⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend James from JW Events enough! He created the most incredible private chef experience for 9 of us in East Hampton for a friend’s birthday dinner, and everything was absolutely flawless. From the very beginning, James worked closely with me on the theme of the evening and brought so much creativity and professionalism to the table - and catered to all dietary restrictions. He came all the way out to the Hamptons and came fully prepared with the freshest ingredients. Every single dish he served was impeccable—not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor. You could truly taste the care and passion he puts into his work. On top of his culinary talent, James was a pleasure to work with: organized, attentive, and committed to making the night special. He made the entire process effortless for us so we could just enjoy and celebrate. Whether you’re planning a family dinner, a group gathering, or a professional event, James is the one to hire. He elevated our evening beyond what we imagined, and I’ll definitely be booking him again. If you’re considering a private chef experience, don’t hesitate—JW Events is outstanding!

James was thoughtful, professional, and accommodating at all points in the process. The food and presentation was exceptional and the service went above and beyond what I was expecting. They made a huge positive impression on me and all our guests - and I had some real foodies in the crowd who had only great things to say. Days later my friends are still talking about the experience. Highly recommend!
