Main Event Caterers

Wow! I don't even know where to begin. I always have low expectations for wedding food but Main Event blew me away! Our event designer and main contact for our wedding reception, Spencer, was fantastic to work with. He was always energetic and genuinely excited about making our event the best it could be. He was attentive and easy to work with. The food was out of this world! Many, many quests commented at the wedding that the food was fantastic and five days later, they are still talking about it! The service was fantastic and the wait staff seemed like they truly cared about making our event special. We could not have asked for a better caterer!

The Main Event staff was fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. Spencer and Meg went above and beyond to accommodate our every need right up until the wedding itself. They did a great job making our simple looking hall into a beautiful venue and their waitstaff was friendly and thorough. We did a buffet, which was a great value for all the different options we were able to offer out guests. I would highly recommend Main Events!

Spencer of Main Event Caterers was amazing! He was easy to work with and very responsive to our emails/phone calls. The food was phenomenal and we received so many compliments on how tasty the foods were, especially the appetizers. We didn't have a day of coordinator, but Spencer was awesome in helping us out and took care of everything at the reception. Would highly recommend Main Event Caterers to anyone!!! They even ended the night with chocolate truffles for everyone! Such a nice touch :)

We worked with Andrea from Main Event Caterers and could not have been more pleased! To this day, months after our wedding, our friends and families continue to rave about the food at our wedding. Andrea and her team listened to our ideas for the wedding and brought us great suggestions to design a wonderful meal. They were open to anything and even worked with us to pair each course with craft beer - from selecting the details of each course to ensuring we had the right service plan to execute on our vision - Andrea led a great team which led to a simply delicious and one of a kind meal. Even when our wedding day turned out to be cold and rainy, the team gave us our option B with no hiccups and delivered each course hot and steamy - quite an accomplishment with the storm that they had to walk through to the tented reception. Andrea was well organized, always available, supportive and very detail-oriented. We would highly recommend Andrea and the entire Main Event Caterers team!

We worked with Daniela from Main Event. She was wonderful to work with, and she really worked with us on pricing so that we were able to get what we wanted. The food was spectacular, best wedding food I've ever had! They also were able to tweak a few menu items and when I requested Italian Wedding Soup, were able to create that as well. The vegetarian option was also great! Would 100% recommend Main Event!

Alll I can say is AMAZING! We looked at other caterers and knew as soon as we sat down with Andrea that she would make out wedding exactly what we wanted. She was friendly, outgoing and awlays and email or phone call away! They provide outstanding, really outstanding food, not always the case at a wedding! I have to also mention Korey (our wedding day supervisor), every bride should request him! He talked to my husband and I the entire time, not in the way of course, just to make sure things were going the way we wanted! He was attentive and really a true professional! If you live in the NOVA area you should check out Main Events! Thank you for making our wedding day a little more wonderful!

I want to thank everyone at Main Events for the wonderful job they did at my daughter's wedding. The entire event was outside so the set up was tricky, with numerous last minute changes. Korey, the wedding day supervisor, was superb - he was flexible and handled everything beautifully in a calm efficient and professional manner. Once he got started I knew I could relax and just enjoy the whole experience. Everything looked beautiful, the food was outstanding and the servers and bar tenders were attentive and very pleasant. Everyone had a wonderful time. The clean up was also immaculate. I would highly recommend Main Events.

If I could give them 6 stars, I would! Main Event is the best catering you could ask for--the food is top notch and creative without being offputting, our event designer, Spencer, was organized and responsive, and the service at our wedding was perfect. I never once had to worry about timing, presentation, or anything at all. The biggest hits, food-wise, were the mashed potatoes with brie and the mini pot pies--get them!

We just wanted to thank Spencer and the catering crew who were at our wedding for the super job they did!!! Thank you so much for making our experience painless and easy and most of all for making our special day so wonderful! We got lots of compliments on the food:)Natalie & David

Main Event Catering, led by Rachael, made my daughter’s wedding a truly memorable event. Before the event, Rachael was available to meet with us whenever we needed her to walk us through the catering selection process. The tasting at Main Event which was outstanding was a major factor along with Main Events reputation in deciding to use Main Event. On the day of the wedding, Rachael transformed the venue with its beautiful view from a basic room into a gorgeous setting. It was perfect for my daughter’s wedding. Everyone raved about the excellent food and it was so exceptional that two of my guests have contacted Main Event about catering their weddings. Rachael greeted the wedding couple at the venue with appetizers and prosecco, my daughter’s favorite, and sent them off at the end of the evening with a packed feast for afterward. Cleanup at the end of the evening went smoothly with all the decorations packed up and ready to go in a matter of minutes. It gives you a new appreciation for the industry after being responsible for the success of such an event.

Andrea Falletti of Main Event was our contact for our daughter's recent wedding. She was exceptional. She understood our vision, came up with wonderfully creative menus and ideas to see it through, and assembled the most professional and delightful staff we have ever seen. The food was truly exquisite and our wedding guests, all very seasoned wedding attendees, said they have never in all their lives eaten such delicious food at a wedding. For sentimental reasons, we also wanted to do something unusual for a wedding cake and Main Event's pastry chef truly outdid herself. All staff members were totally professional and received many compliments from our guests. This was not a small wedding and many of the guests attend a large number of catered functions. Thanks to the wonderful work and attention from Andrea Falletti, this was one of the finest events I think we'll ever see. I cannot recommend Andrea Falletti and Main Event any higher. This company and Andrea Falletti are heads above everyone else. I could tell from the moment I met Andrea and how she responded to every request that I would be able to fully enjoy my daughter's wedding and worry about nothing. She is as close to perfect as it's possible to be.

We worked with Taylor Locroft at Main Event Caterers and I seriously thank her for our wedding looking as spectacular as it did. From our first conversations when we were just trying to get a quote she was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. We were planning our DC wedding at the DAR from Houston and were only there to meet with her but she did an amazing job communicating with myself and my parents via email and phone to make sure that when we did meet we were able to cover everything that needed to be covered. She helped me pick my linens, chairs, reception layout and I can't even begin to tell you how many people told us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. The food and wait staff was magnificant. They served an entire table at the same time. Main Event also made my cake. I gave them a picture of what I sort of wanted it to look like and it turned out more beautiful than I ever could have imagined...it was perfect! From the moment we walked in to the reception everything was seamless. We did not hire a wedding planner and I am so glad we didn't waste the money on one because Taylor was all we needed. Thank you, Taylor, for making our reception more perfect than we could have every imagined!

Spencer, I want to thank you for helping make my daughter's wedding so wonderful. You all did an amazing job - everything was just as we envisioned...and in some cases, even better. The food was delicious and almost every guest commented on how beautifully it was presented. Your suggestions on floor plans and layouts were perfect. We also were impressed with and appreciated the professionalism of the wait staff. Everything flowed smoothly and seamlessly. In short, once at the reception, I never worried about a detail for even a second, because it was clear your team had everything under complete control. You were a delight to work with on the planning and I hope we'll have a chance to do another event in the future.I will recommend you without reservation to anyone!

Spencer and Main Event were excellent to work with. We wanted to incorporate ethnic dishes into our dinner plan, and Spencer was excellent at understanding our thoughts and implementing this touch into our wedding in an elegant way. Also, we had several individuals with allergies and special needs diets and Spencer was receptive and excellent in his attention to these details. Our guests commented on how well the wait staff were prepared for these special diets and how seamless the service was. Spencer was very organized and fun to work with. The food was delicious as well. We had several last minute cancellations because of bad weather and Spencer was able to prepare take home meals for us. People loved the food so much, the left-overs were consumed at the after-party! Thank you Spencer and Main Event!

OUTSTANDING. My daughter wedding was July 16, 2011. The service they provided I cannot find enough words to describe such AWESOME service. Exceeded every expectation. The staff was professional, friendly, kind, caring. Our guest are raving about the service and attention they received. The food was unbelievable. I plan to use them for another event. Rachael Slockett was great to work with. She was extremely flexible and ensured our needs were met to our satisfaction. Her team was the best. We actually landed this company at the last minute and it was the best last minute decision I ever made. I highly recommend this company.

Taylor Locraft with Main Event Caterers did an amazing job with my daughter's wedding in July. All of her ideas were so creative and exactly what we were looking for to make the wedding memorable. The food was delicious, the staff was so professional in serving our guests, and the cake was spectacular! Taylor saw it through from our beginning planning stages to every detail at the Sunset Room... We highly recommend Main Event and Taylor-- you will not be disappointed!

Spencer McCormack and his team did an amazing job for our daughter's wedding in July! Not only easy to work with, but also very calming (which is very important as you approach the 'big day'). The bride and groom were in CA; the wedding and reception were in Fairfax, VA; the guests came from all over the US. The food was delicious and plentiful and the presentation was perfect! The staff was incredibly attentive; the bride said she felt like she had her own personal caterer, making sure she was taken care of the entire evening. As the parents of the bride, we felt like we were guests at our own party! We could relax and enjoy the evening -they took care of everything! Without hesitation, I would recommend Main Events Catering!

Spencer and the entire staff at Main Event Caterers made planning for my July wedding a breeze! I was planning my Fairfax wedding from the West Coast, but Spencer was more than willing to communicate via telephone and email and meet face-to-face with my mom. In fact, my sister stood in for me at the tasting with my mom since I was unable to attend. Throughout the whole process Main Event was incredibly flexible regarding this situation.We had very few decorations at the reception hall, so the food presentation and table setup were the primary focus. I felt 100% comfortable giving Spencer creative control to make the space look simple, but elegant -- and his team pulled it off beautifully.Throughout the evening, I felt as if I had my own personal waiter who would help me get in and out of my seat (not an easy feat in a wedding gown when everyone is clinking their glasses to see the bride and groom kiss!) and periodically checking in to see if I needed more food or drink.The food was amazing and perfectly altered to meet my picky tastes. Once we had picked out the general type of food we wanted and one or two specific dishes, the chef was able to suggest side dishes that would pair well with our choices. We received (and are still receiving!) so many compliments on the food.Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend their services to any bride, especially one overwhelmed with putting together all the details of the reception herself!

Rachel Slockett and her team at Main Event Caterers provided first class service at our wedding caterer. Rachel was a dream to work with! Her professionalism and attention to detail were amazing and I was truly touched by the time and effort she took to personalize our wedding and make sure that it was a true reflection of us. Rachel did not even hesitate when presented with a short time frame for planning, a limited budget, and a nontraditional setting -- she simply worked with us to create the most perfect day! I was also amazed that the chefs at Main Event took the time to adjust the menu not only to our limited budget but also to specific food allergies. Regardless of these challenges, the food at our wedding was absolutely wonderful! For weeks after the wedding, our friends and guests were still raving about the food. The catering staff made sure everything ran smoothly and were wonderfully personable as well. They even made sure to pack up a to-go box for us (the bride and groom) after noticing that we hadn't eaten much during the event - so very thoughtful! Everything was perfect and the service was exceptional. I highly recommend Main Event Caterers for any special event!

I recently held my reception at the Corcoran Gallery of Art with 240 guests. This venue had many challenges and restrictions (not to mention alot of guests to attend to) but Michelle Fishman and her team at Main Event Caterers worked up their magic and made it happen. I had a modern Afghan wedding and they were able to incorporate all the details into their services. They provided such great service and attention to details. Our guests repeatedly mentioned how attentive the staff were to every detail. It was both a pleasure and peace of mind to work with such a great team. I never thought I would feel so calm on the day of my wedding and believe it or not everything went perfectly. Michelle was very informative and many times provided suggestions based on her experiences and worked with my requests to make it all come together so beautifully. The food was amazing and the presentation was absolutely perfect!!! I highly recommend Main Events for any couple that wishes to have a peace of mind and beautiful wedding. You will not be dissapointed!! It will be more than what you expected!
