Discover the unexpected side of Copeland's as Caitynn Traylor, Catering Banquet Sales Manager, reveals how this Louisiana institution is transforming the local event scene with their newly acquired caterer liquor license.
"We catered Thanksgiving for Amazon last year and it was over 2,000 people," Caitlynn shares, highlighting the impressive scale of operations this family-owned restaurant can handle. Many are surprised to learn that Copeland's, despite having seven locations, remains deeply rooted in Louisiana culture and family ownership. Founded over four decades ago by Al Copeland Senior and now run by his son, the restaurant combines the reliability of an established brand with the personalized touch of a local business.
Caitlynn brings over 15 years of industry experience to her role, having worked her way up from TGI Fridays to managing Copeland's extensive catering operation. Her passion for exceptional service shines through when she discusses their approach: "It does not matter if I'm only doing a 10-person birthday party or 200-person wedding. I'm going to show the same attention to detail and care to every single event." This dedication to quality extends to their beverage program too, where even mocktails like their popular blueberry lemon drop become the talk of the event.
What makes Copeland's catering special goes beyond food and drink—it's about creating community connections. As Caitlynn puts it, "We need some camaraderie and love," and through their events, they're helping bring people together across Shreveport. Whether you're planning an office lunch, wedding reception, or corporate gala, reach out to Caitlynn and experience how Copeland's can elevate your next gathering with their custom menus, expert bartending, and true Louisiana hospitality.
