"Up in Smoke" (UIS) is a fitting name for this business. It is a term used when a plan fails or…read morecomes to nothing. It is also a term used to describe something destroyed by fire. I wish I could say fire was used in the preparation of the food I sampled, but it may have not been used. I take you to the 4th of July 2023. I attended a party which used brisket purchased from this business. A business that falsely describes, on its corporate web site, its brisket as "smoked brisket". See attached picture from company web site. Note: brisket is the most popular meat for smoking, followed in popularity by pork butt, pork shoulder and ribs. The UIS brisket had zero smoked flavor, and tasted and looked like pot roast (brisket is always sliced against the grain and this was not the case here. There were strings of meat when it fell apart). It had the texture of a chuck roast, cooked as pot roast and then sliced in the shape of brisket slices, though not as long. I emailed an owner named Jeff a few days later to voice my concern. He's apparently in denial. Claims the brisket is now Au Ju's style. Meaning, Cooked in liquid. Conveniently not mentioned on their web site. Again, see picture from web site taken today. Au Ju's is kept a secret from those browsing the web site. Why would a bbq business prepare the most popular smoked cut of meat a different way? I don't know. I can speculate two possibilities. One is laziness. Smoking takes time and effort. Throwing brisket in liquid to cook is easy, yet yields horrible bbq results. The other is difficulty smoking wherever they were smoking. Neighbors often complain about smoke in the air. Happened to Smokin' Al's in Massapequa. Their proper solution for Al's was to smoke food elsewhere. Back to the situation at hand. So Jeff tells me that they sell 3000 pounds of brisket annually and I am the first to complain it isn't smoked by a business built on and around smoke. Laughable. I offered to bring in samples of the alleged beef brisket to demonstrate that it is probably fake and chuck roast instead but my offer was ignored. That says a lot about this business. Jeff claimed that all customers are notified of the Au Jus preparation and I confirmed that was not the case here.

We truly could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding venue. From the very beginning, Swan Lake…read moremade us feel heard and cared for, but what meant the most was how willing they were to make our wedding feel like us. They curated our cocktail hour menu to incorporate both Ecuadorian and Puerto Rican food, which was incredibly special to us and something our families absolutely loved. Charlie, the chef, was amazing, and Sophia was such a wonderful point person throughout the entire process. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and everything felt so well taken care of on our wedding day. Our guests continue to talk about the food and how beautiful everything was. We also hired Elena, the maitre d', to help us with some of the decor, and she went above and beyond. She made sure everything looked beautiful and, most importantly, that the entire night was running smoothly. Knowing she was there taking care of everything allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. Swan Lake didn't just host our wedding, they helped bring our vision to life and made us feel so taken care of throughout the entire experience. We will always be grateful for that.

Since everything needed…read moreto be brought in, there were a lot of moving pieces, but their team made the entire process feel easy. They handled all communication with the tent and rental company and gave us honest, thoughtful recommendations on everything from the tablescapes to the alcohol. We truly trusted Lenny, Allison, and the entire team throughout the planning process and never felt like we were being upselled, which we really appreciated. They were very transparent about pricing, and we felt their prices were fair for the quality of the food and level of service they provided. They are really more than just a catering company - they helped us plan and coordinate every aspect of the day. We walked through the timeline for dinner, dances, speeches, etc, and when the day came, Lenny was on-site overseeing it all and making sure the vendors (DJ, photographer, etc,.) were all on the same page. This eliminated so much stress since we did not have our wedding at a traditional venue - we even had to bring in bathrooms! Allison also helped us visualize our layout and table spacing which was so helpful when you're working from scratch. She also helped us sort out some last-minute issues with our tent when our anticipated guest count jumped from 125 to 150. The food was amazing! And plentiful. I'm still thinking about our sushi bar! Our tasting with Lenny was also such an enjoyable part of the planning process. Passed apps were so creative and I loved having so many options to choose from. And as an East End local it meant a lot to me to incorporate locally-sourced and seasonal ingredients, so I loved that Lenny took such care in crafting his menus. My husband and I also had a staff member, Bella, attending just to us. Everybody warns you how hard it is to eat on your wedding day but Bella made sure we had plates of appetizers waiting for us after cocktail hour - she was amazing! We spent 11 months planning our wedding, and I owe it to Moriches Catering for making the planning experience as stress free as possible. Their attention to detail was spectacular and they were always available for a call to discuss any questions. If there were any hiccups on our wedding day, I was completely unaware of them, which is exactly what you want as a bride. Our wedding came together beautifully, and we were able to relax and enjoy the day knowing they had it all under control. We're so grateful to Lenny and Moriches Catering!

You Nailed it. Hahaah thanks for making my evening stress free. The cake was phenomenal, beautifully decorated and tasted amazing. The ice cream station I added on was a hit with the kids. Perfect amount of toppings and the ice cream was good. I'd suggest this add on to all. The food was amazing as well and I'm a picky Ala Vodka guy, this was up there with mom's cooking. The grilled steak was perfectly marinated and t asty. I tried the Alison chicken as one of my mains and it was delicious as well. I was pleased to have made that choice. I chose the stuffed fillet of sole as my fish choice. I'm not a seafood eater due to allergy. But my family went up for seconds. Also I wanted to review the salad. I chose the Greek salad, something many people enjoy but it's one of the sides I pick apart and only eat what I like. The way the salad was prepared was unique. It was separated in a way you can grab the greens and whatever add ons you want and leave what you don't off the plate. Small things like that add up to me. I thank you all at BCC for being a professional establishment while being exceptional people to be around. I wish you the best success. I'll see you for my next event. Thanks.

Beautiful Venue and Great Food, but Management Prioritizes Corporate Revenue Over Contracted…read moreTimelines Our wedding at Bellport Country Club was a mix of a beautiful celebration and incredibly disappointing management logistics. The Positives: On the day of, the food was absolutely fantastic, the cocktail hour food was delicious, and the floor staff and bridal attendants worked tirelessly to take care of us. Management was responsive during the planning process, let us drop off our decor a day early, and the venue grounds are physically stunning. The Realities Future Saturday Couples Must Know: While our day was beautiful, working with upper management revealed a frustrating pattern of empty promises, restricted spaces, and logistical failures: * The Saturday Premium Trap & Timeline Shortage: Saturday evening weddings require the highest financial premiums and guest minimum numbers, yet you receive the least amount of venue access if they book a prior event. Despite locking in our evening ceiling lighting layout a year in advance, management booked a high-volume morning party right before our slot. They promised us in writing that our florist would have a cleared room at 5:00 PM. Instead, the morning party ran late, obstructing our setup, delaying our food service, and resulting in a 12.5% loss of our contracted evening reception window while permanently rushing our portraits * Cramped Spaces & Limited Photo Access: Despite marketing their beautiful property, you are highly restricted on space. We were not actually allowed to use the golf course for our photos; there is essentially only one specific spot near the property you can utilize. Additionally, the indoor cocktail hour space was incredibly tight and uncomfortable for our 225-person guest count. * The Operational Double Standard: Looking back, the planning process felt like we were just being 'yes'd to death' by a sales department that didn't want to say 'no' to a premium booking. They market the venue as 100% customizable, but they lack the operational execution to handle the reality of those custom designs. Furthermore, a glaring operational negligence was set: management has since attempted to blame our vendors for timeline delays, completely hiding the fact that our family and guests arriving at 5:30 PM physically witnessed the morning party's guests still lingering inside our paid ballroom footprint, while our entertainment team was also delayed in setting up their equipment * The Verdict: What is most disappointing is that when we privately reached out to management via email to address this mathematical timeline shortage, we were met with initial gaslighting and have since been completely ignored. For a venue that actively campaigned to be named "Long Island Brides Best Venue" by using giveaway promotions, it is deeply discouraging to see that they put immense operational effort into winning marketing awards, yet completely falls short when it comes to delivering basic corporate integrity to a verified client. If you book an event here, verify every operational boundary in strict writing, and hope and pray they don't book a party right prior to yours, because management's verbal assurances are completely empty.
