Why Brunch is the Sweet Spot for Morning Events
People are skipping the formality of dinner parties and leaning into the golden hours—brunch. It’s not just trendy, it’s practical. Guests arrive fresh, energy is high, and let’s be honest—there’s something magical about waffles sharing the table with shrimp and grits.
At The Four Columns, we’ve seen brunch become the go-to choice for weddings, showers, corporate functions, and family celebrations. Why? Morning events offer flexibility with timing, cost, and vibe. Plus, they wrap up early enough for your guests to enjoy the rest of their day.
If you’re wondering whether brunch catering is the right fit for your event, here’s why more hosts are choosing it—and why your guests will love it.
Brunch Done the New Orleans Way
Forget the basic buffet line. At The Four Columns, brunch catering means bold flavors and thoughtful presentation—because your event deserves more than average.
Picture this: Cajun Crab Cakes with a golden crisp, Shrimp and Grits layered with creamy goodness and the perfect touch of spice, and fresh Beignets dusted with powdered sugar. Add in bottomless coffee, fresh fruit displays, and our signature Cajun-style omelets, and you’ve got a spread guests will remember.
Whether you’re hosting in one of our elegant ballrooms or bringing the celebration to your home or office, our team delivers restaurant-quality dishes with the hospitality you’d expect from a family-run business.
Perfect Occasions for Brunch Catering
Still wondering if brunch fits your event? Here’s where this style of catering truly shines:
- Wedding Day Kickoffs: Treat your wedding party and family to an elegant pre-ceremony meal.
- Baby Showers and Bridal Showers: Light, cheerful, and full of personality.
- Corporate Breakfasts: Impress your team and clients with more than just bagels.
- Post-Church Receptions: A warm meal that feels like home.

Our team works closely with you to customize the menu, setup, and service style—so everything feels right for the tone of your gathering.
