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!

Jacques Imo's 

5.0

New Orleans, LA

    Since 1996 Jacques Imo's has been one of the hottest tickets in New Orleans for anyone looking for 'real Nawlin' food. Jacques imo's gives the unique food you are looking for that makes your guests keep talking about your wedding food months or even years later!!!

    I worked with Monique to cater my mylanchi which is a south Indian pre-wedding event. She was so easy to work with and helped me plan my menu based on what we wanted exactly for the event. I didn't get a chance to try the food beforehand but everything was delicious. I remember distinctly the lamb chops and the pasta being delicious! We got this savory pie that was a hit as well. We worked with Monique to have catering and bar staff as well and literally everything was perfect. Monique worked well with my dad as he had some questions here and there and it was literally a perfect event. The staff was incredible and everyone was just so sweet. I love working with people like this and am planning another event with them in 2021.

    Pigeon Caterers 

    5.0

    New Orleans, LA

      For us it begins with a great taste. Food is our passion and you’ll be able to taste the difference with our one of a kind chef executed menus that are prepared using the freshest ingredients. Here at Pigéon Caterers, headquartered out of Mid-City, we pride ourselves with providing authentic New Orleans Cuisine as well as culinary favorites from around the country. With a commitment to an elevated level of service and innovative ideas for presentation, we have the capacity to fulfill the dream of any Bride or Meeting Planner. Whether we are catering a lavish wedding, or a large corporate event, our passion for excellence is one in the same.

      Our venue provided catering as part of the inclusive wedding package. Pigeon was not the original caterer. They were brought on about 6-7 months after we signed our contract. Our venue was not great to work with. Communication was terrible, our contract turned out to be a mess with multiple dates listed, it took months of emails and phone calls before we got anywhere in the process. Shelley with Pigeon stepped in about 4 months before the wedding AND SAVED THE DAY!!! I felt so much better about the whole day when I was able to work with Pigeon directly. Shelley went above and beyond for our special day. The catering was fantastic. People are still talking about the boudin balls and shrimp and grits.

      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!

      2Brothers1Love, LLC. 

      5.0

      New Orleans, LA
      • Starts at $1,225

      2Brothers1Love offers nutritious simple meals based on contemporary Creole Cuisine. Our journey of taste starts in Louisiana goes through the Caribbean with African roots on an American palate, turning “Soul Food into Food For The Soul.” 2Brothers1Love delivers the unique energy coming from each plate that stands boldly and proud to express the diaspora of their culture

      My wife and I both worked in the service industry in New Orleans—me as a chef and my wife as a sommelier—so we have high standards for food. When we hired Chef David Hargrove and his catering company, 2brother1love, for our 130-person wedding at Music Box Village, we were absolutely blown away by the level of care, creativity, and service he provided. From the start, Chef David went above and beyond. He was incredibly communicative, listened closely to our needs, and worked with us to design a custom menu that reflected our tastes. Not only was the price more than fair compared to other options in New Orleans, but Chef David took the time to make sure every detail was perfect. The food itself was phenomenal. For appetizers, we had fried green tomatoes with crab salad, quesadillas, watermelon and feta skewers, and tuna tartare in crispy wonton shells. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The tuna tartare was a standout—bright, spicy, and perfectly balanced. For dinner, Chef David delivered an unforgettable feast. The braised lamb yassa with semolina dumplings was rich and succulent, while the seared salmon with lentils was perfectly cooked—no small feat for 130 guests! We also had Moroccan spiced chickpea stew, rice pilaf, stewed collard greens, and a halloumi-strawberry salad. Everything was seasoned to perfection, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. At one point, we had to provide to-go boxes because so many guests wanted to take the food home! What really set Chef David apart, though, was how he went above and beyond throughout the entire event. In addition to preparing the food, he agreed to cut our wedding cake and serve coffee afterward—something that made a big difference and added such a personal touch. His attention to detail and the care his team took to ensure everything ran smoothly truly made our wedding day stress-free. If you want creative, delicious food paired with outstanding service, Chef David is the way to go. He not only met our expectations but exceeded them in every way. We couldn’t recommend him more!

      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!
