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 12 and under are priced lower.

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 bring multiple chefs and grills so nobody waits for food, and we plan timing around speeches, cake or whatever else runs that evening.

Volume discounts scale with headcount — up to $400 off for parties of 50+. See the table on packages & pricing.

We carry a $2,000,000 liability policy, which is usually what venues, HOAs and corporate offices need before approving an outside caterer.

Before you book

Four things to check

1

The space

Roughly 5′ × 8′ of flat outdoor space, plus your own tables and chairs — or book Luxury and we handle the setup.

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 arrives 30–45 minutes early, then cooks and performs for about 90 minutes.
