FAQs
- Can the chef make a birthday or anniversary cake?
- Many can, or they’ll plate a dessert you provide. Mention it in the brief so the menu and timing leave room for it.
- What’s the difference between a birthday dinner and a dinner party?
- The cooking is the same craft. Celebration briefs usually include a guest of honor, a toast, and a slightly longer evening — chefs plan the pacing around that.
- How far ahead should I book an anniversary dinner?
- Two weeks is comfortable. Popular Saturday nights and holiday weekends fill faster, so start a request as soon as you have a date.
