An outdoor evening celebration with decorated tables

Home/Private events

Occasions

Private events & celebrations

The venue is already booked — it is your backyard. We bring the chef, the grill and the show to whatever you are celebrating.

Occasions

What people book us for

Guests raising a toast around an outdoor table

Birthdays

The most-booked reason people call. The chef works the birthday guest into the show, and children age 5 and under are $5 each.

A group dining together outdoors in daylight

Graduations

Graduation season fills fast — book 1–2 weeks ahead. Big mixed-age groups work well since everyone picks their own proteins.

A host raising a glass at a dinner party

Anniversaries

A quieter seated dinner where the cooking is the entertainment. Upgrade to filet mignon and lobster to make it an occasion.

A long table set for a wedding dinner at night

Weddings & rehearsal dinners

A relaxed alternative to a banquet hall. For larger counts we assign multiple chefs and grills.

Colleagues dining on a restaurant patio

Corporate & team dinners

Offsites, client dinners and holiday parties. We invoice cleanly and tailor the menu around dietary needs across a whole team.

A family gathered around a long outdoor table

Holidays & reunions

Family reunions, Fourth of July and end-of-year gatherings, where nobody wants to spend the evening cooking or washing up.

Scale

Larger parties

For 30 or more guests we normally assign two chefs and two grills, and for 60 or more we normally assign three chefs, so nobody waits for food. Final staffing is confirmed based on your guest count and event requirements.

Volume discounts scale with headcount — up to $200 off for parties of 45+. See the table on packages & pricing.

Before you book

Four things to check

1

The space

Roughly 5′ × 8′ of flat outdoor space, plus tables and chairs — bring your own, or add table-and-chair service at $10 per person.

2

Cover for weather

The cooking station must be under cover if rain is possible. Canopy, gazebo, covered patio or open garage all work.

3

Dietary needs

Gluten-free Tamari, organic tofu and allergy-aware prep are standard — just flag requirements when booking.

4

Timing

Your chef typically arrives about 30 minutes early to set up. Cooking and performance then run 90 minutes for Classic and 120 minutes for Premium and Luxury.
