Amazing service and value

From the first time we met, Carrie Ann and the team at Elysian Events and Catering has been helpful, professional and accommodating. They have wonderful food and beverage package options. The food and beverage service delighted our bride and groom and all of our guests. We were having a destination wedding and were able to give everyone a real taste of New Orleans. In addition, the team made my daughter's vision for the beignet dessert bar come to life beautifully! Thank you for making dreams come true, for amazing value and wonderful service.

Can't recommend enough!

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!

Amazing food, drinks, and service

The Elysian Events team was absolutely fantastic from the first contact, to the tasting, to the wedding reception. We got so many compliments on the food and drinks but even more compliments on how kind and helpful the Elysian staff was. We are so thankful that we had Elysian cater and provide bar services for our wedding!
