How It Works

Once we receive your submission, we personally pair you with a Chef best suited to your exact needs. From there, you receive their bio, menu suggestions and put you in touch directly.

Your Chef and respective hospitality team will arrive with prepped ingredients 2-3 hours before service the day of your event.

From table settings to serving and clean up, we take all the work off your plate so you can enjoy your company and respective hosting duties.

Our Mandate

We take pride in locally sourcing top quality, organic ingredients, wherever possible. We work with local vendors and farms who are ethical in practice and form lasting relationships based on our mutual passion of agricultural farming and supporting the local economy.

Discretion is paramount to us. Our Chefs and staff go through an extensive vetting process so we can be certain their code of ethics align with ours. From references to social media conduct, we cautiously audit every member of our team prior to signing an air-tight NDA.

 

Our client service is above all else. Having experienced the upper echelon in luxury hospitality ourselves as well as worked from the bottom up, we take pride in intuiting our client’s needs, however unique they may be.

We believe in giving back. We donate our services, time and product to organizations we believe in and are constantly looking to partner with more. Some of the organizations we support include:
