“I hired Luxury Event Planning for my 30th Anniversary party at home. We had 25 people for a buffet dinner. I hired one server/bartender, Bradley, who was as sweet and hard-working as could be. Raj was there for the set-up and stayed through cocktail hour and serving dinner. Bradley stayed to the end and cleaned up everything, including packing up the leftovers in containers that I provided. My original plan for th…”
“Raj catered our New Year’s Eve event at our luxury condominium, where we hosted over 130 residents, and I truly cannot say enough great things about the experience. From start to finish, working with Raj was an absolute breeze. His professionalism, incredible eye for décor, and—most importantly—his genuine passion and care for his craft were evident in every detail. The event display was stunning, elevated, and be…”
“I can’t say enough about Luxury Event Planning & Catering. I became acquainted with them just from a google search & Raj reached out right away & asked if he could help me plan my event. He had suggestions & was so communicative…no one does customer service like this anymore! It was only a few weeks out from Christmas Eve & the thought of doing everything myself was weighing me down but I really wanted to host a f…”
“Raj and his Luxury Event Planning and Catering team did an absolutely phenomenal job catering a baby shower I attended this weekend in Boca Raton! From start to finish, every dish was not only visually stunning but also incredibly fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The quality of the food was outstanding, and every bite was delicious. What truly set them apart, though, was their exceptional service. They wen…”
“Raj! Thank you soooo very much for catering our event. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! Absolutely everyone was raving on about your Chicken Francese! The vegetables were perfection. The silky, mashed potatoes and the fettuccini were wonderful. Absolutely everything was exquisite. It was so tasty that nothing went to waste. We had the left overs for lunch the next day. The little menus that you printed added suc…”
“I have to say, I hardly ever take time for reviews but I’m stopping to rate Chef Raj with only 5 stars ‘cause there aren’t any more. Chef Raj was absolutely impeccable from start to finish. His communication was clear, constant, and professional. He was flexible with every change, incredibly accommodating, and carried the most pleasant, kind, and agreeable attitude throughout the entire process. The food? Outstand…”

Questions
Private Chef — FAQs
How much does a private chef cost in South Florida?
Pricing depends on the number of guests, courses and ingredients, plus service staff if you want servers. We quote per dinner after a short conversation about the menu.
Do you bring everything?
Yes — ingredients, equipment as needed and serving pieces. We work in your kitchen and leave it clean.
Can you cook on a yacht or in a vacation rental?
Yes. We regularly provision and cook aboard charters and in rental villas — see our yacht catering page.
Can you handle dietary needs and allergies?
Absolutely. Tell us at booking and the menu is designed around them.
How far in advance should I book?
Popular Saturdays, the holiday season and spring wedding dates book out weeks or months ahead in South Florida. Reach out as soon as you have a date — that said, we have delivered full events on as little as five hours' notice when our calendar allowed.
Are deposits refundable?
No. All payments, including deposits, are non-refundable because they reserve our team and equipment exclusively for your date, time and location. The full policy is on our Terms page.
