A Personal Chef for Your Wedding, Engagement, or Rehearsal Dinner at Home
Your celebration deserves more than a catering truck. A myChef personal chef designs a bespoke menu, cooks on-site, and serves your guests course by course — turning your home into the most memorable venue of all.
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.

How It Works
Describe Your Celebration
Download the myChef app and share the details: type of event (wedding, engagement, rehearsal dinner), guest count, date, dietary needs, and your vision for the menu — formal, casual, or somewhere in between.
Review Chef Proposals
Chefs experienced in wedding-scale events send tailored proposals with menu options, pricing, and service details. Compare profiles, read reviews from past events, and choose the chef who matches your style and budget.
Finalize the Menu Together
Work directly with your chef to refine the menu — add a signature cocktail, accommodate vegan guests, include a family recipe, or design a dessert station. Every detail is customized before the big day.
Celebrate While Your Chef Handles Everything
On the day, your chef arrives with all ingredients and any assistants needed. They set up, cook, plate, and serve each course. After the last toast, the kitchen is cleaned and left spotless.

What's 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.
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
"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.
