Messina’s Catering & Events is honored to be recognized by New Orleans CityBusiness as one of its 2026 Best Legacy Businesses, an award celebrating companies that have shown prolonged success, resilience and adaptability while making a longstanding impact on the local economy.
This year’s honorees include many of the region’s most respected and enduring organizations, such as Dickie Brennan’s, Ochsner Health, Adams and Reese, Rubinsteins and Gibbs Construction, among others. We are humbled to be recognized alongside businesses that have helped shape the economic and cultural fabric of New Orleans for decades.
For more than 60 years, Messina’s has been proud to serve the Greater New Orleans area through catering, hospitality, event venues and festival operations. Being included among this distinguished group is a testament to the dedication of our team, clients and community partners throughout the years.
Messina’s was also named a winner in the 2026 CityBusiness Reader Rankings in the Best Independent Caterer category, marking its 10th consecutive year of recognition from CityBusiness readers. Based on votes from the local business community, the Reader Rankings highlight the companies and services New Orleans-area professionals trust and recommend. Our venue, Messina’s at the Terminal, was also recognized as a winner in the Best Event & Meeting Facility category.
These awards are especially meaningful because they reflect both the trust of our clients and the support of the New Orleans business community. We are grateful to CityBusiness and its readers for this recognition and look forward to continuing our tradition of hospitality, innovation and service for years to come.
Congratulations to the other award recipients!
