We had a small intimate party at my home for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. I had never had a personal chef before and I am so happy Tana and her team agreed to do it for us. From start to finish the experience was wonderful. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. Tana was very responsive every time I reached out, every idea or thought I had she helped me work through it, she took care of many things on the to do list,she arrived when she said she would and ended her time with us when she said she would. The food was beautiful and delicious. She and her her team were kind and engaging with my family and we felt like we were at our own restaurant. My home was spotless at the end. We didn’t have to do a thing. It was magical!⭐️ My parents were so surprised and loved every second. We are all still talking about it. It’s everything I was hoping for their celebration. Thank you Tana and team for all you did for us. You gave us forever memories.

From our very first interaction with Tana to giving goodbyes at the end of the evening, it was evident how passionate and artistic she is when it comes to food. We are beyond appreciative of the level of planning that was spent to execute the most magical dining experience for us and our guests. Everyone still talks about the food weeks later! I would gladly utilize Tana again and she comes highly, highly recommended. Thank you again for making our wedding absolutely amazing and special!

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is done on a per person basis with a $1000 minimum for all events. The price per person ranges drastically based on guest amount, meal and location- its important to note, the less guests you have, the more it costs per person. We offer competitive rates for the area. The price per person is the base and then taxes, rentals, alcohol and fees are separate. We like to come at each event from an extremely personal and detail oriented way.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We usually reply with some quick questions as needed to get a feel for what you need then we like to arrange an initial consultation call to discuss details and from there we can do an intake form and menu curation!
