Without hesitation we would recommend Sage to a friend. In fact, there is no one we wouldn't recommend Sage to. The venue was everything we imagined it could be. It is an elegant space that has floor to ceiling windows highlighting the gorgeous view of the North Shore mountains. Outside, the large patio space was ideal for hosting guests for a cocktail and appetizers, all while enjoying the same view. The bar, much like the rest of the space, was classic and required very little in the way of decor to accentuate its well appointed finishes. The food was excellent and the staff was extremely accommodating of any and all allergies and dietary restrictions.
Perhaps the best part of our experience with Sage was the attentive and thoughtful guidance of the event coordinator Nicky. Nicky ensured that every question we had was answered, every concern quelled, and every detail organized. He was quick to respond to emails and went above and beyond our expectations.

Flexible and Accommodating
We were very happy with our experience at Sage Bistro. Nicky was an amazing coordinator, responding quickly to emails and was able to accommodate us into the busy summer schedule for viewings of the venue as well as decorating the night before! They were very helpful regarding food allergies (I have quite a few allergies and wanted to be able to eat all the food at my own wedding). They even went as far as to bring a separate plate to the head table so I could enjoy one of the buffet options without nuts in it. The space itself doesn’t require a lot of decorations and has a beautiful view, excellent for evening photos. Overall we had an excellent experience at Sage.

Wonderful Experience!!
Our wedding could not have turned out more successful and besides our wedding planner, Nicky Lau is the reason everything turned out so well! Our guests were floored by how beautiful the venue was, how organized and courteous the servers were, and especially how delicious the food was! Nicky was so helpful throughout the entire process from the moment we decided to book Sage; we emailed him almost weekly to several times a day and he always replied promptly and with very useful insight. We had to make several changes due to guest requirements and sometimes we just changed our minds, but Sage was incredibly compliant and easy to deal with. If I ever get married again (haha :P), I would absolutely consider coming back to Sage! Thank you Nicky and team for all of your professional and wonderful help!
