What to Know Before Booking

Kitchen Access Is Required

Because our chefs prepare your menu fresh on-site, we need access to a functional kitchen in your home, vacation rental, Airbnb, or approved event space.
Before your event, we’ll confirm the kitchen setup, available appliances, counter space, refrigeration, oven/stovetop access, and any timing details needed for your menu. This helps us plan the right menu and service style for your space.
Your chef will use the kitchen to prep, cook, finish, serve, organize, and clean up. After the event, our goal is to leave the kitchen cared for and ready for you to enjoy the rest of your evening.
