Ellie is simply the BEST!! I found EZ Events Catering through the Knot’s website. From that first phone call, it was clear that Ellie’s drive and energy were exactly what I needed for my wedding planner. I had a destination wedding in Covington, LA and I live in Houston, TX. Most of our guests were coming from out of the country, so there was a lot of coordination that needed to happen. Ellie made all the long-distance planning feel like teamwork at all points. She helped me with the reception site option and even catered our rehearsal dinner. Her food is AMAZING by the way! She went above and beyond throughout the process to try to coordinate everything to the last detail. If you’re looking for a wedding planner/caterer/miracle worker Ellie and her team are definitely the way to go!

My husband and I contracted with ez events catering to cater our wedding this past October 5, 2024. This was inarguably the best decision we could've made. From the very start, they were communicative and great about answering our questions. Ellie, our primary contact, was in touch with us frequently to help us navigate everything from creating a timeline for the day to creating a floor plan for the tables and everything in between. The real show stopper beyond the incredible customer service was the food. I felt very strongly that we needed the food served at our wedding to be excellent, and Ellie and the the team at ez events catering exceeded that expectation. The hors d'oeuvres and charcuterie display were phenomenal, the main courses were delicious, and the dessert shooters were also excellent, in addition to being a fun way to supplement the traditional wedding cake. They were also able to accommodate food allergies and dietary preferences with ease. Everyone at easy events catering was kind and lovely to work with. We absolutely cannot recommend them-- or the Primavera ravioli-- enough!!

Incredible wedding service
We cannot recommend Ez events Catering enough after their incredible service at our wedding. From the start,Ellie was so helpful, patient and professional during the year long planning process. She was always responsive and thorough, never missing a detail. We wanted a menu that represented us, and after many, many emails and phone calls, we were able to create the perfect stationed dinner and cocktail hour menus. Ellie and the cooks provided an excellent tasting to make sure we liked every part of our menu. The entire team was great, and provided such wonderful service. We even kept hearing such positive reviews from our coordinator and venue that they were such a great vendor to work with. I would highly recommend this company, you will be in great hands with them!

Ellie and her team at Events Catering made my dream wedding a reality. From the first call, it was clear to me that Ellie s a skilled professional that genuinely cares about her clients. I set out to have a wedding with not only great food, but food that everyone - no matter their dietary restriction - could enjoy. Ellie blew me away with a perfectly balanced menu that checked all of the boxes. She came to the table with creative ways to tie together various dishes and cuisines, even including drink ideas to round out the experience. Guests raved about the food, insisting it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. To give credit where it is deserved, not only was the food excellent, but the presentation was beautiful. From the cutest tacos to noodles in classic (& classy) take-out containers, each bite of food was a 10/10. On top of all of Ellie’s help with the menu, she also offers a day of coordination service that serves as the icing on the cake. Our day of coordinator helped create a logical flowing timeline, offered creative solutions to all questions, and had seemingly infinite tricks up her sleeve for even the littlest snags on the day of the wedding. Ellie has built a great team - from herself to her managers and her catering staff - that are all warm and incredibly helpful people. I will be looking out for any opportunity to use & recommend Events Catering for any future event.

cannot thank ez events Catering enough!!! Ellie was so incredible to work with. She is very prompt at getting back to you and is so amazing at her job. She knew exactly what she was doing and made sure everything was the way I wanted it to be. We had to change our venue and the whole schedule around at the last minute, and thanks to Ellie i we were able to find a new venue available for us. She was so helpful and made sure my day was perfect. The servers at my wedding were absolutely wonderful and professional, they went above and beyond and made sure everyone was okay and were so quick to clean up and get things out of the way. And not to mention the food was outstanding!!! All of our guests kept saying how great the food was and how nice the servers were. I would highly recommend them, they do not disappoint!! Thank you again for everything you did for us and for making our day so special

EZ EVENTS CATERING was amazing! Throughout the entire planning process, the team was in constant communication with us. My husband & I had so many questions and requests leading up to the wedding, and the ENTIRE team would respond that day, happy to help. It was such a great experience. And the food! It was all DELICIOUS, I’ve heard from many guests how great the food was. Also, they’re bar tenders are awesome, they had a bunch of the signature drinks ready to go for people right when the ceremony ended, and throughout the night they were making some of the best drinks I’ve had. Overall, amazing experience and I’m so happy they catered my wedding!

EZ Events is a breeze to deal with and Ellie is pure joy. I needed to throw a surprise birthday party and they have the perfect space! With a great menu to pick from, the food was all delicious. The beautiful bar offered a customized drink menu, including signature drinks just for us!!! The party room is ready for any event. All I had to bring was the birthday cake. The amazing staff was one step ahead of anything we needed. Ellie was fabulous and personable. She understood my vision and made sure everything was just right. I can only imagine how perfect they would be for a rehearsal dinner or wedding. Reach out to EZ Events Catering and she will take care of you!

EZ EVENTS WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! We contacted and hired Ez Event Catering two months before the pandemic. We had to postpone our wedding date twice, probably like many of you had to. We were having a destination wedding where we live out of Louisiana so we had 85 guests that we’re going to be flying in with us as well. We finally were able to have our wedding in May of 2022. Boy did they deliver. I was surprised that every time we contacted her she remembered all the details that we wanted. We had the best, unforgettable, delicious and amazing service. She customized our menu with a New Orleans theme and flair. Her staff was so courteous, kind and accommodating. We were a little bit nervous because one of our dessert options that we featured was doing beignets. She actually fried them and made the dough there. She guaranteed that everything would be like the way it should be cleaned, things put away Etc. she delivered on that as well the whole staff had everything in tiptop shape and they were fabulous everything was fabulous our mouth is still watering fuck our beef tenderloin. It was worth the wait to have the best wedding ever. I recommend this catering company. They are phenomenal!

We had our wedding in August of 2022 . Well to my surprise and luck ez events catering was not booked! I couldn't believe how helpful Ellie was... She told us that we needed to pick a package and she would customize the menu !!1 She even added gluten free and vegan options for our guest!!! It was absolutely delicious. We rented her venue for the rehearsal dinner. Another amazing meal. We also used her day of SERVICES !!! GREAT STAFF!! Servicers and bartenders ,,,, She recommended a photographer, DJ and florist !!!!
THE BEST THING WE DID WAS HIRE THIS COMPANY !!!
THEY ARE a one stop shop !!! BEST EXPERIENCE !!!!!!!

Excellent Service! Amazing Food!
I called EZ Events Catering on a Sunday! I left a message but I didn't really expect anyone to get back with me until Monday. Ellie (the owner) called me back almost immediately! She was so excited and eager to help me. I was a little nervous because the event was the following Tuesday and I needed to feed 100 seniors, but that was not an issue at all! We discussed the menu and budget and finalize everything the same day. Ellie kept in touch with me via text and calls. Tori delivered the food at the agreed on time and EVERYTHING was absolutely PERFECT! I am calling them by their names as if I've known them forever but they are definitely amazing people that I will Never forget.

Look lol I coordinated the majority of our wedding myself. I’m an unorganized mess. Ellie walked me through this whole process over the course of severallll months and everything I threw at her, she handled like a champ!
Plus my guests LOVED our 100% gluten free menu. I highly recommend the flank steak and truffle mac lol
Ellie has a huge personality. She’s so warm. I went through a lot of catering places before I found EZ. They all made me feel kinda dumb honestly. But she put me at ease took so much care of me and my now hubby!

Ellie and her team were top notch! I couldn’t have asked for better staff and food! We had a tasting about 2 months out. Food was delicious! But the food for the actual wedding was even better! The seared tenderloin is the best I have ever had and all the guests raved about the catfish as well. So much flavor in the dishes. Ellie and her team were part of the family they danced with us and felt like we had known them forever! Each one of her staff were courteous and helpful! They delivered and more!!! Would recommend for any wedding or occasion!

My spouse and I had an incredible experience with EZ Events & Catering. We found the catering option first and it was a no-brainer with the packages they offer. We were so pleased with how our Cajun Brunch menu turned out! Further, when we hired Ellie to be our Day-Of Coordinator, it was the best decision we made. Having someone so connected to our entire planning process was so helpful for multiple reasons. My wife and I are not LA natives and currently reside in Philadelphia, PA. Therefore, when COVID hit in March, Ellie really stepped up to help us through the various New Orleans questions as we were not able to make it to New Orleans prior to the wedding. Ellie also guided us through the tough decisions we had to make keeping our original date for our wedding in August. We would recommend EZ Events & Catering to anyone as the team felt more like family than business partners. If you want someone by your side from start to finish, Ellie Zarraga-Mullins is your only option.

I cannot express how grateful I am that I was apart of y’all memorable event .

I also wanted to say thank you both for the sweet gift. It was so unexpected but truly appreciated. I Love it and I am carrying it with me on all of my current projects & it will go with me on all future ones as well ..
I’m so grateful that we have built a friendship and cannot wait until we work together again !
So for your next event in New Orleans , Philadelphia or wherever you ladies may be don’t forget to hire me again sincerely ,
