New Orleans Wedding Catering
Professional Boutique Raw Bar Services
Rougarou Shuckers provides specialized New Orleans wedding catering designed for cocktail hours and receptions of any size. Whether you are planning an elegant black-tie gala, a casual backyard reception, or a rustic barn wedding, our service is designed to adapt seamlessly to the specific atmosphere of your celebration.
We offer a founder-led, boutique alternative to high-volume catering defined by artisanal craft, Gulf South favorites, nationwide sourcing, and logistical independence.
Founder-Led New Orleans Wedding Catering Services
We believe that the best New Orleans wedding catering requires direct owner accountability. Unlike large-scale staffing agencies, every Rougarou Shuckers event is executed by the founders, Clayton and Shahi.
Owner-Operated Quality: Because the founders are on-site, every oyster is hand-selected and personally inspected.
Professional Standards: We ensure perfect hinge shucks, liquor preservation, and a pristine presentation for every guest.
Expert Engagement: We act as culinary guides, providing your guests with technical knowledge on the origins and flavor profiles of our catch.
Nationwide Sourcing for New Orleans Wedding Catering
Our boutique model allows us to curate a menu that represents the best coastlines in North America. We provide New Orleans wedding catering that features a diverse "Tasting Flight" of oysters.
Boutique Gulf Shells: We partner with specialized local harvesters who use off-bottom basket methods for a meaty, savory texture.
West Coast Varieties: We source legendary Kumamoto oysters known for their sweet, buttery flavor and honeydew finish.
East Coast Classics: We provide iconic shells like Island Creek oysters, celebrated for their complex brine and mineral finish.
North Atlantic Catch: We specialize in PEI and cold-water shells that offer the high salinity required for the NOLA climate.
Logistical Solutions for New Orleans Wedding Catering
We specialize in the logistical mastery required for historic NOLA properties. Our service is engineered to be the most low-friction element of New Orleans wedding catering.
Zero-Infrastructure Requirements
Utility Independence: We require zero electricity, water, or kitchen access from your venue.
Self-Sustained Setup: Our stations are entirely self-contained, allowing us to setup in areas where traditional catering is impossible.
Historic Venue Compatibility
Narrow Access Mastery: Our mobile stations easily navigate French Quarter courtyards and Garden District mansion entries. We love a beautiful courtyard!
Minimal Footprint: We integrate seamlessly into Warehouse District lofts and residential spaces without disrupting the event flow.
