The food was a hit. Matt and Page were fantastic to work with and even made it to our event through some wild weather conditions. They were professional, courteous, timely and great to work with. They really made our event run so much more smoothly and allowed us to enjoy it as well. They even tidied up after!

We hired Chef Matt and his wife to create and cook our NYE dinner for 6 adults during our stay in Colorado Springs and it was by far one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! From the very start Matt wowed us with all of his incredible menu options and allowed us to create a 6 course tasting menu that more than suited our wishes and expectations for such a fun and delicious evening! Each and every dish was carefully and skillfully prepared and just when we thought we had had our favorite course, Matt blew us away with another unbelievable dish. The ingredients, presentation, menu, value, expertise, quality of food and taste were above and beyond a 5 star private chef experience! If you’re looking for an unforgettable, extremely accommodating and absolutely delicious private chef for your next event don’t think twice and book Chef Matt!!

We hired Matthew to cater a buffer for our small wedding (about 40 guests) and we were very pleased with our experience. Matthew was professional throughout, very communicative, and very easy to work with. We were very impressed with the variety of cuisines he offered, and the incredible value. The day of he and his assistant were punctual and professional throughout. I never once had to attend to the buffet line. I would definitely hire Matthew again and would encourage others to do the same.

We hired Matthew for a private birthday dinner for my mom’s 70th. We had an exceptional experience from start to finish. All of his menu options were fantastic and we created a menu that was perfect for our family. We really enjoyed watching him cook and explain things as he went. Everything was perfect from the appetizers to the main entree. Highly recommend Matthew for your private chef needs! It’s such a fun experience.

We hired Chef Matt for my sister's birthday dinner, and he did NOT disappoint. We traveled to Colorado Springs from Tx, and it was our first experience with hiring an in-home chef. I can't say enough wonderful compliments about Chef Matt. From the moment I reached out to him a month prior to us visiting Colorado, he was immediately responsive, professional, and helpful. He had an extensive variety of choices to choose from for our 4 course meal. He was on time and professional, but also very friendly, fun and warm. It was 6 of us women, and we felt completely comfortable to be our silly, loud selves. We had the music going and drinks flowing while we hung in the hot tub while he cooked. When it was time to sit down for dinner, Chef Matt professionally described each course in detail and left us to devour each bite with moans and groans. Lol! Everything was delicious!! He cleaned up the kitchen after and even let us take photos with him, as well as him taking photos of us. I highly, highly recommend Chef Matt for your in-home dining experience.
