Kate Sent on 11/26/2023Delicious food, excellent communication and service
Main & Market Catering ensured delicious food and drink, as well as gorgeous table spreads, at our wedding at London Town. All of our guests are still raving about the food and service. As the bride and groom, we hadn’t expected to have a chance to eat much throughout the busy day, but M&M took care of us by assigning someone—Jackie—to check in and bring us hors d’oeuvres and drinks. We’ll never forget how much we appreciated her that day!
Not only was M&M fabulous on the wedding day, but they were also great to work with for the entire 13 months leading up to our wedding. Kim was always so responsive whenever we had an update or questions, and she communicated well across us and our wedding coordinator—in fact, we found our coordinator on Kim’s recommendation, which turned out to be yet another fabulous decision. Kim also gave us advice on counts and what food options best fit our vision. Kim set up, and accompanied us on, a visit to a rental company to pick our linens and dinnerware, too. Moreover, Kim personally attended both our tasting and our on-site venue walkthrough, where her expertise once again proved crucial as we decided what tables should go where; she also volunteered to add some small rentals to our order once we realized we needed them, like an easel. That was the last thing I would have wanted to worry about doing myself at that moment—yet another reason out of many as to why we are thrilled that we went with Main & Market.
Main & Market is a high-quality vendor that you can trust. We are thrilled to have used them. -

Rachel Sent on 10/23/2024Great Experience!
Main and Market was everything we were looking for in a caterer. Kim helped us create the most amazing meal for our guests and everyone absolutely loved it. Everyone was professional, kind, and helpful. In addition, the service staff that helped us were AMAZING. Casey was our lead server for our wedding and he made sure we got food first and was super helpful the whole night. I will be using Main and Market for any catering needs I may have in the future and will be recommending them to any and everyone. -

We had an incredible experience with Main and Market from the start. We started with a 120-person wedding and squished it down to 74. Kim was the most patient, kind, and helpful vendor and was such a savior during so many parts of the planning process.
I did all of the initial wedding planning until I caved and got a day-of planner 3 months before our wedding date (who was also recommended by Kim and a DREAM to work with). Kim walked me through overall catering needs, logistics of everything from recommended number of food options for cocktail hour, reception, and after-party down to how to arrange the bar and pros/cons of bringing in more vendors for outside food or not. She never made us feel like she had any other intentions but to just genuinely give us the honest truth about what we were getting ourselves into with each decision. And thank goodness, because doing this all on my own for the first 9 months was A LOT.
She was so responsive and patient with my 900 menu changes and indecisiveness on menu, flatware, and linens. She made sure we had awareness of all guest allergies and food restrictions so our menu was safe for everyone and WOW were we blown away by the options. Food tasting there was SO fun and one of the highlights of my and my husband's experience during the planning process. Beyond the food being absolutely delicious, they were so generous with letting us sample options we were deciding between and let us have creative direction where needed. Our favorites were bringing a breakfast dessert to our reception dessert and making them personal sized for a buffet style dessert. We had so much fun picking flavor options and truly making this our own, from everything down to the design on our cake.
We've been to plenty of weddings where the food dries out or isnt cooked enough or just wasnt as good as it seemed to be when the couple did their tasting, but O M G!!!!! The food was amazing. Presentation was incredible for every meal and their staff was so fun. We don't love when staff pretend they're invisible at weddings because we want everyone to have a good time and feel like they're part of the fun and they were all SO sweet, complimenting us, saying how fun the night was and just being such a positive energy in the room. It was so fun to pass them and see them all genuinely smiling and seeming excited. We were so grateful for the experience from start to finish.
We will 700% recommend this team to anyone looking, weddings or not, and use them for any future events we need catering for. Thank you, Kim and your whole team for all you did. We are forever grateful. -

Main and Market and in particular Kim Parker were perfect to work with. Our reception was very beautifully done. The food was perfect and the service was wonderful. We received many complements on the food selections and service staff. We consider the value we received for what we paid to be outstanding. -

Hannah Sent on 09/10/2024Incredible, Amazing, we love Main & Market
Catering was the thing we were most nervous about for our wedding, but Main & Market hit it out of the park from Day One. We loved everything about working with them. Kim was amazing to coordinate with, and the rest of the team from rentals to the wedding day staff was just a joy. Every single person was amazing.
But the food -- WOW. We served a buffet style meal with two entree options: pineapple jerk chicken and ratatouille polenta. We loved the polenta so much and it was honestly the star of the night. Everybody talked about the food! The sides were incredible, the desserts were so tasty, and we also got a LOT of compliments on the cornbread.
You can't go wrong with Main & Market. We highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend! Thank you for everything! -

Ilma Sent on 05/30/2024Top Notch Service!
Our experience with M&M was amazing from start to finish. Nanette, our sales consultant, was fabulous to work with. She was super responsive to all of my questions throughout the whole planning process. The day of service was top notch, all of the M&M staff were so professional and kind. Our guests raved about the food, particularly the apppetizers (we had beef empenadas, crab cake, chicken skewers & spring rolls) and cake. We had several guests tell us we had the best wedding food they've ever had. I would hire M&M again in a heartbeat! -

Brian Sent on 05/21/2024Our Wedding Experience!!!
We would not change a thing about our special day and certainly have Main & Market to thank! Kim is super responsive and amazing at getting all the details together. Our cake vendor fell through as well and Main & Market was already our caterer and was able to take over and give us an amazing cake too! Seriously cannot thank them enough and they will make sure all the details are covered for your special day! -

Megan Sent on 05/24/2023Guests are still gushing about the food a month later!
Working with Kim at Main and Market to plan the food and beverage portion of our wedding was a wonderful experience. She collaborated with us to design the perfect menu, and was a great partner in actualizing our vision. Any adjustment or tweak was taken in stride, and she was entirely respectful of our budget.
Kim's team onsite the day of the wedding was absolutely fabulous. There was always a staff member stepping up with a drink or snack whenever I looked up from a conversation on my wedding day. They were so lovely to work with, and our guests continue to compliment the quality of food AND service a month later. Many have asked for the caterer's details so they too can work with such a great company!

We had a wonderful time and could not have done it without main and market! They were super flexible and handled everything from rentals, food, drink and most importantly cake. My friends and family were raving about the food and no one was left hungry. My husband and I were also taken care of during the event too and had plenty of food. The drinks were a hit too. Highly recommend the margaritas! -

Karlie Sent on 01/12/2023Incredible experience with Main & Market!
Our wedding was perfect and the team at Main & Market could not have been a better catering service to work with. The food was absolutely delicious (crowd favorites for the crab dip, the tortellini, and the salmon). The food service was incredibly efficient, nobody had to wait for the passed hors d'oeuvres and the dinner service ran very smoothly. My husband and I were never once contacted on the wedding day for any questions or concerns and that speaks volumes of how prepared Main & Market is to follow a plan and not have to reach out to the bride or groom. We cannot say enough good things about the servers. The team was phenomenal! They went above and beyond to help make our day run smoothly and feel extra special. The staff was incredibly friendly and made sure our guests were well taken care of with whatever they needed. -

Julia Sent on 01/07/2023PERFECTION! Wedding - 80ppl @ Chesapeake Bay Foundation
Main and Market made our 10/1/22 wedding day at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation perfect. For starters, Nanette is an absolute treasure. She went above and beyond with everything. She made sure every detail (food selection, food display, décor, service, etc.) was flawlessly executed. Not to mention she is so kind, and made the entire process easy and fun. If you do not have the pleasure to work with Nanette, still rest assure, the food will be amazing. We received compliments on how delicious the food was, even from our most particular guests. M&M also coordinated our rentals for the venue, through Rentals to Remember. We did not go over the top with décor. They had enough selection to capture what we needed at a reasonable price. -

Main and Market was our number one choice from the start. We were one of those couples who eloped during COVID and finally just had a reception celebration at a later date. Kim worked with us to perfect our menu and it was amazing. Our guests were so happy with everything She helped us create the look we were looking in regards to our tables, centerpieces and linens. When we arrived everything was perfect! Kim even went above and beyond to help us get a few last minute things done! Christina the bartender was amazing! Every staff member was a delight to work with! Hire them now...you won't be disappointed. -

We had our small reception at Federal House, which uses Main & Market as a caterer/coordinator. Working with April was a breeze and the food was outstanding!

Tanya Sent on 10/11/2020Super Professional
My husband and I worked with both Evie and Julie and they were both absolutely wonderful to work with. We loved how friendly and accommodating all of the Main & Market staff were. Before the big day, both ladies talked me through ideas, engaged with me, and really tried to make our perfect day happen. On the wedding day, everything was seamless. The staff was so friendly and genuine, therefore we had one less thing to stress about. Thank you Main & Market!Main & Market's reply:
Thank you, Tanya! It was a beautiful reception and the gardens were stunning even with raindrops. You were a pleasure to work with and our best to you and Brian! Evie -

Scott Sent on 10/04/2020Mother of the bride planning a wedding during covid
After Covid-19 led to canceling the venue and in-house caterer for my daughter’s wedding, we switched to an intimate, family-only wedding in my backyard. We immediately turned to Main & Market; they’ve catered a couple of parties for us, and we’ve always loved their food. Our wedding guests did too. From the hors d'oeuvres to the entrées and the gorgeous cake, we all thought the food was absolutely delicious. And Jennifer and Judy, who staffed our event, did a superb job. Jennifer smoothly and unobtrusively served the courses and kept our glasses filled and even offered helpful ideas during setup. Judy, who cooked on site, thoughtfully packed up two additional meals for the bride and groom to take home and slices of cake for each of the guests. After they left, the kitchen was so clean that we couldn't even tell they had been there.
A big thank you to Evie, who made it all come together, and to Jennifer and Judy for making the evening extra special.Main & Market's reply:
Thank you for taking the time to share, it means so much to us!
You all were a pleasure to work with, congratulations, Evie -

Lisa Sent on 11/06/2019Fall In Love with Main & Market
From the moment we met Diane, my daughter and I knew she was the right person to hire for her big day. Diane executed our vision from start to finish. The food was amazing! Our guests loved the special twist Main & Market did for our brunch reception. Our theme was “ Fall in Love”, and the pumpkin pancakes were a hit! Our guests also enjoyed the hot caramel apple cider. The set up and clean up was worry free for us. Diane abs her team took care of it all! Main & Market is well worth the price. They took care of the cake, linens, and china, tables, and chair rentals. You can’t beat going with this all inclusive wedding vendor. -

Veronica Sent on 10/25/2019Incredible!!!!
I do not even know where to start! From the initial inquiry to my wedding day Nanette was my go to girl who took care of everything. Our initial consultation was on time, she answered all of my questions and then we decided to schedule a tasting. She answered every one of my emails in a timely fashion and became my rock through the whole process. The tasting was amazing, and their food was absolutely incredible. I booked them over a year away from the wedding and when it came time to have our linen appointment, she was there walking us through every single step and was personally there! I could not have been more blessed with how her and the company took care of every detail the day of the wedding. All of my guests raved about the food and presentation of the workers from the caterers. Each one of them went above and beyond to give my guests a night they will never forget. I can not thank them enough for making my wedding seamless, on time and best of all without flaw. I would not only recommend them to cater weddings, but any event that you may want to have. Thank you to Nanette and her team for making it the best day of my life. -

Jessie Sent on 10/13/2019Highly recommend!
I'm so glad we chose Main & Market!
I've had several people from the wedding say it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. We didn't want to do typically chicken or fish and potatoes, we wanted pasta and chicken parmesan. Julie was our contact and she was flexible and responsive to our ideas, and she was always looking for ways to be more efficient and cost effective (save us money!!)
We had a tent wedding so we had to build the event from the ground up and she helped make it all happen.
And... I found out 3 weeks after the wedding, there was an issue with cooking at the venue so they drove back across the bay bridge to their kitchen in Annapolis and I had no idea! That's the kind of service they deliver.
Lastly - it was all the excellent quality and service and it was a great price. Like, wayy less expensive than most of the places I had looked. -

Katie Sent on 09/29/2019Highly recommend for any event.
We would definitely recommend Main and Market as we had a wonderful experience working with them.
Debra was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning of our cocktail hour and reception. She was well organized, knowledgeable, and personable. She made us feel comfortable and at ease as we narrowed down our choices for the menu. There was no rush during our tasting and Debra was open to our ideas for modifications of certain items.
Debra was very responsive in the months, weeks, and days leading up to our wedding. She did a great job when we did our on-site walkthrough of the property (and she brought desserts!), considering logistics we hadn’t thought of that would have made the day of the wedding more stressful if it wasn’t brought up.
The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding throughout the wedding. We received many compliments about the appetizers, buffet, and bourbon ice cream. The biggest hit may have been the warm buttermilk biscuits with honey butter (so good!). The catering staff were professional, friendly, and attentive to guest requests. Debra was also on-site to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Main and Market contributed in a big way to making sure our wedding night exceeded our expectations. -

Ar Gahan Sent on 08/29/2019Fabulous Caterer
Main and Market catered our daughter's wedding on our waterfront farm on the Maryland Eastern Shore this past weekend. Debra and her staff are seasoned professionals and effortlessly took care of every detail. First, they helped make our farm look like a dreamy wedding venue -- the tables were beautifully staged, and they even set up the chairs in a semicircle pattern for the waterfront ceremony. Second, the service was impeccable, including cocktails and butler served appetizers in the barn, sit-down dinner service in the tent, and four fully-stocked bars in two separate venues on the farm. Debra went out of her way to make sure that all our needs were fully met throughout the evening. Finally, EVERYONE RAVED about the food -- from the scallops, shrimp and honey chicken appetizers to the tenderloin and crab cake dinner to the mini cupcakes. The bottom line is do not hesitate to hire Main and Market -- you will not regret it, the are A++++. I am attaching pictures of the venues that Main and Market set up. Have no pictures of the food yet. -

The women who worked our wedding were so wonderful! They created beautiful displays for the buffet and dessert table and even used decor we forgot we had to make everything look gorgeous! If any questions arose they asked my Maid of Honor very discreetly and ran everything perfectly. The food was amazing and the cupcakes were a complete hit! -

Kara Sent on 06/23/2019Outstanding wedding caterer! Nanette with main & market!
From the very beginning I absolutely loved Nanette. I tried calling many different caterers for my wedding, but none of them compared to her friendliness and professionalism. She immediately was engaged and wanted to work with me on getting it within our budget. She was personable, kind, and easy to work with from the very beginning.
During the tasting, she was knowledgable and extremely hospitable. She listened to all our ideas and concerns. She was extremely helpful and offered us many different food options. I felt as if our caterer was also our friendly host and greatly enjoyed our time at Main and Market. The atmosphere was clean, warm, and inviting. Nanette had many great ideas both to save money and what to expect the day of. We had two more tastings before the wedding. One for my husband, who came from Minnesota and the other to clarify what we wanted to add. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely! We went home with full bellies, even though it was just supposed to be samples.
The day of the wedding, the staff couldn’t have been better! They were all extremely hospitable, hard working, well dressed, and well mannered. My husband asked for ginger ale at least two times at the sweetheart table and it was there in a snap. We still get compliments on how good the food was. We also added an ice cream bar and mini pecan pies a month before the wedding, and they had it there with no problem! My husband, mother, father and I highly recommend this caterer and Main & Market to anyone! They did such a fantastic job and hope to use them again in the future! Meanwhile, we are thoroughly enjoying their restaurant and all there delicious food and hospitality there.

Thank you for sharing!
We appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Where do I begin!? Thank you Nanette!!! We had a Main & Market weekend! Seriously, M&M catered our rehearsal dinner, wedding, wedding afterparty, and send-off brunch. We could not have been happier! Everyone LOVED everything, and we were never once worried about any of it. Nanette is a PRO! The team is kind, generous, and professional! Our guests were blown away and continue to talk about the food and cake :) Thank you so much M&M we are- and continue to be- in awe! -
