If I could give these guys 10 stars I would. We had a private wedding with 35 people and from start to finish everything was perfect. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had and everyone could not stop talking about it. The staff was professional and so nice. Would 10/10 hire them again!

We celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary with our 4 adult children and 5 grandchildren with this beautiful meal and the cake of my dreams. Our 4 course meal appetizer: Arancini, salad: Brussels Sprouts and Pomegranate Salad, main: Short Rib with Polenta, dessert: Chocolate Soufflé, & Lemon Cake with Lemon Bavarian Cream. The children had Arancini, Fruit salad & Chicken Alfredo. They ate it all and the 2 year old said it was delicious! This was an amazing experience & I plan on using them for future events. Thank you Alexis for making my day come true and to all your wonderful staff and Chef Kurtis, it was absolutely an amazing experience and the food was so Delicious!!!

I wanted to surprise my husband with a dinner at home for our anniversary with a private chef. I am so happy I chose the Phoenix Palate! Alexis was my point of contact for coordinating and she was fantastic, especially because I changed my mind a couple of times, but she was so accommodating! Chef Brian and Chef Shawnee were our chef for the evening and they did a fantastic job. We had lobster bisque (highly recommend) and a mussel pasta with red sauce and fresh parm. The flavors were great and the service was excellent!! They also did a SEPARATE menu for our kids which they absolutely loved, mini pizza puff and baked chicken tender with honey and butter corn. We ended the night with a plate of strawberries and chocolate fondue style which was cute and fun for the kids and the adults! To top it all off they bring all of their own supplies and cookware AND my kitchen was sparkling clean when they left. I will definitely be using them for another event.

The Phoenix Palette brought ambiance, professionalism and a beautiful experience to me and girlfriends on our trip to Sedona. A 5 star meal prepared and served in our Air B&B. No detail left untouched with a chef that was on his game. Thanks so much for a wonderful evening.

What a wonderful experience working with Alexis for our Sedona weekend getaway. Her professionalism and response times were excellent. We were paired with Chef Tyler and his assistant Star and they made our in home Chef’s dinner so special. We selected an 8-course meal and Chef Tyler did not disappoint. We are looking forward to using Alexis again. 10’s across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All of our pricing is customized, we don’t believe it is fair to charge a flat rate across the board, some of our menu items cost more than others, some require more labor and some are simple to put together. We believe in fair pricing and to work with everybody’s budget within reason. We believe that we are more on the upscale side, and that’s because we have high standards for the chefs on our team. We aren’t the “cheapest” option. But you’ll get a quality experience from start to finish.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step is setting up a consultation call to see what they are looking for, then based on our conversation we will assign a chef to custom design them a menu. Once we send the menu they make their selections. When selections are made we send a contract and invoice to secure their date.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My chefs have either gone to culinary school or have worked in a kitchen for 10+ years.
