We had the best experience with Messina's as our wedding caterer! Wedding planning is undoubtedly stressful, but Messina's made the whole process so much easier on us. Kaya was attentive and overall communication was great. The planning phase was seamless, from setting up our tasting to refining the menu to the big day. The chef and staff were all fantastic, and of course the food was delicious. Very reasonable pricing as well. Definitely would recommend Messina's for your wedding or any other event!

Logan and his team provided services for our company. The event was for approximately 750 people. With that size of a group, I did not expect what we received. The food was comparable to a Friday night up-class evening gown event downtown. The food was absolutely impeccable and made from scratch. We had significant sound issues at the venue, but Messina’s saved the day with the food. The service was seamless. The flow of the group and the timeliness of getting everyone fed was incredibly executed.
Messina’s will be at the top of my list for any and all catering events we host going forward.
Meals provided included: Breakfast for 750 Mid morning breakfast for 750 Lunch for 750 Afternoon snack for 200

Messina's is an absolute pleasure to work with. Their food is consistently delicious and enjoyed by all. Maggie and Anna are truly exceptional, going above and beyond throughout the entire process to ensure everything runs smoothly. I highly recommend Messina’s for your next event!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had my wedding at Rooftop on Basin, and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, Kaya, Edgardo, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make our day seamless and magical. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly made us feel special and stress-free.
The food was AMAZING—every bite was delicious, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. The venue itself is breathtaking, with stunning views that made for the most gorgeous backdrop to our celebration. It’s such a unique and romantic spot, and it was worth every penny.
If you’re considering hosting an event here, do it! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much, Rooftop on Basin, for making our wedding unforgettable. 💕

Food - excellent. Taste & quality superb. Food was on time and well organized. The guys dropping it off were very professional and friendly.
One big "knock" on this company is I feel I was QUITE "over-sold." It's clearly always good to have too much food so as not to run out, but having never planned a party for 100 people (which I mentioned), I had no idea what to order and in what quantities and I completely relied on the expertise of the sales person to help me figure all of that out. She was super nice and responsive, but honestly, we ended up with an EXCESSIVE amount of leftover food, (even though our guests had hearty appetites and ate a lot). I would be careful when ordering because we easily could have spent HALF the amount of money we did, and would have been thoroughly satisfied with the quantity. Again, the food was excellent, well presented and delicious. Was very disappointed in the amount of work I had to put in after the party to transport the excess food to various guest airbnb's so as not to waste what we bought. We ordered way too much. Again, having leftover food can't be avoided sometimes, but this was beyond "leftovers." It was pans and pans and pans of food we had to find homes for, and it was irresponsible of the sales person to suggest the quantity we ended up purchasing. We were completely over-sold and that's the only disappointment.

Picking The Rooftop on Basin for our intimate 50th Anniversary Brunch was the best decision we every made...besides getting married 50 years ago, of course!
The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere is second to none.
I had previously enjoyed much larger events at this venue so I wasn't sure if my 40 guests would be too small. Turned out to be absolutely perfect!
Thanks to Stacey Messina and her amazing team...Kaya, Nathan, the Chefs and wait staff for a truly memorable event in a gorgeous venue. They were all so helpful in so many ways.
Pour Toujours
This team is very professional and personable! They made our event a breeze and brought some insane food! Amazing to work with and amazing talents!

We loved working with Messina's for our event. They have a huge menu of options to choose from, great food, accomodating staff and made the event seamless for us to plan and enjoyable for our guests. Thank you!
The best New Orleans catering company! Perfect for all events, big or small.

Messina’s has catered and helped our family host a couple different events at our home. Their entire staff always goes above and beyond, making sure every hospitality detail is covered. Lauren Langenstein does an incredible job managing and executing our vision for each party, helping put together the menu, additional set-ups, decor etc and is always a phone call or email away. She makes hosting any event, easy and fun! Messina’s truly feels like family and I couldn’t recommend their entire staff more for your next event or party :)

I literally talked to 10+ caterers in NO to cater our wedding before I found Messina’s. All I can say is WOW! The food - DELICIOUS! Lauren - AMAZING! The staff was courteous, professional & simply wonderful! Most of our family & friends were coming from out of town & I wanted a true taste of New Orleans. I could not have expected better!!! Their service was flawless and easy to work with. They had not worked with our venue before but they arranged everything impeccably! Thank you Lauren & Messina’s for making our special day just a little more perfect!

Messina’s did a fabulous breakfast brunch for my granddaughter’s Bat Mitzvah brunch. The waffles, fried chicken and homemade biscuits were so delicious. The salmon tray was also amazing. The staff is top- notch. I would highly recommend this New Orleans gem of A caterer. Thanks Anna for all your hard work and wonderful suggestions!

It cannot get any better than this. Been traveling there for a few years now from Lake Charles and worth the drive. No worry about buying,, cooking and cleaning. All the food was delicious. Counting on going back next year.Thanks to all the chefs, staff, servers and everyone who made this a great Thanksgiving.
