How early should we book a private chef for the holidays? – Book as early as possible.

Family celebrating the holidays

Book as early as possible, ideally 6–8 weeks before Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, with Your Private Chefs to secure your date, chef, and custom menu.


Peak Dates Sell Out Fast – Secure Your Spot

Holiday weekends and the surrounding days go first. Early booking locks your preferred time and avoids waitlists. It also gives our team room to coordinate rentals or extra staff if needed. Late inquiries often mean limited time windows or trimmed menus.


Tailored Menus Take Time – Get Exactly What You Want

A holiday menu is bespoke. We design each course around your tastes, theme, and budget. Booking early allows tastings, revisions, and sourcing of premium ingredients. You get the food you envisioned without last-minute substitutions.


Dietary Needs Covered – No Stress, No Guesswork

Gluten-free, vegan, kosher-style, and allergy-aware service require planning. Extra lead time lets us validate suppliers, set up separate prep, and confirm cross-contact controls. Guests stay safe and quality stays high.


Smooth Logistics – Rentals, Staffing, and Timeline

Demand for rentals, florals, and servers spikes in November and December. Early booking lets Your Private Chefs reserve inventory, map your kitchen flow, and finalize a precise service timeline. The result is hot plates on schedule and zero chaos in your home.


Transparent Pricing – Lock In Scope and Availability

Rates reflect date demand, travel, and menu complexity. Reserving early clarifies scope and prevents rush surcharges. A deposit with Your Private Chefs secures your culinary team and ingredients. No surprises.
