I do require a 50% deposit and balance on the day of your event. A travel charge will be applied depending on the distance that I need to travel.

Ari did a phenomenal job after we hired her to be a chef for a bachelor party. She came prepared to the event and was responsive when it. Came to communicating. She prepped and left the Airbnb kitchen in pristine shape. In the face of adversity, she rise to the occasion after a few hiccups with our Airbnb (power going out), and have us a memorable meal. I would highly recommend her

We engaged Ari for a 14 person seated dinner party. She arrived when expected, greeted us and begin to prepare a delicious 4-course meal. Our guests were delighted with both presentation and the flavors she created in our filet mignon and lobster tail dinner. After dinner she cleaned her work area and departed with many thank you’s. We would not hesitate to engage her again. Excellent service.

My event was a hit thanks to Chef Diop. She made it easy to plan an amazing menu that my guest are still talking about it. I found her to be very competitive. The food was much more than I expected in quality and portions. Extremely professional and very communicative. She is awesome . I will definitely hire her again.
