My House Events

Whether you are looking for a caterer or a coordinator, I’m happy to tell you you’ve found the best there is. You’ve done it! Your search ends here and I’ll tell you why. My House Events is a mission-based company focused on “uplifting chefs and creating meaningful opportunities for economic and creative growth” all with a spotlight on diversity and representation. I invite you to visit their website and read their full statement. It is this philosophy that drew us to them. My partner and I connected with them and had just one quick call with a representative who asked us what kind of food we were looking for and asked whether or not we’d like coordination assistance. We asked about month-of coordination and said we were looking for Cajun cuisine. A bit of a left field pick to be honest, so we thought maybe it would be hard to find. She knew immediately which Chef in their portfolio would be the best for the job. She connected with Chef Bri who came up with a perfect custom menu in only a couple days. After a budgeting conversation they were very receptive and went out of their way to make adjustments and offered varying options to stay within budget. What we landed on was exactly what we were looking for and fit perfectly within theme for what we wanted our day to be. After confirming the menu, we paid the deposit and then planned the tasting. At the tasting we met Simone, who was our day-of food service coordinator, and Chef Bri. Let me tell you, I’ve been saying it since the tasting and I will say it until the day I die. I would go to war for that woman and her cooking. The entire tasting and we had ZERO notes. Found out she was actually on Top Chef! Everything was perfect and delicious and it was maybe one of the aspects of the wedding we were looking forward to the most. Made all the better because it felt like we made a genuine connection with them both. They delivered in a major way. Come September we met Kaylene who handled our month-of coordination. She was incredible. When planning, I am a person who needs lists and deadlines and after explaining to her what my needs were, she lined up everything in a way that made planning very easy for me. It was helpful to lean on her for vendor communication and if I missed anything, she was very quick to help me stay on top of it and gave me every tool I could have asked for. On the day Michelle was our on-site contact. Both her and Simone were exceptionally detail oriented, talented, and kind. They made us feel like goddamn royalty. Knowing I would be taking photos after the ceremony, I asked them to make sure they save some fried mac & cheese for me from our past appetizers. A staff member brought me a whole tray and said “Chef Bre said this is just for you!” Not only did my guests talk about the food non-stop (They’re still taking about it a month later!), they also complemented the coordinator which I think happens much less often. Everyone was very impressed with her and that is the caliber you’re getting with My House Events. My only complaint is that the Cajun pasta was SO good that my guests completely cleaned it out of the buffet and there wasn’t any leftover for me to take home! They will find the best food and give you the best care and they will go out of your way to make your day or your event blow your expectations out of the water. The most special thing about them is the work that they do to elevate their team and the care they take to give you exactly what you dream.

Kaylene, Chelsea, Kelsey, and the My House Events team helped us plan and execute our 120-person wedding in New Orleans and everything was magical. They were great communicators, on top of all the details big and small, provided great recommendations (for vendors, rentals, flow of the event, and more), and helped us feel calm and present throughout the entire day of the wedding. They also knew our venue and vendors well, which made planning go quickly and smoothly. RECOMMEND!

I don’t know what to rave more about, the team or the food because both deserve every star there is.
My House went above and beyond our hopes, dreams and expectations. Barrie, Kaylene and Chef Sammy curated a fully custom catered lunch along with cocktail hors d'oeuvres that blew us and our guests away. 
We wanted a more eclectic wedding menu with some of our favorite cuisines. This also included some classic Persian dishes packaged in small unique appetizers which they delivered in flawless fashion. There was a little something for everyone!
On top of that they helped us with rentals and made sure everything ran smoothly and cleanly on the day. They even helped provide dietary options for every restriction, so our vegan, vegetarian and gluten free guests were able to enjoy delicious dishes. This was super important to us since we have so many people we love and care about that deserved something delectable and Chef Sammy nailed it all around! The food was one of the best parts of the entire day. My House made us feel heard, seen and were an absolute delight to work with from start to finish. They truly care and that was clear in their communication and their passion to deliver something special. On top of their stellar service they are a women-owned business that supports the LGBTQIA+ community both internally and externally!

Working with My House Events was an absolute dream. Kaylene and Chelsea's organization, open communication, and creativity exceeded all our expectations. They championed our vision every step of the way, allowing us to be completely present and enjoy our special day. The My House Events team truly brought their brilliance to the table, elevating our ideas and flawlessly executing them. Planning our wedding was exciting, but we hesitated to invest in the extra coordination. However, any concerns we had completely vanished. My House Events provided incredible care and support, keeping us focused on our vision for this special day while also respecting our need to manage other aspects of our lives. Working with Kaylene and Chelsea at My House Events was truly a miracle for us. Their unwavering support left us feeling incredibly grateful, not just for them, but for the entire warm and welcoming New Orleans community. As far as the bar and food we ordered through them, they were great. We finalized our menu remotely and without tastings, and we were incredibly impressed by the outstanding quality of the food -- our vision came to life thanks to Chef Nadia! Everything was absolutely delicious, and we received countless compliments from our guests who raved that it was the best wedding food they'd ever experienced. We couldn't agree more! Their bar service was professional, creative, and friendly. We also had a raw oyster bar that was a big hit - would recommend! Finally, without month-of and day-of coordination from Kaylene, Chelsea, and their team, I am pretty sure I would have died of stress (or annoyed my new spouse so much that we'd have to call it off). I can't recommend My House Events highly enough.

Everything was so seamless, from their proposal to our wedding day. I really have nothing but good to say about from when we officially booked them to my wedding day. They cater to your wants and needs and honestly worth the investment. One of the things that we wanted our guests to remember was our food and days following the wedding some of our guests were asking who catered our food and what services did we book. I would work with MyHouse again in the future! This wont be the last time I work with them and would refer anyone who is seeking a knowledgable and kind catering team! Just amazing.

My House Events catered two events for our wedding - a party at our house and the wedding ceremony. All of the food from Chef Nadia was delicious, ranging from hoeur d'oeuvres to sandwiches to plated food. Our guests especially enjoyed the tap truck, which served beer and other beverages directly from the truck. My House Events was very professional and handled the whole process very smoothly!

We LOVE My House Events. They catered our wedding and were the coordinator. Because of them our event was a complete success. We had a complex day, because it was an Indian-Louisiana fusion wedding. The menu was specifically crafted to our unique theme and brought together Louisiana and Indian food. We had two ceremonies and a reception with a second line for 200+ people all in one day, and Kaylene made sure everything went off without a hitch. Danielle, Kaylene, and Kelsey were all superstars and we honestly could not have been happier or asked for more. I’m seriously smiling just writing about them! Extremely high recommend from a very happy bride.
