Principals/Owners/Key Leadership Team

For over 40 years, Marie Hasney has been a tireless, graceful and fearless leader in the New Orleans culinary, convention and women's business community. Her catering expertise and dedication to excellence have been recognized by receipt of the Best Catered Event of the Year award from the National Association of Catering Executives, the International Supplier of the Year award from the New Orleans Chapter of Meeting Professionals and the Supplier of the Year Award from the Women’s Business Enterprise Council South.

Marie supports the local community by donating her special event expertise and catering services to countless charitable organizations each year. With a smile on her face and always a warm hug to greet, we wouldn't be surprised if we caught a glance of her back finished off with a superhero cape.

Executive Chef Molly McLaren has always loved food. After earning a bachelors degree from the University of Wisconsin, she decided the kitchen was where she wanted to be. She went on to Le Cordon Bleu Minneapolis/St. Paul for her Culinary Arts degree and worked as a server as her culinary skills developed. After graduation, she flourished as a line cook at Barrio Tequila Bar under James Beard award winning chef Tim McKee. Next, she thrived with one of the Twin Cities top catering companies, D'Amico Catering, helping to show that high end cuisine can be delivered by a catering company.

Making many trips to New Orleans to visit her father, Molly fell in love with our city, it's culture and cuisine. She joined Marie's Fleur de Lis Catering in 2013. She orchestrates upscale seated dinners for hundreds of people and directs well balanced menus for receptions, for as little as 200 and as many as 5,000 guests, with a level head and calm demeanor. She enjoys designing innovative menus for clients that are looking for something outside the box.

In her free time, Molly enjoys gardening, doing jigsaw puzzles and going to festivals. She loves watching sports and cheering on her Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin Badgers. You may even catch her rooting for the Saints and Pelicans on occasion.

When you see the last name Hasney, the word fearless should be right next to it! Lisa leads our off-site catering operations with precise organization and attention to detail, all with an exceptionally calm nature in the toughest of situations. She has overseen events from 40 - 5,000 guests. A life-long New Orleans resident and graduate of the University of New Orleans, Lisa brings an extensive background of logistics to our team and serves as a vital link to the success of our day-to-day operations. We could list all of her impressive past accomplishments and job experiences, however, none of that matches her current job experience of mastering the art of raising 2 daughters. Kaylee is in 8th grade and will be attending St. Martin's in the fall, while Annie, who works with us when she is home, will be returning to Springhill for her sophomore year in August.
