Introduction

'The energy of the room; setting the stage. Everything that goes into planning a dinner party - the food, the decor, the dress, the music, the lighting - all contribute to the mood of the event. I always tell my clients to imagine the end result of the party and how they would like their guests to feel in order to perfectly curate the evening they envision.'

Working with Daneen was great and easy. The food was delicious for our almost vegan, multiple allergy group of 30. There were many delicious food options to choose from when creating the menu. She printed out beautiful menus. We truly enjoyed the experience. Thank you

Daneen and her team were honestly incredible, everything from logistically planning with her leading up to my event to actually coordinating, cooking, and cleaning the day of. I asked her to cater an all vegan dinner for 8 people and a few days before showed up with 11 people. She easily adjusted (brought staff with her) and seriously went with our flow of the evening. We exchanged only 4-5 emails total about the plan and the menu and she absolutely nailed it. I've been planning a wedding and my caterers have needed at least 40-50 emails going back and forth, but Daneen knew exactly what to do. She is spectacular and I wish I could have hired her for my actual wedding. After the event one of the attendees asked for her contact info to see if she could cater their vegan wedding because she was truly that outstanding. I can't recommend Daneen and her team more.

Details: Regular meal • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Asian • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Daneen created an amazing brunch menu for our best friend’s surprise 40th birthday. The food was not only delicious but was presented beautifully. She also timed her dishes to be ready when the birthday girl arrived. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and friendliness is why she has such glowing reviews. I highly recommend her for your private event!

This was my first experience of having a personal chef prepare a meal for a very special event--a family gathering on the day after Christmas and included 12 adults and 6 children (ages 3 to 18). Daneen did exactly what I wanted and expected. She arrived on-time and after a brief tour of our kitchen, she went to work. She was fully equipped with her own tools. My guest were impressed with her efficiency and skills as she prepared Prime Rib, Leg of Lamb, and Pork loin, using our brand new double oven for the first time. She had somewhat limited counter space but managed to make it work seamlessly. Dinner was served "buffet style," without a single hitch and On-time too. Food was excellent and compliments were heard from everyone, even from the children (for her mac-n-cheese). Overall, this was a great meal and complimented our family gathering perfectly. Daneen blended with my guests as if one of them. She answered their questions about various foods and displayed a congenial and friendly demeanor. She even cleaned up and neatly packaged all the leftovers in plastic container for our enjoyment later. This was an excellent first-time experience for all of us. I highly recommend Daneen Green as your next personal chef. Well Done Daneen!! Colonel Mike, USAF, Retired
