Frequently Asked Questions.
How does private dining work with Catering & Dining?
Share your date, location, guest count, and occasion through our contact form. We review the details, discuss menu direction, and send a personalized proposal. Your date is held only after you accept the agreement and complete the payment steps 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 or beverage stations are not assumed—they are confirmed in writing when available.
Can menus be customized?
Yes. Menus are written for your guests, kitchen, and occasion. Share preferences and any celebratory details when you inquire.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
We discuss dietary needs during menu planning and confirm what can be accommodated safely before booking. Please disclose allergies and dietary restrictions in advance.
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 availability when we reply.
How much does a private chef cost?
Pricing depends on guest count, menu, location, staffing, and service scope. Deposits and payment schedules are specified in your personalized proposal—not on this website.
Are ingredients included?
Ingredient arrangements and any associated costs are specified in your personalized proposal.
Do I need to create an account?
An account is not required to submit an initial inquiry.
Does submitting an inquiry confirm my booking?
No. Your booking is confirmed only after the required agreement and payment conditions have been completed.
Do you cook at the client's home?
Yes. Our private dining service is designed around preparing food on-site in the client's kitchen.
