Main Course At Alumnae House

I ordered lunch for all the folks staying on-site at the venue on my wedding day (about 35 people). We ordered sandwiches and vegetables with the best aioli ever! Delivery was on-time and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Main Course catered our wedding at Lambs Hill in Beacon. The food was fantastic, and everything was customized to what we wanted. We wanted a vegetarian wedding that didn't have boring food and they did deliver! Everything was delicious, inventive and the service was fantastic. The bar manager was able to incorporate some of our favorite craft cocktails and highlight some local NY spirits as well.

They even made us a vegan funfetti cake that was incredible. (you truly could not taste the difference) Without their attention to detail (especially at Lamb's Hill) our wedding wouldn't have been the same. They really kept everything running smoothly and we were super happy to work with them. Well worth the price as they go above and beyond to make your event super special. Thank you Emily & Hogan!

I ordered food from Main Course Catering for my son's first birthday. The theme of the party was 100 acre wood, and I wanted all the food to fit that theme. Main Course Catering was very accommodating to my unusual menu. I asked for pigs in a blanket (piglet's in a blanket), veggies/ fruit and dip (Rabbit's Garden), honey banana and sunflower butter sandwiches (Pooh's Hunny Sandwiches), gluten-free and dairy-free acorn squash soup (100 Acorn Squash Soup).

There where people at the party who were gluten free, vegetarian, and had peanut allergies but main course catering was able to accommodate all those food restrictions so that everyone could have something delicious to eat. Even with the food restrictions, the food was absolutely amazing. For those without food allergies and restrictions, they said they couldn't believe how amazing the food was.

The hummus and the basil dip they made were out of this world good. The local veggies were crisp and delicious. The cost was expensive, but I do believe well worth it. They were professional, responsive, and overall I had a wonderful experience.

I will NEVER! EVER! prepare a Thanksgiving meal again. I ordered everything from Main Course, picked it up (logistically well run) and drove home. I was grateful for the reheating instructions. The pick up was swift and the food was BEYOND outstanding. Thank you to the team!

Five stars all around. We worked with Amanda at Main Course and she was such a delight to work with. She went above and beyond her work, making sure our wedding was perfect down to the last detail. Amanda, you are an angel! If you are thinking about choosing Main Course for your catering or event needs, trust me, you can't go wrong with this amazing team.

MC catering did the catering for my wedding this past September and I'm sorry to say I had an overall negative experience. I would have been happy to let them know more directly but they were the only vendor that did not reach out afterwards to follow up on my experience. There were a couple of things that really fell short: 1. 2 days before my wedding they notified me that they couldn't get the bread I wanted.

At the consultation months ago I expressed an interest in getting Russian or Norwegian bread - it is far richer and tastier than bread traditionally served at weddings and they said it wouldn't be a problem at all. As a result, I had to buy several loaves of my own bread. Which I did and gave to them. On the day of the wedding they sliced maybe a third for the tables?

Let's say half and give them the benefit of the doubt, and then I never saw the rest of it. Strange. 2. They said the champagne I wanted -Moet - was too expensive - I bought 10 bottles (mind you I had a 40 person wedding) for them for the champagne toast. They still charged me 4.50 per person for a champagne toast - even though I bought the champagne for them.

I also brought about a dozen bottles of cognac. I'm sorry, but there's no way we drank it all (and if we did maybe just email me and say - hey just FYI, nothing was left over). Nope - just took the rest with them when they left the site. 3. My guests left hungry - this is the worst part - I paid somewhere around 260-270 per guest, my guests should have been well fed.

There were barely any appetizers to go around (my mother and I didn't eat so more would go to our guests). The main course (the lamb) was cold! My last straw is when I found out that some of my vendors didn't eat because the meat looked "suspicious". That's great feedback to hear from you wedding. Isn't it? To top it all off they didn't leave any cake behind - I know traditionally some people save it and they didn't even ask.

Really I would just have liked some cake in the morning, or some of the pastries that were left over (and so so many were left over) they took it all back. 2 things they did well: the cake and the soup were amazing. Would I hire them for this considering what I paid if I could go back? Nope.

Cannot say enough good things about Main Course! We worked with Bruce, Amanda, Emily, and Hogan to create custom menus for our entire wedding weekend, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. The food and drinks are, without doubt, the best wedding f&b we've ever had at an event. The staff is friendly, polite and attentive. Amanda is incredibly knowledgeable about event planning, and Bruce is able to field even the craziest demands and dietary restrictions. Main Course is adaptable, accommodating and masters of their craft. 10/10 would recommend!

I have to start by saying that being able to book with Main Course felt like a blessing. I immediately was impressed by their professionalism, their menu options, and the clear, detailed information they put forward so I knew exactly what to expect. They came highly recommended by my venue and I knew immediately I did not want another cater. We worked with Amanda a lot and she was amazing, organized, patient, and on top of all details.

Given the short amount of time for planning (five months), everything seemed effortless. We met with everyone for our tasting and I was blown away. Hogan, our bartender, crafted cocktails exactly to our liking that also somehow reflected our personalities, making them legit bride and groom cocktails. Bruce, the chef, was incredibly knowledgeable and down to earth, and we were able to discuss which meal options would work best.

Everything was insanely delicious, the presentation was gorgeous, and it was the first time I got really excited about our big day. On the day of, Emily was our coordinator. When i tell you that she made everything seamless, I mean everything was perfect, well handled, no stress for the bride at all. She was so pleasant to work with, has such a calming personality, and even when we ran into an unforeseen hiccup caused by a family member, she handled everything and it was like it never happened.

We had the most perfect day and I know most of that was a result of working with Main Course. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with them, I highly recommend it. I recommend them to everyone I know and I will be forever grateful for how amazing they made our wedding day.

Main Course was truly fantastic to work with, both as our caterer and especially with Amanda leading the team as our wedding planner. We cannot thank them enough. Planning: Amanda left no detail unturned during the entire planning process. She was very organized throughout the process. She was incredibly professional and organized, while also really getting to know us and my family throughout the planning process.

We planned our wedding with continuously changing COVID policies, and she was not only very on top of the rules as they evolved for the state and our venue, but she was very communicative and very patient as I would text her every time I heard wind of a policy change! :) Leading up to the wedding, she did an amazing job coordinating all our vendors and worked closely with us to ensure that her very organized wedding weekend plan was in line with our vision.

She was very communicative and helpful and available to brainstorm and assist with last minute details as they came up in the weeks leading up to the wedding. The wedding weekend itself (which included events Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), went incredibly smoothly thanks to Main Course Catering. The whole team was really fantastic, available and helpful.

Everything ran very smoothly, and we had multiple guests come up to us to tell us specifically that the wedding organization and flow was excellent. Furthermore, we had a significant number of guests tell us it was one of their favorite weddings they had ever been to. Amanda is a superwoman! Thank you thank you thank you to Amanda and the team for helping us to create a weekend of celebration with our family and friends that captured our essence as a couple. Catering: The food and drinks were both excellent and had very pretty presentation.

The team was very helpful in creating our menu for the multiple events of our wedding weekend - they were able to match the vibe of our welcome event and lunch with the foods they recommended. The food at the reception was very delicious and fresh, and we loved that the menus we designed using their graphic designer had a map on the back displaying the local farms in the Hudson Valley that the foods used had come from.

Throughout the entire weekend, we had guests tell us that the food was truly exceptional. Hogan's cocktails were very delicious and also matched up with the vibes of the various events. We very highly recommend their food and cannot wait to go to the restaurant to eat in the future!

This is the third wedding my Husband's family has hired Main Course Catering for, and there are so many reasons why we didn't even think about talking to other caterers. Their food is delicious, AND beautiful. I am very particular about food, and they knocked it out of the park. I got so many compliments throughout the weekend about how delicious everything was, and how nice all of the small touches, like fresh flowers, were.

Their whole team is exceptional at what they do. They helped us to create bespoke menus for each part of the wedding weekend, listened to what we wanted, and gave super helpful suggestions. I had multiple guests come up to me and say that this or that was the best they ever had. Our bar was second to none, thanks to Hogan who helped us create a cocktail menu that everyone loved, and who suggested we get a frozen slushy machine for frose and pina coladas. I've had a lot of frose, and I don't know if I can order it in a restaurant any longer.

If it doesn't have fresh flowers and taste as good as the one Main Course made, I no longer want it. Their staff is so attentive and wonderful, and there is Amanda. She does their day-of coordinating and planning, and she is super human. We could not have pulled off the wedding we wanted without her. If you are considering hiring a planner, don't bother speaking to anyone else - Amanda is seriously the best in the business.

She is so responsive, and organized it amazes me. She coordinated with all of our vendors, and ran the entire wedding weekend. Not only did she ensure every person was where they were supposed to be, she somehow found time to consistently check with myself and the groom to see if we needed anything.

I'd leave 6 stars if I could! I can't imagine what our wedding experience would've been without everything the Main Course team brought to the equation. The food was original and abundant (and the menu of options diverse and delicious enough to have made the selection process very difficult!). The beer, wine and spirits offerings were high quality and very customizable.

Everything the guests saw and ate and drank was exactly as we'd envisioned it, but the most critical service to us was all that happened in the background and in the months leading up to our (small) big day. We didn't go into our wedding planning process thinking we'd hire a planner, but we were pleased to learn that Main Course offers this service and are so, so glad we took them up on it! Amanda was an absolute rock star and a steady, responsive and experienced guide through all of the challenges that planning a wedding in 2020 threw our way. Bride, groom and MOTB all fancy ourselves organized people but Amanda's shepherding through the process kept us as sane, relaxed and confident as we could've hoped for.

Main Course was everything we needed in our caterer -- and more -- and we can't recommend them highly enough. Go check out the restaurant to see the quality of the operation first hand!

My fiance and I had an amazing wedding tasting here yesterday! Main Course had everything set up beautifully and were so helpful. Not to mention -- the food is sooo good. I am still thinking about the pasta! The place was also packed with people which really shows how good the food is. Love that they have sangria to go. Tons of options and am so happy to be working with them for our wedding

Main Course catered my daughter's wedding shower on August 16th at a local winery. Everything from the very first phone call to the very end of the event was exceptional! The food was outstanding and all our guests were raving about it. Amanda is extremely professional and patient. Emily and the rest of the staff working the party were so attentive and efficient. I highly recommend this establishment, and I would certainly choose them again in a heartbeat. Thanks to you for a job so well done! Denise Swaney

Had some great options for vegetarians. Currently, it is take-out/delivery only, but I ordered a veggie burger for take out and it was a perfectly made, flavorful veggie burger. Most other places veggie burgers fall apart, but this one was made properly. Can't wait to come back when it's open for dine in again!

10/10 always exceeds expectations. Fresh and light meals that taste delicious. I love ordering chopped salads here as I know that I'm getting the freshest ingredients. This salad was a chopped w blackened chicken, beets, candied walnuts, feta, balsamic, and apples with other veggies. A little more expensive than my typical post college budget allows but worth it.

Maincourse Catering catered an event for a family party (50+ people) at the Kettleboro Inn in New Paltz, NY (fantastic Inn - would highly recommend, as well). The food was absolutely delicious, their servers professional and personable and the menu so varied and interesting! Overall fantastic experience - would strongly recommend them for your next event!
