Tasting passion in each dish served!

Jacques-Imos was the first vendor we secured for our wedding day. We had gone to the restaurant a handful of times, and knew this would be our caterer when we got married. We chose New Orleans as our destination city, and wanted our guests to fall in love, and be treated to traditional 'Nawlins cuisine.
Monique the catering manager was more than helpful when picking the menu and offering suggestions, and answering numerous questions posed to her with rapid response. She was never too busy to schedule a call or to try and work with our budget.
On our wedding day, the catering staff was super interactive with our guests, explaining the cuisine, making conversation, and consistently one step ahead with replenishing our buffet. It was repeatedly said, not only how incredible the food quality was, but, how stellar the service was that night. You can see how Monique's staff has experience, how much they love their work, and how customer driven they are.
The best decision we made was to have Jacques-Imos as our caterer!

Great Choice!

If you are looking to showcase traditional New Orleans soul food for your wedding or event, look no further. Jacques Imos has all the dishes you're looking for and then some. They also have very yummy vegetarian dishes and salads to accommodate all palates. Monique was wonderful to work with and they didn't break the bank! Still getting compliments from our guests months later. Thanks Jacque Imos!

People still talk about the food!

Jacque Imo's was an amazing wedding caterer! Monique was very communicative and really helped us through each step of the process. People still rave about our wedding food. The Chicken Tasso Pasta was to-die for! 100/10 would recommend!

Thank you!

All of our guests said how awesome the food was! Everything was delicious and gave our guests a true taste of New Orleans! We had passed hors ’derves, cheese and fruit, a good variety of entrees and sides for the buffet. Thanks for everything.

Stupendous, top to bottom!

The restaurant was already known to us. Monique, however, was not. She was great to work with, starting with a tasting so that we could set our menu, and ending with an outstanding crew she oversaw at our reception that was hard working, friendly, and who served such fantastic food!

Food all our guests still talk about.

Monique with Jacques-Imo's was really wonderful not just to work with, but to talk with. She had so much experience and was patient with us asking beginner questions, requesting minor exceptions for our family members, and modifying the menu several times. She brought us food in the Green Room before the reception kicked off and boxed up generous bags of leftovers for us to take home afterwards (and it reheated after we froze it shockingly well). But my favorite part, besides getting to work with Monique, was how much people have talked about the food after the wedding. Our friend shared that as soon as they got upstairs, another friend said "f*** yeah, fried chicken, let's go!" and even my Midwestern mom, who thinks green peppers are too much spice, really enjoyed the maque choux and my dad inhaled everything. My stoic brother-in-law said he loved the food, and that to me was huge because he's not very outwardly enthusiastic about anything. It's accessible, authentic, crowd-pleasing dishes, and there's enough range that you can check off all the dietary restrictions your guests might have. We'll be seeing them again, on our anniversary!

Wonderful experience with Jacques Imos!

They had a delicious and versatile menu, especially loved the crabmeat ravigote, the fried chicken, and the shrimp pasta. They were extremely attentive and flexible on the front end and the execution was excellent as well! Even when there were issues the week and day of (the venue's ice machine was broken, wedding moved from outside to inside), Monique and her team handled everything like (calm and collected) professionals!

Best food in New Orleans

Jaques-imos worked with me diligently to make my wedding awesome. about a month ago I hired them and they took care of the food and bar and I am still hearing from my guest how they have not tasted anything better in New Orleans. They have tantalizing menu items to choose from and Monique was very helpful in figuring out the perfect amount of food/drink, and on the day of, the staff was very professional and punctual. I would hire Jaques-imos for any other catered event in my future, and I am already looking forward to my next visit to their restaurant on whatever occasion I can.

Could not possibly ask for more!

The easiest and best choice we made very early in our wedding planning was to book Jaques Imos for our catering. We've always loved Jaques Imos and were pleasantly surprised by how affordable they were. Not only was the food delicious (most people said it was the best wedding food they had ever had) but Monique is a super star and made the execution of the overall event a breeze. It's also a great option if you have a lot of out of town guests as it's iconic New Orleans and is sure to impress!

Beyond the food, Monique's staff were above and beyond amazing. If you are looking for event staff that are professional and FUN, they are the people. If you have the option I would recommend letting them staff your bar as well. People are still talking about how much they loved the bartenders at our wedding, something I had not even thought about but made all the difference the night of our wedding!

I can't imagine having any other caterer for our wedding.

Excellent food, professional and fun in every way. The perfect NOLA wedding caterer.

Jacques-Imo's did a fabulous job in every way catering our destination wedding in a non-traditional NOLA mansion wedding venue. Monique is a miracle worker, a pure joy to work with and makes everything come together seamlessly and professionally. All her staff was as professional as they come, did a perfect job, and were a delight to have at our wedding. The bartenders were fun, charismatic and did a GREAT job, and had some great dance moves, clearly enjoying themselves as much as all of our guests. Oh and the food: everything was top quality, delicious and perfect in every way. We had a great time at the event and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of working with Jacques-Imo's before, during and after. Thank you, Monique and Jacques-Imo's for being a major part of the dream wedding of a lifetime! We cannot recommend Jacques-Imo's more highly.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
