Birthday & Intimate Celebration Dinners in NYC
Celebrate a birthday or milestone with a private chef meal at home. Catering & Dining LLC builds menus for small celebrations where food and service should feel personal—not cafeteria-style catering.
Small celebrations, full attention
Birthdays, graduations, and family milestones often work best with a customized seated dinner or family-style menu in your kitchen. Guest count, kitchen setup, and timeline drive what we propose.
Kids, adults, and mixed groups
Let us know who is at the table and any age-appropriate preferences. We can discuss simpler courses for younger guests and more elaborate menus for adults within the same event when it fits the kitchen and schedule.
Next step: inquiry
Use our contact form with the date, location, and celebration type. We reply with questions and, when appropriate, a personalized proposal—never an instant online checkout.
Questions
How does in-home private dining work?
You share your date, location, guest count, and occasion through our contact form. We review the details, discuss menu direction and service scope, and send a personalized proposal. Your date is held only after you accept the agreement and complete the payment steps described in your booking documents.
What is included in a private chef experience?
Typical scope includes menu planning, ingredient coordination, on-site cooking, and plated service for the agreed menu. Cleanup of cooking areas used during service is defined in your proposal. Extra servers, coordination, or beverage stations are not assumed—they are discussed when you inquire and confirmed in writing when available.
Can menus be customized?
Yes. Menus are written for your guests, kitchen, and occasion. Share preferences, courses, and any cultural or celebratory touches when you inquire so we can reflect them in the proposal.
How do you handle dietary restrictions and allergies?
Tell us about allergies, restrictions, and preferences during planning. We discuss what can be accommodated safely before you confirm a booking. Final menus and service details are confirmed in your proposal or agreement.
How far in advance should I inquire?
Contact us as early as your plans allow—popular dates and larger gatherings often need more coordination time. We confirm whether your date is available when we reply to your inquiry.
How do pricing and deposits work?
Pricing depends on guest count, menu, location, and service scope. Deposits, payment schedules, and accepted methods are spelled out in your personalized proposal and booking agreement—not on this website.
How do I submit an event inquiry?
Use the contact form at https://www.cateringdining.com/contact (no client account required for an initial inquiry). You may also reach us through the email and channels listed on our contact page.
Can we add coffee service or extra help for the event?
Specialty coffee and nonalcoholic barista service is offered separately when confirmed in your proposal. Event staffing or coordination may be requested with a booking and is confirmed individually—it is not booked on its own through the website.
