NOLA Girl is wonderful! We were planning a small graduation party at my daughter's apartment and…read moreNOLA Girl took all the stress out of catering. All of the dishes were delicious but I particularly recommend the Crab Cakes and the Shrimp & Chicken Etouffee. I had initially thought about catering the party myself but NOLA Girl's cooking is better than mine and has genuine cajun flair and flavor. Costs are competitive relative to the other caterers we considered; communication was excellent and food delivery was very prompt. Finally, the dishes are generously sized and we loved the left-overs! THANK YOU!

If for any reason Jazzfest doesn't happen again please please please continue this tradition! Love it!!

GOSH where to begin. I am sorry to say I had high hopes for them. We were suggested this caterer…read moreby our Venue Race and Religious. They hold a very high standard so thought this would be something thats a no brainer. I talked to a few other caterers and we like Aaron (our sales person) he was personable and responsive. We came into town and did our tasting and he took us for a drink. I should have known at our tasting. My food standards are high as well as service and the food was MEH. But at this point I was in it! People always say wedding food is does not have as high of standards as fine dining restaurant but it sure cost us the same. Aaron told us we had "more than enough food" and our price per head was not cheap. Aaron also told us he does not go to weddings but would come by ours (He never came, never let us know and he told us one things and our wedding planner told us another why he did not show up). The day of the wedding everything went south. There were SO many issues but will highlight a few of them as I am sure there were more I was not told or did not find out about. They ran out of CUPS, soda water (yes soda water) our wedding was only 70 people on the guest list. the last table they ran out of food for (they did not make enough food or all the items we ordered, veggies, rollos, shrimp and grits and so on), they did not have all the items they were supposed to for the bar. To top it off one of their staff sold beer to one of our guests at the end of the wedding (beer we had already paid for) and pocketed a few hundred bucks from a intoxicated guest. This is a shame. Aaron lacked much follow through on this after the wedding and one of the other bosses there gave me a 15% reimbursement. Honestly I would never use them again and feel so upset this went down the way it did. We have guests as our wedding that did not get all the items we had selected when we were supposed to have tons of food. How do you run out of items like cups and soda water at a bar for a 70 person wedding?
