Chef Timothy was fantastic. Booked him for a birthday dinner for my wife and he was so great getting comfortable in our home, sharing his story as a chef, and making us a fantastic meal. We will definitely be scheduling with him again!

Chef Laura was exceptional! She made my 40th birthday dinner something truly special. She was very accommodating to our group (which can be difficult when you have toddlers and young children). I would recommend Chef Laura to anyone considering a private dinner event.

FAQS ABOUT PRIVATE CHEFS in Nashville
How much does a private chef in Nashville cost?
The cost of a private chef for a dinner party is determined by your menu and number of guests. As you scroll the page, you’ll notice that each culinary experience lists the starting price per person based on the suggested menu. Prices range from $59 to over $100 per person, which includes local sales tax. Children’s menus are available at a reduced rate. After you enter your guest count, the estimated total cost of your dining experience will automatically adjust. Special requests, additional courses, and other modifications to the menu may impact the overall cost. If you need assistance booking an in-home chef for a dinner party, please contact our concierge team.
What is included when you hire a chef for the night?
When you hire a chef for dinner, every detail of your event is expertly managed. Once the menu is finalized, your chef will source the finest ingredients, from locally caught seafood to delicious spices from around the world. In the comfort of your own home, your chef will expertly prepare each course, ensuring every dish is beautifully presented and served with care. If specialty cookware is needed, such as a hibachi grill or bamboo sushi mats, your chef will bring it along. By the time your event wraps up, you’ll be left with a spotless kitchen and delicious memories.
What are the most popular cuisines with private chef experiences?
Nashville chefs specialize in crafting a wide range of cuisines tailored to your preferences. While Italian, Asian, and American classics remain favorites, your options are limitless. If you envision a champagne brunch in the garden, reminiscent of Harper’s, hire a chef to create a menu featuring eggs Benedict and Nashville hot chicken and waffles. Craving Husk’s contemporary twist on Southern comfort? Rent a chef to whip up country ham and buttermilk biscuits. From a laid-back meat-and-three gathering with friends in The Gulch to a Michelin-level black-tie event Downtown, when you hire a chef, your culinary dreams become a reality.
How do I hire a chef or rent a chef?
It’s as easy to hire a chef as it is to find a crowded honky-tonk on a Friday night. Browse through the range of culinary experiences available on this page and pick the perfect cuisine or chef for your event. Choose your desired date and time, then enter how many guests you'll be hosting. Don’t worry if that changes before your event. Once your reservation is locked in, your Music City chef will reach out to tailor the menu to your preferences. Have questions or need help with bookings, dates, or special requests? Our concierge team is always here to help you rent a chef and ensure a seamless experience.
How much should I tip my private chef?
When you hire a private chef for a dinner party, gratuities are completely optional and are entirely up to you. However, if you’d like to express your appreciation for the chef’s outstanding service and delicious creations, like their hot honey fried chicken, bourbon-spiked pecan pie, and sweet tea, we suggest a tip of 10% to 25% of the total cost as a thoughtful gesture.
Where do the experiences take place?
When you hire chefs to cook at your home, you’re not confined to a restaurant’s back room or its limited menu. As long as the chef has access to a fully equipped kitchen, your dining experience can take place anywhere you desire. Whether you’re throwing a family reunion in the charming neighborhoods of Belle Meade or Forest Hills or hosting an elegant engagement party near Sylvan Park, booking an in-home chef for a dinner party brings five-star food and exceptional service to your home.
