  • Background Check of the Chef
  • Liability Insurance
  • Sample Menu
  • References from Clients
  • Be sure to Google the private Chef.
  • Check for affiliation with a national chef organization.

Work with the chef to plan the perfect meal, then relax while they do the shopping, often using great local produce and fresh-caught seafood. Many outfits will come to your home, rental property, summer house, backyard, or venue either with the meal ready to go, or prepare it at the location. Either enjoy watching the chef work or focus on hosting the event without worrying about oven timers or seasonings! When the meal is over the caterers will take care of the mess, leaving you to just enjoy the wedding, reception, family reunion, brunch, or other get-together.
