It was an absolute pleasure from the start working with this group. The communication was exceptional and prompt & he answered a ton of questions as I was new to this experience. The food was amazing, staff was professional. We asked for some custom adjustments to the menu to accommodate a pretty healthy, clean crowd, and there was no hesitation. The stress of throwing a party is real, and I was doing this for a friend for a 70th birthday. I wanted everything to be perfect and they did not disappoint! From initial interview to final cleanup, this experience was seamless.
Thank you to Chef Segreto for a wonderful night!

We used Chef Segreto at our intimate wedding and it’s was amazing. We had it in Key Largo and his professionalism gave us comfort that our guests would have food actually arrive and be cooked (South Florida can be tough with people being flaky and then add the Keys to it, forget it). One of our guests wa professional trained as a chef and two other outstanding cooks, Chef Segreto passed with flying colors. Food was divine and can actually cook fish without over cooking it. He was amazing

Working with Chef Segreto has been a pleasure from start to finish. He catered my daughter’s wedding, an outside venue with no equipment only electricity and water as infrastructure. His mobile kitchen staff created beautiful hors d’oeuvres packed with flavor accompanied by a sit down, family style meal, savory and herbaceous, from mains to sides. Delicious! He accommodated vegetarians and celiacs with the same standard. Most of the 70 guests commented to me on how wonderful the food and service was….everyone had a smile. The staff was professional, kind, and helpful. This far exceeded standard wedding fare. I highly recommend Chef Segreto…photos coming soon. 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don't have enough good words to express what a great job Chef Segreto did. It was my Husband's birthday and this is the first time I hired a personal chef; and believe you me, he is worth every penny. He made my Husband feel special for his birthday as well as myself and our group. And the food...oh wow! Excellent!! He will make your special celebration even more special.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Quality is not an option. I use the freshest and best quality ingredients in every dish. The choices are endless for your events. Menus are price according to size of event and types of dishes.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
During the new client interaction, I like to discuss themes, and what their vision is. I offer suggestions on menus and tailer them to fit their needs and budget.
