In a city known for jazz, parades, and a touch of the supernatural, it’s no surprise that tarot readers, tea leaf interpreters, and psychic mediums are becoming the must-have entertainment for weddings, corporate parties, and private celebrations. In fact, here at The Howlin’ Wolf, we’ve seen this unique add-on light up events in ways few others can match.
A Match Made in New Orleans Magic
New Orleans has always embraced its mystical side—from the French Quarter’s palm readers to the historic influence of voodoo culture. Bringing a psychic experience into your event taps into that rich heritage, offering guests an authentic taste of the city’s mystery and charm.

Why Guests Love It
It’s Personal — While a band or photo booth entertains the crowd, a psychic reading gives each guest a one-on-one, deeply engaging moment they’ll remember.
It’s Interactive — Guests don’t just watch; they participate, ask questions, and walk away with something unique—whether it’s a thought-provoking prediction or a good laugh.
It’s Conversation-Starting — Nothing fuels a cocktail-hour chat like “You’ll never guess what my tarot card said…”
It Feels Exclusive — A psychic booth becomes an intimate escape inside the larger celebration, creating a sense of discovery.
Perfect for Weddings
At weddings, psychic readings offer a whimsical counterpoint to the romance of the day. Couples often request love-focused readings, inviting guests to learn about their own romantic fortunes while celebrating the newlyweds. It’s playful, heartfelt, and perfectly in tune with New Orleans’ spirit of celebration.
How The Howlin’ Wolf Does It
We’ve curated a network of professional, crowd-friendly tarot readers, palmists, and tea-leaf interpreters who know how to balance mystique with approachability. Set up a dedicated reading corner draped in velvet, light it with candles or soft stage lighting, and you’ve instantly created an atmospheric focal point for your event.
The Extra That Stands Out
In a world where guests have seen a hundred photo booths and candy tables, psychic readings stand out as something unexpected—and delightfully memorable. Whether it’s a wedding, a corporate gala, or a milestone birthday, adding a psychic station to your Howlin’ Wolf event guarantees you’ll give your guests a story to tell.
