Sage & Spice Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Serves Columbia, SC for additional fees

We love to create custom menus for couples who love food. We think that weddings are an amazing way to express yourself and to give your guests a taste of what is special to you! Let's set up a call to chat!

Awarded Best of Zola
Sage and Spice executed our PERFECT wedding menu! My husband and I love Asian food, so for our wedding, we wanted to share some of our favorite dishes with our favorite people. Our point of contact, Meredith, was super helpful and collaborative on our consultation call. She walked us through a few options we might like from Sage and Spice's menu, and if there was something different we wanted, we were able to share our own recipes for the chefs to create. In particular, we were excited about serving Burmese mint chicken, a cuisine and dish we always share when guests visit us in San Francisco, and Chinese BBQ pork (char siu), a comfort food my mom always makes when I go home. We sent both recipes to Sage and Spice, and they absolutely nailed the flavor and texture for both dishes! Almost everything was incredible, and I'm so grateful that Sage & Spice let us curate our menu and brought it to life flawlessly. Our only hiccup was dessert (doughnuts), but Sage and Spice were responsive, accountable, and handled it professionally. Would absolutely recommend Sage and Spice if you're looking to put your own flair in your catering!

  • Serves Columbia, SC for additional fees

Duvall has been hand selecting flowers, setting tables, sourcing locally, making delicious cuisine, crafting cocktails, setting lights, seamlessly designing, artfully entertaining, obsessively organizing and welcoming the magic of celebration since 1978.

I cannot say enough good things about Duvall Catering & Events. Planning a wedding can be so stressful and they absolutely hit it out of the park by making everything so easy on me. We used them for both catering and floral/draping. Alicia with the catering side answered all of my questions quickly and kindly. She was so patient and worked with me to perfect the menu. She sent me multiple revised quotes every time I wanted to change something and was always so kind. We got so many compliments about the food. The shrimp & grits especially were a hit! Wendy helped me with all of my floral, draping, and lighting. My vision for my wedding was very specific and my creative baby. Not only was she just as excited about it as I was, she executed it perfectly. We worked together for months finetuning everything and she did her absolute best to help me get the look I wanted within budget while also making helpful suggestions and thoughts on what we could do. I am so thankful for her as she is really the one that helped me take what I wanted to the next level. She is thoughtful, kind, and an absolute expert in her craft. I could not be more thankful for Duvall helping me to make my day so amazing. It was truly perfect!!
