Photos worth a thousand words...

During the month of May, we've been blessed with the opportunity to partner with photographer Lesley Bryce on a few of our events. Not only is she great to work with, but Lesley also has a knack for capturing the essence of a moment with her camera lens.

If you take a peek at the Flickr album from this wedding we catered on May 8th in Santa Paula, surely you'll be wowed by Lesley's pictures. There are color photos of the tablescapes, closeups that capture the freshness of the food, black and whites of the barn where the reception was held, and festive shots of the whimsical wedding cake.

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.
