    We love B&S!

    Bartleby & Sage exceeded our expectations at every turn. We first met with Rachael at their office for a tasting, and we immediately knew they were the ones to go with. The food was delicious and presented beautifully, and we were so at ease with Rachael, who answered all of our questions (even the ones we didn't know to ask!) Once we got underway with planning, Rachael was such a huge help--we consulted her about lighting, seating charts, ceremony timing-- you name it, she was game. Even when things got stressful at times, she kept a cool head and brought us back to earth.

    Our guests absolutely raved about the food!! We had a family-style meal, which was so much fun and such a lovely communal experience. We especially loved the tomato risotto and lemon caper salmon. The catering staff made sure that we got to eat, too (which is easy to forget on the big day!) and made us feel so comfortable. The passed desserts were such a fun way to keep people fueled on the dance floor, and the bar was pouring great drinks all night.

    Thank you so much to Rachael and everyone at B&S for helping create such an unforgettable and wonderful night. We would highly, highly recommend them to anyone!

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    Michaela! Thank you so much for your kind words. We were thrilled to be a part of your day. You and your husband (!) were so very kind and so easy to work with - it was our pleasure! (And, of course we made sure you ate the delicious options you picked for your wedding menu!) Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, thank you again!

    Wonderful to work with and amazing food & staff

    Leslie and her entire staff are incredible. She is the exclusive caterer for our venue, the Wainwright House, and also served as the venue coordinator. She made planning the entire day an absolute breeze and was always responsive and on top of details. She is also clearly very experience and just a wonderful person to work with - I really trusted her and all the advice she gave. It was clear she wanted our day to be the best it could be. Everything from the food to setup was wonderful - my family and friends raved about the Tuscan table, the cake, and the food. One friend specifically said she always has low expectations for wedding food, but was surprised at how amazing the food was. My husband was also impressed by how attentive the staff were to make sure our glasses were never empty, and we were always informed where we should be next. Highly recommend for any event you are planning!

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    Jo - it was such a pleasure working with you and Tim, and we appreciate hearing the great comments about our food. I LOVED all the special touches you brought to the day, especially “May the fourth be with you”. Thank you also for sharing the pictures. Gorgeous!

    Top Notch Wedding Caterer

    Bartleby & Sage was the caterer on our wedding last August 5th at the Wainwright house. They provided the best hors d’oeuvres, dinner and desserts! I could not thank them enough for their great service from food planning, food tasting, cocktail hour, and reception. Leslie, the owner was very helpful in every way, she accommodated every little thing we asked. The servers and bartenders were very professional and made great drinks for our cocktail hour. Our first course was the burrata salad, everyone loved it! The main courses was amazing as well! Our wedding cake, it was made by Chef Hans, was the star of night! They were really kind to make us a very one-of-a-kind cake, which is called Sansrival cake, tasted great and so happy that we were able to incorporate my country’s delicacy to our wedding day. I couldn’t thank them enough for this very kind gesture. We also had brunch the next day with omelet station and mimosas and the chefs and bartenders made our brunch experience top notch. The food was amazing! From pastries to omelets to bloody marys. Me, my family and guests have zero complaints about this company. They provided us amazing food and great service! Thank you Bartleby and Sage for the nice wedding experience!

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    Raisa, thank you so much again. We loved working with you and making your wedding so customized. It's so wonderful to hear that everyone had such a terrific time! And your kids were adorable. Congratulations again!

    Bartleby & Sage | Alex & Carolina's Wedding 2023

    Bartleby & Sage is an amazing company led by Leslie Nilsson, who was a joy to work with. The team is way more than just a catering operation as they were immensely helpful to us throughout the entire process. We got married at the Wainwright House in Rye, New York on June 10th, 2023. We highly recommend the venue as well, it’s a beautiful place.

    Let’s start with the food. The food was SO delicious, and there was so much on hand with nice portion sizes. We had many friends and family telling us it was the best food they have ever had at a Wedding. We also had a few special food requests given the Bride is from Brazil and the Groom is Vegan, but they were easily incorporated into the menu. B&S made a special Risotto as one of our three main meals which had vegan cheese, and in addition to the standard baguettes for the table they made a popular bread from Brazil called Pao de Queijo (essentially cheesy bread). They also made a tasty Brazilian dessert called a Brigadeiro – the Brazilians said this one of the best they’ve ever had.

    Now, onto the team. The staff’s performance was flawless, and they brought great energy throughout the entire Wedding. Leslie even brought more Brazilian staff for our big day, which was extra nice. Also worth noting that Leslie and her group serve as the day-of-planner, so they coordinated everything including our early morning prep, the Ceremony, and managed all of our vendors throughout the event. It was truly executed to perfection.

    Pre-Wedding help was extraordinary. From day 1, Leslie basically served as a quasi-Wedding planner. She provided us with her top vendor recommendations (all groups they work with on a regular basis), which were also exceptional. She was extremely responsive by email and always willing to chat and make occasional trips to the venue with us. We actually didn’t hire a Wedding planner and did everything ourselves, but the process was made easier and more efficient with Leslie and her team.

    Our Wedding was a magical day, and we are so grateful to Bartleby & Sage for being a huge part of it. Thank you to everyone who made our big day so perfect!!

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    Carolina and Alex, what a delight it was working with you! From creating a menu with some Brazilian elements to helping you realize your vision for the overall look of the wedding. It was truly spectacular. I’m gonna miss you - stay in touch.

    Made our foodie dreams come true!

    We’re so thankful to have chosen Bartleby & Sage to cater our wedding — they were amazing from start to end! We worked with Rachael, who was both super on top of everything and also super patient and willing to work with us to get things just right (even when we flip flopped a few times!).

    My husband and I really wanted the drinks and food at our wedding to be memorable and different from cookie-cutter wedding fare, and B&S really delivered! Not only were their “standard” food options already unique and different from what we’ve experienced at other weddings (I mean… look at how pretty the salad was!), but they were also able to replicate some recipes that we provided of dishes from one of our favorite restaurants in San Francisco. We also loved their bar service, and how they offered a welcome drink of Prosecco to guests as they were arriving (something we haven't seen at other weddings!). Everything was also exceedingly delicious; we had multiple guests tell us how much they enjoyed the drinks and food.

    All in all, we couldn’t be happier with Bartleby & Sage, and would highly recommend them!!

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    Cynthia, it was such an honor to be a part of your wedding. Thank YOU! It was a blast to create your menu together - our entire team is now OBSESSED with the smoked trout dip. Thanks for the kind words and recommendation - congratulations again!

    The best caterers, food, and service ever!

    My husband and I hired Bartleby & Sage for our wedding and man were we blown away! Stacey coordinated everything for us and I mean everything. From helping us with the menu, tastings, rentals, and coordinating with all our vendors to make sure everything went according to plan. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped us stay within our budget and organize our day from beginning to end. The food Bartleby & Sage catered was out of this world. Some of our menu options were seafood paella, vegetable lasagna, and braised beef short ribs and the most delicious passed appetizers like ahi tuna tartare, edamame dumplings, empanadas, and others. The service was incredible. We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Bartleby & Sage and Stacey. We had so many of our guest come up to us saying it had been one of the best weddings with the best food they've ever been too! Forever grateful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    Thank you so much, Nataly and Rex. It was an absolute honor and a pleasure to be a part of your wedding day. Wishing you all the very best!

    Absolute the best food and the best team!

    When we say we are still dreaming about the food we had on our wedding day, neither of us are exaggerating!

    Bartleby & Sage was hands down the best decision we made when planning our wedding. From the very start, it was an absolute breeze working with the entire team, including the absolute rock-star human that is Rachael, who we also worked with through Bartleby & Sage as our day-of-coordinator (though she provided SO much more than that!). Every part of working with this team was fun and enjoyable, two words that aren’t often heard when planning a wedding! When it came time to make day-of decisions, Rachael was supportive and encouraging every step of the way. Her level-headedness and calm demeanor kept everything breezy, but still so exciting. We are truly so lucky to have had her as a part of our day - couldn’t have done it without your magic, Rachael!

    As for the food? Our friends and family are still messaging us saying that the food was literally the best they have ever had at a wedding. Many are saying it’s the best food they’ve ever had in their entire lives! The tasting was incredible and the food on the actual day was somehow even better?! Portions were plentiful and everything came out hot from the kitchen. The staff were amazing and kind the entire night, treating everyone like family.

    Bartleby & Sage, you truly were a dream to work with and we are so so grateful for all you amazing work. Thank you eternally, we wish we could get married all over again with you!

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    Jamie, thank YOU for such an amazing recap of your epic day! (Swooning over these photos!) It was our pleasure to work with you and Hilary to create a magical day both of you and your guests. Rachael is a true all-star; thanks for recognizing her and our wonderful team. We are "eternally grateful" having the honor of being a part of this milestone and can't wait for the next. Congratulations again and again!

    Wedding Date 10/7/2022

    We were very lucky to have found Bartleby & Sage for our wedding. We worked with Rachael from beginning to end and she was spectacular. We loved her so much that we also hired her as our day of coordinator (yet she helped us so much more than that single day). Most importantly, the food was amazing. When we went for our food tasting, we were blown away by how great it was. Then on the day of the wedding, we received tons of compliments from our guests saying how delicious the food was. Highly recommend!

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    We are lucky to work with wonderful people like you, Yuna! Thank you for your kind words and compliments - everything was simply stunning and we're so thrilled to hear everyone enjoyed your menu. We're ready for your next event but until then, CONGRATULATIONS!

    Beautiful, Outstanding Food

    Everyone was completely blown away by our wedding food from Bartleby & Sage, it was beyond outstanding! Everything tasted delicious and the presentation of the food was beautiful, our salad looked like a piece of art! Several of our guests reached out after the event just to let us know how much they enjoyed the food. We would highly, highly recommend!

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Lauren. It was our pleasure to be a part of your gorgeous day and we're so happy to hear you enjoyed the food. We so appreciate your recommendation - here's to the next celebration!

    Delicious cocktail hour food and professional staff!

    We met Leslie through our wedding planners, Nomade Weddings and we are so grateful that we did! Leslie and her team provided the cocktail hour hors d'oeurves and staffed our wedding from start to finish since we decided to go with food trucks to serve the dinner. From the tasting, we knew we had made the right decision. Leslie was so accommodating to my husband's allergies (gluten and dairy) and spun up the most delicious bite-sized food. On the day of the wedding, the staff made sure that everything ran smoothly and that the tables were always cleared. Our guests would not stop raving about the arancini balls and lobster rolls! We are so appreciative of Leslie and her team, they made our wedding delicious!

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    We enjoyed working with you all so much. Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing some memories from your gorgeous day here, Rosie. We're so appreciative of YOU!

    Look no further! Absolutely amazing

    We really cannot recommend Bartleby & Sage enough! We recently had our wedding at The Bordone LIC. My wife and I consider ourselves foodies, as do a lot of our family members. This is why it was very important for us to pick the best! We did a few tastings with other caterers, and no one compared. They made us feel welcomed from the minute we sat down. The food was absolutely incredible all night. Our guests are still talking about the food and how delicious everything was. Especially the steak, which we heard multiple times that you did not even need a knife. We also hired Stacey as our day of coordinator, which does not do what she did justice. She was with us every step of the way. Our best decision was hiring Stacey and Barleby & Sage for our wedding. Do not look any further, because they are the best!!!! They will go above and beyond for you and provide the best wedding food and service your guests have ever had.

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    Morgan, we are so thrilled to have been part of your beautiful day! Stacey is a true rockstar, and it's great to hear she elevated such a special milestone event for you and Danielle. Your kind words are so very much appreciated, thanks so much for sharing!

    The best caterer you can hire for your wedding!

    Hiring Bartleby & Sage as our caterer was by far and away one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the very start, Rachael was extremely responsive and flexible in working with us. Hiring Rachael for an add-on planning service is a must as well - it doesn't get better than her! From guiding us through the tasting process, rentals, and more, we couldn't have imagined going through this day with anyone else. Rachael really made all of our dreams come true and more! As an added bonus, if you want your guests to come away saying "this is the best food I've ever had at a wedding", then look no further and book Bartleby & Sage! We had countless amount of guests tell us that during and after the wedding. A++++++

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    Adam, thank you so much for the review and for allowing us to be a part of your big day. Rachael is simply wonderful - so glad she was able to be a part of making all your dreams come true. Thank you so much for the kind words, we are thrilled to hear everyone had a great time and enjoyed everything. Any upcoming events you (or your awesome guests) have ahead - count on us to assist!

    Fantastic Food and Service

    Bartleby & Sage was a great pick for our wedding catering! From our first tasting to our wedding day, we were so impressed by their food. Many of our guests also commented on how delicious the food was (which doesn't often happen at a wedding, especially with 165 guests). The food is also beautifully presented. The team was very accommodating of our needs and requests. The bride and members of her family have celiac disease and they were able to create so many delicious gluten free options! Overall, Stacey and the entire team were wonderful to work with and played an important part in our beautiful wedding day.

    A wonderful experience!

    We got married a couple of weeks ago and are still hearing about how fun, inventive and delicious the Bartleby & Sage food was at our wedding. We had a cocktail style event and their assortment of passed plates was exciting for our guests and certainly served as a form of entertainment. Guests are still raving about the s'mores and edible spoons! We also worked with Stacey as our day of coordinator. This is possibly one of the best decisions we made throughout our process. Stacey was not only calming and a steady rock for us through any challenging moments, but she is also hilarious and kind, always there to help in a graceful manner. She made the day of feel truly effortless for us and our families and we are so grateful for that peace of mind! We feel so fortunate to have worked with this team.

    Fantastic!

    Bartleby & Sage were a pleasure to work with and made our wedding very special. The food and service was excellent, they were clear in their pricing, flexible and delivered more than what they promised.

    Our wedding co-ordinator Stacey Thorp was absolutely magnificent and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She was a superstar.

    The New York wedding scene can be hard to navigate and a bit of a lottery. We feel lucky to have found them.

    Professional and intuitive

    We were incredibly impressed with the level of professionalism and knowledge Stacey and Leslie provided us. Our wedding was on a tight time frame and the two of them were completely unfazed by it. They never overwhelmed us, but also ensured that everything was being decided at the appropriate time. We loved their recommendations and - even more - we loved how the two of them seemed to understand what we were after and act on that. I'd recommend them to any friend in a heartbeat. Stacey and Leslie are rock stars!

    More amazing than we could’ve dreamt!

    I can’t even put into words how AMAZING Bartleby & Sage is to work with!! I was a covid bride so obviously went through lots of stress. Everyone was so amazing to work with, always problem solving & keeping us calm. They brought every vision I had to life and it was more beautiful than I could’ve ever imagined.

    The key ingredient to our perfect wedding

    Bartleby & Sage were truly integral to our wedding! From tastings to rental to day of to navigating COVID craziness, everything was so yummy, clearly communicated, and perfectly executed. Would recommend them to anyone in the NY area!

    Best wedding caterer ever- value, excellent food, creatiivity, flexible, supportive!

    Bartley and Sage is literally the DREAM wedding caterer. Their food is incredible and creative. Everyone at my wedding said it was the best wedding food they ever had. The unbelievable food is just the beginning of what incredible service they provide.

    I was married at the Wainwright house and worked directly with Leslie. Leslie is as kind and honest as she is organized and detail oriented. She is calm and confident, making me feel great the entire process. She was super helpful in guiding me with decisions around the wedding. She made the process as stress free (and FUN) as possible.

    Our tasting was a complete blast! We were BLOWN away by the quality and creativity of the food compared to the other tasting we had been to. Our wedding was pescatarian, something Leslie ran with and created an amazing menu around. I wish Leslie had a restaurant that I could go to now that my wedding is over!

    Leslie did not nickel and dime me, the way I felt with other caterers had which was SUCH a breath of fresh air. I think their pricing is INCREDIBLY fair for the quality and service they provide.

    The day of my wedding it was raining on and off all day. Leslie was incredibly flexible and optimistic which was awesome.

    In addition to the rave compliments about the food, I got a ton of compliments about the catering staff. This was something I never expected but nevertheless I still got a zillion compliments about the professionalism and excellence of the catering staff.

    I do not believe a better wedding caterer exists and would 100% recommend them. I hope my sisters use them for their weddings!!

    Justine, thank you so much! We loved being part of your wedding and we so appreciate your recommendation. Any upcoming events - whether personal or work-related - count on us to be there!

    Best. Decision. Made.

    At the outset, my wife and I were both naive about wedding planning, so of course, we thought the caterer just handled the food at the reception. What we soon came to realize as we started our search, is that the caterer handles much, much more than just simply the food. That being said, THE BEST decision we made during our wedding planning was hiring Bartleby and Sage to cater our wedding.

    Leslie’s knowledge and experience with putting together premium wedding packages, being intimately acquainted with the different venues in New York, particularly cultural institutions (we got married at the Museum of the City of New York), was extremely attractive to us, and thankfully showed up in the flawless execution of our event. She is also very easy to work with and extremely dependable as she leads with her professionalism.

    She also provides a fully interactive service for rental selection/coordination, which we greatly appreciated. She personally walked us through the rental showroom, offered her advice, and answered questions on the pieces we were choosing for our vision. She also helped us solidify our layout in the venue’s space so our day would run seamlessly, and be the best fit in our unique venue space.

    ...and finally, the food! The food was OUTSTANDING! We were blown away from the first tasting when Leslie captured our vision for a New Orleans and Caribbean-infused menu. Our guests loved it and are still raving about it. The chef’s are top notch, and our cake was so beautiful we didn’t even want to cut it. We were extremely pleased after doing so though, because that too was extremely delicious.

    To Leslie, Chef Ramon, and Han Solo, the creator of our glorious cake, THANK YOU for all that you did to make our day wonderfully memorable! You all were so delightful, friendly, and we are SO glad we had you on our team. We’re convinced the experience wouldn’t have been as wonderful without you. Again, BEST decision we made in this process outside of marrying each other! : )

    Bartleby & Sage's reply:

    Chester, hope all is well! Thank you for having us as part of your special day and for your kind words. Any upcoming festivities - whether personal or company-related - count on us to make it memorable!

    Best choice we could ever make

    We hired Bartleby and Sage as our caterer and we had Rachael as our day-of coordinator. Let me just say that everything went the best possible way and we have no complaints or regrest. The food was a huge hit and Rachael made the day go so smoothly without any hiccups.
    Our wedding was during the pandemic and they were very flexible with us changing our date and guest counts.
    Highly recommend them!

    Rachael, Day-of Coordinator

    Rachael, our Day-of-Coordinator, was an amazing professional through our initial and rescheduled (Covid) wedding event. She helped us select food, rentals, table decor with a good sense of value. At our event, she anticipated and addressed many issues and allowed us to enjoy every moment. She was the best! Deb

    Thank you so much for the review and shoutout, Deborah! We loved being part of your wedding and so thrilled to hear you enjoyed every moment. Any upcoming festivities - whether personal or business-related - count on us to be there!

    Absolutely delicious food

    We are so happy we chose Bartleby and Sage to cater our wedding. First off, the food was delicious. Among the hors d'oeuvres, some of the favorites were the deconstructed elote, lobster croquette, oyster, lamb burger, and duck taquito. We chose kale salad for the first course and the main entree was a choice between slow-roasted porchetta, pan-seared duck breast, or wild mushroom ravioli (veg). All of our guests were raving about how good everything tasted. They also made our wedding cake which was absolutely beautiful and delicious. Hats off to the chef Hans and the rest of the kitchen staff. We had an indoor bar and outdoor bar, fully open for the entire duration of the reception. We took recommendations for the specialty cocktails and they were all great. The service was excellent. We had around 120 guests and the wait staff did not seem to have any issues. The bartenders also did a great job pouring drinks and keeping the lines at the bars moving. Lastly, we were so happy to work with Leslie during the planning process. We originally wanted to have a cocktail style wedding but due to the pandemic and NYC's regulations, we needed to change our wedding date and change to seated dinner. During a real stressful time, Leslie helped make everything easy for us. Overall, I don't think we have a single negative remark or criticism about Bartleby and Sage.
