Repast Services in New Orleans That Bring Comfort and Class

“Grief doesn’t follow a script. But comfort? That can be shared through food, space, and love.”

At The Four Columns, we understand that honoring a loved one is more than a tradition—it’s an act of care. That’s why our repast services in New Orleans are thoughtfully designed to ease the burden during one of life’s most difficult moments. We’re not just a venue. We’re your support team when you need it most.

A Space That Feels Like Home, Even When It Hurts

Losing someone is hard. Planning a gathering after the funeral shouldn’t add to that burden.

Our Charlet and Toscano rooms offer flexible, welcoming spaces for memorial receptions of any size—up to 600 standing guests or 400 seated. These aren’t cold banquet halls. They’re warm, elegant spaces where stories are shared, tears are understood, and comfort is plated with care.

Whether your family needs quiet intimacy or room for a large gathering, we’ll set the scene with dignity and respect.

Thoughtful Menus Made for Remembrance

Food has a unique way of bringing people together—it soothes, unites, and often sparks memories.

At The Four Columns, our funeral catering options reflect this understanding. Our repast menus are built around traditional comfort foods, Louisiana favorites, and cherished family-style service.

Menu Highlights Include:

• Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
• Seafood Okra Bisque
• Crabmeat Pasta Salad
• Shrimp Fettuccine
• Baked Chicken with Brown Sauce
• Classic Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce

Whether you choose one of our three-tiered repast menu packages or work with us on a custom selection, every dish is prepared with care—and served with heart.

Full-Service Funeral Catering That Lifts the Stress

You’re carrying enough emotionally—let us take care of the details.

We provide full-service funeral catering both on-site at our Harvey location and off-site across New Orleans and surrounding parishes. From finger sandwiches to full entrées, tea and coffee to desserts, we bring everything:

• Tables and linens
• Utensils and serving pieces
• Professional staff
• Full setup and cleanup

Planning last-minute? We’re ready to move quickly without sacrificing quality or care.

Personal Touches That Make a Difference

Every family is different. Some want soft piano music. Others prefer a slideshow or a quiet room with candlelight. Some choose champagne toasts, while others opt for understated comfort.

At The Four Columns, we help you personalize your memorial reception down to the last detail:

• Décor and floral arrangements
• Seating layout and room setup
• Audio and visual options
• Meal service style (buffet, plated, or family-style)

Because when you’re grieving, the last thing you should worry about is logistics.
