We have been working with Cathy and so far working with her has been a blessing! We are looking forward to our tasting we have scheduled and continuing to work with her for our wedding. -

Philip Stone Caterers at the Hempstead House at the Sands Point Preserve are absolutely fantastic. From the first time we met Moe and Emily, we knew we were in great hands. Moe was so professional. He had great patience with me as I asked a million questions, added last-minute requests and changed my mind on items a few times. I wanted to create a food and wine festival or extended cocktail party style wedding and he was so unbelievably helpful. He and Emily helped us to execute the exact vision that we had for the event.
The food is absolutely amazing. We actually had Philip Stone careering at a wedding we attended previously (Lake Success) so we knew it was going to be great. Moe and Emily were so flexible and helped us curate the perfect menu for the night. From fulfilling my requests for small serving plates so that people could walk around and eat to adding a Seafood table at the 11th hour.
The day of the wedding was flawless. They always made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed. I am so thankful to have had Moe and Emily as part of our perfect day. Working with them was a dream! -

User2491369 Sent on 01/03/2016We interviewed many caterers across different regions in an effort to find one who could put together a blend of traditionally prepared Indian and Chinese dishes along with passed appetizers from other regions. Our search came to a stop when did a tasting at Philip Stone. We frankly didn’t believe it was possible for a single caterer to execute the menu we had desired, which included Banana Leaf Wrapped Halibut, Saffron Biryani with Dried Fruits and Nuts, Goan Fish Curry, and a Lobster Stir Fry amongst others. When we saw the dishes as they arrived at our tasting and then tried them, my wife actually teared up a little. On the day of, they performed exceptionally. Their team provided truly exceptional service, from delivering welcome drinks at the entrance, coming up to our guests to serve hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail reception, serving all kinds of drinks at the bar, to serving a multi-course and complex dinner. Their team included chefs with expertise in different ethnic dishes, allowing us to serve authentic dishes such as Black Sesame Tang Yuan, Roomali Khasta, and Zong Zi. They also prepared a beautiful dessert station with outstanding desserts such as crisp egg tarts, mango mocha balls, and mango shrikhand. Every facet of their catering was outstanding. Their team lead at our event, Moe, was also an extremely well-prepared and professional director to work with. He assisted with us in selecting our rentals, and had taken extremely diligent notes throughout the process, missing no small detail. He offered numerous suggestions and ideas that were critical in helping us plan and layout the wedding. They did an absolutely outstanding job for us exceeding all expectations. -

Phillip Stone is the designated caterer for Lyndhurst Mansion property. I booked my wedding about 18 months in advance and in that time frame dealt with three catering managers. When our initial catering manager quit, no one filled us in or kept us aware of what was going on, the second manager was an absolute moron, but luckily third times a charm and our final catering manager was Brandon Harris who was an absolute delight to work with. Throughout the final 8 months of planning Brandon was excellent at communication, easy to reach, honest, professional, and helpful. The tasting was accommodating and delicious and the food choices are fantastic and plentiful. The cocktail hour had 10 passed appetizers, and two stations (though the options are endless depending on what you’d like to spend), the bar package is good with the option to add on additional signature cocktails. Tayla was our maître D and was super helpful with us dropping all of our décor items off as well as setting things up the day of. Brandon ran an exceptional day of- he kept calm and was very organized and had everyone comfortable. Our bridal attendant went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, she was so incredibly helpful. The day of the wedding there was an issue with the decorations for the ceremony space even though we were clear about what we would be doing, they made our florist change it last minute. The food was good although I found the fish to be far less remarkable than what we were given at the tasting. Everyone at the wedding seemed to be rather pleased with the food, especially the dessert parade and cocktail hour. My biggest issue with the catering was the fact that twice throughout the night the venue ran out of red wine. When my father asked for a glass at the cocktail hour the bartender said “We ran out up here, but you can walk to the carriage house and get some,” and I found that to be inappropriate since he was throwing the entire event, I just feel that for the cost that issue should’ve never came up. With that being said I think if Brandon was notified he probably would’ve fixed the problem as he did a seamless job of handling the many difficult aspects of the wedding throughout the day.
