Why Full-Service Corporate Catering Saves Time and Headaches

Planning a corporate event in New Orleans? Let’s face it—feeding a crowd isn’t just about food. It’s about logistics, timing, setup, and clean-up. Now multiply that by dozens or even hundreds of attendees. Stressful already, isn’t it?

At The Four Columns, we’ve seen it all. From intimate boardroom breakfasts to 800-guest Mardi Gras galas, one thing remains true: choosing a full-service corporate catering service is the smartest move you can make. Why? Because it turns chaos into confidence—and a headache into applause.

Full-Service Means One Vendor, Endless Convenience

When you go full-service, you’re not just hiring someone to bring food. You’re hiring a partner who handles:

• The kitchen
• The timing
• The servers
• The setup and presentation
• The cleanup

No running to find chafing fuel. No juggling multiple vendors. Just one point of contact from start to finish.

At The Four Columns, we’re more than caterers. We’re planners, doers, and lifesavers when it comes to event meal planning. From breakfast buffets to black-tie dinners, our staff ensures that every moment of your event runs on schedule—and on taste.

Time-Saving Catering That Lets You Focus on What Matters

Your time is better spent with clients and colleagues—not checking if the food’s warm or if the drinks need refilling.

With time-saving catering, you stay out of the kitchen and in the conversation. Our team brings the experience, staffing, and prep required to keep your event flowing. We’ll arrive early, set everything up just the way you want it, and stay on-site to manage every detail while you handle business or enjoy the party.

Custom Menus That Fit the Tone of Your Event

Not every event needs steak and seafood—though we do both quite well. Sometimes, it’s gumbo and cornbread that win hearts. Other times, it’s light hors d’oeuvres and a crisp salad.

That’s where The Four Columns stands out. We tailor every menu to match:

• Your event goals
• Your team’s preferences
• Your guests’ dietary needs

Whether you’re going traditional Cajun or want an Italian twist, we’ll craft a menu that complements the tone of your event—and keeps everyone full and focused.

Impress Your Guests with Flawless Execution

No more awkward buffet lines or lukewarm entrees. A full-service team ensures everything looks and tastes as good as it should.

From uniformed servers and elegant table setups to efficient breakdowns and cleanup, our team is trained to impress. At The Four Columns, we know that every detail matters—and every plate is a reflection of your brand.
