Wedding & Engagement
Lyon.

Wedding catering is the most consequential food decision most people make. It is also the most frequently compromised — a venue caterer running buffets for three hundred people on squeezed margins. A private chef for a smaller wedding, an engagement dinner, or a pre-wedding family gathering is a different category entirely.

For a seated dinner of ten to forty guests, a private chef brings a level of execution that event catering cannot. Each course is plated individually. The timing is controlled by a professional whose entire focus is your table. Dietary requirements are handled course-by-course rather than as an afterthought.

Most wedding bookings on UpChef are for engagement dinners, family celebration dinners the week of the wedding, or intimate reception dinners of twenty to thirty people. If you are planning a larger event, book early — the best chefs fill three to four months in advance for weddings.
