The Main Course Catering team were simply amazing and incredible in every aspect for our son and daughter-in-law’s Catskill wedding this past September. We were very fortunate that our planners (Lauren and Kayleigh from Wild Blooms Bridal) directed the wedding couple to Main Course. The food, and specifically a fully vegan menu was most important to the couple in planning the wedding. We were simply blown away at the tasting when we discovered that Chef Hogan and another chef visited in person several of the couple’s preferred vegan restaurants in the city and sampled their favorite menu items to re-create these special dishes for their wedding. They were creative and attentive and caring to make sure it was all done to perfection – and it was! We had so much fun at the tasting and I knew it was going to be exactly what our daughter-in-law and son wanted for their special day and for their guests. Amanda and Emily worked with the couple and our planners throughout the process coordinating the rentals and catering and kitchen set-up at the venue. Emily was there throughout the day and is simply the best of the best! The staff and servers assembled for the day were superb and our families and friends were so impressed. The true star of the show was the menu, from the beauty of the presentation to the incredible taste sensation – “lamb” cigars, vegan arancini and the many delicious hors d’oeuvres, to the salads (including a selection of heirloom tomatoes with basil gelee and balsamic pearls), to the crispy Hudson Valley celeriac with lemon caper aioli, and pasta with mushroom nduja and garlic chips, and the many complimentary, savory accompaniments to the entrees, and to complete it all, warm apple crisp and almond lavender cake bites (not to mention the sliders and fries at the after-party under the stars) – all so plentiful and all so delicious! Main Course Catering – Chef Hogan, Amanda and Emily and all those from the Main Course team present to make the day so memorable and simply exquisite – we thank you a million times over!

We used Main Course as our wedding caterer, and honestly, five stars isn’t enough! We already knew how amazing their food was as my husband and I used to eat there all the time during college but they far exceeded our expectations as our wedding caterer.

From booking and tasting to the big day itself, every step of the process was seamless and enjoyable. So many of our guests told us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, and some even went back the next morning for brunch!

We also worked with Amanda from Main Course as our day-of coordinator, and she was absolutely incredible. She answered every question (no matter how small) and handled every detail flawlessly. Thanks to her, our day was completely stress-free.

If you choose Main Course for your wedding, you can rest easy knowing you’re in the best hands. We can’t wait to go back and celebrate every anniversary there!

THANK YOU to Amanda and the entire MC family - you guys are the BEST.

Brides look no more Main Course is the only caterer to use! Bruce and Amanda went above and beyond for my daughter's wedding this past Saturday. We cannot thank them enough.

The food was outstanding!!!! Everything was exceptional ! The attention to details was Impeccable. The professionalism in the team the day of the wedding was Incredible!!! Everything about the staff was exceptional from the professionalism to their friendliness!


Presentation of the food was remarkable!!!

Thank you, Bruce and Amanda making my daughter's day so memorable. What a pleasure it was to work with you thank you thank you thank you

The Main Course Catering team goes above & beyond! We are still jumping up and down with excitement of how perfect everything went from our wedding weekend.

Main Course helped to cater our welcome party, wedding day & sunday brunch. Not only did the food taste amazing but they also had the most gorgeous presentation that fit in perfectly with our venues vibe! The food was absolutely incredible and all of our guests were raving about it. Our guests were so specific about a certain item they each loved. Whether it was the cake, the carrots in their appetizer or the omelet at brunch the next day, everyone truly enjoyed their food experience throughout the weekend

In addition to the delicious food, they also helped in securing the rentals for the entire weekend (including the tent, dancefloor, chairs, tables, napkins, dinnerware, you name it!) They really helped to bring our vision to life and I am so grateful for all of their help and expertise in answering all of our questions throughout the process. I still am getting tears in my eyes thinking about seeing the reception tent for the first time, it was just truly every thing we had hoped for & more. It was literally a dream come true.

The entire staff was super professional, kind & helped make the entire weekend run so smoothly. We are so grateful & happy we hired Main Course to be there every step of the way, they truly delivered & checked off every box! 10000/10 would recommend you hire them for your next event!

Amanda and the entire Main Course team were simply amazing and did not miss a thing. They helped plan and cater our recent destination wedding and we cannot recommend them enough. Hiring Amanda as our party planner was the best decision we could have made! It was a huge undertaking for us to do an out of town wedding with unknown vendors, but Amanda guided us through with professionalism, patience and a calmness every step of the way. She always figured out a way to make it happen. She was accessible, organized and on top of every single detail. Her party planning skills plus the expertise of Main Course Catering were the perfect combination. From the seamless setup and quick flip of the room, to the care with each place setting, to the abundant, beautifully displayed, delicious food and attentive staff…the list is endless. People have not stopped raving about the cocktail hour and all of the food! And no one had to wait for a drink!! The entire team went above and beyond and we are so grateful. They made the day and night so easy and kept us on schedule to the minute. We truly cannot thank them enough and can’t wait to do another Main Course party!!

Main Course was far and away the most professional, attentive, and organized vendor we worked with for our wedding. We felt so lucky to have them help us plan our wedding reception. They seriously kept us sane in the weeks leading up. Plus their food was amazing, genuinely delicious, far above typical wedding food fare. This was particularly true of the dessert - we had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding cake they ever had. If you're considering working with Main Course, do yourself a favor and book them. You won't regret it.

I cannot recommend Main Course enough for catering and planning your wedding day! They were a dream to work with, and people are still raving about the food from our wedding--everyone says it's hands down the best wedding food they've ever had!
Food was very important to us, so we were very picky in choosing our catering team. From our first meeting with them, we knew we had to book this team, and we are so lucky we did!! Main Course completely exceeded our expectations. We had an amazing experience with the Main Course team from the get. They were super responsive, flexible, creative, understanding and fun to work with from our initial meeting with them all the way up to the wedding day. And of course, the menu they planned was also incredible! They did not balk when we asked for a (mostly) vegetarian and vegan menu, and were really excited to create special, amazing dishes that were in line with those somewhat annoying dietary preferences :)
Our tasting was hands down my favorite part of the wedding planning process. We had SO much fun meeting their incredible team and tasting all the delicious foods and drinks. Emily led us through the whole process and was so helpful helping us select our dishes and all the other things that go along with a wedding dinner and reception. Hogan created the most amazing speciality cocktail and asked very thoughtful questions to help us pick our drinks (we settled on a spicy strawberry margarita and a ward 8 and would HIGHLY recommend these drinks). The day of the wedding of course was also amazing and went off without a hitch! Everyone loved the look and taste of all the cocktails, the passed hor d'oeuvres, the stations, and the actual dinner food itself. We also cannot say enough good things about all the wait staff and bartending staff, who were also so friendly and positive the entire time.
We also want to give a very special shoutout and heartfelt thank you to the most wonderful person, Emily!! During our tasting, we realized we were in way over our heads and we decided to hire Emily to be our wedding coordinator. We cannot emphasize enough how special this person is and how critical she was to our wedding planning process! There were so many times during the months leading up to the wedding where my husband and I would turn to each other and say, "how could we have done this without Emily?!" She literally saved our lives and helped us plan everything, including the things we simply would not have remembered without her. We had monthly meetings leading up to the big day, which were so helpful, and she was also super responsive whenever we emailed or texted her, which we started to do more frequently and with increasing anxiety in the weeks leading up :) She coordinated our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day and didn't let us break a sweat. Everything was totally handled, and it made us really be able to actually enjoy the wedding weekend. She is also just the best person to spend so much of the weekend with--so organized, so put together, so helpful, so funny and so fun. We love Emily so much and the entire Main Course Team!

I am so glad we hired Main Course for our wedding day! Not only was the food absolutely wonderful, but they really helped me out throughout the wedding planning process. I mainly worked with Amanda, but Emily ended up being our day of coordinator at the wedding. Both ladies were fantastic, friendly and super good at their jobs. We had a rustic farm wedding, but wanted to elevate it with local food, and man, did it ever. All of our guests keep raving about it! Everything was amazing; the harvest table, passed hors d'oeuvres, specialty cocktails, seated dinner and dessert station (amazing cake!) I am a creative person and wanted to do a lot of the planning on my own, but thank goodness Amanda was there to walk me through everything, keep my on track, answer my questions, and even meet us in a snow storm to see the venue. On the day of, Emily was always right there to take care of anything, before I even knew I needed her; she even helped me bustle my dress. I was blown away that the day ran without a hitch and the timing worked out perfectly. Oh! And the servers were professional and friendly — honestly, I can’t recommend Main Course enough, they made our day super special.

There was no doubt in my mind that I would be hiring the team at Main Course Catering for my wedding. I knew this before I was even engaged because my sister had them for her wedding just a few years earlier and It was love at first bite. Seriously - Her guests (and I) were still talking about how delicious the food was even 4 years later. So the decision to partner with them was hands down the easiest and best decision made.

Our experience working with the Main Course Catering Team was beyond our expectations though. Tasting their food is one thing - but once you actually meet the team of pro’s you’ll actually get it. Working with them is comparable (but better) to having dinner at your best friends house - you instantly feel like you’re home and you always know theres an open seat for you at their dinner table.

The owner and chef, Bruce Kazan and his team prepared two separate menus, one for our rehearsal dinner and one for our wedding that were both so thoughtfully crafted; accommodating those with any food allergies or restrictions without lacking ANY flavor or presentation. 10/10 + CHEFS KISS!

The next best decision we made was confirming full planning + day of coordination with the queen herself - Amanda Serroukas. Amanda is the head catering director at Main Course and a wedding planning wizard and if you’re lucky enough to work with her, your planning process is guaranteed to be seamless, and your event is promised to be beautiful and successfully executed. Plus, Amanda knows anybody and everybody in the game. She has worked with countless incredible vendors throughout the area and her strong partnerships with them only added to our confidence!

Our wedding was in Rhinebeck, New York at Ankony Carriage House - A private estate with a big beautiful house, rolling hills, and expansive views of the Hudson River. Main Course was familiar with catering events here, and Amanda was an expert on this entire property so because of her existing relationship with the estate owners and her previous experience working events on this site, she was able to answer any and all questions we had + inform us about the things that wouldn't have crossed our minds otherwise.

Although the wedding was in NY, I was planning from California, (where I live) - but even with 3,000 miles between us, Amanda and I worked closely through the entire process.
To share some additional perspective, I am an Interior Designer, so maybe you can imagine how much details really matter to me. ;) However, I trusted Amanda entirely. Not only because she has 10+ years of experience, but because she genuinely wants your day to be a total success in every sense of the word - stress and worry free, beautiful AND FUN. She’s an event planning mastermind and she is truly the coolest and calmest person ever. Working with her maybe only made me feel half as cool, but it definitely made me feel just as calm from start to finish.

It’s been a month since our wedding and our guests are still raving about the food as well as how incredibly beautiful and fun the entire weekend was. Our California friends who attended are now considering having their weddings in the Hudson Valley area just so they can work with Main Course. Their words! I could clearly go on with this review forever, but to sum it up - We owe it all to Amanda and everyone at Main Course. We strongly recommend this dream team to anybody and everybody we know and promise your event will be better for it.

Main Course is just incredible! Amanda is so organized and helped us plan, pick out and decide everything for our wedding day. During our tasting, she spent so much time with us helping us make our decisions perfect and what we wanted. We did not not feel rushed, or just like another couple. Main course's food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. They use all local farms so the food is fresh, and you can expect it to be exactly how it is at your tasting. Our guests have told us that this cannot compare to other weddings, they were blown away! Can we talk about the signature drinks?! Everyone is STILL talking about the Hibiscus Margarita, it was incredible. Amanda also was there for our rehearsal (much needed, thank you!) went over all of our decor for the next day, and I knew we were in good hands. The day of the wedding, everyone checked in, made sure everything was where it needed to be.. I had nothing to worry about! You can rest assured, they are organized and will treat the day like its their own wedding. No detail goes unturned. Thank you so much to Amanda, Bruce, and Hogan, you guys are just so top notch!
