Joshua Underwood
I've had the pleasure of partnering with B&S on several large-scale events, catering to 300-400 guests, and they never disappoint. Rachael is incredibly responsive and always helps us craft a perfect menu that lands right on budget without compromising quality. Whether it's a Holiday Brunch Buffet or a Summer Cookout, our guests can’t stop raving about the food, even long after the event is over. And it isn’t just their food that is top-notch! Bartleby & Sage brings an elevated aesthetic that adds a touch of sophistication to every event. I look forward to many more successful events with B&S!

We have worked with Bartleby & Sage multiple times and the food has always been delicious. They created an edible garden of floral cake pops for our spring time event which were a big hit with our guests.

Laura Mosteller
The Bartleby & Sage team really leveled up the food at our annual corporate conference! Catering and food has always been the low point in our guests' feedback, but this year it was a highlight! Beyond the delicious food, the entire team was also kind, prompt, and great problem solvers when we were navigating challenges at a new venue. We will be calling them back for all our future events!

Austin Nathaniel
From the very beginning, their team was exceptional—thoughtful, organized, and a true pleasure to work with during the planning process. The menu was outstanding. Our attendees loved the food, and we received numerous comments that it was the best food we’ve ever had at this event. We are deeply grateful for Bartleby & Sage’s support of our conference and fully plan to work with them again in the future. Highly, highly recommend.

The food selection we were looking for was unique, we wanted dishes representing four regions of the world. Bartleby and Sage were up to the challenge. From the beginning they made it so easy. Their response time and feedback was always timely. It was a pleasure to work with this team of amazing people!

Do you need a full kitchen to caterer in our office?

We've been doing this for 30 years and we know how to work with what's there. We come fully prepared — our food is prepped and ready to serve, and we bring everything we need. A power source and running water are helpful, but we've made it work in spaces far less equipped than a typical office. Just let us see the space and we'll sort out the logistics.

I have been tasked with planning our corporate team-building event. I have no idea where to start.

How about a chef-driven cooking class or “Chopped” competition?  Maybe a barbecue at a beautiful location overlooking a vineyard or waterfront?  mixologists on site demonstrating unique craft cocktails?  Give us a budget and time frame and we will create a memorable experience for your team.

How much lead time do you need for a catering order?

Typically we need at least 48 hours notice, though we do our best to accommodate last minute requests.

What are Easy Events to Go?

This is Bartleby & Sage’s brochure of pre-set catering packages and drop-off options for clients on a budget and who need tasty food that is ready serve.

Do you have a catering minimum?

We have a minimum of $2,500 food & beverage spend and 20 guests.

Can you provide a COI and Host Liquor Liability for our venue?

We carry comprehensive general liability insurance and can provide a Certificate of Insurance naming your venue or organization as additionally insured. Host Liquor Liability can be provided where applicable. We'll handle the paperwork — just let us know what your venue requires and we'll get it to you promptly.

What equipment do you supply?

In our production fee, we come equipped with most station and buffet equipment such as our signature grills, cast iron skillets, pots, serving vessels, utensils, as well passing trays, cocktail napkins, kitchen, bar, and service equipment. We can assist with rentals of plates, flatware, glassware, linens and furniture as needed or provide eco-friendly compostables depending on the style of the event.

How much set-up and clean up time do you need?

For most events we typically need two hours for setup and 1 hour for breakdown. Larger productions with bar buildouts, rentals, or décor coordination may need more lead time. We'll confirm the exact window when we finalize your proposal — and we're always mindful of your venue's access restrictions.

What is your cancellation policy?

Our standard policy is within the timeframe of your contract we can reschedule to an agreed upon date with no cancellation fees. If the date can’t be rescheduled or you need to cancel the event completely we would retain the deposit that was applied to your event. We understand that plans change — especially for corporate events — and we'll always try to work with you when circumstances shift. We do ask for as much notice as possible, as our team begins planning and sourcing well in advance of your event date.
