James was amazing to work with. He is incredibly kind, responsive and a great chef to boot! He was a consummate professional throughout the entire process and worked diligently to make my mother’s birthday dinner a delight (even on short notice). For anyone considering a private chef for the first time for any event, James is an excellent choice and he won’t disappoint!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Dessert • Italian • American - casual • Mexican / Latin American • Barbecue • Southern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We couldn't have been more pleased with Chef James and his staff. Initially I was worried about arranging the wedding from a distance, but Chef James made it easy. He asked about us and our likes and dislikes, the venue and other relevant issues. The menu choices he came up with were perfect for us. The hors d'oeuvres and entrees were both unusual and delicious. The quality of the food exceeded our expectations and that of our guests. As it was an outdoor wedding, he came fully prepared with a refrigerated truck, grills, etc. His staff was excellent, attentive to every detail. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dinners with Class, LLC. Wish we had our photos to show how lovely the presentation was as well.

Details: Wedding • Cocktail hour or hors d'oeuvres • Dinner • Non-alcoholic drinks • Alcoholic drinks • Coffee or tea • American - formal • American - casual • Buffet • Yes, full service • Outdoor venue • Yes, full kitchen • 40 - 49 guests • Plates, utensils and glasses • Cloth napkins • Serving and warming equipment • Premium (high end ingredients)

James delivered a meal that was beyond our expectations. Menu was creative and delicious. James was professional, friendly, and he fit right in! He brought everything he needed and left our home very clean. All guests were so excited to be a part of this event! It was so special. We will definitely be contacting James again for another event.

We held an onsite corporate event where we offered appetizers to our guests. Chef James met with us prior to the event and ask very specific questions about our guests. He then devised a menu that fit both our budget and our guests' expectations. The food and presentation were wonderful. We would hire Dinners with Class again.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Dinner party cooking classes for 8-12 people, where I demo a part of the meal during the appetizer portion of the event and then afterwards the guests get to dine on the item that they just learned how to make.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Know what you want, and be realistic about what you can afford, work with a caterer that will work with you and make your dreams a reality.
