What we've been up to lately...

Here at Main Course, we're gearing up for a busy wedding season. And one of the things we've been doing is seeking out wonderful event venues for our brides. We recently went to visit Linda Jordan of Linda Jordan Photography. She rents out her Ojai home and property for weddings. And, wow, is it a jaw-dropping location! Brides can get married under a beautiful old Sycamore tree, in an open grassy field with the mountains in the background, or poolside if they choose.

The horse ring behind the pool area and the large open grassy area by the pool are ideal for your reception. And if there are kids coming to your wedding, there's even a horse, three basset hounds, and a few adorable goats that the little ones can ooh and ah over.

We've also been to Wiggy Ranch (Ojai), McCormick Ranch (Camarillo), and Meditation Mount (Ojai). If you're planning a wedding, we can give you info on any of these venues.

Moroccan Dinner Menu

When it comes to our catering, we can create a custom menu to fit any theme or budget - whether you want a buffet of light bites, or a high class sit down dinner. Thinking Thai or tri-tip, fried chicken or Sushi? We're your caterer. And while we sure do love our local and organic produce, we do step out of the box and get a little wild and crazy sometimes. Take, for example, this Moroccan themed dinner we did for a client in Montecito in February:
