I had my wedding back in June at Brecknock Hall with the catering done by Moriches. Everything was amazing! Lenny made sure that no detail was missed and that we were happy with all aspects of the event not only just the food. The food was so good-still being talked about by family and friends! The service was great and everyone loved the bartenders! Thank you to Lenny and his staff for making our wedding so wonderful :)

Moriches Catering was the first vendor we committed to for our wedding, and it was the best decision we made. Throughout the wedding planning process Anthony & Carmen were there to guide us. Helping with everything from choosing other vendors to the small details such as layout and lighting. They entertained every idea that we had and provided deeper insight into how those ideas would effect other aspects of the wedding. The day itself was amazing, every detail thought out and executed just as we had envisioned with Anthony & his team making it happen. He personally made sure my wife and I were always taken care of, even acting as a body guard when he knew we needed to eat. Oh, and the food was all time. Weeks later we're still having friends tell us how great it was. Choosing Moriches Catering was the best decision we made. THANK YOU ANTHONY & Team!!

I can honestly say I would not have been able to get through my entire wedding planning process without Anthony and Carmen! They are simply the best choice I made for our wedding. Having originally been scheduled to get married in 2020 and having to be rescheduled in 2021 seemed like the most daunting task - but they made this huge decision happen seamlessly. They truly go above and beyond to make all the days leading up to the big day easy and organized - they even offered some advice for my honeymoon planning!
Now for the food - I could not have dreamed of a more perfect and delicious spread for my wedding day - and I even got to enjoy it all because they made sure to make special plates for us so we didn’t miss a thing!
I could go on and on about how clutch Moriches Catering was in our wedding planning process but I’ll just leave it at - MUST BOOK!!!
Any questions?

It was one month before our wedding, and we had our previous caterer drop out last minute. Luckily there was an opening with Moriches Catering. We were nervous about going with someone last minute without a tasting but it payed off, big-time. Anthony was extremely helpful and professional throughout the process, even with our time crunch. He was flexible to meet our needs, having a number of dietary needs among our guests. Communication was a breeze from start to finish. Most importantly, the food itself was incredible. Months later our families are still raving about it. I can't recommend Moriches Catering highly enough, they were perfect for our wedding.

Hiring Moriches Catering for my wedding was the best choice I made while wedding planning. My friend had used them for her wedding and I was blown away by the food and the service. Anthony and Carmen made sure my day was absolutely perfect. I didn't have to worry about a single thing all day. They helped us every step of the way from selecting a menu, to picking out supplies, to arranging many of our other vendors. Anthony and Carmen went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of. They even made me a plate of my favorite meal (which wasn't on our menu). Our guests raved about the amazing food, especially the passed hors d'oeuvres and the marinated skirt steak. Anthony, Carmen, and their entire team are very professional, but also very sincere and down to earth. I would absolutely highly recommend them for anyone looking for a caterer.

Anthony and Carmen were great. We had a Summer/Back Yard wedding and they helped us immensely every step of the way which took the stress out of the planning. The wedding itself was awesome. Recommend!
12/21/2021 • Kate C
If I could give Anthony and Carmen 100 stars, I would! They catered my best friend's wedding several years ago and the food was phenomenal. As soon as I got engaged, I contacted Anthony and Carmen and asked them if my date was available. I explained to them that I was working with a very tight budget and that my now husband has a severe dairy allergy. They worked with us every step of the way and made sure that our dream became reality. They even made my husband and I a special dairy free cake! I got so many compliments on the food - people were even saying it was the best food they had at any wedding EVER! If you have the opportunity to work with Anthony and Carmen, take it!! You won't regret it. I hope to continue working with them for any event I may have in the future!

Our expectations were surpassed with flying colors. As a couple on a very tight budget and having no clue what we were doing, Anthony and Carmen helped us every step of the way in so many way is didn’t expect. They are incredible. The day I met them, I knew right away that our wedding day was in the right hands. Being on a tight budget, my fiancé and I decided to do a barbecue without hors d'oeuvres. Anthony had the brilliant idea take the burgers and hot dogs intended for part of the dinner and to create mini sliders and hot dogs to serve during the cocktail hour instead. It was absolutely perfect. We were able to have hors d'oeuvres without any extra expense while also leaving the dinner menu to feel more sophisticated. I cannot tell you how many people tell me they think about the burgers and steak they had at my wedding so often. I recommend Moriches Catering to everyone I can think of now.
12/21/2021 • James M
Anthony was AMAZING! He took all the worry out of our big day and made sure we were taken care of. His staff was super helpful and professional and the food was incredible. You will not go wrong with him!
12/21/2021 • Amanda H
Anthony and Carmine far exceeded our expectations! They catered my sons first birthday 2 years ago and people still talk about how amazing the food was! The day of my wedding Anthony ensured everything went perfectly not only when it came to catering but also with everything else! Moving forward I would only use Moriches catering for any event!

Anthony, Carmen and their entire team were ROCKSTARS. From our first phone call, we felt confident that their full package planning services were exactly what we were looking for. Anthony supported the planning of all elements of the wedding— run of show, vendor coordination, etc. His preferred vendors were super easy to work with and he coordinated all details of our needs, we just had to provide the payment. He listened to our countless questions and concerns, and was willing to work with us to meet our budget expectations. And for the actual day of the wedding everything was SO seamless. They set up the event space better than we could have ever imagined. Anthony coordinated the run of show perfectly, and was constantly bringing us water/food throughout the night. The servers were so attentive, and our guests raved about the bartenders. And the FOOD…SO good. Highly recommend!!

I don’t even know where to begin! Anthony and Carmen were amazing! Their entire staff was so awesome!! Everyone was raving about the food and service! The food ugh the food was amazing and presented so beautifully! The cake was just perfect. Truly so happy that I found them for our wedding. Anthony was soooo sooo patient with me and my million emails and was so helpful when staying in budget. Gave us tons of advice and really helped us make the best decisions! We originally did not want tents but he recommended we have some on hold just in case and thank goodness we did because the rain did show up! It ended up working out and looking even better with the tents and bistro lighting! If you’re looking for great food, service and everything else amazing hire them! You will definitely not regret it! I can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day so great!

SO happy we found Moriches Catering! From the first interaction with Anthony, I felt we were in good hands. He helped us with event coordination as well as for catering, and throughout the process, he helped keep this bride calm! Every single guest commented on how great the food was! Anthony, Carmen and the rest of the Moriches Catering team were awesome, despite the 90 degree heat for our outdoor wedding. They were professional, communicative, and on time. I can’t say enough good things about this company, they really helped make our wedding the best it could be, thank you!!

Not even sure where to begin. I am still so blown away by the job Anthony and all of Moriches Catering team did for our last minute backyard wedding. During these crazy times, and having to cancel my original wedding plans, Anthony swooped in and completely saved the day! Anthony was always able to put my mind at ease. He is the most well versed on all things weddings, or any private event for that matter. Not only are they experts at how they execute an event, but the food itself is to die for!!!! I am happy to say I was NOT one of those brides that hardly ate at her own wedding. Every guest was praising not only his food, but it’s presentation as well. Down to every last detail you can see how much pride Moriches Catering takes in their service. If you are planning any kind of event, I can not recommend utilizing Moriches Catering enough. There is no doubt you will be as impressed as myself, my new husband, and all of our friends and family. If you want a flawless event, where every single detail is taken care of, BOOK MORICHES CATERING. Our day was absolutely perfect and Moriches Catering had everything to do with that!!!

Anthony and Carmen were amazing throughout the entire planning process. In addition to providing the food and alcohol and staff, they also helped coordinate the event by making timelines, coordinating rentals, recommending other vendors, and so much more. The food was INCREDIBLE and everyone loved the appetizers. The staff was super attentive and friendly. They made sure my husband and I actually ate and that we always had a drink in our hands. My wedding would not have been the same without them. I cannot recommend them enough - they are the absolute best!!
12/11/2019 • Emily D
Anthony is killer and on top of everything. I knew that having such a DIY wedding in the middle of the woods would require that added layer of complexity. I felt super confident that Anthony had it all covered from soup to nuts. He was so thorough leading up to the wedding with questions / checklists / suggestions etc. Game plan for everything. I had a decent size bridal party and he kept everyone in check. He made sure Brendan & I always had a drink in our hand and our own selection of appetizers and full dinner plate saved for us. We had a french fry bar at the end of the night that he delivered to me in the middle of the dance floor. Was so appreciative. People could not stop talking about how delicious the food was either. Cannot recommend Anthony, Carmen & team enough.

I do not have enough words to explain how thankful I am that we found Moriches Catering for our wedding. Anthony, Carmen, and their truly skilled (and fun) team made not only our foodie dreams come true, they were an integral part of planning our wedding. Anthony and Carmen are truly in the right business. He listened to exactly what we were looking for, made some awesomely helpful suggestions, and our day came out perfectly. Anthony has great communication and helped us organize everything from our reception tent down to the linens and colors of the silverware. On the day of, Anthony and the team set up our reception and ceremony areas so beautifully, and It was exactly what we had envisioned. Anthony was in constant communication with my parents and myself from jump and never got tripped up in the endless shuffle of wedding emails/calls. They are also such a professional and skilled team – you can tell they love what they do and that they do it often. There was never any question about Moriches Catering. They strived to get us the best prices on everything and worked out every wedding kink flawlessly. The food is a whole other story – our friends and family cannot stop talking about how spectacular the food and drinks were. We thought it was great that Anthony made us sit down and enjoy the food as the bride and groom so often forget to do. The passed hors d’oeuvres were the kind of food you remember – well fashioned and extremely tasty. Our dinner had many options that flowed well and suited our wedding theme. This crew is making me want to have an excuse to have another party – Moriches Catering is the first and only caterer I will ever use!

I don't even know where to begin! Anthony and Carmen and their team were the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I am soooo blown away! My wedding would not have been nearly as perfect, unforgettable, and well coordinated if it wasn't for Moriches Catering! From the very beginning, they were so attentive to every.single.little.detail. They took care of every single thing, stayed on top of everything, coordinated all other vendors, kept us calm and stress free, and were just beyond anything we could have imagined! I owe my wedding being the best day ever mainly to Moriches Catering!!! So now the food.... WOW! It was sooo delicious!!! Our cocktail hour had the coolest and most unique dishes and they tasted incredible! The dinner was so so delicious and everyone was raving about it! And on top of their incredible professionalism, Carmen and Anthony are just really great, amazing, and down to earth people (who are also beyond cute together). Every single thing was taken care of and anything that came up last minute or at any moment was quickly and smoothly taken care of. Also, I need to take a minute to talk about Tori! She took care of my me and my husband on the day of our wedding (making sure we're eating, bringing us anything we need, helping with anything, staying on top of timeline, directing us, etc.) and she did it all flawlessly! She is also just such a sweet and kind person who was so happy and bubbly and professional! Seriously, everything was so incredible and it was truly the best day of our lives and I have to say almost all of it was thanks to Moriches Catering!!!!

There are not enough positive things we could say about Anthony & Carmen!! From start to finish they were so helpful! I was beyond impressed how our wedding turned out. It was better then ever imagined! We got so many compliments on our food!! XO
8/21/2019 • Alesandra K
Was really excited to work with this company but left disappointed and frustrated. While communicating via email, they were very thorough answering questions. However, expect to pay $150 just for a tasting. They also gave our date to someone else while we were emailing. They were kind of snotty in their responses too. Disappointing.
Response from the Vendor on 08/21/2019
I’m very sorry to hear you are disappointed but unfortunately we did not receive a deposit, you never signed a contract and you never asked us to reserve the date for you. We receive inquiries on different dates all the time and we cannot hold...
a date just because a couple emails us. Another couple placed their deposit down on your date and we offered to cater your wedding without our coordination services but you graciously declined. Again I am sorry that you are so disappointed but we are still available to cook for your wedding if you would like. My name is Anthony and I am the owner, if you would like to discuss this further please feel free to contact me at 631.874.0995.

Anthony and Carmen are the ultimate professionals! From our first meeting for the tasting menu, they treat you like family and you quickly understand that they truly want only the best for you. Given that our wedding was outdoors at a private residence, we had to engage with a number of vendors, many of which Anthony recommended, all of whom were fantastic. The food was AMAZING - we heard from so many wedding guests that it was some of the best wedding food that had ever had. Due to the Moriches Catering team, we were able to truly enjoy our special day and did not worry about any of the logistics and details. We wholeheartedly and enthusiastically would recommend them for your big day!

Moriches Catering was phenomenal! This is the 3rd wedding in our family that we have used them for. We used them recently for our backyard wedding in late August. The food was delicious and the service was over and beyond. We have been receiving tons of compliments from our Guests on how good the food was and how friendly and sufficient the servers and bartenders were. Anthony and his wife are very easy to work with and I would definitely use them for another event in the future!!!
10/28/2018 • Jessica M
Truly the BEST EVER! I wish I could give TEN STARS!!!!!! Thank you, Anthony and Carmen for all that you did to make our catering and wedding day one of the best days of our lives. Our family and friends can't stop raving (over a month later!!!!) about how amazing all of the food was. Your attention to detail, prompt assistance throughout the entire process, and your quality of food and service are hands down the best in the industry. We're so lucky to have met you both and I can't stop thanking you for all of your help and support along the way. Not only are Anthony and Carmen top notch, but their staff is amazing as well. I've never met more enthusiastic servers and bar staff. Ourselves and our guests wanted for nothing! It seemed like they were all so attentive that they knew we needed something before we even realized it. If you're looking to hire a caterer for your small, medium, or large event, truly look no further!! You will NOT be disappointed. I can't wait to work with you both again some day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I don’t have nearly enough space here to describe all the amazing things about Anthony and the Moriches Catering team! From start to finish, the process was a breeze! Anthony was always available with advice and prompt answers to my questions. This guy knows his stuff and is an absolute pleasure to work with. He has a team of reliable vendors (tent, DJ, flowers, photographer, portable bathrooms, etc) that he works with regularly so he can help you attain those services as well. And speaking of breezes, our wedding was on the water on an extremely windy and chilly day. Anthony and his team made the necessary adjustments to the tent and party area to make the party flow smoothly and so my decorations didn’t get damaged by the wind. His staff was hardworking and extremely pleasant and attentive to our every need. They were like a well oiled machine! And the FOOD!!!! Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! The grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters, mini beef tacos, pulled pork sliders were among my favorite appetizers. And the skirt steak!!!! You will not get better steak anywhere! The wedding cake was absolutely beautiful with a simple design and tasted like heaven. Seriously, do not look any further for a catering company because Moriches has it ALL!!!!!!!

Anthony & the entire Moriches Catering staff were truly incredible! From the start of planning the event to executing the event Anthony could not have been more helpful & amazing! Anything I needed he had answers for or assisted in every way possible. The food was superb!! Every guest raved about it. I'm not one to typically write reviews, but this is one for the books. I would recommend Moriches Catering over anyone out east. Thank you Anthony, Carmine & the entire staff at Moriches Catering for truly making our 10 Year Vow Renewal a day to remember.

Anthony and his wife are the best! They did our off-site wedding and did it with such grace and perfection. Anthony went above and beyond for us. He was also great at calming me down during my many wedding freak outs. Planning an off-site wedding isn’t easy, but Anthony made it so much easier. Besides being the man, the food is delicious. Everyone raved about our food after the wedding and even still months later. People loved the cocktail hour food with the mini pizzas in boxes and the chocolate shake shots. Anthony really has it all. Not only was he the caterer but he was the day- of event coordinator. Do not be worried when you see an extra service price. It. Is. Worth. It. He. Does. Everything. He wrapped all of my chairs with ribbon and made sure all of the deliveries went smoothly. He met with all of the various vendors and was really like a wedding planner. He did more than I’m sure any other caterer would do. You really get so much help from him we were all blown away. Anthony always made sure me and my husband had food and something to drink. The best the best the best. Choose them and you will not be disappointed. His service is unbelievable and the food is too. So much to choose from and it is all delicious. Thank you! 💗

Moriches Catering are amazing. We just had our daughter's wedding reception on our property and it can become quite the task to pull off when you host your own wedding. Working with Anthony and hiring Moriches Catering, made the whole process so enjoyable. Anthony & Carmen are so knowledgeable and meticulous that no detail was overlooked. From start to finish, everything went so smoothly. If you are looking for incredibly fantastic food, care and concern for every detail, and an awesome staff to work with on your special day, then look no further than Moriches Catering. Anthony & Carmen will provide you with just that. Thanks for a FANTASTIC wedding!!!!

Anthony and his team were amazing on our wedding day and I could not recommend them more highly. They were incredibly responsive during our planning and really brought their expertise without making us feel overwhelmed or pressured. We didn't have much experience with wedding planning and Anthony made sure all of our bases were covered (shout out to him making we were all set re: garbage disposal). There were a lot of details that I either had little or no opinion on and Anthony made sure that everything was more than perfect for the day-of. We also switched up our entire schedule on him last minute (we randomly decided to elope, nixed our ceremony and made the whole day a giant reception instead) and he pivoted to our new plan seamlessly. During the wedding weekend Anthony made sure that everything was taken care of, that my then-fiance and I had nothing to worry about and that the entire event went off perfectly. If there was anything that went wrong, I didn't know about it and neither did my guests. He thoughtfully made sure that we had a chance to try all of our appetizers and made sure that we ate throughout the reception. The food was also phenomenal- my guests could not stop talking about how it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. Anthony and his team are amazing and I could not thank them enough for making our event exactly the way we wanted it to be.
12/16/2017 • Amanda S
Anthony was incredible to work with from the very first email that he answered! He is extremely knowledgeable about the entire wedding planning process (not just the food aspect) and was really accommodating and easy going when I wanted to be a little more hands-on to save some money on decor etc. We received so many compliments from our guests saying that our wedding was one of the most fun parties they had ever been to—and I know that Anthony was a big part of making that happen. We can't say enough great things about Moriches Catering!

Anthony and Carmen gave my daughter and son-in-law a fabulous wedding. They knew the venue and other vendors we were working with, which was a huge plus. Anthony and Carmen not only provided extremely delicious food at a reasonable price, but also helped coordinate all of our rentals and made sure everything ran smoothly. They went above and beyond. Anthony went so far as to stand next to the bride and groom's table during dinner to make sure they ate and no one disturbed them. I can't recommend Moriches Caterers enough. They are professional, have a complete staff and want to make sure your day is stress free and perfect in every way. Thank you. You are the best.
7/11/2017 • AnnMarie B
Words cannot express how great Anthony and Carmen were to work with. We got married at the Peconic River Herb Farm in Calverton, NY where we had to bring EVERYTHING in. Anthony and Carmen worked with us every step of the way and answered any and all questions we had. They set everything up day of and took everything down which took a lot of work and stress off of us. The food was absolutely AMAZING! We did stations and people definitely went back up for seconds. The service of Anthony and Carmen and all of their staff was top-knotch. They did everything we asked of them. I really cannot say enough good things. Anthony even did the walk through of our ceremony rehearsal because our officiant wanted to do it the day of the wedding which I was not okay with. If you want as much of a stress free process as you can get meet with Moriches Caterers.
7/02/2017 • Joy W
I am as picky and detail oriented as they come and Moriches catering exceeded my expectations. The food was phenomenal and the staff was just as impressive. They catered our "I Do BBQ" for 80 people July 1, 2017 and it was amazing. Now, we are even more excited for them to cater our wedding in October!! Thank you Anthony and Carmen

We had our wedding last summer on the beach... literally on the beach, in the sand. We can't say enough about Anthony and Carmen as they have truly made our wedding the best day of our lives! They went above and beyond throughout the entire day! They were involved with all the other vendors and let's us be completely stress free the day of our wedding! Every step of the entire planning process they were literally there with us! Their staff was extremely respectful and amazing!!! Thank you both for making our day the best ever!!!

We had our wedding a few weeks ago, August 6th, in the Hamptons. We have nothing but the best things to say. Our guests are still raving about the food, service and how wonderful everything was. We could not be happier. Anthony and Carmen went above and beyond from day one. They helped us to organize the rentals, tent, and gave us recommendations for other vendors (bathroom trailer, sanitation, etc.). The week of, Anthony met with us on location, and we went through every single detail, even things we would have never thought of. The morning of the wedding, they arrived at least 7 hours before our ceremony and the work that they and their team did was amazing. The blank canvas that was our backyard transformed into the most beautiful wedding location, more beautiful than we imagined. They set up everything. I sent them pictures and they setup up all the extras, seating chart, memorial table, sign in board, and most especially all of our centerpieces (which were a pain =/). All my husband and I keep saying is that it exceeded our expectations every time we turned around. I was on the premises the whole day of, and didn't have to do a single thing. Their organization, preparedness and pleasurable attitude is beyond words. While we would never forget our wedding day, we are so happy that instead of looking back and picking at things that went wrong, we can just look back and be so happy that everything went right. Thank you so much!
