EvENTS and PRIVATE DINING. PERSONAL CHEF EXPRIENCE
For intimate dinners, special celebrations, or one-time gatherings, I create fully personalized dining experiences that feel effortless and elevated. Menus range from family-style meals to multi-course tasting menus or plated dinners, all designed around your tastes, dietary preferences, and the occasion you’re hosting. Every detail — from flavor balance to presentation — is crafted to make your event memorable, allowing you and your guests to focus on enjoying the moment rather than the logistics.

How does pricing work?
Pricing is based on your chosen menu. There’s a flat fee per guest that covers all preparation and ingredients, plus an hourly fee for any staff members for the hours spent on-site, which typically runs around 5 hours. This ensures clarity and transparency while providing a seamless, high-quality experience.
