Our design & production team will help you craft the perfect day, a celebration reflecting your unique sense of style and taste.

Waiter’s Choice is dedicated to developing a relationship with our clients to reflect their unique love for each other, beginning with a complementary tasting and ending with matching the dream to the budget.

We worked with Margie and her team for our January 2023 wedding. We weren’t really sure what we wanted going into the consultation, but Margie helped us narrow down what we wanted and we ended up with three stations. Tacos, pasta, and sliders. They accommodated our guests with dietary restrictions very nicely. For example for our vegans, they often get a plate of mixed vegetables as their meals at weddings. Waiter’s Choice made BBQ jackfruit sliders for them and had pasta made with chickpeas so they had options to choose from. We didn’t get to eat much at our wedding as is usually the case, but we were happy to find a bag from Waiter’s Choice packed up with all off the different foods we had as well as a bottle of champagne. We both got colds after the wedding so we were very happy to live off those leftovers for a few days!

Modeled to emulate an authentic horse trailer, this bar has a welcoming and novel aesthetic that is sure to charm your loved ones.

If you’re considering Sage & Spice Catering or hiring Tori Frasher as your wedding planner—do it. It will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding, hands down. Let’s start with Sage & Spice Catering. The food was unbelievable. Truly, I’m still dreaming about it—and so are many of our guests who went out of their way to tell me how delicious everything was. From passed hors d’oeuvres to our late-night snack station, everything was flawless. The presentation, the flavor, the service—it was all next level. Their team was so much more than caterers—they were kind, attentive, and willing to lend a helping hand outside of their official duties. They were on top of every detail from planning to clean-up and brought such a calm, professional presence to our day. We also used Sage & Spice for our open bar, and they knocked it out of the park. We ordered all our wine through them (super easy), and they helped us create two specialty cocktails that our guests loved. Their guidance on how much alcohol to order was spot-on, and even with just two bartenders, they were so efficient that we never had a real line for drinks. And now for Tori. I could write a novel about how incredible Tori is. She’s not just a wedding planner—she’s a magician. Tori made the entire planning process easy, stress-free, and even FUN. She was always three steps ahead, thought through every detail, and had solutions to problems I didn’t even know I had. Her calm energy and expertise kept me grounded through the entire experience. And on the wedding day, she was everywhere. Coordinating timelines, making magic behind the scenes, and even getting down on the bathroom floor to help bustle my dress. I cannot imagine going through this process without her, and I’m endlessly grateful we had her by our side. Tori and the entire Sage & Spice team are, in a word, extraordinary. I would recommend them a thousand times over.
