FAQ

What types of gatherings do you service?

Services are available for private dinners, dinner parties, luncheons, celebratory events, micro-weddings, retreats, glamping, and creative gatherings.

How does private chef service differ from catering?

A private chef is a culinary professional who prepares meals in a client’s home, yacht, or venue. Unlike caterers who prepare and deliver food in bulk from stock menus, private chefs create a more intimate and experiential space with tailored menus based on the client’s vision, style, preferences, and purpose for the gathering.

Do you offer private chef and catering services?

Yes! Kitchen Fairy performs all “in-house” private chef services. For clients who prefer off-site preparation, we work with our network of trusted caterers to provide you with a hybrid artisanal culinary experience to bring you the best of both worlds.

Is event planning required with private chef services?

Not at all — our services are flexible. You can choose private chef or event services alone or combined for an all-inclusive experience.

How far in advance should I book?

To ensure availability and a thoughtful, relaxed planning experience, we recommend inquiring at least six weeks in advance for smaller gatherings and at least three months in advance for larger gatherings.

Do you offer sample menus?

You can find a few sample menus on our home page. These are general menus designed to give you a snapshot of our style and help you dream of possibilities. We’ll share curated, personalized menu options after your initial inquiry, during the planning process.

Can you accommodate dietary preferences?

Absolutely! Every experience and menu is tailored to meet dietary restrictions and preferences without compromising flavor or elegance.

Where do you travel?

We service Washington D.C., Montgomery County and Eastern Shore Maryland, Northern and Central Virginia. Select travel bookings available upon request.

How does your pricing work?

Pricing depends on the scope and scale of your gathering. Factors include but are not limited to guest count, aesthetic, vendors, venue, and enhancements. During your initial consultation you will be given a general cost range based on your vision for the gathering. A formal personalized proposal will be given once details of your celebration have been refined.
