Planning a wedding reception takes more than good taste. It takes a team that understands how to bring people together through food and hospitality. At Willow & Sage Catering, we combine exquisite cuisine with attentive service that reflects the high standards our team is known for. At Willow & Sage Catering, we take that responsibility to heart. From the first tasting at our kitchen in Rumson to the last slice of cake, our focus is to make your reception easy and full of warmth.
Willow & Sage Catering creates personalized wedding receptions in Rumson by offering expertly prepared dishes using local ingredients and providing attentive service. Their full-service offerings include menu customization, event coordination, and detailed decor, ensuring each reception is memorable and stress-free, with seamless execution from start to finish.
Food That Feels Personal
Our culinary team creates modern American dishes using fresh, local ingredients. Each menu is shaped around your preferences, from braised short ribs and roasted chicken to vegetable ratatouille or cauliflower steak. Every plate has a purpose and flavor, and each menu reflects the couple it’s made for.
We love creating dishes that invite guests to slow down and enjoy. A grazing table might greet guests with cheeses, fruits, and bruschetta, followed by entrées such as cod oreganata or filet mignon with mushrooms. Food this thoughtful turns a meal into a memory shared.
Service That Lets You Enjoy the Moment
From the planning process to the last course, we’re there to keep things simple and organized. Our event designers and hospitality team handle timelines, coordination, and flow. You can choose the service that fits your style, from plated dinners to buffets or chef-attended stations. Our staff knows that the best service feels natural. From bartenders to servers, everyone is trained to anticipate what guests need and to keep the energy comfortable throughout the night.
Details That Bring Everything Together
We go beyond simply preparing the meal to offer a complete event experience. Our full-service options include linens, china, farmhouse tables, and cocktail lounges. Floral and decor services are also available, so your tables and settings feel cohesive and personal. No two venues are alike, so our setups adapt to each space. From a ballroom to a tented garden in Monmouth County, we design the layout to match your vision and keep the celebration flowing.
