Caterers near Harahan

“Beautiful venue, great food, staff was friendly“

“Amazing that they were even open with the busted water pipe issues in the parish, but they were, and the food was fabulous. I had the eggplant stack and would order it again and again. It was so good, and the smell had my entire office drooling.“

“We had our sons engagement party here, it was one of the best memories they have. Bill and his staff went above and beyond to make this a special event for us. Wow, is the place beautiful and the food was delicious. I would recommend Courtyard on the ridge for any party, wedding or special event anyone has. If you want top notch service and beautiful Nola atmosphere go visit here before going anywhere else. We had a blast, thanks again! Shawn and Dawnell“

“Another great company crawfish boil last weekend. Bill and his team brought their mobile equipment out and did an outstanding job with the boil, not to mention buodin balls, fried fish and shimp pasta! Always delicious and always go out of their way -- even with the threat of rain. Call Bill for all of your special events and catering.“

“My planning company recently had the opportunity to work with the Elysian Catering team for a cocktail-style wedding reception at Race & Religious in New Orleans, and I couldn't speak more highly of their professionalism and ability to go above and beyond for their clients. Despite being in the thick of Wedding Season, Amelia and Jen were always just an email- or phone call- away. They were patient, professional, and helpful. On Wedding Day, the team was prompt, efficient, and put out a beautiful (and delicious!) buffet spread, along with passed apps, oysters, and bar service. Be kind to your catering and vendor teams- they're working so hard for you behind the scenes- Elysian is proof of that!“

“We went there on the afternoon of 2/3/24. Mom had been wanting to try it and I actually thought they were closed on Saturdays but we drove by just in case and found them to be open. Atmosphere is, eh. There were no lemons for the sweet tea and they ran out of regular fries for my order so I had to substitute with sweet potato fries. But the burger made up for anything that might have been lacking. That burger was so flavorful and hot and juicy! One of THE best burgers I've had in a long time! It tasted like something I would have made at home. I really appreciated how good it was. And the sweet potato fries were piping hot! I'd go again.“

“I stumbled upon this food truck in September ‘23. I had to go through my credit card statements to find the name. The food was incredible, the portions were huge, and the price, felt like I was fleecing them. A slab and a half of ribs, sausage rice, French fries, a roll, and a can soda for $15.01. Back home here in NC, you’d have to at least double that price!“

“We had messina’s catering for our destination wedding in New Orleans. The staff was very attentive and kind. I had planned this event mostly with Kaya, who was wonderful. The staff had food for us at the sweetheart table ready to go, and made SURE we both ate (which is hard to do at a wedding reception). They also did a marvelous job at customizing most of our dishes to be GF, and you literally could not tell at all ( if you know, you know). Everything was divine. And the staff was so, so sweet. 10/10 highly recommend. Thanks so much for everything. It was delicious. -Sarah ( October 28th 2023 bride)“

“Best king cake. Especially, cream cheese filled.“

“Eaten here several times and I keep coming back because everything is delicious. Staff is friendly and happy to explain the cuisine to the unfamiliar. Price is right too.“
