Elysian Events Catering

Delicious local fare! Excellent, thoughtful staff. I work with Elysian Events Catering whenever the opportunity arises.

Carrie, Jen and the rest of the Elysian Events team were so wonderful to work with. They answered my request promptly, were upfront with their pricing, and did a wonderful job setting up, shucking oysters and cleaning up after my 40th party. The food was phenomenal! I would hire them again in a heartbeat! Amazing team!!!!

Great product (raw and char oysters)!
Great presentation!
Fantastic service!!!
Didn’t leave a trace behind.
Will use them again for sure.

I can’t rave enough about Elysian Events! They catered and bartended a company happy hour for us at an employees house and they truly made the experience a breeze. I coordinated with Carrie Ann from states away and she was communicative the entire time, not only making sure we were good to go with menu options and bar choices, but reassuring me that our employees with dietary restrictions would be taken care of. The day of the event was a breeze, they were able to bring their own equipment and tables, which made our life much easier! When we arrived, the set up was beautiful, the food was yummy, and the drinks were so good! They get 5 stars from top to bottom - I would highly recommend them!

Elysian was incredible! It feels pretty cool to say the best wedding food I’ve ever had was at my own wedding! Every single bite was immaculate & our guests couldn’t stop raving. We got married in NOLA because of how big of foodies my partner and I are and it was the best decision we’ve ever made. We wish we could’ve taken some back with us to Denver!!! Thank you for everything!!!

Elysian Catering is spectacular!!! Great interesting food that tastes beyond the best! Service terrific too. For a party you get to visit with friends instead of working! Hire them!

Not sure where to start. Everyone was extremely nice and very professional. They brought their own equipment- all they needed was our stove. We thought we had everything spotless before they came, but the kitchen and party area were even tidier when they departed. Obviously should also mention that the food was fantastic and was chosen from an easily accessible and diverse list of options. We rarely do catered things at our house, but the next time we do I wouldn't call anyone else.

A great catering company, with great people! I reached out to Carrie Ann to book a tasting for my wedding reception. Even in the midst of the super-bowl, scheduling was a breeze and they were very responsive to email communication. Their food is fantastic and they are eager to meet the needs of clients! They were very flexible and patient with my fiancé and I. I highly recommend their services.

Elysian was amazing to work with for our wedding! The communication was easy and they were so accommodating setting up a tasting for us even though we were out of state. The food was amazing, everything from apps all the way to the beignet bar at the end of the night! Our guests are still raving about the food!

I had a wonderful experience working with Carrie Ann and Jen for my Halloween-themed anniversary party. They were open to collaboration and had creative ideas. The food was outstanding, too! They made planning my party extremely easy and I hope to host more parties in the future so I can hire them again.

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 had a wonderful experience with Elysian Catering. I’ve truly never had such a flawless party thanks to their detailed planning and preparation. We hosted a 70 person Welcome Drinks wedding party at our house and they provided appetizers and a lovely cocktail bar as well as an oyster bar which was a huge hit. Everything was delicious and they even left our kitchen spotless at the end of the night. I highly recommend their services and hope we can use them again in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed having Elysian as the caterer for our wedding. They handled everything from passed appetizers during cocktail hour, a full buffet dinner, to late-night beignets. All of our guests raved about the food and love have the Southern flare of po boys and shrimp and grits in a wedding setting. Elysian also provided our bartenders and drink mixer package. The hardest part of having Elysian as a vendor was selecting which items to serve from their fantastic menu options, we highly recommend them!

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 and making sure we had a stand for the cake.

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!

Amazing food, great service from start of the booking to finishing the event. We booked them for a wedding and the guests continue to talk about both the hors d’oeuvres and main entrees, especially the pork grillades and grits. They even helped cut our cake! Highly recommend
