About Elysian Events Catering
Elysian Events Catering
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!
We were married shortly before launching Elysian Events in the fall of 2013. Our lifelong careers in restaurants and hospitality have made catering a natural fit for us. We have been a part of many events along the way, and every one has been a great experience that we wouldn’t trade for anything. Food and hospitality are our passions. We love helping to create something special and look forward to doing the same for you!

Amazing food and service!
As an out of state bride Carrie Ann made communication over email easy and stress free. The Elysian team provided great service and food for our wedding that everyone raved about. They were professional and had experience working with our venue that was insightful and made the whole day a delight!
Elysian Events•Jun 26, 2026Thank you Sabrina! We are so happy to hear that we made your planning less stressful! I know how difficult it is to plan from a distance! We do strive to provide great service before and during the event as well as food! Glad that we made that happen for you! Best wishes from Carrie Ann & the Elysian team!

Elysian Catering
We looked at a lot of catering options in New Orleans and none came close to beating the pricing that Elysian offered. We were able to easily customize our menu as well as add on extra items, all for less than most of the other well known caterers in town. And the best part was that the food quality is excellent! Most of our guests raved about the food options they provided. The custom cocktails and bar options were amazing and also very affordable! We highly recommend using Elysian.
Elysian Events•Jun 8, 2026Thank you Taylor! I am so glad that you were so happy with our food and pricing! It is also great to hear that your guests were raving about the food, and everyone enjoyed the cocktails. Y'all were great to work with as well. Best wishes!

Couldn’t recommend more
Elysian catering did an incredible job with our wedding. The food was, of course, delicious and beautifully presented but beyond that, they were so easy to work with. Jen was responsive to all our questions and helped us figure out things that worked for our budget. Her whole team is so experienced, I did not have to worry one bit during our wedding or welcome party (Elysian catered both) - everything ran so smoothly and our guests raved about the food AND the drinks. The quality of their bartenders cannot be over stated - highly highly recommend!
Elysian Events•May 29, 2026Thank you Caitlin! We are always happy to hear that we were able to make the planning process easier and less stressful. Derbes Mansion is such a beautiful venue and great to work at. We love hearing that people loved the food, drinks and service! Best wishes to you both!

Elysian Events
From our first conversation with Elysian Events Catering, we knew we had found the right team for our wedding. They were incredibly responsive and patient as we worked through every detail of our menu, circling back with us again and again until everything was exactly what we wanted. The food itself was next level—every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Beyond just the catering, their staff was professional and gracious throughout the entire process. Elysian Events went above and beyond what we expected, and we couldn't have asked for better partners in making our ceremony day special.
Elysian Events•May 11, 2026Thank you Justin! It's great to hear that we exceeded your expectations. It is always fun to collaborate on new dishes and twists on current ones. The "churro" beignets were delicious!

Smooth catering, delicious food
Elysian was recommended by a family friend and we're so happy we went with them for our wedding. Their food was delicious and we got multiple reports from friends and family saying how much they enjoyed the meal. Amelia and the team were extremely responsive throughout the process and helped the entire night run effortlessly. 10/10. Can't wait to hire them for the next NOLA party.
Elysian Events•May 11, 2026Thank you Hyacinth! Always great to hear that our service leading up to the event helps relieve some stress from clients. MOH is such a great venue to have a family style meal as well! Let us know when you are ready to party together again!
