Complete corporate event management from soup to Vermont maple cotton candy send-off
Our team does more than food & beverages. We source entertainment, AV production, photography, and even decor—planning moments that wow your guests and bring your team together.
Custom menus that reinforce your brand and inspire your team and clients
instead of serving a ho-hum sandwich lunch for your clients, why not go all-in with a Caribbean menu and serve the most succulent oxtails and red snapper escabeche along with Jamaican rice and pigeon peas.
Sustainability that reflects your values
In addition to sourcing from local farmers and small, family-owned businesses, use biodegradable service ware, and give back 10% to the communities around us-because doing good business means doing good for our neighbors and our world.

Frequently asked questions
Questions -> Answers
You’ll always be in the loop with Bartleby & Sage. You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers.
Do you cater outside NYC?
We cater in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx. We work throughout the tri-state area, as far west as the Catskills, as far south as New Jersey and as far northeast as the Hudson Valley and Connecticut.
I fell in love with a gorgeous property for my wedding, but there is no kitchen on site.
Not to worry, Chef Ramon and our kitchen crew work magic anywhere. If there is no electricity on site, we work with hot boxes and sterno. We can rent wood-fired grills, propane-powered stoves and a generator for refrigeration.
Do you offer delivery and drop-off catering?
In addition to offering all styles of food service, we also offer drop-off style breakfast, lunch, dinner, and more! We can set up and return for clean-up. We send eco-friendly, biodegradable paper goods or partner with Re:Dish www.redish.com for truly sustainable service.
Can I make changes to the menus you provide?
Custom menus have been our specialty for over 25 years. We love hearing about your traditions and cultural favorites; we have served up oxtails for a Caribbean wedding, San Rival cake for a Filipino celebration, flown in crawfish from New Orleans. Be sure to also tell us about any dietary needs and allergies.
What’s included in full-service catering?
It depends on the venue and the style of the event. We can manage the food, bar, all the staff to set up and clean up, insurance, and permits as necessary. Once we understand your vision for the event, we assist with the rental of furniture, linens, tabletop, and barware.
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 do I decide if I only need day-of coordination, partial-planning or full year planning?
It depends on how much time you have to determine a budget, then source your vendors and orchestrate to-do lists, guest lists, and a timeline for everything. If that all sounds like a big headache, talk to us about our range of planning services. We will help you decide what works best for your needs.
Do you offer tastings?
Yes, we offer a complimentary tasting for two in our Brooklyn kitchen. Once you have received a proposal, you will taste a curated menu of hors d’oeuvres, a multi-course meal, and desserts. This is your chance to meet our team, get to know our style, and ask lots of detailed questions about your event. Come hungry! (Additional guests can be accommodated at $150 each.)
Do you offer wedding cakes and custom desserts?
Our pastry chef Hans can create everything from a vintage wedding cake design, a multi-tiered extravaganza, even a hand-spun croquembouche. Need branded cookies for your product launch? No problem! We relish a challenge, so send your ideas our way.
Do you offer Kosher catering?
While we are not a Kosher kitchen, we can offer Kosher-style catering as well as Halal, Indian and flavors from around the world. If you need some certified Kashrut meals, we work with the premier Kosher caterer in NYC—the meals come sealed with real china and utensils.
