About Us
Where Culinary Passion Meets Southwest Flavor
Our Story
At Cactus and Sage Catering, we believe food should be soulful, intentional, and unforgettable. Rooted in the rich flavors of the Southwest and guided by the principles of fine dining, our approach blends seasonal, locally inspired ingredients with the timeless art of hospitality.
Led by Chef Warren Weekes — classically trained in French cuisine and seasoned by decades in luxury resorts and wellness retreats — our team brings refined culinary technique and heartfelt service to every table.
Whether you’re hosting a laid-back backyard gathering or an elegant celebration, we work closely with you to craft custom menus that reflect your taste, values, and vision. With every bite, we aim to create more than just a meal — we create a memory.
We also offer a dedicated drop-off catering service through Copper Pan Catering for corporate and high-volume events.
