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.

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!!

Chef Matthew worked closely with us on the menu for our 3 course meal plus amuse bouche for a birthday dinner for a group of close friends. He arrived on time with his assistant and began working in the kitchen immediately. Our meal included a delicate crab leg salad, steak Oscar and asparagus, homemade rolls, and strawberry trifle for dessert, all made in my kitchen. They washed all cooking utensils immediately after use, plus served each course with a brief description of that course. Guests really enjoyed him and his assistant and raved about the food. He made it a very special night. Thanks, Chef Matthew.

Chef Matt and Paige did an amazing job cooking for a dinner party celebrating my parents' 50th anniversary. We had eight courses throughout the evening, each inspired by a different place they had lived during their marriage and the food did not disappoint! People are still talking about it. He was very responsive to communication and easy to work with. We loved having the food quality of a high end restaurant with the relaxed timing and atmosphere of being at home. I would hire him again or recommend him to others without hesitation.
