By far the best wedding food we've ever had
We could not have been happier with our experience! From the very beginning, the catering team was responsive, professional, and easy to work with especially with the guest list frequently changing. On the wedding day, everything went seamlessly and we didn’t have to worry about a single detail.
The food was absolutely incredible. Our guests raved about both the appetizers and the main courses, and we’re still hearing compliments weeks later. We highly recommend the fried chicken and waffle cones, the steak crostini, and the mac and cheese bites for apps. Main courses included a roasted chicken and fillet mignon with green beans and mashed potatoes. Every dish was absolutely incredible.
If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers amazing food and a stress-free experience, this is the team to go with. They truly exceeded our expectations!Main Event Caterers's reply:
Thank you so much for your review, Michelle! It was an absolute joy to be part of your special day, and our team thoroughly enjoyed working with you every step of the way. Hearing that your guests are still talking about the food means the world to us! Our chicken & waffle cones and mac & cheese bites are some of our favorites, too!
Thank you for selecting us to be part of such an important celebration. We’re thrilled that the day went seamlessly and that every detail came together just as you hoped. Wishing you both so much happiness, and we’re always here if you need us for future events! -

Amazing wedding food and staff
Main Event was absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding! Madeline and Melissa were so lovely throughout the entire process—they made everything feel easy, fun, and stress-free. Their professionalism and genuine warmth made planning such a positive experience.
And the food… wow. Multiple guests came up to us during the night (and even after!) to say it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Everything was beautifully presented, delicious, and perfectly suited to the vibe of our day. -

Highly recommend Main Event!
We were very happy with Main Event's catering of our July 2025 wedding at Stone Tower Winery! They carried out everything to perfection, and the food was really good! We especially got a ton of compliments on the hors d'oeuvres, and our specialty cocktails were amazing. Destiny was so great to work with, and the rest of the staff day-of were incredibly friendly and attentive. You can tell that Main Event goes the extra mile to make your wedding the best experience possible, and they succeeded for us!Main Event Caterers's reply:
Hi Kate!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It was such a joy to be part of your wedding at Stone Tower, and we’re so happy to hear that everything—from the hors d’oeuvres to the specialty cocktails—was a hit. Destiny and the entire team truly enjoyed working with you, and your kind words about their friendliness and attention to detail mean the world to us. We’re honored to have played a role in your celebration and wish you both all the best in this new chapter! -

Top notch catering
Main Event catered our wedding and we wouldn't have it any other way! They truly excel at professionalism, consistent service and delicious food. Our guests were impressed by how attentive Main Event's waitstaff was throughout the night. There were no misses! My husband and I had a waiter assigned to us for the evening and she did an incredible job at bringing us food, drinks, and even holding our drinks whenever we wanted to take a photo. Melissa and Hasnaa attended our visit to the rentals company and our final walk through at our venue, making for a seamless experience. Catering is such an important part of a wedding - you will not regret booking Main Event!Main Event Caterers's reply:
Anna, thank you so much for sharing this! We loved being part of your day, and it means the world to hear how much you appreciated having your own waiter for the evening—that special service is one of our favorite ways to make sure our couples can truly relax and enjoy every moment. We’re so glad Melissa and Hasnaa could help make everything seamless. Wishing you and your husband all the happiness in the world! -

Wedding Catering to perfection!
Main Event was one of the caterers recommended by our venue, and it’s obvious why. Destiny and Ali at Main Event were great to work with. They were very communicative throughout the whole process, helping us craft the perfect menu for our wedding. We were able to try several different appetizers, starters, entrees, and sides at the tasting. When we had a hard time deciding on our final entrees, they even held a mini tasting for us which we found super helpful. The fact that Main Event has much of their own in house equipment really simplified the rental process. They also helped coordinate our other rentals, such as linens.
Now on to the food… it was all so delicious! From the hors d’oeuvres, to the main courses and tiramisu shooters, our guests had nothing but praise. Many said it was some of the best wedding food they’d ever had, and we agree! A couple of our guests admitted to even tracking down where the servers came out with fresh trays of crab cakes during the cocktail hour, that’s how much they loved them.
Finally, the fact that they let us provide our own alcohol was a big cost saver, and let us really customize our bar menu to exactly what we wanted. Their professionalism, experience, and flexibility helped ensure that our wedding day was executed exactly how we envisioned. We highly recommend Main Event for your wedding or event!Main Event Caterers's reply:
Cosi, thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! From the very first tasting to your wedding day, it was such a joy to collaborate and bring your vision to life. Hearing that your guests chased down the fresh trays of crab cakes absolutely made our day! We’re happy our in-house equipment and rental coordination helped simplify the planning process, and that being able to customize your bar made things even more special. It was an honor to be part of your celebration, and we’re wishing you both endless happiness ahead! -

Not just food but amazing service
We cannot thank Main Event Caterers enough for making our wedding day truly unforgettable! From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative, organized, and attentive to every detail, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. Their professionalism and dedication to providing an exceptional experience for us and our guests were evident from start to finish.
One of the biggest concerns we had going into the wedding was finding a caterer that could accommodate my wife’s gluten-free needs. Main Event Caterers went above and beyond, not only offering a wide variety of gluten-free options but also making sure that everything was carefully prepared and cross-contaminant-free. My wife felt completely at ease, and we were both so impressed with their willingness to tailor the menu to ensure her dietary restrictions were fully respected. It truly meant the world to us.
Throughout the night, the entire staff at Main Event Caterers was phenomenal. Despite the whirlwind of activity, they made sure that my wife and I were taken care of, ensuring we had food and drinks throughout the night—even when things were at their craziest with us being the bride and groom. Their thoughtfulness and attention to our needs allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the evening, knowing we were in such capable hands.
And of course, the food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was a hit with our guests, and we’ve received countless compliments on how amazing the food was. The presentation was stunning, and each bite was better than the last. We are still hearing rave reviews about the meal from our friends and family!
Main Event Caterers didn’t just provide food—they provided a level of service, care, and quality that made our wedding day even more special. If you're looking for a caterer that will go above and beyond, offer incredible food, and make sure every guest (and especially the bride and groom) are taken care of, we cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you, Main Event Caterers, for being such a crucial part of our perfect day!-

A dream wedding for foodies
Main Event Catering catered our wedding on 11/16 and did a wonderful job. From the tasting to our event, their coordinator Ali was very professional, friendly, and helpful. As a family of foodies, delicious and diverse food was very important to us and every dish was a hit. Our event went smoothly, the food was delicious, and our guests couldn't stop talking about it for the weeks following.Main Event Caterers's reply:
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! As fellow foodies, we loved crafting a menu that we knew you—and your guests—would devour. It’s wonderful to hear that every dish was a hit and that the event went so smoothly. We’re honored to have been part of your wedding day! -

A cut above the rest
Not all caterers are made the same, and Main Event is proof. Their food is so much better than your average wedding food, and the service is outstanding. From the tasting, we knew they were the one. Everything was exceptionally delicious, and Ali was so informative and kind. They were easy to communicate with and flexible in the leadup to our wedding. On the day, we were blown away that the food tasted JUST AS GOOD as it did in the tasting!!! I couldn't believe it, I thought this was impossible with wedding food. Guests were running over to the waiters during cocktail hour to grab more tuna poke! Plus, Greg was literally waiting on our hand and foot – he attended to everyone at the head tables, asking for their drink of choice and keeping them refilled. At one point, I turned around on the dance floor and he was waiting with a glass of champagne. He read my mind! Our family was blown away by this, it made our wedding a night to remember. Main Event is the best caterer around, hire them for your wedding!!Main Event Caterers's reply:
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! From the tasting to the big day, being part of your wedding and helping everything run smoothly was such a joy. Hearing that the food held up as perfectly as it did in the tasting, and that Greg could anticipate your every need, truly makes our hearts happy. Your guests’ excitement and those little moments, like champagne on the dance floor, made the day unforgettable. Thank you for choosing us for your special day. -

Best Choice for Catering
The food and catering was the most important vendor to us for our wedding and we were having a really hard time deciding and sifting through reviews. I hope everyone reading this takes this review to heart because I remember how hard it was to know whether to trust the reviews or not. If you want the best food for your wedding then main event is 100% who to go with. We were blown away at the tasting but thought the food the day of would surely not be as good as the tasting meal for 2 once made for 120 people. Nope, the food made for our wedding for all these people was just as good as the day of the tasting, and every person who went is still raving about it. They were absolutely lovely through the whole planning process as well. We are so thankful we went with Main Event! -

There is a reason that everyone in the city recommends Main Event!
When planning our wedding, we just kept saying “we want food people will enjoy!” And oh man, did Main Event deliver! We did a cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres and a buffet with steak, salmon, farrotto, gnocchi, and grilled veggies. I saw people literally getting up for thirds! They also had a designated staff member to focus on us specifically during the reception, which was incredible. My husband and I were never without a drink in our hand or food when we wanted it. The event management/planning team was wonderful, attentive, and always available to answer our questions. The on-site staff was friendly and professional. We had a little snafu during the evening with a miscommunication on timelines, but the onsite team was quick to rectify things and the planning team followed up soon after the wedding. Overall fantastic, I highly recommend- they truly are the best. -

Incredible service!
We've received several compliments about the food at our March 2023 wedding, but there were even more guests who raved about the quality of service from the Main Event team! The entire staff was so organized and friendly, ensuring there were plenty of hors d'oeuvres going around at cocktail hour and everyone's glasses were never empty during dinner. We also appreciated some of the logistical things that Main Event helped us with, from last-minute adds to the guest count to the room flip between the ceremony and dinner. A+ service across the board! -

Good food for a good time
You know it's a good sign when guests tell you how good the food was at a wedding - MEC were the right choice! Melissa was easy to work with, helpful and communicative throughout the months leading up to our wedding. The pricing was competitive, and they had so many options on their menu so we were able to tailor the vision for our wedding. They executed the family style service so well, and the staff onsite were on top of everything. They work with an equipment vendor too that made the rental experience just as smooth. Go with them for your next event!Main Event Caterers's reply:
Congratulations on your wedding. Our entire team loved being a part of such a beautiful day with family and friends.

Amazing food, even better service!
We were thrilled with Main Event - from the very beginning of the process of sampling food options through to our wedding day, they over-delivered. Melissa was so kind, organized, responsive and helpful, and we felt very assured that she was coordinating with us and on-site on our wedding day! The food and service were excellent. We got compliments all night about everything from the appetizers to the wine. Melissa was determined to ensure we got to eat at our wedding, and boy, did she deliver. We had a server assigned to us, who brought us a tray of champagne, wine and water as well as a selection of appetizers immediately after our ceremony. She checked in with us throughout the night, bringing us new trays of food and drinks. I probably would have left hungry if it wasn't for her! We were so thrilled with how everything turned out, from the actual coordination through to the presentation and service. We will definitely work with Main Event in the future!Main Event Caterers's reply:

Delicious/great service
We loved working with Main Events Catering- during our tasting we were able to provide small feedback which was implemented during the day. The servers did amazing- as the bride/groom we were given a person waiter who made sure we were well fed! We had really delicious appetizers and entrees. All around great team to work with.Main Event Caterers's reply:

Amazing Catering!!
Main Event Catering is the best! We mainly worked with Ali who is absolutely amazing - she was so responsive to our many questions and helped us create the perfect catering menu and design. The tasting was so much fun and we knew we had chosen the right caterers - everything we tasted was delicious! They also have so many unique fun options to add - we chose an ice cream parlor which our guests loved in the summer heat. The service was also impeccable - the food came out quick and warm and wine and water glasses were always full. The special attention they gave to us as the bride and groom was also amazing - they made sure we got to try all the food we chose, and we were never lacking whatever drink we wanted! We are so thankful to Ali and everyone at Main Event Catering and would recommend them to anyone looking for amazing food and service!! -

Most Amazing Catering!
Main Event Caterers is a force to be reckoned with! From the very moment we went to our tasting, we knew right away that not only the food was impeccable, but the staff, service, attention to detail, and ease of the wedding planning process was the exact vibe we wanted and needed! Our event designer, Ali, was attentive, kind, organized, and helpful along the entire planning process, answering any and all questions and revising things as we went along! Our entire food selection, from the delicious scallop hors d’oeuvres, to the flavorful steak and chicken, to the dessert spread, all of the food came out prepared exactly as we remember from our tasting! On top of the food, the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and exceeded everyone’s expectations! We are so grateful for all of the hard work they put into our wedding day to make it the best day of our lives!-

Amazing!!!
I can't say enough good things about Main Event Catering. They were incredibly easy to work with and helped us customize an amazing menu, cocktail hour, and bar menu. The food was so delicious and they paid so much attention to myself and my husband during on the wedding day, we really felt welcomed by their team. We had a snafu with timing and this team jumped right on it and opened the bar early to keep our guests entertained and hydrated. I will be hiring them for every single event I do in the future - they were SO wonderful - 10/10 would recommend to everyone! -

Amazing to work with and delicious food
I cannot recommend Main Event enough. Ali was a true partner with us from the start--incredibly knowledgable, reassuring, responsive, and kind. On the wedding day the food was delicious, tables looked beautiful, and the whole team was so professional and great to work with. Going with Main Event was probably the decision made! Thank you, Ali, for everything! -

Cannot go wrong with Main Event!
We’ve loved working with Main Event over the years here at Fathom Gallery - Elyse is wonderful to work with and her staff is always fantastic! They execute all types of events seamlessly, from corporate receptions to weddings and everything in between, and past clients have raved about their food at their events.

The food and service was absolute perfection!
Our venue had a limited number of vendors they worked with, and Main Events was one of them. I am so glad that they were on that list because they seriously helped make our dream wedding come true. If you want your guests to repeatedly come up to you and say "This is the best food I've ever had at a wedding," you have to go with Main Events. As foodies, our number one goal was to feed our guests the best food and serve food that we both enjoyed. They had so many different selections and cuisines to choose from, so we were able to create a menu that was uniquely ours. What made the whole process so wonderful was Elyse. Her confidence is what drew me from the very beginning. She really made sure we were taken care of the entire time, and her team was excellent on the day of. Guests were also raving about the service. If you want your guests to get the best service and food, Main Events is hands down the way to go. This was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. -

Can’t say enough great things
Ali was our contact and from day one after speaking with her, I knew main event was the way we were going. She bent over backwards to make us happy. We had an American/Indian reception and main event was able to outsource the Indian food for us. I loved that they didn’t make an empty promise of saying they could handle the Indian food themselves. The American food that main event did handle was spectacular. We keep hearing from everyone how amazing our food was. We were also able to provide our own alcohol which I loved. We made changes at our tasting and they made those requested changes on the day of and I was very pleased with that. We had our “bride and groom stalker” and they were insanely attentive. We were at a different place in the venue changing for our reception and they effortlessly found us to provide us with our specialty drinks and hours d’ouerves. Then all night they checked on us and served us at our seats even though we had a buffet. But they were never over bearing or annoying. Seriously from beginning to end, I cannot say enough good things about main event. They are not cheap but I think they were very fair for what they delivered. I loved them!! -

Fantastic team, excellent service
Ali and the Main Event team were fantastic. From initial contact, to recommendations, the tasting event and the actual wedding, we couldn't be more pleased with their work! Initially, they provided great recommendations and ideas to help shape the final product. The tasting event was fun and just a great experience to finalize what we wanted. The day-of wedding service was fantastic. We'd highly recommend Main Event to anyone!-

Best Food I ever Had at a Wedding
We used Main Event for our wedding at Woodend Sanctuary in October and I will literally hire them for every event I can in the future. Working with Elyse was FANTASTIC and she/they made the whole process so easy. The food, drinks, and our donut wall for dessert was perfection. I can't tell you how many of our guests said it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. They were also super accommodating and made delicious mocktails that could be easily mixed with alcohol for non-drinkers and drinkers alike. They also served my husband and I smaller portions of all of our meal options since the food was so delicious we couldn't decide on just one! The day of staff was wonderful and professional. One of the biggest reasons we hired them was because they assigned my husband and I our own caterer to make sure we were personally taken care of and had a chance to eat and drink! I love Main Event and 10/10 recommend them! -

Delicious and attentive!
Main event caterers exceeded all expectations above and beyond. They arranged for everything the meals, the cutlery, the linens, the tables and chairs, the labor, etc. it was amazing that I didn’t have to find multiple vendors because main event did it all. I worked with Ali directly coordinating everything and she is such a sweetheart. I loved how well everyone on the team worked with each other. The food was delicious and beautiful. The staff were so kind. For everything that we got, not just for the event, but also the experience the day of, it was well worth the price. -

Guests RAVED about the food
Everyone absolutely loved the food (especially the Seared Wild Sea Bass with cured lemon + agave gastrique & guajillo + herb speckled glaze--but it was great across the board). I had so many sincere comments about it amazing and it being the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Elyse was so helpful through the planning process and the day of, Jack (our butler) and Marco (lead) were superb and anticipated the needs of everyone.
They had traditional and creative menu options. I really liked that at the tasting, they prepared the food using the methods they would use at the venue. Since the venue didn't have a kitchen, they have to parcook (I think that's the term?) things beforehand, and having them prepare it how it would actually be prepared the day of was really helpful. The vegetables were really impressively cooked--it seems small, but a lot of times you go to a wedding and the vegetables are boring and flavorless and overcooked because they're just steamed. Not these.
I love food so that was my main focus, but the linen & rental options gave us the feel we were looking for the day of.
Definitely recommend!-

Amazing Food, Outstanding Service
Main Event Caterers are top-notch! They were one of the first caterers I spoke with when I began planning my October 2020 wedding, and they were so informative on the phone! They answered all of my questions, and then were happy to talk with my parents before we signed a contract. When we did our tasting in December 2019 and March 2020, we had the best time! It was so hard to pick the main courses and hors d'oeuvres because everything tasted so good! When we had to delay our wedding because of Covid, the team helped reschedule everything in our contract for October 2022. When we finally reached out in early 2022 to restart planning, our original coordinator had retired, but we were very lucky to get matched with Jackie. She was so responsive to our emails, answering all of our questions about the menu, table settings, handling allergies, etc. with such detail! Our panicked emails over details were always met with calm, reassuring replies. She had worked with almost all of our other vendors, so she knew how to accommodate their preferences for set up. When we had some last minute guest cancellations, Jackie handled everything so smoothly. During the wedding, the serving team was EXCEPTIONAL. They were so kind and professional, and we heard compliments from our guests during the reception and the day after. AND THE FOOD! Definitely worth a two-year wait (and nothing on our original menu had to change!). You cannot go wrong with Main Event Caterers. They are the absolute best! -

Superior service
The service we received was perfect! They worked together like a well oiled machine! The food was delicious! Our guests raved about the appetizers and dinner! The plating and delivery was picturesque. We felt like royalty the whole day! As the bride and groom, we were checked on through out the whole event! I never had to ask for anything…a drink, food or a snack was always brought over to me! I would highly recommend Main Event!! -

Incredible food and service
Wow! We couldn't be more pleased with our catering from Main Event. They were absolutely incredible and everyone raved about our food. For cocktail hour, we got 3 passed hors d'voures and had 3 cocktail hour stations and it was a lot of food. People said they've never been so well fed at cocktail hour so clearly that went over well! The dinner entrees were also incredible and received rave reviews.
On a more personal note, it was so great how well the Main Event staff took care of us. Melissa, our event designer, was so responsive to every question we had during the planning process, and was accommodating when we changed our menu a few times. We also had a dedicated butler who was EXCELLENT at making sure I always had a constant stream of food being offered to me at cocktail hour. I was so happy with Main Event and would recommend them to anyone! -

Main Event Caterers are the best
Main Event Caterers provided an excellent catering experience. Melissa was extremely helpful with menu coordination and provided great advice on other aspects of the reception. The MEC catering staff were highly trained and courteous and the reception was enjoyed by all immensely. We strongly recommend Main Event Caterers. -

Great 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. -

Five stars!!
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! -

Great Service & Food!
We hired Main Event Caterers for our wedding in April 2022 and we're so happy that we chose them! The staff was attentive and professional, and the food was delicious! So many of our guests have commented on how delicious everything was, even weeks after the wedding :) Also, Main Event's sales/account team is fantastic. We worked closely with Ali and she was a dream to work with - so responsive, organized, and immensely helpful! -

Hire them today!
Main Event catered our wedding in April 2022 and everything was amazing! The food was delicious (our guests couldn't stop talking about it), the staff went above and beyond, and the rentals added so much to the design of the event. Melissa and Daniella were responsive and went the extra mile to make all of our wedding dreams come true. They walked us through the whole process from helping us develop a menu, to a date and venue change, a great tasting experience, and flawless execution on the day of. While the food was amazing, it's truly the whole staff at Main Event that made the event so perfect. We were taken care of throughout the whole wedding with such friendliness and attention to us and our families. We know picking a caterer is such an important decision but you can't go wrong with Main Event! -

Amazing 5 Star Experience!
I wish I could give Main Event more than 5 stars! Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with. She must have updated our menu 100 times, but was always very responsive and friendly. The tasting was so wonderful and the food the night of the wedding was just as great! The staff is top notch. They even had a waitress that catered just to my husband and I the entire night, making sure we got to enjoy our appetizers and always had a full glass. If you want excellent quality food and service, look no further! -

Great Experience with Main Event!
We loved working with Main Event for our big day. Ali did an amazing job guiding us through the process; she was communicative and very patient with my many questions! They welcomed us for our tasting, and we truly enjoyed everything we tried. I particularly loved that they partner with another vendor for any upgraded rentals you might like – we got gorgeous linens, table settings, and even furniture while keeping Ali as our main point of contact. That was so helpful and convenient for me since I was planning the wedding myself! On the day of, they were ready on time and the servers were very attentive to our guests. The food was delicious and looked so beautiful. They kept our guests happy, and everything went off without a hitch. Thank you Main Event! -

Extremely Professional and Delicious Food
Main Event Catering is truly a 5 star team in every way! I am a destination event planner who has worked with this team on numerous occasions and can't recommend them enough. Daniela Aroujo was our event's team lead from this past weekend's event in Old Town Alexandria and we could not have been more pleased with the outcome of our experience. She was prompt with communication leading up until the big day and went above and beyond to ensure the success of our couple's day when we were faced with an emergent flooding scenario in the city.
The team's servers and bartenders always come dressed professionally and are willing to do whatever it takes to ensure our couples have the event of their dreams. The food is delicious and the presentation is stunning. We would recommend this team to any of our couples and look forward to our next opportunity to work together. -

Incredible catering experience- worth every penny, hire them!
Main Event catered our wedding in September 2021- at an ourdoor private home venue.
The food was... INCREDIBLE! All of the guests were raving about the food, from the apps to the main courses to the gelato and everything in between. Not only did it look beautiful in presentation but it was served hot and it was all very delicious. The team worked with us to reschedule 4 times due to the pandemic and each time were so helpful and accommodating. The food options had incredibly variety, they helped us with meal vendors kids menus and food allergies. Again, the food itself was truly outstanding. The servers were amazing, all bartenders and wait staff were kind patient and professional. -

Best Decision Ever! Hire Them!
There is simply not enough space here to fully explain how awesome Main Event is, but trust me when I say that choosing them to cater our wedding was single-handedly the best choice we made in the entire planning process. From the very first conversation, we were blown away by their professionalism and expertise in the business. When learning we were working with Main Event, every single other vendor immediately said, "They are the absolute best - you are so lucky to be working with them." And they were right! They were organized, handled our event with care from the moment we first spoke with them, and the food was *delicious* to boot! Melissa especially is a dream to work with. She solved problems before they arose, helped us navigate aspects of wedding logistics that even extended beyond her portfolio, and went above and beyond to make herself available in communications for months ahead of the big day. We could just sit back and relax at our wedding knowing that Main Event had everything handled, which was the most priceless gift of all. Their servers made sure I never even had to approach the bar or ask for a glass of water! I cannot advocate harder for their services. Stop looking and hire them now! -

Outstanding food and service
I don't have room here to fully describe the outstanding experience we had with Main Event catering. We hired Main Event for our daughter's wedding last weekend and it was simply flawless. The food was perfect and delicious and the service was professional and well done. Melissa was our coordinator at Main Event. She was extremely patient with all of my questions and very prompt in her responses to my many emails. Every detail was carefully planned and executed. I give Melissa and Main Event my highest recommendation and I know I will hire them again for upcoming events. You will not find a better caterer! If you are shopping for a wedding caterer, your search is over....call Melissa! -

Truly Exceptional Experience
From our very first call with Melissa at Main Event, we were thoroughly impressed. She asked thoughtful questions, including inquiring about restaurants we specifically enjoyed in the area. These organically guided us to a potential theme for our menu. Then came our tasting, where Main Event pulled out all the stops. Our private tasting with the chef was incredible and we fell in love with the customized menu, elevated presentation, and top-notch service. Melissa nailed bringing to life the “Under the Tuscan Sun” ideas we had chatted about on the phone to life (think Aperol Spritz’s, Panzanella salad, Branzino, Chicken Picatta, and more). We opted for a Seafood forward cocktail hour -- don’t skip the mini lobster rolls -- our guests still talk about them!! Truly exceptional on all fronts from the food quality, service, and overall logistics. -

Amazing food, management and experience
I am so glad that we found Main Events during our vendor search - Spencer and Ali were extremely helpful during our whole process. From the initial planning sessions to the tasting and final planning/wedding day, Main Events were so helpful. They helped us think through design items as well as food options/timing. Not to mention the food is amazing and we got a lot of compliments from our guests on the food/drinks. Greg was our event supervisor and made the night absolutely amazing - he went out of his way to ensure that my husband, parents and I always had what we needed - and made us all feel special. Can't recommend them enough!! -

Incredible Food, Incredible Service
We hired Main Event after speaking with Spencer and Ali. They made the whole process extremely easy and enjoyable. Our venue needed everything but tables and chairs, and they provided everything for us. On the day of our wedding, we had no concerns about the day going smoothly. The food was unbelievable - everyone told us it was the best wedding meal they had ever had! The service was also impeccable - there was never a line at the bar and we even had our own attendant (Greg) who made us feel so special and taken care of the whole night. -

Excellent Service Across the Board
Truly can't say enough about how great our experience with Main Event was. Spencer and Melissa made the tasting, planning, coordinating, organizing, and everything else incredibly easy in advance of the wedding. They always offered input, ideas, and feedback but were also more than happy to follow our lead. Without a doubt they were the best catering option among the 10 or so that our venue allowed. On the day of the wedding, the service staff was absolutely outstanding in every way. They were quick to set up, did everything perfectly, and transformed a tented terrace into a beautiful dining room. The food was astounding, the service was impeccable, the bar was great (we got countless compliments on our bartender), and breakdown was quick and easy. Main Event was a critical part of our special day, and they executed everything perfectly. -

Having a wedding in the middle of a global pandemic presents many challenges. Main Event met them all and won. The food was delicious, served beautifully and safely. The service was seamless...the staff was efficient, friendly, polite and unobtrusive. You didn’t have to ask for anything...it’s as though everything magically appeared.

Their food was to die for!
If I could eat their short rib for every meal, I would. Every step of the prices with Main Event was a joy. We knew we were in the right place when we walked in their door and the handing us champagne! They made us feel like the most important people in the world during every interaction. It was a special touch that they made sure we spoke to the chef before signing the contract. That way we could talk likes, dislikes, and guest food allergies with the person directly responsible for the food.
Every guest I interacted with raved about how delicious this food was. The service was also great and knowing that everything was taken care of at the end of the night gave me piece of mind. They even answered my questions about recycling! A+ vendor! -

Simply amazing!
Main Event was the most spectacular catering company, and made our wedding simply fantastic. Spencer and his team were amazing during the initial consult, presenting various menu option that were in line with our winter wedding theme, as well as linen, place setting and glass options. The tasting was some of the best food I ever had – we left stuffed, and they made it very special. From a personal parking spot, to champagne during the actual tasting, it was AMAZING! The quality of the ingredients, the vastness of the selection, and the deft with which they put it all together were amazing. We did a dual entrée with short rib and crab cakes, along with parmesan polenta and roasted brussels. Passed hors d’oeuvres included lobster rolls, mini duck tacos, and butter chick on small naan bread – all of which reflected us perfectly as a couple. I could go on and on about the food, but the SERVICE was impeccable. We had our own assigned served who anticipated and met our every need; she even comforted by 3 year old when she started to have a tantrum. This included bringing us a signature cocktail and hors d’oeuvres right after the ceremony, to getting me water while dancing the night away on the dance floor. My guests have been raving about the food since we had the wedding over a month ago! The best decision you will ever make is hiring Main Event!! The made the wedding unforgettable!-

Main Event knocked it out of the park: Everyone LOVED the food!
With so many caterers to choose from, my husband and I know we made the RIGHT CHOICE with Main Event. We worked primarily with Spencer and Jackie, and they were a dream team who helped us realize our vision for a seasonal holiday wedding, complete with food that our guests RAVED about. One of our VIP guests emailed us after the wedding with this to say about the food: "Our dinner was amazing. Loved the salad and licked my plate to get every grit and crab cake...and the beef melted in my mouth! We had so much fun at our table and enjoyed every morsel!!!"
Also wanted to give a shout-out to the superb chefs, servers, and bartenders, especially the super nice lady who took such GOOD care of me and my husband during our wedding, making sure we had enough to eat and drink despite the whirwind of activity. From setup to breakdown, everything went SO smoothly. I can't recommend Main Event enough. You will not regret it! -

Great people, great food
Overall, we had a really great experience. Alex at Toolbox (our venue) recommended us, and were particularly glad that they had worked with the venue before. Elyse in particular was really helpful in both the planning and the project wrangling, and we just had a lovely time with her and Lenore during the tasting. Everything about the day-of came together nicely and smoothly - the food was great (especially the appetizers and the ravioli), the decorations looked lovely, and the staff was helpful and professional. -

Excellent food & service!
We were impressed with Main Event Caterers from the very beginning of our wedding planning process. They were always super responsive, and we had a phenomenal tasting that made them an obvious choice for our wedding reception. There were a lot of decisions regarding menus, drinks, table settings, etc. and they were so helpful in guiding our decisions. We specifically worked with Spencer and Adeline, and we couldn't have asked for a better team! Our guests raved about the food and drinks; we were so grateful for the Main Event staff (chefs, servers, bartenders, etc.) who made it all happen. We especially liked that a server specifically brought us a plate of all the passed hors d'oeuvres to try (and also made sure our glasses were never empty!) and also sent us home with hors d'oeuvres, entrees, and desserts to eat after the reception. Luckily, we were able to eat during the reception, but it was extra special to have it all again the next day. Food is such a huge part of a memorable wedding, and Main Event made ours extra special! -

Great Food, Rentals, and Service!
We worked with Main Event for our wedding and they were amazing! As a bride and also a wedding planner I could not recommend them enough! They helped us with catering as well as with our rentals and both were exactly what we wanted. The food was great, and their rentals/decor really helped bring our vision to life. Their entire team was very responsive and helpful, which helped us stay organized through the entire planning process. -

Wedding Caterer Perfection!
Main Event Catering’s entire team was amazing to work with. During our initial meetings with the Main Event team, everyone was courteous and professional and really invested in ensuring we had the best catering experience possible. They worked with us through all of the details of their food and drink offerings and provided a delicious tasting for us. They also had various check in meetings with us prior to our wedding to ensure things were on track and they were constantly updating our wedding catering plan to ensure it contained the most accurate and update information so there would be no surprises from a cost perspective. During our wedding, the staff was nothing short of amazing. Approximately 20 individuals were present to serve food and alcohol to our guests and one gentleman in particular made sure all of our requests were tended to personally. Immediately following our wedding ceremony, this individual helped escort us to a private area for a few minutes so we good catch a moment with each other as bride and groom. As we had our private moment, we were presented with a tray of hour dorves and our signature cockail drinks - ensuring we didnt miss anything from our cocktail reception. During the reception, the same individual constantly checked on us to ensure we had our needs tended to and made sure we had our dinners delivered ahead of everyone else to allow us additional time to tend to our guests and other scheduled events. The entire staff was high professional and a joy to work with. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for catering services!

Absolutely amazing!!!
I cannot speak highly enough for Main event caterers, especially Melissa! They did the most fantastic job, had the best food, and had the most professional operation with their staff.
I was looking for caterers around the holidays last year and they were the first vendor to respond to me (the same night I emailed them!). After a phone conversation they got me a quote that was very reasonably priced for the area.
Throughout the entire wedding planning process it was such a great experience. Every person from Maine Event that I met and talked to along the way was just fantastic. Their entire process for how they work with a couple to talk through all your options and choose the food, linens, etc was just so professional and really fun for us as a couple. As our lead Melissa did an unbelievable job. She was so responsive to myself and my husband (who probably called her 100 more times than I ever did lol).
Most importantly the food was UNREAL. We have had people talking about it for weeks after. The hors d’oeuvres were a hit (shout out to the lamb shank lollipops) and the main course was fantastic. The actual catering staff also did an amazing job. We had a dedicated waiter at our sweetheart table taking care of us and looking out for me to make sure that I actually sat down and ate dinner.
When you are planning a wedding there are so many stresses but Melissa and Main Event really took a lot of that stress off of me by being responsive and being reassuring that everything would go smoothly. It was absolutely worth every penny we spent. -

Amazing Service, Delicious Food, All Around Perfect!
Over a year out from our wedding, we did a tasting with Main Event and after that, decided we didn't need to do any other tastings. Anytime we told a vendor we had Main Event for our catering, we got extremely positive feedback, which we knew was a good sign before we even personally worked with them! Courtney was super helpful in assisting us on menu options and selections and overall design of our catering. While we continued to make some changes and reach out with questions leading up to our wedding, she was always super responsive and helpful with getting back to us. As we got closer to our wedding day, Liz, our Event Manager, was extremely communicative and made sure we knew exactly what information needed to be provided and when. We ended up also having to make some last minute adjustments, but that was not an issue at all. On our wedding day, all of the food was delicious, as we expected, but the service was even better than we expected. First course was plated beautifully for guests prior to their entrance into the reception and when it came to entrees, we had multiple guests tell us how nicely the entrees were served by the personnel (a full table all at once). Greg, our supervisor for the day, went above and beyond to make sure we were both taken care of and not once were we empty handed looking for a drink the entire night. He even came to find us in the crowd of wedding guests on the dance floor to offer glasses of water. All in all, the food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and we'd highly recommend Main Event to anyone looking for a caterer that will exceed your expectations! -

A Wedding to Remember
Perfect, Delicious Food and a Five Star Team! Thank you Main Event Caterers for a wedding to remember! We are still receiving rave reviews on the food at our daughter’s wedding and really appreciate all the hard work you invested in our special day and the wonderful care you showed our guests.
Thank you Michelle Gutstein for walking with us through this very important event, guiding us with your expertise from day one and ensuring our event was a huge success. We had heard from others about the stresses of planning a wedding, but you and Main Event Caterers made it fun and stress-free.
We were so happy with our daughter’s wedding and just as happy to give Main Events Caterers our highest recommendation! -

Was worried at times but they pulled through!
At the beginning of hiring them, we had some turnover with our catering manager, we were getting a bit nervous but they put one of their leads on our case, Courtney, so that she could assure us great service! It was amazing, the food was SOO GOOD!!! And people care about food, don’t let someone tell you they don’t, because they do! They were flexible and easy to work with via email. I would definitely use them again! -

Excellent service & delicious food - even vegan options!
Book them! The food is excellent. The staff is great. The service at our event was seamless. Our guests were very happy!
We had a terrific experience with Main Event from the first email, to the tasting, through the planning process, all the way to our wedding day.
I am vegan and my husband is not. When we began looking at caterers, we knew we needed to find someone who could do both -- and it all had to be delicious! Main Event did not disappoint.
For any vegan couples out there, Main Event worked with us to offer truly interesting dishes! No boring mushroom burgers or cauliflower steaks. We had vegan mushroom soup and ravioli and rissotto. We had a dessert table, and chef was able to make at least a handful of the dessert options vegan. It was all good! Even non-vegan guests enjoyed their dishes. Score!

We are so happy with Main Events. Catering is probably the biggest decision you will make for your wedding. We were in good hands with Main Events. They answered all of our questions throughout the process and worked with us every step of the way. Their staff is very friendly and most importantly, their food is amazing. As we walked around meeting guests, I saw that their plates were wiped clean! We worked with Liz Arline and she was really great and on top of everything. Everything was flawless! -

Best caterer we could ask for!
We’re so happy that we chose Main Event as our caterer. We’ve been in contact with Courtney and Liz as we went along with the planning and they are tremendous. They are just lovely people and were so helpful and accommodating during our planning process. They went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect, we just loved everything from the first tasting to the last bite of dessert. Their staff at our wedding were so professional and efficient!! They’re a well oiled machine that kept everything moving at a perfect pace. We don’t have a single complaint, everything from the food to the correspondence is just everything you could ever ask for! -

Treat yourself and your guests to a meal they will never forget!
We booked Main Event Caterers for our wedding and have absolutely no regrets! After our original caterer cancelled due to closing their business, our photographer recommended Michelle at Main Event Caterers. My husband and I worked with Michelle and Melissa throughout the process, and they were both fabulous. Our vision was for a cocktail style reception, so we wanted the food to be playful and different from your typical fish, chicken, or beef menu. Main Event Caterers blew us away by what they could do for our wedding – every dish is expertly crafted. Michelle was wonderful in pulling together our menu and scheduling a tasting. We selected more of a Mediterranean-style menu that could accommodate any dietary restriction (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, nut free). Michelle was very professional and patient as we went back and forth a few times changing the menu. Later in the process I worked with Melissa to select our linens and draft our floor plan for the wedding. Melissa listened to what we wanted and provided some great ideas/alternatives that would make wedding flow seamlessly. On the day of Michelle was our lead coordinator and she made sure my husband and I had food or drinks at any time. We had one or two guests drop drinks and within seconds staff were cleaning up the glass. If you work with Michelle or Melissa, trust their expertise - they have impeccable taste. Main Event Caterers staff is so talented and service oriented, they will make your wedding or event exceed expectations! -

Amazing Food and Exceptional Service!!!
We shopped around for wedding caterers but stopped as soon as we did a tasting with Main Event Caterers! The quality, taste and presentation was incredible! We literally liked everything on the menu. They were not the cheapest in town, but they were woth every penny! The staff was amazing and worked with us every step of the way! In my opinion, the one thing people remember at a wedding reception is the food. And ALL our guests were happy with the food. Thanks Main Event for helping make our wedding an unforgettable evening! -

Main Event Caterers Is Beyond Incredible
Main Event Caterers is one of the best catering experts I have ever dealt with. I selected them due to their attention to detail, thought leadership, and service. Our Buffet wedding menu was over the top in terms of quality, presentation and taste. On site servers and staff was very attentive to all 129 guests and pampered everyone's needs. -

Catering with a Personal Touch
Main Event Caterers really took the cake. We had a demanding menu, no tree nuts, and they knocked it out of the park. We really enjoyed the flat iron steak with chimichurri sauce. Our guests raved about the personal touch of the waiters who went above and beyond doing many things, like entertain kids, so their parents could eat. We actually ATE both dinner and hor d'ourves and DRANK. The waiter following us around during happy hour was fantastic. From other weddings stories, most of our married friends mentioned ordering pizza on the way to the honeymoon suite, but we felt well taken care of. -

Food Heaven
Spencer and his team were amazing at our tasting!! From start to finish they put out the “red carpet” and presented the most beautiful and delicious food options I’ve ever tasted! Such a first class experience!
With such a wonderful tasting experience, we knew Main Event was the best choice for our wedding! The Main Event team ensured the food was perfect, drinks were always filled and no one needed anything. They took their jobs so seriously and made a personal connection with our guests, which meant the world to us!
Thank you for the perfect day!Main Event Caterers's reply:

When it's good it's good!!!
When you have a caterer that your guest are still talking about the food almost 2 weeks later and saying it is the best catering they ever had... you know you chose right. From the very beginning working with Main Event Caterers (more specifically the marvelous Rachel and wonderful Elyse) has been an absolute pleasure. Main Event Caterers went above and beyond during our tasting to give a us a one of a kind experience that reflected our Harry Potter themed wedding beautifully. They left no detail untouched. During the year leading up to the wedding, they were flexible and accommodating and made changes that fit our needs. The responsiveness, care and understanding Main Event Caterers puts into their clients is top notch. The staff the day of our wedding (butlers, supervisors, and bartenders) were outstanding and our guests loved how festive and kind they were. We could not have picked a better catering team. If you have the pleasure of working with them you will not be disappointed nor will you have to worry about a thing. Thank you Main Event Caterers, Rachel, Elyse, and event staff... you made our day MAGICAL!!!Main Event Caterers's reply:

We didn't ever worry... it was just delicious!
Working with Main Event was seamless. They were the third caterer we approached for our wedding, and they did not disappoint. At their tasting, absolutely everything was delicious. To me, that's a sign of a true professional: someone who cares that every single dish is delicious, every time. It didn't matter if it was vegetarian or a salad or an appetizer, all were fabulous. We love to cook, and we were proud to have Main Event's food at our reception. Kind of surprisingly, one of our favorite dishes was their orzo salad: it had fresh herbs, the orzo was cooked perfectly, it was balanced with acidity from lemon... So good. We had a few suggestions for dishes that were sentimental to us, and they were more than happy to accommodate us.
Our event also involved some complicated logistics: we were untented outdoors, and the ceremony space had to be flipped into dinner during cocktail hour. It went without a hitch. We also had a rain plan sketched out that involved moving indoors, just in case. I'm confident it would've been done right if that were necessary. Leading up to the event, Cailyn did a great job. Day of, the whole team, including all the service and logistical staff, were true pros!
The highest praise we can give is that we didn't worry about the food - we just figured it was going to be amazing and (to us) it felt like it just happened. Main Event was a valued member of our team, and I would recommend them without reservation to anyone. -

Perfect Caterer for the Dream Wedding!
The Main Event Catering team are perhaps the most professional people we have ever worked with. From the initial proposal to the wedding itself, Main Event put their best foot forward and held nothing back in ensuring our wedding was as memorable and stress free as could be. Throughout the planning process, Main Event was responsive and detailed in response to all of our questions and ideas. We felt that Main Event could put nearly any idea we had in mind for food or rentals into action - and they did, especially with the donut wall we wanted for dessert! Main Event was extremely accommodating with dietary restrictions, and coordinated a beautiful tasting to help us decide our menu. At the event itself, Main Event was very receptive to ideas or last minute changes as we adjusted for weather. The Main Event Staff worked tirelessly outside in the pouring rain to ensure that our wedding was a memorable and enjoyable evening. Every server and staff member was pleasant and kind - some of the children in attendance made fast friends with one server in particular, who kept running in and out of the pouring rain to make them laugh! Liz and Michelle were both professional and more than we could have hoped for. -

Best Caterer Around
I've worked in catering for 15 years and as a photographer for the same amount of time. I planned my whole wedding myself and know what I'm talking about. The decision to hire Main Event was an absolute no-brainer. I even told them to skip the tasting and just send me the menu. Why? Let me tell you.
Caterers are for two things: 1) great food and 2) excellent service. Main Event is the place to go for both. The food was spectacular. I've been married now for 6 weeks and every time I see someone who was at my wedding, they are still talking about the food. Those short ribs. Ugh, out of this world. We're a couple focused on making sure everyone is included, comfortable, and taken care of. I asked Main Event to prepare any vegetarian dish as a vegan dish to ensure that everyone had plenty to eat. And because the food was so delicious, I don't think people ate much dessert. Good problem to have.
But as astonishingly good as the food was, it's always the service that makes the difference. Our team was wonderful. From Michelle and Melissa and Daniel in the office to Melissa and June on site to our team of servers and bartenders, the drivers, the chefs, etc. we just had the A-Team all around. Blue Hill Farm is not an easy venue to work in as a caterer with uneven terrain, everything being outdoors, wet grass from torrential rain the day before the wedding, restrictions on parking and truck placement, etc. the space is just a physically difficult place to work. But the service staff, after unloading the trucks, carrying all the equipment across fields, setting up the reception, ceremony, and cocktail hour, and just generally busting their asses, still stopped at every chance to smile at my guests, ask them what they need, and deliver the kind of hospitality that sets Main Event apart from everyone else. And from my guests, they were stunned at how friendly, excited, and willing the staff was to produce anything at any time. Hospitality is very important to me and taking care of our guests from start to finish for our wedding was priority number one. And that's why I picked Main Event. And even knowing what I knew about them, I STILL got more than I asked for. Thank you to the whole team from the bottom of my heart. You're the best.Main Event Caterers's reply:

Delicious food and great service!
We are so happy we chose Main Event to cater our wedding. The food was absolutely delicious. We received so many compliments from our guests who said they are used to wedding food being 'meh' but this food impressed them! I received such great service from the tasting to the actual wedding day and during the entire wedding planning process. I loved the server in charge of making sure the groom and I constantly had a drink in our hands :)Main Event Caterers's reply:

Main Event was such a great catering service to have on my Big Day. I initially contacted 7 catering services but decided to go with Main Events because of their VERY quick response, reasonable prices, and flexibility to change the menu to my wants. Liz did an amazing job contacting me and providing suggestions. At the tasting it was hard to just pick between all the options. On the day of the bartenders did an amazing job at getting drinks out to large crowd. My husband and I were also provided with our own personal "butler" who constantly check on us to bring us drinks and food. She was absolutely amazing and so sweet. -

Main Event was recommended to us by our venue. I cannot sing their praises enough. They gave us a truly customized menu that spot on and absolutely delicious. We looked at multiple caterers, asking for appetizers that reflected my husband’s Asian heritage and palate, and most places offered us “Asian inspired” foods that were very inauthentic- like adding some mandarin oranges or dried ramen-type noodles on top of a salad. Main Event pulled out all the stops with pork buns and a sushi station (a HUGE hit at the wedding) that pleased even the relatives from Hong Kong. Our menu was totally personalized for our tastes, including recreating my sangria recipe. Everything was so delicious- our friends are still talking about how much they loved the food! Michelle was incredibly professional and accommodating, and worked hard to make sure my mother was happy and that everything went smoothly the day of. She even coordinated to have snacks and drinks brought to my husband and I after the ceremony. I can not recommend this caterer enough! -

Main Event was fantastic! We worked with Spencer as he had tons of experience catering weddings at our location (Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria). We also worked with Alison, and both were quick to respond to our questions, super friendly, and helpful as we refined our menu. At the wedding, Main Event's Jack made sure everything went perfectly -- including that we had food waiting for my husband and me in a side room right after the ceremony. An additional thing we appreciated with Main Event was that we could supply our own alcohol, which allowed us to save a lot of money. I highly recommend Main Event! -

It was such a pleasure to work with A Main Event to cater our wedding at Shadow Creek. They did an incredible job from start to finish. So many of our guests complemented on the quality of the food, it was definitely beyond our expectations. We were also blown away by their exceptional service and the professionalism of their catering staff. Spencer and Ali were very responsive and easy to work with. We are thrilled with how everything came out and will definitely be using A Main Event for future events! -

We really enjoyed working with Main Event for our wedding! The food was delicious and portions were as expected. Our guests loved more hearty apps like pulled pork sliders and burger sliders! The late night soft pretzel wall was a big hit! Liz and Courtney were super responsive and great to work with. They helped us maximize our venue and everything look elegant and clean! Staff was very responsive, especially to brie and groom, and dinner was served to 125 guests plated in just about an hour! Highly recommend Main Event! -

We used Main Event Catering for our 110 person wedding in Washington, D.C. We had done several tastings prior to visiting Main Event and were feeling a little down about our options for the big day. Then we went to our tasting at Main Event. We felt like VIPs from the moment we arrived at their location in Arlington. We had a special parking space and were shown to their beautiful tasting room. Elyse McFadden was our main point of contact (and continued to be throughout the planning process). She was such a joy to work with. She is incredibly competent, experienced, and easy to work with. We LOVED the food and specialty cocktails at the tasting. We were amazed by how delicious everything was, and thought it wouldn't be possible that they could replicate such deliciousness en masse for 110 people. However, they truly delivered. All of our food was excellent. The set up for the event was also wonderfully-executed and all of the waitstaff who attended to us and our guests were so warm, friendly, and attentive. We would recommend Main Event to anyone. -

Main Event was all around excellent - the food was delicious, their consultations before the event were professional and helpful, and the day-of service was very impressive. We had a cocktail style reception with heavy hors d'ouerves, which means going against traditional wedding conventions and I was worried about pulling it off. Main Event made it happen. Our guests were happy - we heard a lot of praise for the non-conventional style - food was served throughout the night, no one went home hungry, and Main Event servers kept regularly clearing the tables throughout the evening. We are so glad we picked Main Event to cater our wedding, they made all the pieces come together! -

We highly recommend Main Event Caterers! We were blown away by the tastings, and the night-of meal delivered on that promise! We worked with Courtney and Rachel and both were extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. They received such high praise from our attendees - everyone was nuts about the beef short ribs. There was a waiter who made sure that we always had a drink ready and kept hors d'oeuvres coming our way. -

My husband and I hosted the September wedding of our daughter and her fiancee at Rockwood Manor in Potomac, MD. The food and service provided by Main Event Caterers was outstanding! They may not be the least expensive in the area but we felt that everything they did definitely was worth it. The staff was professional and very friendly and our guests could not stop talking about the presentation and taste of the vegetarian menu. We did plated and the bride and groom and all of us thought Main Event was a real good choice and a great memory. Thank you!

MEC was the caterer for our November 2017 wedding and over a month later we are still receiving compliments from our friends & family about the food!! We worked with Spencer throughout the planning process and he was awesome. He was super informative and helped us create an amazing buffet spread with all of our favorite seasonal fall dishes. We really appreciated that he attended our venue walk-through and gave us the run-down of how the catering services would shake out on the day of the wedding. Not only does Spencer have a ton of experience in the wedding/catering industry, but you can tell all the catering staff are experienced as well. Food was our top priority for the event and it did not disappoint. At the end of the night MEC packed up leftovers for us to take home as well which was great for our day-after hangovers! We can't recommend MEC enough. -

We had a fantastic experience with Main Event from the moment we submitted a request for a proposal. Elyse put together an outstanding proposal that fit perfectly within our budget while also providing us with our top priorities for our wedding. Furthermore, prior to the tasting, she went through numerous revisions with us so we could get exactly what we wanted and try a range of options. On the day of the tasting, Main Event pulled out all the stops to make it a special and fun experience and followed up the day after to address all of the questions and changes we discussed during the actual tasting. After we chose Main Event, our planning process was easy and professional. We were able to go through numerous revisions of our plan with ease and managed to get the price down even lower from the initial proposal, ending up way under budget. (I cannot stress this enough since a number of caterers in DC told us it would be impossible for us to come even close to our budget, which was not exactly unreasonably low). The day of was executed perfectly. The food was fantastic. The service was excellent. The catering manager ensured that we were well fed and got to try everything. I could seriously have not been happier with my choice to use Main Event. -

We hired them to cater a wedding of 160+ people and they did a phenomenal job. Food was one of the highest priority items for us and Main Events just knocked it out of the park. Also, did I mention that they had incredible vegetarian options and were very accommodating about dietary restrictions? Just amazing.
Everyone was astounded at the quality of food they were served. And almost just as important, their service was absolutely top notch. Would highly recommend them! -

We are fresh off of our wedding and are still so impressed with the job that Main Event did for us. They the very definition of class. Food can be a critical detail of your wedding that people will remember and we got nothing but compliments at the highest praise for the food and service we got from them. There was never a line for the bar, they were rolling out our signature drinks in style, our guests did not have to wait long between courses at all and everywhere we looked, people were happy. Michelle was wonderful to work with, she ran the show behind the scenes at our event and it was flawless. The chairs, linens, chargers and place settings were gorgeous and we could not be happier with the job that Main Event did. They literally treated us like royalty and we are forever grateful! HIGHLY recommend! -

Main Events is Fantastic! We really appreciated how promptly we had our tasting and knew immediately after trying their food that we would be in good hands. Spencer and Jackie put together a great menu for us and the communication to finalize details was always timely and on point. On our actual wedding day, the Main Events staff arrived promptly and were so professional and hard working. The food at the reception was delicious and we got so many nice compliments from our guests. We also liked that Main Events is a no-waste kitchen and committed to providing great food in a responsible way. -

The Main Event Catering team were a dream to work with for our wedding! Spencer and Jackie on their team were incredibly responsive and attentive during the planning process and knew the ins and outs needed for planning at our venue (Shadow Creek). Most answers to our questions were given within a day turnaround, which was so great! From our initial tasting, I knew we needed to select Main Event. Their team executed our wedding reception with outstanding food and top notch service. We even received several compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was! We would definitely recommend going with Main Event Catering for your wedding or event, you will not regret it! -

We worked with Main Event for our wedding at Top of the Town. We chose them because they were highly recommended by our venue. They were so easy to work with and delivered high quality food and experience. Our event required them to flip part of the room from the ceremony into dinner seating. They did this so quickly and professionally. In addition, the food was delicious and they actually made sure we ate! They were not the cheapest option we considered, but their professionalism and quality were well worth it. -

It was a great experience getting to work with Main Event. They provided a great atmosphere and variety. They had a lot of great choices and they really worked me and worked within my budget to provide me everything I was looking for. Everyone LOVED the braised short rib beef they served. It felt like a very elegant affir. The only con I had was that I felt that I ended up with several different people throughout my time with them and so sometimes I felt like I had to repeat myself. However, the day of the wedding, everything was perfect! The food and service was top-notch. Very professional and Korey, who was the one at the wedding, was amazing! He made us feel like everything was taken care of and he took care of us as well. During our cocktail hour, we were doing portraits and Korey brought us out out drinks and appetiziers just for us so that we were able to enjoy the food as well. They also provided us with a wedding cake and I just wanted something very plain and they also added fresh flower petals to make it look very elegant. Very thoughtful and very accomodating! Would recommend to anyone! The quality of food for the price we received was worth it! -
