What’s it like to hire a private chef?
-
I offer private chef and catering services. Your experience is highly customizable, from being your live in chef for your vacation to catering for your big party. No matter what the event, you can expect me to be on sight for the duration and actively cooking during the event.
-
All the food, of course. Beyond that, customized menus, table scapes, floral arrangements, serving dishes and serving ware is all included in pricing. As well as leaving your kitchen tidy and broken down after service. Add ons available for additional costs.
-
High level customization. Local, seasonal food sourced from Maine’s agriculture and aquaculture. Made from the hands of someone who really really cares about your experience. My goals as a chef are simple: high quality food that feels like your in a restaurant (everything always scratch made), building unforgettable experiences and memories, and letting guests enjoy the wonders we find around the table.

Take it from the clients-
“From our very first planning call, I knew we were in great hands. She took the time to understand the vision for the evening, helped curate the perfect seasonal menu, accommodated multiple dietary restrictions…..The entire evening felt effortless. Syd managed every detail seamlessly, kept everything running perfectly on time, and handled every bit of setup and cleanup without needing anything from our group. As the bride, I was able to be completely present with my friends instead of worrying about logistics, and that was such a gift.”
“Syd herself was such a joy to have with us. She brought such a warm, calming energy that instantly put everyone at ease. She felt less like someone we hired and more like the perfect addition to our girls' weekend... professional, fun, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making the evening special.”
“Sydney was absolutely incredible to work with for the private dinner party…She went above and beyond to create a thoughtful menu that accommodated everyone's preferences…On the day of the event, everything flowed seamlessly, from cocktails through dessert. The food was not only beautifully presented but absolutely delicious. The dinner ended up being one of the highlights of the weekend, and everyone commented on how much they loved it. I would absolutely hire Sydney again for a private dinner party and recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable, stress-free experience.”
