"From the minute we arrived at River Farm it was obvious that everything you did was a work of genius.  The tables were set perfectly, the dessert room was set up as promised, the cocktail hour ran smoothly, the servers were fantastic, and most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious! "
~ Adrienne Umansky

"We can’t begin to put into words how pleased we are at the job you and your crew did for Maggie’s and Matt’s wedding last Saturday.  The rave reviews just keep on comin’.  Thank you so much for your professional expertise in making their day so elegant and memorable.  Some people have actually said they’ve never been to a more beautiful wedding, and that’s due in great part to you, your staff and Main Event."

~Jane and Tom Fagan

"It was a fantastic evening (at the Torpedo Factory)! Everyone commented on how wonderful and attentive your staff was.  The food was amazing and a huge hit! I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work. We are definitely devoted Main Event fans and hope to work with you for other life events in the future."

"Thank you so much! We had so many compliments about the food, you were wonderful to work with, and the whole staff was amazing. What a great night it was, sentimentally AND gastronomically. Martin's best man commented; " I wanted to mention how impressed I was by all the details. The logistics were amazing, no glitches, everything close by, the food was delicious (rarely true). . .".  Thank you so much for all your help and for making our wedding as fun and delicious as it was."

~Saskia

"Before the glow of the Gala has worn off I wanted to send you a big THANK YOU to you and everyone at Main Event from all of us at the Partnership. The rooms looked great, staff was wonderful, and of course, the food was amazing!  Thanks for all of your patience and hard work over the past few months. The weather even cooperated with us for a bit and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. "

"Thank you for all you did to make Sid's party at our home so wonderful.  You have such a great style and grace.  It was a pleasure to work with you and your "team" at the party.  I got  totally spoiled! "

~Laurie S.

"The event last night was lovely and our group had a great time! Thanks for everything. Our director was especially impressed with your (compostable) plates and forks…He’s now interested in keeping a stock on hand for last minute donor lunches, etc. Thanks again for all your help and we look forward to working with Main Event again in the future!"

~Elizabeth Damore,Special Events Manager, Freer Gallery of Art + Arthur M. Sackler Gallery

"Thank you for the amazing job you and your team did last night for our "Presidential Courage" dinner at our Corcoran branch.  Everything about the evening was perfect, from the linens, to the menu cards, to the delicious and beautifully presented food, to the impeccable service.  I have heard nothing but compliments all day from our president and others who attended.  They were especially impressed with the white-glove service. Thanks to the attention to detail by you and your team."

~Sonia B. McCormick, VP, Corporate Communications Manager, PNC Bank

"As I said to the staff on site at the end of the evening - Main Events is a huge part of the year after year success of our holiday party, and we really appreciate all that you do.  The staff was very accommodating.  They shared our extra meals with the band, sent me home with some leftover appetizers, were able to put together a table last minute to set-up our projectors, adjusted the number of chairs at each table according to our last minute cancellations, etc. Also, I'd like to send a big thank you for helping us pick the perfect site."

~Jennifer Korbich, Excella Consulting

"Environmentally-friendly and delicious! I would like to share with you my experience with Main Event Caterers. I hired them for a large business event and was thrilled with the experience. The food and service were amazing. More importantly, though, as an environmentally conscious person, I was so happy to learn that Main Event Caterers is eco-friendly. They are 100% wind powered, carbon neutral and recycle all of their waste, even using alternative disposables for their organic waste. They're also very passionate about educating everyone about how to become more environmentally responsible, clients included! I strongly recommend Main Event Caterers. They're located in Arlington, VA and serve the metropolitan area."
~ Monica in Falls Church, VA

"From top to bottom Main Event has it all. They take care of their clients, have amazingly creative Event Designers, a great staff that make the vision a reality, and of course, the food to die for. Main Event is a cut above the rest!"
~ Lee-Ann Forsythe

"Everything they do is of the highest quality, from the presentation to the wait staff. Most important, however, their food is outstanding and innovative. I would walk a mile on my knees for whatever Joel Thevos and Nancy Goodman serve."
~ Dr. George Davis

"The food selection is out of this world, they are all about service, customer needs and requirements and deliver what they promise. Great staff, friendly, accommodating, they really know how to put on an event, making your job easy, stress free. The ultimate professionals."
~ Carol Moore

"Simply saying thank you doesn't really capture how significant it is to me to have had everything work out so well, but I am at a loss for a better expression... so, until I can come up with a better articulation, THANK YOU to you, the chef, and everyone at Main Event that helped us pull off a wonderful evening!"
~ Laura Brown

"We wanted to say thank you to you and everyone on your staff for the best reception we could imagine. The food was excellent, the service was impeccable, and your overseeing it all was absolutely perfect! Truly, we can't say enough to thank you for everything you did!"
~ Judy McGinley

"I work for The Washington Post company and consulted our Event Planning person after being frustrated by some of the other "top tier" catering companies. Either the menus were so-so or the pricing was extremely high. Our Events Manager told me that after working with everyone in town, her personal opinion was that Main Events was the best. We attended a tasting at Main Event after visiting four or five other caterers. The food at Main Event was by far the best, it blew me away and, more importantly, blew my fiancé (the food connoisseur) away."
~ Sherrese M. Smith-Heyliger, Deputy General Counsel, Washingtonpost Newsweek Interactive, LLC

"Your company recently catered a reception for my Association and it was terrific. The food received rave reviews and the staff was phenomenal. I would say they went out of their way for me, but I suspect they treat all their customers with the same level of professionalism and helpfulness. Their attentiveness made the evening run smoothly and left time for me to attend to other things."
~ Renee LaMura, Director of Member Services, PIMA

"I have worked with Main Event Caterers for several years. Their quality of service is extremely professional and very detail oriented. They are able to cater to a vast array of clientele not only with their cuisine but also with their full-service staff. Their staff is extremely creative and organized. They always have innovative ideas and are able to provide the utmost experience for the client, I sincerely recommend Main Event to any organization or company searching for first rate quality and service."
~ Marjory Zimmerman, Manager of Special Events, The Corcoran Museum of Art

"The food, décor, furniture, sketch artists, historical factoids, handsome servers, shiny silver - all were just right. Our guest were unanimous in their praise for the occasion."
~ Dr. Donn Murphy, Executive Director, National Theatre
