Elisa J. Married on 06/11/2022Great Food, Great Experience
We loved having Main Event cater our wedding. The food was really really delicious. We had lots of people tell us how much they enjoyed the food. We had the latin braised short rib, grilled salmon, and stuffed poblano peppers as our entrees. All 3 were hits! Would highly recommend. -

Choosing A Main Event to cater our wedding was one of the best decisions we made!! They were so attentive to every detail, making sure guests with dietary restrictions still had delicious options and customizing our menu to be exactly what we wanted. Ali was a dream to work with and we so appreciated her expertise and guidance in all the planning! She stayed in constant contact with us leading up to the big day. And the tasting was SO much fun - definitely my husband's favorite part of the wedding planning process! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was - the hors d'oeuvres were delicious and creative, and the main courses were out of this world. The beef short ribs are one of the best dishes I've had anywhere! Food is such an important part of a wedding experience, and A Main Event made sure it was tasty and memorable. Greg, as our fabulous supervisor, and all the wonderful serving staff provided exceptional and friendly service to all our guests throughout the cocktail hour and reception making absolutely sure everyone’s needs were met! As the bride and groom, we had our own server the entire evening so that we always had enough to eat and drink while we were talking and taking pictures. We would highly recommend A Main Event for all your catering needs!

I worked many events with Main Event (normally at Carnegie and River Farm) and I have found their staff to always be top notch! The food is wonderful and they're very responsive to client's needs.
Amazing company and amazing people. This company knows how to be helpful and create generous service to no limits. the food was terrific, and overall reasonably priced. The server seemed to read my mind and was taking care of everything as I thought of it. Everyone involved - from planning to set-up to serving, to clean-up was so professional and pleasant. We were able to put on the event we wanted within the budget we'd planned every time. Great work with Spencer and team last year and many more weddings to go.
Main Event has done many events here at our gallery and they were great! Efficient staff, start to finish service with not just food but also the equipment, clean up and staffing. I would always recommend them as a go to for weddings or private events!
