Pearl Catering. The Pearl of the North Shore, reimagined.
Inside the newly transformed Danfords Hotel & Marina — renovated ballrooms, a private bridal suite, and a culinary team that takes its cues from one of Long Island's most celebrated harbor settings.
A historic harbor address, completely reimagined for the next generation of celebrations.
Perched on the historic harbor of Port Jefferson, Danfords Hotel & Marina has been a treasured Long Island landmark since the late 1800s. Pearl Catering operates the property's full event program — and in 2025, Top Flight Hospitality Group took over all food and beverage operations, ushering in a bold new chapter for the iconic property.
A complete transformation followed: renovated ballrooms, refreshed event spaces, a brand new bridal suite, and the launch of Black Pearl Seafood & Chophouse at the property's heart. The result is a destination that honors its legacy while delivering the elevated hospitality today's clients expect.
From sit-down weddings to corporate luncheons, communions, and milestone parties, every Pearl Catering event is shaped by the same hospitality team — and the same harbor view that's drawn couples and gatherings to this address for generations.
Curated for every kind of celebration.
From off-season value to fully-customized wedding design, Pearl Catering offers a package for every vision and every guest count.
