Private Events with Chef Dane
Every meal has a story. I’m here to help you tell yours.
Whether you’re planning a wedding dinner for a handful of loved ones, hosting a special celebration at home, or gathering your team for something outside the usual, I bring the whole experience of a private chef into your space, thoughtfully, quietly, and with a deep respect for what the moment means.
Each event is shaped entirely around you: your preferences, your space, your guests. I source everything fresh, prepare each course on-site, and handle the service and cleanup so you can be present for the toasts, the laughter, and the memories being made around the table.
Weddings & Elopements
Not everyone wants a banquet hall and a ballroom. I specialize in intimate wedding meals—quiet, personal, and beautiful events where the food feels like an integral part of the ceremony itself.
Whether it’s dinner under the stars after a mountaintop elopement or a long, shared table in your family’s backyard, I’ll work closely with you to design a menu that reflects your style and makes the most of your setting. I’ll coordinate timelines, assist with rentals, and ensure every detail feels intentional and effortless.
Private Dinners
Some of the best meals aren’t served in restaurants. They happen around your table, with the people you care about most.
I create private dining experiences for all kinds of occasions—birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, or just a quiet evening that deserves to feel special. Whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a full table of friends and family, I’ll create a completely customized menu and take care of the entire experience, from preparation to serving and final cleanup.
These meals are about slowing down, enjoying the moment, and letting someone else take care of the work for once.
Corporate & Executive Events
When you’re hosting clients, recognizing your team, or simply trying to create space for meaningful conversation, the proper meal can set the tone.
I offer corporate and executive dining tailored to your goals—whether that means a relaxed, family-style lunch or a refined, multi-course dinner with paired wines and plated service. I can work quietly in the background or build interactive elements into the evening depending on the tone you’re after.
Your team deserves more than catering trays and conference-room coffee. Let’s create something that leaves an impression.
Multi-Course Tasting Menus & Experiential Dining
This is where food becomes something more. My multi-course tasting menus are designed as immersive experiences—thoughtfully paced, highly seasonal, and meant to be savored.
Each menu is crafted from scratch, often featuring five to twelve courses, tailored to your vision and setting. These meals are about storytelling: where the ingredients come from, how they’re prepared, and why they matter to the experience.
Whether we’re at your kitchen island or in a remote venue, I bring the focus and care of fine dining into your space without the stiffness or ego. It’s food meant to be felt as much as tasted—curious, comforting, and full of intention.
What to Expect
Once we connect, I’ll get to know what you’re planning, who’s coming, and what kind of experience you’re hoping for. From there, I’ll create a custom menu proposal and guide you through the entire plan, from preparation and timing to presentation and cleanup. You’ll never have to worry about the details. I’ve got it covered.
If you have a vision, I’d love to help bring it to life. If you’re still figuring things out, that’s fine too—I’m happy to help you shape the experience from the ground up.
Let’s make something truly special, one course at a time.
