What to use in place of Bacon?
Morningstar makes a bacon soystrip thats really quite tasty, and smells a lot like bacon too.

Wow, can hardly wait to hear what you'll be doing for his Bar Mitzvah!
kosher weddings - not outrageously priced or an outrageous amount of food
I hope so. But others may seek the same info, so that's why I answered.
Glatt Kosher Kingdom
We were there on Jan. 1st, and I pretty much liked it. We bought the chickens for .99 per pound - they're small, but that's an amazing price! Also family packs of cutlets for 3.69 per pound (they're about 6 pounds), which is the best I've seen in awhile.
There were several other items we use that had good prices, such as Barilla sauces, Tropicana OJ. We also bought the challahs, which were OK, but not on the same par as Zomicks (we like egg challah).
As someone who doesn't live in 5Towns, but come there often, I like that it's so close to Costco, so I can get what I need in Costco and then head over here.
Did the area need another store? Not really, but competition is good for consumers. I wish all the stores good luck, especially in these rough times.
kosher weddings - not outrageously priced or an outrageous amount of food
With almost all of these weddings, no one remembers the food. They will remember whether it was "leibadich" (lively) or not. In Orthodox circles of all ilks, you're talking about people who frequently attend several weddings a month, so they're not not there for the food. When you're hosting upwards of 400 people, you can't serve steak as a main course unless you have money to burn.
Stick to one selection for your main course. People tend to do most of their eating at the shmog anyway.
