A Wedding Anniversary Dinner That Honors Every Year Together

Decades together deserve more than a restaurant reservation. A myChef personal chef prepares an intimate anniversary dinner in your own home — even recreating the menu from your wedding day — while you focus on each other.

Why an Anniversary Belongs at Home, Not in a Restaurant

A milestone anniversary in a busy restaurant means shared noise, a rushed table turnover, and a menu written for everyone. For bodas de prata, bodas de ouro, or any year worth marking, couples want the opposite: privacy, meaning, and a meal that tells their story. A personal chef delivers exactly that — a table set in the home you built together, with no strangers at the next table.

The detail no restaurant can offer: your chef can recreate or reinterpret the menu from your wedding day. Bring a photo of the old reception menu, a memory of the dish you both loved, or simply the story of how you met — the chef turns it into courses. Many couples pair it with the same sparkling wine they toasted with, now served at their own dining table.

It works just as well for the whole family. When children and grandchildren gather to honor their parents' 25th or 50th anniversary, the chef scales the same care to a family-style celebration for up to 20 guests — so nobody spends the party in the kitchen, least of all the couple being celebrated.

1

Tell Us Your Story

Download the myChef app and describe the celebration: how many years, dinner for two or the whole family, and any meaningful dishes — including the wedding menu you'd love to see again.

2

Match with a Chef Who Gets It

Browse chefs experienced in romantic and milestone dinners. Compare sample menus, reviews, and pricing, and choose the one whose style matches the memory you want to create.

3

Design the Menu Together

Chat directly with your chef to shape each course — recreate the original wedding dishes, add a wine pairing, or plan a surprise dessert with a message for your spouse. Pricing is confirmed before you book.

4

Sit Down and Celebrate

On the night, the chef arrives early, cooks in your kitchen, serves each course at its own pace, and leaves everything spotless. Your only job is to be at the table, together.

What's Included

A Menu Built Around Your History

The chef designs each course around your story — wedding dishes, first-date restaurants, honeymoon flavors — not a generic romantic template.

Grocery Shopping & Fresh Ingredients

All ingredients are sourced and purchased by the chef on the day. You buy nothing and prep nothing.

On-Site Cooking & Plated Service

Courses are cooked in your kitchen and served restaurant-style, paced for a long, unhurried evening.

Surprise Coordination

Planning a surprise for your spouse? The chef coordinates arrival times, secret menu details, and even a hidden dessert message with you beforehand.

Anniversary Dessert

A special plated dessert — or a reinterpretation of your wedding cake — is part of the experience.

Complete Kitchen Cleanup

After the last course, the chef cleans everything and slips out quietly, leaving the rest of the night to you.

Flowers, Candles & Table Decor

Decoration is not part of the standard service, though many chefs can recommend local florists and help you plan the table setting.

Sommelier & Wine Bottles

Wine is not included, but your chef will suggest pairings for each course so you can buy the right bottles in advance.

Anniversaries We've Been Part Of

"For their bodas de prata, Marcos wanted to surprise Lúcia by recreating the menu from their 2001 wedding in Porto Alegre — a starter of palmito, chicken galantine, and the coconut cake her aunt had baked. He sent the chef an old photo of the reception menu through the app."

The chef researched each dish and rebuilt the menu with modern technique. When the coconut cake arrived, plated with a card reading the original wedding date, Lúcia recognized it instantly and cried. Marcos says it beat every restaurant anniversary they'd ever had.

"Fernanda booked a chef for her 10th anniversary in São Paulo while her husband thought they were staying in for delivery. The chef arrived while he was at the gym and had the first course ready when he walked in."

A five-course French dinner unfolded in their own apartment — scallops, filet au poivre, and a crème brûlée torched at the table. Her husband still tells friends it was the best 'delivery' of his life.

"The Almeida siblings organized a bodas de ouro lunch in Belo Horizonte for their parents, with 18 family members across three generations. They needed food that honored their parents' Portuguese roots without anyone getting stuck in the kitchen."

The chef served arroz de polvo and slow-roasted lamb family-style, and the couple's grandchildren presented the bodas cake. For the first time at a family party, the 74-year-old matriarch never once stood up to serve anyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

An intimate multi-course dinner for two typically runs R$500-R$900 in total, depending on the menu and ingredients (imported wines, seafood, and premium cuts raise the cost). Family celebrations for 12-20 guests usually range from R$150-R$300 per person. Every chef shows detailed pricing before you confirm.
Yes — this is one of the most requested anniversary experiences. Share whatever you have: a photo of the reception menu, the caterer's dish names, or just descriptions from memory. The chef researches and rebuilds the dishes, and will flag anything that needs a modern substitution.
You coordinate everything with the chef in the app beforehand: arrival time, kitchen access, and the moment of the reveal. Chefs are experienced at working quietly while a spouse is out — at the gym, picking up kids, or on a decoy errand — so the first course is ready on cue.
Yes. Most chefs will design the menu with a pairing plan and tell you exactly which bottles to buy for each course. Some chefs also partner with sommeliers who can join the evening — ask in the chat before booking.
Book 1-2 weeks ahead for a dinner for two, and 3-4 weeks for larger family celebrations like bodas de prata or ouro. If your anniversary falls near Valentine's Day, Dia dos Namorados, or year-end holidays, reserve earlier — those dates fill up fast.
