Why Couples Choose myChef for Weddings & Engagements

Venue catering is expensive, impersonal, and rarely memorable. Buffet lines and reheated trays don't match the significance of your milestone. A personal chef changes everything — you get a fully customized menu prepared fresh in your space, served with the care and attention your celebration deserves, whether it's 20 guests in a backyard or 80 in a family estate.

From micro-weddings and elopement dinners to rehearsal dinners and engagement parties, myChef connects you with experienced chefs who specialize in events. They handle menu planning, ingredient sourcing, cooking, plating, service, and full cleanup. You focus on your guests and the moment — not logistics.

What's Included

What each package actually includes is listed on its experience page, before you pay.

Usually included

  • Custom Menu Design

    Your chef creates a menu from scratch based on your event type, guest count, dietary needs, and personal preferences.

  • All Ingredients Sourced

    The chef handles all shopping — premium proteins, seasonal produce, and specialty items. You don't buy anything.

  • On-Site Cooking & Professional Plating

    Everything is prepared fresh at your location with restaurant-quality presentation, whether plated or family-style.

  • Service Staff for Larger Events

    For events above 30 guests, your chef can bring trained assistants to ensure smooth service throughout the evening.

  • Full Kitchen Cleanup

    After the celebration, the chef and team clean the entire kitchen — counters, dishes, appliances — leaving it spotless.

  • Dietary Accommodation

    Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, kosher, or allergy-specific dishes are seamlessly integrated into the menu without compromising quality.

Arrange separately

  • Cake & Dessert Station

    Wedding cakes are not included by default but your chef can create a custom dessert station or coordinate with your cake designer.

  • Tableware & Furniture Rental

    Plates, glassware, tables, and chairs are not included but can be arranged through partner vendors at an additional cost.

Real Stories

Example requests and how a chef can shape the evening.

Ana and Carlos decided on a micro-wedding in their family's countryside house in Campinas with 35 guests. Traditional venues were overpriced and felt too formal for what they wanted — a warm, intimate celebration surrounded by people they loved. They hired a myChef chef to prepare a Brazilian-Italian fusion menu.

Guests raved about the picanha risotto for weeks. Ana said it was exactly the wedding she dreamed of — personal, relaxed, and with better food than any venue they'd visited. The chef even prepared a surprise dessert with the couple's favorite childhood treats.

Juliana hosted her engagement party for 50 friends at her apartment rooftop in São Paulo. She wanted something more elevated than ordering from a restaurant but didn't have time to plan catering logistics. Through myChef, she found a chef who handled everything — from passed appetizers to a dessert table.

The evening ran flawlessly. Juliana spent the entire party celebrating instead of worrying about food. Her fiancé said it felt like a private restaurant event, not a house party. Several guests asked for the chef's contact for their own events.

Marcos and Beatriz organized a rehearsal dinner for 25 family members the night before their wedding in Belo Horizonte. They wanted something intimate and stress-free — a chance for both families to connect over great food before the big day.

The chef prepared a four-course Mediterranean menu that became the highlight of the wedding weekend. Both mothers said the rehearsal dinner was actually more memorable than the reception. Marcos credited myChef with making the most stressful week of their lives feel effortless.

Frequently asked questions

For weddings and engagement parties, we recommend booking 3-6 weeks in advance. This gives your chef time to plan the menu, source specialty ingredients, and coordinate logistics. For peak wedding season (October-March in Brazil), book even earlier.
Yes. Many myChef chefs regularly cater events of this size and bring trained assistants. When you describe your event in the app, chefs with large-event experience will respond with proposals that include staffing details.
The price depends on the package, minimum quantity and inclusions. Check the published packages on this page or the chef's profile for the minimum-order total and whether ingredients are included. Commute and add-ons can change the final amount, shown before payment.
Absolutely. Our chefs routinely handle events where some guests are vegetarian, others are gluten-free, and others have allergies. Alternate dishes are prepared and served seamlessly — no guest feels singled out.
Most chefs bring their own cooking equipment but not tableware. For larger events, your chef can recommend rental partners for plates, glassware, linens, and furniture. This is arranged separately and quoted in advance.
