Laura Sent on 06/28/2023Main Course made the food one of the best parts of our wedding!
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. -

Main Course truly was the key to success on my wedding day. Amanda & Emily were tremendously helpful, communicative and a guide throughout the process. I planned my wedding under a short time period and they were still very accommodating. Based on reviews, I trusted that the food and service would be amazing and it absolutely was. They coordinated my day and thought of details that made the day special. Everything was absolutely delicious. We are so grateful that Emily, Amanda, Hogan and the Main Course staff were a part of our special day! I can't wait to visit their restaurant soon :) -

Working with Main Course has been an absolute dream from start to finish. From booking them a year out from the wedding all the way through the wedding itself, Main Course was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful on every question we had, large and small. We worked with Amanda, who I can't recommend enough - she was so knowledgeable and was always available for anything we needed. There were times we forgot a deadline or didn't know what we should choose, and Amanda was never anything less than very kind and of the utmost help in every way.
The food was absolutely incredible, and the service was excellent as well. From the beginning we knew one of the most important things to us was having great food, and Main Course was our top choice in that regard. We got many compliments from our guests on the quality of the food and drinks, as well as on the efficiency and helpfulness of the servers and bartenders. We provided our own coffee and wedding cake, and it was so exciting to see how happy our guests were at our choices. Main Course didn't charge a cake cutting fee, which we really appreciated. We had our wedding at a private residence in the Hudson Valley, and Main Course transformed the house into a perfect backyard wedding venue (with the help of vendors Events Unlimited and Party Rentals LTD, who did everything through Main Course).
The other thing I couldn't be more grateful to Main Course for is acting as our day-of wedding coordinator. Amanda worked out the schedule with us far in advance (down to the minute!) from the moment Main Course arrived to the moment they left, and coordinated all our other vendors into that schedule so she could answer their questions. It freed up so much of my energy to just enjoy the day, and know that my vendor team was looking out for each other.
Main Course also catered our wedding brunch the next day, and once again it was incredible - the food, the drinks, the service. A perfect casual brunch!
We're truly so grateful to have had Main Course with us for our special day, and for them to have been focused on making sure we had the best day possible. I hope you book them - you will not regret it! -
Lauren Sent on 10/10/2018I am so happy that we chose Main Course to cater our wedding. When we stumbled into their cafe on main st. a few years back after a hike in the area, I told my then-boyfriend that this place was going to cater our wedding. 5 years later, here I am writing a review on their page to proclaim my since gratitude and thanks for their unbelievable service. The food was delicious and the support from day one all the way up to day of the wedding was exceptional. Amanda and Emily held my digital hand as we exchanged hundreds of emails. Despite my frazzled state of mind at times, she helped me feel at ease throughout the entire planning process. They helped so many of my visions come to life. On the day of the wedding, Emily was right there with us throughout the evening without feeling like she was on our tail. She always made sure we had food in our tummies and drinks in our hands. She helped the event move so smoothly. I really appreciate all the effort and support from Main Course. The whole team really played a huge role in making our dream wedding a reality and wish I could hug them all! :)

Spectacular wedding weekend thanks to Main Course Catering!
Main Course was truly fantastic to work with, both as our caterer and especially with Amanda leading the team as our wedding planner. We cannot thank them enough.
Planning:
Amanda left no detail unturned during the entire planning process. She was very organized throughout the process. She was incredibly professional and organized, while also really getting to know us and my family throughout the planning process. We planned our wedding with continuously changing COVID policies, and she was not only very on top of the rules as they evolved for the state and our venue, but she was very communicative and very patient as I would text her every time I heard wind of a policy change! :)
Leading up to the wedding, she did an amazing job coordinating all our vendors and worked closely with us to ensure that her very organized wedding weekend plan was in line with our vision. She was very communicative and helpful and available to brainstorm and assist with last minute details as they came up in the weeks leading up to the wedding.
The wedding weekend itself (which included events Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), went incredibly smoothly thanks to Main Course Catering. The whole team was really fantastic, available and helpful. Everything ran very smoothly, and we had multiple guests come up to us to tell us specifically that the wedding organization and flow was excellent. Furthermore, we had a significant number of guests tell us it was one of their favorite weddings they had ever been to. Amanda is a superwoman! Thank you thank you thank you to Amanda and the team for helping us to create a weekend of celebration with our family and friends that captured our essence as a couple.
Catering:
The food and drinks were both excellent and had very pretty presentation. The team was very helpful in creating our menu for the multiple events of our wedding weekend - they were able to match the vibe of our welcome event and lunch with the foods they recommended. The food at the reception was very delicious and fresh, and we loved that the menus we designed using their graphic designer had a map on the back displaying the local farms in the Hudson Valley that the foods used had come from. Throughout the entire weekend, we had guests tell us that the food was truly exceptional. Hogan’s cocktails were very delicious and also matched up with the vibes of the various events. We very highly recommend their food and cannot wait to go to the restaurant to eat in the future! -

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! -

I ordered lunch for all the folks staying on-site at the venue on my wedding day (about 35 people). We ordered sandwiches and vegetables with the best aioli ever! Delivery was on-time and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!
