"We're particular about food, and an in-house caterer was not going to do the trick, so we reached out to one of our favorite New Orleans chefs, Michael Gulotta," Tess says. "His background spans elegant to casual—exactly what we were looking for. The food stations included steamed pork buns, a raw bar stocked with Gulf seafood and fish with braised greens," Tess says.
