We had an incredible experience with Main and Market from the start. We started with a 120-person wedding and squished it down to 74. Kim was the most patient, kind, and helpful vendor and was such a savior during so many parts of the planning process.
I did all of the initial wedding planning until I caved and got a day-of planner 3 months before our wedding date (who was also recommended by Kim and a DREAM to work with). Kim walked me through overall catering needs, logistics of everything from recommended number of food options for cocktail hour, reception, and after-party down to how to arrange the bar and pros/cons of bringing in more vendors for outside food or not. She never made us feel like she had any other intentions but to just genuinely give us the honest truth about what we were getting ourselves into with each decision. And thank goodness, because doing this all on my own for the first 9 months was A LOT and there was so much I would have never even thought of.
She was so responsive and patient with my numerous menu changes and indecisiveness on menu, flatware, and linens. She made sure we had awareness of all guest allergies and food restrictions so our menu was safe for everyone and WOW were we blown away by the options. Food tasting there was SO fun and one of the highlights of my and my husband's experience during the planning process. Beyond the food being absolutely delicious, they were so generous with letting us sample options we were deciding between and let us have creative direction where needed. Our favorites were bringing a breakfast dessert to our reception dessert and making them personal-sized for a buffet-style dessert. We had so much fun picking flavor options and truly making this our own, from everything down to the design on our cake.
We've been to plenty of weddings where the food dries out or isnt cooked enough or just wasnt as good as it seemed to be when the couple did their tasting, but O M G!!!!! The food was amazing. Presentation was beautiful for every meal and their staff was so fun. We don't love when staff pretend they're invisible at weddings because we want everyone to have a good time and feel like they're part of the fun and they were all SO sweet, complimenting us, saying how fun the night was and just being such a positive energy in the room. It was so fun to pass them and see them all genuinely smiling and seeming excited. We were so grateful for the experience from start to finish.
We will 700% recommend this team to anyone looking, weddings or not, and use them for any future events we need catering for. Thank you, Kim and your whole team for all you did. We are...
Read moreAfter many many years of eating at Main and Market I had an appalling experience on Wednesday 8/27/2025. I arrived at 11:55 am to wait for my lunch companion at 12:00 PM. I was seated by the usual wonderful hostess that I have seen for many years. The server was a young man, had never met him before, he too was great. Brought water, got my soft drink. At 12:05 my companion arrived. We took a few minuets to order, often we get the special because we eat there 3-5 times a month, so we got the special flank steak. People started to flow in, an 8 top across for us, a four top next to them, and 2 top in front of us and so on. We were seated at the last table on the east side booth. After some 20 + minuets people started getting their food, we had ordered long before them. I asked the server what the delay was, he said"your food will be right out. I noticed a women wandering from table to table, she never spoke with us. I had to leave by 1 pm for a medical appointment in Glen Burnie at 1:00 pm. At 12:55 I'd had enough and went up front to ask for the manager, all of the rest of the staff knew me, a lady came out ,didn't speak, I asked if she was the manager and she responded curtly, YES! I asked why she wasn't helping the obviously overworked staff???? At this point she states "you don't tell me what to say!" I said obviously neither does anyone else, at this point she yells, GET OUT, JUST GET OUT, three times. I replied "I am not going anywhere. So she runs in the back saying she was calling the police. Then Evie Turner, Vice President, came out, I explained my self, she seemed shocked. I told her of our business relationship with the firm. I then went back to the table to leave money for my...
Read moreFrom the very beginning I absolutely loved Nanette. I tried calling many different caterers for my wedding, but none of them compared to her friendliness and professionalism. She immediately was engaged and wanted to work with me on getting it within our budget. She was personable, kind, and easy to work with from the very beginning. During the tasting, she was knowledgable and extremely hospitable. She listened to all our ideas and concerns. She was extremely helpful and offered us many different food options. I felt as if our caterer was also our friendly host and greatly enjoyed our time at Main and Market. The atmosphere was clean, warm, and inviting. Nanette had many great ideas both to save money and what to expect the day of. We had two more tastings before the wedding. One for my husband, who came from Minnesota and the other to clarify what we wanted to add. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely! We went home with full bellies, even though it was just supposed to be samples. The day of the wedding, the staff couldn’t have been better! They were all extremely hospitable, hard working, well dressed, and well mannered. My husband asked for ginger ale at least two times at the sweetheart table and it was there in a snap. We still get compliments on how good the food was. We also added an ice cream bar and mini pecan pies a month before the wedding, and they had it there with no problem! My husband, mother, father and I highly recommend this caterer and Main & Market to anyone! They did such a fantastic job and hope to use them again in the future! Meanwhile, we are thoroughly enjoying their restaurant and all there delicious food and...
