Congratulations to all the couples finally celebrating their special day in this 2021 wedding season. When it comes to wedding food, most couples think of hiring a traditional catering company. While many personal chefs aren’t specifically caterers, our team at Honest to Goodness is very experienced in preparing appetizers, dinners, and more for intimate wedding gatherings at your home or other venues. When you hire Honest to Goodness for your wedding event in the greater Seattle area, you will enjoy a personalized experience to celebrate you and your partner, and impress your guests!
Personal Chef vs Caterer
So, what’s the difference between hiring a personal chef for a wedding event vs a caterer? When you hire a caterer, food is made in a commercial kitchen that you can’t see. You don’t know who is making your food and you don’t know the cleanliness of the facility. Depending on the size of your group, oftentimes elements of catered food are prepped up to a few days before the event. And then your food must be transported safely to your venue in a time-and-temperature sensitive manner. A personal chef works in your home or venue’s kitchen to make your meal super fresh right in front of you and your guests. It can also be a fun opportunity for your guests to engage with and learn from your chef.
Just like a traditional caterer, Honest to Goodness can coordinate with your Seattle wedding planner to make sure we integrate seamlessly with the plans and schedules for your big day(s). We also think of the little details that make wedding events flow, like ensuring that the wedding couple has plates of their favorite food sent to them first. Then they can focus on their guests throughout the event. We’ll even bring them seconds too! Honest to Goodness also works with other vendors like print shops for your menu cards, florists, photographers, and more!
