Essentially - Kellie and the entire staff at Toulouse Gourmet are PHENOMENAL and some of the most amazing people you will ever work with...in your life...seriously. And on top of that the food is mouthwateringly amazing. I’ll start from the beginning - I reached out to Kellie and the staff at Toulouse Gourmet about a year before the wedding and started planning a menu with her. My fiancee and I are annoying - the food was the only thing that mattered to him and he was super super super picky.

Kellie worked with us for about 10 months to nail down a menu. Let me say that again - 9 months she dealt with our annoying, knit-picky, mind-changing, special request filled emails. She never got annoyed, she was patient and she totally worked with us and took into consideration every single thing we said to her. And the food was everything we could have dreamed it would be! Additionally - having Kellie around is like having another coordinator there - she thinks of everything, she troubleshoots and predicts any issues that might come up - she really is just a dream!

The food at the wedding was perfect, perfect, perfect. Let me tell you about each thing: The appetizers were delicious - fried chicken and waffles, shortrib grilled cheese, crawfish beignets and chicken cigars with peanut sauce dip. I saw people stalking the servers with the passed apps, and laying in wait around corners for the servers to exit with the apps. I am pretty sure at one point I saw someone with about 15 apps on their plate - and that was their second round.

There was also a grazing station that featured grilled vegetables, hummus and a Crawfish Monica dip. The following comments were made by separate guests Crawfish Monica dip: “I would take a bath in that dip if it were socially acceptable”; “I want to rub that dip all over my body” and “That was the most amazing thing I have ever eaten”

For the entrees (it was buffett style) there was a succulent pulled pork station, a beef bord

I recently had my reception at The Cannery and and the room was beautiful! The food was perfect and everyone raved about the flavor! I love that they have decor of their own to help with the ambiance. The restrooms were stocked with goodies and are just as pretty as the rest of the event space. My only con to the night was that 1, we didn't get our valet parking that was in our contract. & 2, they wanted us to breakdown and remove all of our decor immediately after the reception ended. This was a hassle mainly because they only gave us 30 minutes to have everything out. While we were in the middle of moving everything, they turned the lights off. Crazy. We had about 20 people helping with the breakdown and even that wasn't enough time for us to get everything. It was chaotic to say the least. I fee that for the cost, more time should be allowed to retrieve everything. Other than that, we had an amazing time and our attendant was always right by our side if we needed anything. Great space, great food and great workers! I would def recommend this venue!
