Dinner Parties
Our dinner party service allows you to be a warm and engaged host and enjoy a beautiful meal served by your personal chef. There are 4 steps to creating a Maeven Chef dinner party:
Discuss details and inspiration with Maeven Chef and select a menu, date, and location. Fill out a short survey that will give more information on your event. Let us know if you want any additional services like florals, beverage pairings, decor, music, tableware, or extra servers. Once the menu is set, send your deposit to save the date. For up to 10 guests the deposit is $200, for over 10 it is $400, which will be applied towards the event total. The date can be moved up to 72 hours before the event to an alternate available date in case of illness or other issue.
Your personal chef will shop for groceries to prepare your dishes from your favourite sources.
Your chef will arrive at your house, prepare the selected menu, and serve the dishes to your guests. For larger parties, servers, bartenders or an extra chef can be added for a seamless service.
The kitchen will be left organized and clean for you to enjoy the party.
Pricing
$200 deposit
To secure your date, you will put down a deposit of $200 for under 10 guests or $400 for more than 10, which will be put towards your event total.
$ groceries
Based on the menu you select, Maeven Chef will purchase all the ingredients at your preferred stores and will provide the receipts to be reimbursed. The menu options you choose will dictate the food cost, no hidden fees.
$85 per hour labour rate
Depending on how many guests you have, the hours could range from 3-10 for your personal chef to do the shopping, cooking, serving, and cleanup. For larger parties additional help (servers, bartenders, or cooks) may be required at a rate of $35 per hour.
