We hired Chef Collin for my birthday dinner and it was a great decision. We had 18 people, and he made everything feel easy - on time, fully prepared, and super organized. The food was delicious from start to finish and our guests were genuinely impressed (a few asked for his contact during dinner).He was professional, calm, and friendly, and he left the kitchen clean at the end, which I really appreciated. If you want something elevated but effortless for a birthday or event, Id definitely recommend Chef Collin.

Chef Collin made dinner for a holiday party I hosted and everything was amazing! We all loved the food and both Collin and his assistant were so helpful. His assistant cleaned up after dinner and it was so nice to not wake up to a dirty kitchen and dishes. I highly recommend chef Collin.

We had an excellent experience with Chef Collin. He quickly came up with a wonderful, custom menu for our event. He showed up on time and had everything well prepared so the evening flowed well. We also had a few little kids around that were really interested in cooking and Chef Collin was so kind and generous to entertain them. Food was superb and greatly appreciate him cleaning very thoroughly!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Private chef dinners start at $150 per person and include everything—menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking, service, and clean-up. Pricing may vary slightly based on group size, menu, and location, but most events fall within this range.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
You send your date and guest count, I help finalize the menu, and I handle the rest. I arrive fully prepared, cook everything fresh on-site, serve the meal, and leave your kitchen clean.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve been a private chef for over 10 years, cooking for high-end clients, luxury events, and private groups in homes, yachts, and venues.
