Introduction: 'The energy of the room; setting the stage. Everything that goes into planning a dinner party - the food, the decor, the dress, the music, the lighting - all contribute to the mood of the event. I always tell my clients to imagine the end result of the party and how they would like their guests to feel in order to perfectly curate the evening they envision.'

This was my first experience of having a personal chef prepare a meal for a very special event--a family gathering on the day after Christmas and included 12 adults and 6 children (ages 3 to 18). Daneen did exactly what I wanted and expected. She arrived on-time and after a brief tour of our kitchen, she went to work. She was fully equipped with her own tools. My guest were impressed with her efficiency and skills as she prepared Prime Rib, Leg of Lamb, and Pork loin, using our brand new double oven for the first time. She had somewhat limited counter space but managed to make it work seamlessly. Dinner was served "buffet style," without a single hitch and On-time too. Food was excellent and compliments were heard from everyone, even from the children (for her mac-n-cheese). Overall, this was a great meal and complimented our family gathering perfectly. Daneen blended with my guests as if one of them. She answered their questions about various foods and displayed a congenial and friendly demeanor. She even cleaned up and neatly packaged all the leftovers in plastic container for our enjoyment later. This was an excellent first-time experience for all of us. I highly recommend Daneen Green as your next personal chef. Well Done Daneen!! Colonel Mike, USAF, Retired

We hired Danesh for a party of 14. She put together a superb event. First, Daneen is a gem of a human being. She is wonderful to work with and makes everything easy. Second, she is an outstanding chef. The meal she prepared for my guests, including hors d'Oeuvres, mains, and desserts, was most delicious. The pairings were great, the tastes both subtle and bold. Third, Daneen has a great eye for making the plate look cookbook perfect. She is wonderful, and I cannot wait for the chance to hire her again.

Words can not express how amazing Daily Square is. Daneen is such a talented Chef and a beautiful person as well. She catered my husbands 60th birthday party with 35 people. Her presentation of appetizers was so gorgeously delicious. And the evening was about good food and that's what you want at a party. Good food and good friends Her staff was an extension of her. Phenomenal. Her dishes are so unique that have a twist that makes you only want more. She is so professional with an amazing energy. I and all of my friends can't wait to have Dayneen back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our party a night we will never forget.

Daneen and her team were honestly incredible, everything from logistically planning with her leading up to my event to actually coordinating, cooking, and cleaning the day of. I asked her to cater an all vegan dinner for 8 people and a few days before showed up with 11 people. She easily adjusted (brought staff with her) and seriously went with our flow of the evening. We exchanged only 4-5 emails total about the plan and the menu and she absolutely nailed it. I've been planning a wedding and my caterers have needed at least 40-50 emails going back and forth, but Daneen knew exactly what to do. She is spectacular and I wish I could have hired her for my actual wedding. After the event one of the attendees asked for her contact info to see if she could cater their vegan wedding because she was truly that outstanding. I can't recommend Daneen and her team more.

Details: Regular meal • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Asian • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
