Planner's guide

Your Private Chef — Event Planner Resources

Best For: Corporate functions and team events, intimate private dinner parties, milestone celebrations (weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays), and cocktail receptions requiring professional food service.

What planners usually like:

  • Personalized menu consultation process allows clients to align catering with specific dietary requirements, cultural preferences, and event themes rather than selecting from rigid preset menus
  • Professional kitchen setup and staffing reduces coordination burden on the event planner, as the catering team manages food preparation, plating, and service logistics
  • Direct relationship with the chef/owner enables mid-planning adjustments and problem-solving without navigating multiple layers of management
  • Quality-focused approach typically results in guests remembering the food experience positively, reducing post-event complaints about catering

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm whether pricing includes staffing for service and cleanup, or if this is an additional cost that should be budgeted separately
  • Establish the minimum guest count required for bookings and whether there are surcharges for smaller events or last-minute bookings
  • Verify which locations they service within Melbourne (delivery distance, venue setup fees) and whether they can accommodate kitchens with limited equipment or outdoor event spaces
  • Ask about their policy for dietary accommodations, food allergies, and whether they maintain separate preparation areas for allergen-free meals

Common questions

How far in advance should I book Your Private Chef for my corporate event?

Most professional catering services require 2-4 weeks' notice for menu planning and ingredient sourcing, though larger events or specific seasonal requirements may need 6-8 weeks. Contact them directly at +61 497 333 100 to check availability for your specific date, as weekend and peak season slots fill quickly in Melbourne.

Can Your Private Chef accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies?

Yes, they specialize in tailored menus, which means dietary requirements, allergies, and cultural food preferences can be incorporated. When inquiring, provide a detailed list of all dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, nut allergies, etc.) so they can confirm whether they can safely prepare compliant meals and discuss any necessary precautions.

What's included in the catering price—is it just food, or does it include service staff and setup?

The vendor description doesn't specify what's bundled in their pricing model. Before booking, ask explicitly whether the quote includes plating/service staff, bartending, rentals (plates, cutlery, glassware), setup, and cleanup, as these items significantly impact your total event budget.

Can Your Private Chef work with my venue, or do they have preferred locations?

Most private chefs operate flexibly across multiple venues, but you should confirm they've worked at your specific location and understand its kitchen facilities, parking, and setup constraints. Ask whether they charge venue setup fees or require a minimum space for food preparation.

How does the menu consultation process work, and can I request specific dishes or cuisines?

They work closely with clients to design custom menus, which means you can propose specific cuisines, signature dishes, or themes. Schedule a consultation call during business hours (Mon-Sat, 8 AM–5 PM) to discuss your vision, budget constraints, and guest count so they can provide a tailored proposal.

What happens if my guest count changes close to the event date?

Clarify their policy on final headcount confirmation deadlines and whether changes within 5-7 days before the event incur penalties. Understanding their flexibility on last-minute adjustments helps prevent overpaying for unused food or underestimating quantities.
