Planner's guide

DELGADO & CO. PRIVATE CHEF AND CATERING – EVENT PLANNER RESOURCE

PART 1: PLANNER INSIGHT

Best For: Intimate dinner parties and small gatherings (under 50 guests), corporate business meals and executive lunches, private celebrations requiring personalized menu curation, multi-course tasting events with specialized dietary accommodations

What planners usually like:

  • Personalized menu planning means you're not locked into standard package options—the chef works with your vision and guest preferences
  • Extended hours (9 AM–11 PM) Tuesday through Saturday accommodate both daytime events and evening celebrations, reducing scheduling constraints
  • Direct communication with the culinary team during planning reduces miscommunication and allows for mid-planning adjustments
  • Private chef services eliminate the need for external kitchen facilities, making home or venue-based events more seamless

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm whether pricing includes staffing for plating/service or if you need to arrange additional servers separately
  • Ask about minimum guest counts or event minimums—private chef services often have thresholds that affect overall cost
  • Discuss whether they provide equipment (chafing dishes, serving utensils, linens) or if you're responsible for event logistics
  • Verify their approach to dietary restrictions and allergen protocols, especially if managing guests with complex requirements

Common questions

How far in advance should I book Delgado & Co. for my event?

Private chef services in Vancouver typically require 2–4 weeks advance notice for menu planning and ingredient sourcing, though they may accommodate shorter timelines depending on availability. Contact them directly at +1 778-871-1672 to discuss your specific timeline and confirm booking feasibility.

Do they handle events outside of East Vancouver, or are they limited to their location area?

Delgado & Co. serves customers across Vancouver, meaning they travel to your event venue rather than requiring you to host at their location. This is typical for private chef services and gives you flexibility in choosing your event space.

What happens if a guest has a last-minute dietary restriction or allergy?

Before booking, clarify their policy on dietary modifications. Most professional catering teams can accommodate common restrictions (vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free), but significant changes requested day-of may incur additional fees or may not be possible depending on ingredient prep stage.

Are they equipped to handle larger events, or should I use them only for intimate dinners?

Their description emphasizes intimate gatherings and personalized service, suggesting they excel with smaller events. For parties over 75–100 guests, confirm their capacity and whether they'd need to bring in additional staff or if they'd recommend alternative options.

How is pricing structured—per person, flat fee, or hourly rate?

They require you to contact them for pricing, which is standard for customized private chef services. Expect to discuss guest count, menu complexity, service style (chef-prepared plated service vs. family-style), and staffing needs to receive an accurate quote.

Can they work with dietary preferences beyond standard allergies, like vegan or keto menus?

Most professional chefs can adapt menus for various dietary philosophies, but discuss this during your consultation. Specialized diets may require additional planning time or ingredient sourcing, potentially affecting your quote.
