian friends said the black bean enchiladas were the best entree they'd ever had at a wedding. It was the best night of our lives and Seeding and Sage played a big role in making it special. Maria was our point of contact and she did a great job with customizing our menu and scheduling a private tasting since we couldn't attend the regularly scheduled one. Definitely get the tartlets.

e team was the right partner for the kind of wedding we were going for - warm, family focused, chill. Annette and her team were very accommodating throughout the process. We had a couple requests - unique salad and using no seed oils in the kitchen - and the S+S executed everything so well! Communication was so easy - this is the budget - here are the options - clear calendar on when all decisions must be made I would highly recommend S+S, everyone loved the food, table scapes, and service. I personally loved the communication, honesty in pricing/budget, and execution of the vision.

appetizer displays were beautiful and the slider bar choices were outstanding. Our guests were very pleased. Be sure to order the chocolate mousse shooters for dessert. You will not be disappointed!

From the first tasting to the last bite, they exceeded our expectations. The planning process was a breeze with Annette’s help. She worked closely with us to design a personalized menu that perfectly reflected our tastes and preferences. Her attention to detail and creativity resulted in a beautifully decorated atmosphere. On the big day, the entire team displayed the utmost professionalism and efficiency. They seamlessly coordinated the setup and ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on enjoying our wedding without any worries. The presentation of the food was both visually stunning and appetizing. We were particularly impressed with Seedling and Sage's commitment to using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, which elevated the quality and taste of the dishes even further. The use of seasonal produce added a delightful touch, and our guests appreciated the farm-to-table experience (my favorite corn on the cob, was our seasonal side). The staff members were courteous, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that all our guests were well taken care of. The level of service they provided truly made our wedding reception feel like an intimate and extravagant dining affair. Seedling and Sage undoubtedly contributed to the overall success of our backyard wedding, leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. If you're looking for a catering company that will elevate your wedding with an exceptional dining experience, we wholeheartedly recommend Seedling and Sage. Thank you, Seedling and Sage, for making our wedding a truly delicious and memorable experience!

e to accommodate our request with only 3 months notice and that everything turned out so well. Thanks again!

he club was on point!! I highly recommend Seedling and sage!

I have heard stories of how the B+G don't get to eat the food, we did! Couldn't recommend them enough, if you have an event that needs catering you won't be disappointed by Maggie and the team at Seedling and Sage.

run to the Dunkin' to provide it. They charge WAY too much money and are not worth it.

t the customer service they provide is unmatched. We got married in the Fall at the Morris Arboretum and our wedding planner from Seedling and Sage, Maggie, was an absolute gem. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything for our very special day was perfect. We unfortunately had the challenge of rain on our wedding day and Seedling and Sage was able to turn our entire outdoor ceremony/cocktail hour into an amazingly beautiful indoor event. Because of them we got to enjoy our wedding day and we were able to easily manage all stressors with their expert help. I can’t imagine my wedding day without them.

communication, she even came out to do a site visit before the wedding to understand the space and our vision for the day. She was so friendly, helpful, and really wanted to make our day tailored to us. She worked with the chef to make a couple of changes to the menu to accommodate our tastes and she helped me pick out the most beautiful place settings and linens that made the whole room shine and feel extra special! We have heard from multiple guests how great the food was - from the appetizers to the entrees - everything was delicious. But even beyond the food, with the multiple months of preparation and organization that goes into planning a wedding, having a caterer like Seedling and Sage by your side to make you feel confident that the food will be amazing, you haven't forgotten anything, and the day will run smoothly, was the biggest blessing of all. I went into my wedding day at ease, because I knew it was going to be great, but it was even better than expected. I can't thank Annette and her entire team enough!

ad no worries whatsoever!! I received numerous compliments on the food and the set up as well. The staff was terrific and handled everything so we had no worries on her special day! Seedling and Sage I highly recommend!

day she made it happen, the food was out of this world my guests couldn't stop talking about it all! Definitely consider bringing them on for any event!

r Annette was a pleasure to work with and extremely helpful when it came to choosing the perfect menu. I could not be happier with how the day turned out! Look no further and book them now, I promise you won't regret it!

d us through our never ending questions... Team captain Ann and her assistant Michelle were on point and regularly touched base throughout the entire evening, and the food was beyond fabulous...fresh and delicious. All of our guests were so very impressed. Thank you Monica and the entire Seedling & Sage team.

edling & Sage! Communication with Maggie and the team was consistently excellent. They saw our vision, immediately, and offered their ideas on how to make it happen. Maggie walked the site with us, more than once, and gave us tips and her own ideas on how the setting could be arranged. Her suggestions MADE the party. Our guests raved at all the little details. And--oh!--the food and its presentation! So delicious! Perfect for our dietary needs and those of our guests--so accommodating and helpfully labeled! The staff was UNBELIEVEABLE. So friendly and helpful to all. We could NOT thank everyone enough and we are so grateful for helping us on such a magical day.

lanning process. Their chefs were able to make Indian food, along with an incredible selection of standard American fare, for our guests and people are still raving about it! They were also fantastic with all allergies and made sure that our guests with dietary restrictions still enjoyed the evening. The portions were large, the staff was incredibly attentive, and the day went smoothly all because of them. Maggie was always ready to step in to help during the planning process and on the day of! Our guests also loved the bar tenders and the serving staff who really made the night fun and flawless! Hire them now!

ite visits to ensure everything was set and we wouldn't run into any issues. They were very personable and friendly, making it an even better experience for us. We have heard from over half our guests saying it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. 100% will be using them in the future. I will write another review with photos of how great the cocktail hour food was and dinner, once I have photos from our photographer. The presentation was amazing!! TEN STARS!!!
