Elysian Events Catering 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • 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!

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!

Rougarou Shuckers & Crawfish 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Starts at $270

We're Clayton & Shahinoor—a married team behind this boutique crawfish and oyster catering crew. She's got Louisiana in her bones (raised in Lafayette), he swapped New England lobster bakes for mudbugs after moving to NOLA in 2012. We bring honest boils, friendly service, and zero corporate BS to weddings and celebrations. Small-batch, hands-on, and all heart. We're not the biggest—we're the best. Let's make your day delicious!

We hired Rougarou Shuckers & Crawfish for a private backyard crawfish boil and added chargrilled oysters as well. The crawfish was great and large in size - no shortcuts. The oyster recipe was amazing and the quality of everything was very high. This was definitely the best oyster and crawfish catering in New Orleans. The owners handled everything onsite, which was a great sign from the start. I’ll be hiring them for all of my future parties!

Boucherie 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Starts at $20 per person

Boucherie is a wedding catering business based out of New Orleans, Louisiana. Specializing in preparing Southern-inspired meals for happy couples in and around the Big Easy, this company delights in complementing receptions with their distinctive dishes. With years of catering experience, this seasoned team is passionate about seeing newlyweds enjoy their favorite foods. All that is required of you is to tell them about your dream wedding meal, and they will work diligently to bring your ideas to fruition.

For our wedding we tried to stay away from the whole "wedding industrial complex" and work with real people, who provide real services to normal people. Boucherie, is first and foremost a great restaurant. We did a full restaurant buy out for our rehearsal dinner, and people from NY, Cali, Chalmette and New Orleans were all thoroughly impressed. The same was true of the food the night of the wedding. They crushed it. Sara, was an absolute joy to work with. She's a straight shooter which is I appreciated. Additionally, she went out of her way to make it special, to work with us, and to improve upon what we asked for. Her team the day of was great. Pro Tip: Charcuterie Board was a show stopper!

My House Events 

4.9

  • Starts at $840
  • Serves New Orleans, LA

Welcome to My House Events, a mission-centered catering company serving Los Angeles, New Orleans, and beyond. We partner with BIPOC, Women, and LGBTQ+ chefs and event professionals to create extraordinary events that go beyond traditional catering. From food trucks to lavish multi-course dinners, our diverse menus are tailored to your tastes, ensuring an unforgettable culinary experience. At My House Events, we take pride in curating events that exceed expectations while cultivating lasting relationships with our valued clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
Since our venue did not have a preferred vendor list or a built-in catering team, we were given maximum flexibility (which is also intimidating, as the choice and freedom can be a bit overwhelming). To help narrow things down, our planner prompted us to choose a single type of cuisine that we like, and work from there. We both love New Orleans / Cajun cuisine, so enter My House. From their first proposal, we were all in. It featured childhood favorites like fried catfish, and out-of-the-ordinary passed appetizers like mini chicken & waffles. Our first calls with them were relaxed, collaborative and informative. Our first tasting, while kinda pricey (isn't everything?), went really well - and gave us a chance to provide more feedback and tweaks, which were promptly applied to later estimates and menus. As our planning evolved, it was a little tough to try to keep the budget in check, and it meant making some tough calls to cut costs (for instance - jettisoning late night bites), My House was always willing to work with both us and our planner on finding financial solutions - but there were a few moments where we felt like we didn't know what to expect, and stressed out a bit when we saw the latest numbers. I suppose this is part of the process for lots of couples. I never lost faith that they'd turn it out on the big day, and I'm happy to share that they did just that. They created an incredibly tasteful display for our buffet, which struck a balance between rustic and elegant. The staff was helpful, efficient, and professional - but I want to give special highlight to Simone. Simone was personable, diligent and intuitive. She knows exactly what she's doing, any couple would be very lucky to have her running any aspect of their event - because she does it with aplomb. The food was absolutely delicious. Big, bold flavors - zesty, crunchy, creamy, smoky, cheesy, sweet and spicy and everything in between . We loved hosting such a delectable menu that departed from the traditional wedding fare, but stayed true to the cuisine of New Orleans and the tastes of Southern comfort. So, so, so, so good!

Graze Dat! Charcuterie 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Starts at $450

Graze Dat Charcuterie takes the diverse presentation aspect to an entirely new level. The charcuterie arrangements, or “grazing” boards, produced by owner Elizabeth Choto are vibrant works of art, with various cured meats, sausages, fruits, vegetables, pickles, chutneys and cheeses arrayed in spiraling, three dimensional designs that often resemble floral arrangements

Hiring Graze Dat to put together a grazing table for a good friends babyshower was the best decision in regards to food options I could have made. Not only was it beautiful, but so delicious and fresh. It was a hit and completely stress free! I could not recommend them more and will be a returning customer for sure.

South Sip & Co was seriously SO easy to work with. They were SO communicative with this whole process- even before I decided to book them!

When taking our photos after, Madison made sure we had special glasses, made sure I was comfortable, held my bouquet, my dress, she did it all! She was open to every single suggestion that I had and made it happen. This was the perfect touch to add to our wedding and we are so happy that we did!

Awarded Best of Zola
We arranged to have the Tuck-ins team come to our wedding to set up a table with small fire stations and Tuck-ins so that our guests could roast their own s'mores as a fun, interactive dessert. All of my guests loved them and they were also able to take some home if they wanted to save one for later. Additionally, working with the Tuck-ins team was great; they're very responsive and were even able to customize the labels on the Tuck-ins to have our names and wedding date on them. It was truly a unique part of our wedding and I think everyone enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
