Named wedding menus, among them a Country BBQ, a Summer Tented Wandering Wedding, an Autumn Vineyard Buffet and a Formal Plated dinner, are on Moriches Catering's weddings page. The company works from 947 Church Street in Bohemia and serves the East End of Long Island. It will also arrange valet and security. Prices are not published; we read the weddings page and found none.
morichescatering.com/weddingsInstead of plated versus buffet, Moriches organizes its wedding menus around where the wedding is. Country BBQ is the backyard option. Summer Tented Wandering is the tent option. Autumn Vineyard Buffet is the vineyard option. Formal Plated is the sit-down. That framing is useful because it tells you the company has done each of those settings enough to name a menu after it. There are separate menus for the rehearsal dinner and the after-wedding breakfast.
The weddings page says the company coordinates tenting, linens, china, tables and chairs, florals, cake, entertainment, valet and security. Valet and security are the two you rarely see a caterer offer, and they matter for a home wedding on a narrow East End road where parking is the first thing the neighbors complain about. None of these are priced on the page. Ask which are subcontracted and marked up and which are billed at cost.
The stated specialty is home, winery and beach weddings on the East End. The kitchen is in Bohemia at 947 Church Street, so a Montauk or Orient wedding is a drive, and the site does not say how travel is billed. No per-person price is published for any of the named menus. Get a quote for the specific menu, not a generic per-head figure.
A 20% administrative fee, charged on food, staff and beverage totals, is the first number you will find on Art of Eating's FAQ, and the company says plainly that it is not a gratuity.
Family-style dinner is $75 per person, plated is $90 and the chef's experience is $125, all posted on Hamptons Heirloom's homepage.
Ficarra prices its catering by the tray, not by the head.
Day-of and month-of coordination come from the same office as the food at Platinum Party, which is not the norm for a Long Island caterer.
Ryan Flatley and Samy Sabil both cooked at North Fork Table and Inn before starting Creative Courses, and they also run a sister business, The North Fork Shack.
A bagel cafe that opens at 6am seven days a week is the storefront behind Broadway Gourmet Caterers, and the wedding menu is a separate document from the deli board.
