Elysian Events Catering

We worked with Jen from Elysian Events to cater lunch for our conference and the entire experience was stellar. Jen was able to recommend dishes that would give our guests the true NOLA experience, she was very thoghtful and great about quick responses and communicating throughtout the planning process. The food was top tier and all of our event attendees loved the wide variety and top quality of everything. Could not recommend Jen and Elysian Events enough. They were 5 Stars all the way!

We hosted a Tulane graduation party with a raw bar and cocktail bar. Jen’s team did a wonderful job and we couldn’t have been happier with the result. Recommend Elysian for anyone hosting a party in New Orleans; easy team to work with.

Beignets and Bouquets had the pleasure of working with Elysian Catering for our clients’ wedding, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience. Carrie Ann and Jen were absolute superstars — they truly rocked it from start to finish! Their team was collaborative, easy to work with, and so open to creative ideas throughout the planning process. The food was absolutely delicious, the presentation was gorgeous, and the level of service on the wedding day was outstanding. They helped make everything feel seamless for both the vendor team and our clients, which is something we deeply value as planners. We would happily work with them again and highly recommend Elysian Catering!

This past weekend, my wife and I had our destination wedding in New Orleans, and we had to travel over 14 hours to get there. The entire experience with the catering company we hired was an absolute nightmare. When we told them a month in advance we were driving to pick up our wedding dress and wanted to schedule a tasting we were told only do tasting on Monday Tuesday and Wednesdays, and refused to even work with us on tasting anything which I wish we could have tasted it before hand to pick other options! When our wedding venue told them they could not use their tables, they made us rent a oven and tables for them, this is a catering company build your business to meet every venue. We paid for enough food for 85 guests, only 60 arrived, we had our ceremony and came straight into the dining hall the food was out for our guests. the wedding party stepped outside for photos and came inside and at 830 all the food was gone!! the wedding was scheduled untill 10pm!! Our photographer and 1 of the groomsmen didnt even get a plate, the only reason the bride got a plate was because I made her one before the photos! Our wedding party had to run outside and demand our food back and was told, "I guess we can scrape the bottom of the pan" to feed the photographer, how is the food gone in a hour with 25 less people showing up and more than 10 of them were young children!. We had to rush to cut the cake because they were trying to drive off and had to beg for the utensils that they picked up. HIGHLY upset with our experience with this company and very surprised to see a 5 star rating

Highly highly recommend! My husband and I had Elysian cater for our wedding reception in October 2025 and still receive compliments of how delicious the food was today. Even while cooking for a big group of people, the spice and seasoning were perfect. I still think about their beef and pasta dish and jalapeño cornbread. Their customer service was excellent as well. Wishing I could relive that night to try some of the foods again. Thank yall again!
