To those lucky enough to have found Main Course,
My husband and I married on July 10, 2010 in Ojai, California. Rachel Main and Main Course handled all the catering for the reception. When I met with Rachel and her team for a tasting I knew they had a tall order. I had asked for a Southern menu (hailing from Texas and Mississippi that was a must), but one that was elegant enough for a wedding without being stuffy. I also couldn't have pork in the menu (a Southern staple!) and they had to accommodate vegetarians, vegans, and siliacs. The food was fantastic! Every bite reminded me of home. They had managed to make fried green tomatoes, BBQ, and stewed southern greens refined and exciting. Friends and family are STILL complementing me on the food and service at our wedding. I could not have asked for more, and I wouldn't have changed a thing were we to do it all again.
I must say, as superior and thoughtful as the food was - that was not what impressed me most about this company. What I loved - what I was blown away by - was their customer service. When I wanted to try a beef brisket just to make sure I still wanted the short ribs - no problem. When I wanted not 1, not 2, but 3 different but equally wonderful signature southern cocktails - no problem. When we decided we wanted my mother to make the wedding cake to add to homemade feel - no problem. They even let my mother use their kitchen! Rachel came to my florist meeting just so she could get a feel for the style of the wedding. She instantly got my vision of "grandmother's backyard party". So much so that I entrusted her to pick out and rent all of the serving platters for the wedding, and since it was a family style service that was about 200 platters. They were spectacular and I couldn't have done better myself. Every single person at that company goes above and beyond.
On the day of the wedding never did I see "the chaos" of the behind the scenes of a party. Everyone was professional, calm and efficient. All of the servers had a smile on their face and I didn't see a glass that needed a refill all night. They took such good care of my guests from the welcome drinks before the ceremony all the way to smores by the fire at the end of the evening. Rachel and her staff made my day bigger, better, and easier. You won't be disappointed.
Sincerely,
Hillary Croll
