I hired Private Chef Events for an engagement party with 40-50 guests, and I couldn’t be happier with their service! The food was not only beautifully presented but also absolutely...
delicious, earning rave reviews from everyone. They worked seamlessly within my budget, accommodating specific food restrictions and even pleasing our very picky kid eaters with creative, kid-friendly options. Their ability to take my ideas and elevate them beyond my expectations was truly impressive, all while staying cost-effective. The attention to detail and professionalism made the event stress-free and memorable. I was so thrilled with their work that I’ve already booked them again for an upcoming baby shower. I am quickly reminded how easy going and talented this chef is! Highly recommend Private Chef Events for any event—you won’t be disappointed!

dinner for 24 with a salad, duel entrees steak and scallops was to die for. For dessert chef had individual panna cotta’s with berry sauce and he also serviced our cake at no extra cost. Quick, clean effective work!
