Elysian Events Catering

New Orleans, LA
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $31

The first wedding we catered was our own! Hi, we are Jen and Brandon, and we created Elysian Events to share our love of the exceptional cuisine of Louisiana with you. We have been a part of many special events since that first one, and we always bring our passion and decades of professional hospitality experience to meet every occasion. Get in touch with us today, and we can begin to bring your vision for your perfect day to life!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hands down the best and easiest vendor to work with! I can’t recommend them enough, Elysian Events truly went above and beyond to make our day so special. First and foremost - the food was absolutely delicious. We were so impressed by the amazing menu options, it was very difficult to choose because everything sounded so good! We heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests about how impeccable the food was. We had several guests who were vegan and gluten-free. Elysian Events gave us numerous options on their menu to choose from, and also worked with us to swap ingredients around to be more GF/V friendly - like tortilla chips instead of pita in the hors d'oeuvre or making sure the dressing on the salad was vegan friendly. It was so important for us to provide a delicious meal to our guests with dietary restrictions, Elysian Events made it so easy! Amelia is a rockstar. We were on a tight budget and I did much of the planning and coordinating myself. Amelia walked us through everything and quickly responded to all of our questions, big and small - from catering options, to menu signage, trash, making sure we had a stand for the cake, and more! Elysian Events also went above and beyond to accommodate us with a regional wedding tradition. In my part of Ohio we have a cookie table tradition, where the family makes dozens and dozens of cookies. In my case my mom and Aunt drove about 600 cookies down! Elysian Events not only helped by supplying trays for the cookies, but to tray them and set them out once dinner service was complete. I’m so grateful for how incredibly accommodating they were and how seamless everything was. I can’t recommend them enough!

Look no further than Paradigm Gardens for the unforgettable, joyful, vibrant, delicious and thoughtful wedding or celebration that you've always imagined! We had always admired the space for its lush, colorful, genuine energy, but we had no idea how special and personal the experience would be when we reached out to inquire about having our wedding in the garden. Starting at the beginning, Karen was so available and personable which made it possible for us to talk through our needs and hopes and find a solution that would work for our budget and vison. From that point, we felt extremely supported throughout the year leading up to our wedding with prompt answers whenever we had questions, phone calls to discuss any idea we had to see how we could make it work in the garden, and a menu tasting that was so much fun and SO delicious! One major point to any prospective couple, the food is SPECTACULAR! Made on the outdoor grill and brick oven, the culinary experience is a feast for every sense and seriously something our guests (and we) are still talking about! With rain in the forecast as our wedding approached, Karen and Sarah made sure every detail was thought of to ease our nerves, and we had a perfect rain plan that was stunning and perfect! The Paradigm team thinks of every detail so that you can create the day of your dreams. The garden flowers and foliage w ere just divine, the layout was thought out perfectly for our group size, the food was prepared and served without us having to think about a thing and we could just soak in our amazing family and friends, and the love and joy around us! The staff were such a delight and so kind and helpful throughout the evening! We had an absolute BLAST and will remember every second of the perfect day to start our next chapter together. Paradigm is the best decision we made aside from marrying each other!

It should be 10 stars to be honest! Working with Abby and her team was the easiest, most professional, incredibly thorough, and insanely fun experience we had with planning our wedding. Any problem I was trying to solve concerning ceremony music, second lines, and eight piece bands, she took care of with utter perfection. They are completely transparent with pricing and expectations, and then they went above and beyond to make our day unbelievable. Even the little things you don’t think of from parade permits to a microphone for the officiant, Abby was on it! All we had to do was explain that we were millennials, and the eight piece band took that and ran with an utterly perfect set list! It was nothing short of magic! They are worth every penny and I hope to work with them again in the future. Thank you for everything!

What some of you may or may not know is that I have two superpowers. During the day, I teach middle school English Language Arts. In the evenings, I turn sugar & flour into sensational works of delicious, edible art. I've been teaching for 11+ years and baking for over 40 years. ​ Both are my passions. As much joy as I get out of teaching, baking is the icing on the cake! About 11 years ago, I turned my hobby baking into a "side hustle" that grew into a thriving business. The journey has been filled with many sweet successes. I look forward to meeting with you and becoming a part of your beautiful story.

We opted into a tasting in advance, and the care she took in the preparation and presentation was truly remarkable. For our nearly 100 guests Sensational Sugah created our main cake (two cake flavors with a buttercream icing), a suprise carrot groom's cake, and two smaller dessert options that truly wowed our guests!

Photography has always been a meaningful part of my life. My dad's photographs hung in my bathroom as a small child, and I often admired them. When my mom would pull down old boxes of photos, I was struck by awe with every flip. By the time I was in high school, I always had a disposable in my pocket. It was so exciting to snap those brief moments. Although I have decades of experience behind the lens, it was not until 2020 that I officially opened by business as a freelancer. I love getting to know others, and am eager to help tell your story.

Stephen was so lovely and accommodating, helping us make our short-notice elopement extra special and romantic. We were instantly so comfortable with him, and his ease and familiarity with the city made him the perfect scout for great images. We love the pictures -- they totally captured our vibe -- and spending time with Stephen felt like hanging with a fun friend. Everything you could want!

I'm so happy I went with Crimson. Brandon and Adam were my absolute ride or dies. I hired them for day of coordination. I'm very Type A, so I had everything planned out, but they were lovely to regularly check in with and spit ideas off of and helped to refine my vision. I did all my planning out of state and sight unseen, so I was definitely nervous to arrive and see all my vendors and decor when I arrived, but Adam and Brandon really picked up the ball and ran with it once I arrived to NOLA. They were so helpful the day before to help run last minute errands and we luckily got into the venue early to set everything up. My friend was officiating, so they helped with the timing of the ceremony and everything. The day of they did an AMAZING job in finishing all the decorating and helping to flip the space from ceremony to reception. Even before the wedding, they picked us all up breakfast and coffee which was so sweet. I was honestly so at ease the day of the wedding because they anticipated every need. After everything, I can definitely say these guys are friends and I'm so happy we went with them because they really went above and beyond to help execute the most wonderful and stress free day.

She helped us develop a timeline that maximized our time with guests and on the dance floor, while still allowing us to have time to ourselves.

What an absolutely fantastic band! We booked them based off of other reviews since we live out of state. We have zero regrets! We had our wedding in the French Quarter and they played our second line, our ceremony, and the entire reception! We and every single one of our guests had a blast dancing to their music. They played jazz, gospel, and even a killer hava nagila. Rob, the band leader, is also organized, responsive, and communicative, and a super nice guy. The band was also great at corralling the guests (who had never done a 2nd line) and leading them out of the venue to glorious song and music before putting on a heck of a show through the streets of the quarter. We just wish we could have danced all night long to this band’s amazing music.

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a lover of art, stories, and spark—the perfect alchemy to creating and capturing all those memory-making, magical moments. Weddings, to me, are about your unique narrative, your origin stories and your threads of connection; the ways in which you’ve woven a love through a tapestry of compassion and inspiration and all that makes you you— both as individuals and as a couple. That’s the fabric of the photo, the material I like to work with; because of this, my photos lean atmospheric and candid.

When my planner recommended Jessica, I didn't think I had a chance at her having availability on my day, but I was wrong! Jessica is completely amazing. From hair trial to day of, she does everything to make you absolutely stunning on your big day. She tweaked my updo until it was just right.

Reverie & Riot

New Orleans, LA

  • Starts at $5,000

There is a particular kind of evening in New Orleans — when the light goes amber and low, when the iron balconies cast their familiar shadows, and the city feels less like a place and more like a feeling you've been chasing your whole life. That is what we build toward. Reverie & Riot is a luxury celebration design studio rooted in the French Quarter. We take a small number of weddings each year. Our commissions begin at $50,000 — we share this because transparency matters from the very first conversation.

We initially tried planning our wedding from out of state and quickly realized how challenging it can be to get real momentum without the right local support. Vendors were slow to respond, communication felt inconsistent, and even getting the planning process started became incredibly frustrating. What we thought would be manageable on our own soon felt overwhelming. Bringing Reverie & Riot on board changed everything. The value alone sets them apart — every detail felt intentional, elevated, and worth far more than what we invested. Brandon and Adam are an exceptional team whose professionalism and clarity immediately put us at ease. Their communication is prompt, their guidance is strategic, and their creativity is unmatched. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and then executed it flawlessly, turning what had been a stressful experience into an exciting one. You can tell they are deeply passionate about their work and committed to creating celebrations that feel authentic rather than formulaic. If you are looking for a team that will advocate for your vision, keep the process organized, and deliver remarkable results, Reverie & Riot is it. Outstanding people, outstanding service, and truly great value. Highly recommend.

I am convinced of how important it is to choose the right videographer, so subtly, gently was emphasized every detail of our celebration, the delight of the result. Lena is responsible and nice person, we discussed all the details before the celebration, all our wishes and ideas were taken into account. Responsive, always in touch, so all five stars and many thanks! We recommend 100%

Our wedding at Honfleur at The Hotel Provincial was everything we hoped for and more. From our first conversation, the team communicated clearly and promptly about every detail, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. They knew the ceremony and reception spaces inside and out, which meant they could coordinate every element flawlessly on our wedding day. The staff was professional and skilled, treating us and our guests with genuine courtesy throughout the evening. The classic New Orleans French Quarter courtyard setting gave our celebration an intimate feel that was perfect for us. We highly recommend Honfleur to any couple looking for a beautiful, authentic NOLA wedding venue.
