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. The North Massapequa company lists six service styles: traditional plated, dual plated, buffet, stations, family-style and late-night snacks. Pricing is not on its site. WeddingWire shows $160 per person as a starting figure, and that is the only number we have.
platinumparty.comPlatinum Party offers day-of and month-of coordination in house. It also coordinates outside vendors for rentals, decor and centerpieces. For an off-premise wedding at a home, farm, vineyard or mansion, which is the company's stated specialty, that matters, because someone has to sequence the tent crew and the rental drop against the kitchen. Ask if coordination is priced as a flat fee or a percentage, and if the same person runs the kitchen and the timeline.
The service styles listed are traditional plated, dual plated, buffet, stations, family-style and late-night snacks. Dual plated puts two entrees on one plate, so guests do not choose in advance. Late-night snacks are listed as their own style, which usually means the food that arrives after the cake. The site does not attach prices to any of the six, so a quote depends on the style and the guest count as much as the date.
The $160 starting price comes from WeddingWire and is not confirmed anywhere on platinumparty.com. Treat it as a marketplace figure. The company also runs a Massapequa storefront selling takeout catering trays, which gives you a way to taste the cooking before a formal tasting. Engagement parties are a named specialty, and the service map covers Long Island, the Hamptons, Brooklyn and New York City.
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.
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.
