At Willow and Sage Catering in Rumson, NJ, we believe every couple deserves a wedding celebration as unique as their love story. Our personal approach begins with getting to know you, your favorite flavors, style preferences, family traditions, and special moments that matter most. We then craft a completely customized experience that reflects your personality at every turn.

Wedding catering in Rumson with a personal touch means creating menus, event designs, and services that reflect each couple’s story. From honoring family recipes and cultural traditions to tailoring décor, seating, and dietary needs, the experience is fully customized, ensuring every detail feels meaningful and connected to the couple’s vision.

How We Add Personal Touches Throughout Your Day

In Your Menu We don’t just cater, we create culinary experiences that tell your story. Whether that means incorporating your grandmother’s signature appetizer recipe, featuring dishes from your first date restaurant, or creating a dessert bar inspired by your shared love of international travels.

In Your Event Design

• Farmhouse tables arranged to encourage the conversations you want
• Lighting designed to highlight your most important moments
