THE FLAVOR ARCHITECT
Chef Aaron’s passion for cooking began in Columbia, South Carolina, where he first stepped into the kitchen at fifteen. It flourished in Charleston, where he trained under multiple James Beard–nominated chefs, shaping a foundation rooted in technique, discipline, and deep respect for the craft.
His path has taken him through the fire-driven kitchens of Argentina and the soulful tables of Italy, influences that continue to refine his approach to flavor and intention. A graduate of The Citadel, where he earned his MBA, Aaron brings a structured, detail-driven mindset to the kitchen, one defined by quality, consistency, and discipline.
As the culinary force behind The Savory Sage, his work reflects a balance of elevated American cuisine and global inspiration, guided by instinct, timing, and care.
He cooks for the moment when everything aligns, when a dish becomes exactly what it was meant to be.
THE CURATOR
Nicole has built a reputation for transforming gatherings into something truly unforgettable, guided by her intuitive eye and a deep-rooted connection to nature. She draws inspiration from the wild, from the way things grow, gather, and exist in quiet harmony. Her floral work reflects that instinct, with fresh, garden-inspired arrangements for weddings, private celebrations, and large-scale installations, each one layered with texture, movement, and a sense of effortless, untamed beauty.
In the culinary world, she carries that same philosophy into elevated catering experiences, where ingredients are treated with care and intention, and every plate feels like an extension of the land it came from. Her approach blends organic elegance with refined artistry, creating immersive moments that feel warm, inviting, and quietly luxurious.
Every detail she touches is considered, every element in harmony, resulting in experiences that don’t just look beautiful… they root themselves in the moment and bloom in memory.
THE ALCHEMIST
Clare has always been drawn to innovation - through music, flavor, and the art of bringing people together. That instinct led her behind the bar, where her creativity, rooted in intuition and raw expression, takes form.
With experience across a range of bar environments, she’s developed a deep understanding of ingredients, balance, and composition. Clare approaches each cocktail with intention, treating it as a crafted composition where every element has purpose.
Her work is grounded in a modern form of alchemy - transforming fresh herbs, raw sugars, and real, earth-driven ingredients into something bold yet refined. This philosophy defines Elixir: Sip Fresh, Drink Bold.
For Clare, this is more than a profession. It is a craft fueled by passion and pursued with purpose.
