An experience to remember
About Mardi Gras Made EZ
A celebration you’ll never forget. At Mardi Gras Made EZ, we don’t just show you Mardi Gras — we bring you into it, with a front-row seat to the traditions and excitement most visitors only dream about.
Our story
Led by locals. Delivered like royalty.
Founded by New Orleans native Matthew Tusch, Mardi Gras Made EZ was created to take the guesswork, hassle and tourist traps out of Carnival season.
We sell bucket-list experiences: the parade ride you didn’t know was possible, the balcony above the crowd, the ball the public can’t get into.
Customized Carnival packages
Tailored to you. Never cookie-cutter.
Every experience is planned around your group size, preferences and desired vibe. Want to ride in a parade? Toast from a semi-private Bourbon Street balcony? Dance the night away at a VIP ball? We make it happen — all of it — and we make it EZ.
Bourbon Street Balcony Parties
Rise above the chaos on a semi-private balcony — open bar, New Orleans bites and beads for the crowd below.
VIP Balls & After-Parties
Front-row parades, headline concerts and invitation-only balls — with a table waiting for your group.
Nighttime Swamp Tours
Slow the pace under the moon — a guided bayou escape with round-trip transportation from your hotel.
