Chef Julius was incredible to work with from start to finish. He arrived right on time and put together a beautifully paced, fun slow dinner that let us really savor every course. He made sure the kids were taken care of and fed first, which we genuinely appreciated, and then he helped clean up afterward so we could actually relax and enjoy the evening. The whole experience felt thoughtful and seamless. Highly recommend Julius for anyone looking for a private chef who delivers on every detail.

We hired a private chef for my brother’s bachelor party and it ended up being one of the highlights of the entire weekend. We had a group of 13 guys and he handled everything seamlessly. The menu was Japanese-inspired and every dish was seriously impressive, high quality, well thought out, and perfectly executed. You could tell a lot of attention went into both the flavors and presentation. What really set him apart though was how he went above and beyond. He didn’t just stick to the meal, he jumped in and crafted cocktails for us using whatever ingredients we had on hand, which made the whole experience feel even more personalized and fun. Super professional, easy to work with, and brought great energy to the night. Couldn’t recommend him more, especially for a group setting like a bachelor party.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Dessert • I'm flexible • American - casual • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I enjoyed my time working with Chef Julius and cannot recommend him more. Julius was the perfect match for my wedding. He took care of 130 guests through cocktail hour and dinner without breaking a sweat and my guests told me they loved how unique the menu was. My vegetarian friends raved about his plant based options too. He went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process. We had a specific vision and some special requests and he carried everything out seamlessly. I was impressed with his attention to detail and will not hesitate to hire him again in the future.

Details: Wedding • Cocktail hour or hors d'oeuvres • Dinner • American - formal • Asian • Buffet • Yes, full service • Banquet hall or ballroom • Yes, partial kitchen (fridge and sink only) • 100 - 124 guests • Premium (high end ingredients)
