I would have checked all of the boxes if it didn't limit me to 3! I contacted Matt at Vermont Foodie Stand at the beginning of this year to plan a dinner for a group of 13 close family and friends for my wedding day. My fiancé(now wife!) and I had never planned a private formal even like this, and had no idea where to start. Matt was absolutely amazing with helping us plan our special dinner. He helped us build a menu that accommodated all of our guests, and was absolutely delicious! We rented a property in North Woostock, and Matt came to the house and cooked one of the most beautiful meals I have ever seen for 13 people having access to a single grill and stove! When the wedding pictures come in, I will post update photos of the meals, but Matt provided us with a delicious Vermont Artisinal Cheese & Charcuterie board, crackers, dried fruit & nuts for the guests to snack on while they were arriving. We then started the dinner with Stuffed mushrooms, local ground beef, chevre & honey served on truffle mashed potatoes & arugula salad topped by a shallot honey red wine vinaigrette. I am personally not a fan of Mushrooms, but my new wife loved them, along with the guests, but the beef inside was incredible! Along with the truffle mashed potatoes, which were so delicious! For the entrées, Matt cooked a combination of NY strip steaks, roasted Statler chicken breasts, and baked haddock along with cottage fries, slow baked tomatoes, and a sauce for each meal. (Matt even accommodated the pickier eaters and provided the sauces on the side for those who wished to add it. He arrived at 2pm to prepare for our scheduled dinner at 7pm, and Matt delivered right on time! To come into a house you've only seen in photos for the first time, and cook an absolutely amazing tasting and amazingly plated meal with everything tasting like it just popped out of the oven or off of the grill takes talent, and Matt did not disappoint! He even saved us with some last minute necessities like picking up matching plates and other dinnerware, napkins and tablecloths so everything looked beautiful in our wedding photos. He even cut cut and served our wedding cake for us! Matt and his assistant cleaned up the entirety of the dinner, and the kitchen prior to heading out as well. I can't express enough how happy I am with the service he provided, and how amazing our meal was! Though there were many hiccups during our day, our dinner was not a cause of any of them! I would highly recommend Matt for private chef services. He is worth every penny, and you will not regret your decision! When our wedding photos are finished, I Will update with photos of our amazing meal!

NYE with Chef Matt Wow! What can I say? Chef Matt provided a delicious NYE & 40th birthday celebration for 16 of us! He developed an outstanding kids menu for the kid guests that they all raved about (and they are a picky crowd). The adult menu was perfection. Everything was not only beautiful but also delicious. Matt was so easy to work with- he was flexible and even up for a challenge. When the house we were renting at Okemo had the oven go out- he came up with a great plan to utilize some air fryers and the party was saved. He made us the most memorable night and did everything from start to finish including leaving the kitchen spotless. I can’t recommend Matt enough - we all felt truly spoiled and memories of this special night we will have forever.

I am writing to share with you a positive experience I had with Vermont Foodie Stand, Matt, he provides a delicious, custom and accommodating meals for myself and 6 other females that have a palate for food. In working with Vermont Foodie Stand, Matt, I recall this past weekend, May 2021. I remember explaining that there was a slight vegan, seafood and lactose allergy. He was able to modify on the go and custom meals to accommodate each guest. Upon the initial meeting of Matt and his young assistant Nate they have always been readily open to change and friendly. The meeting of two minds building custom meals. In addition to the meal preparation and planning in the rental home, Matt as a personal chef was a delight. My dealing with him and his staff has given me cause to state the following: 1. That we view him with respect as he has shown that he is responsive to change. 2. That he is doing everything with amazing professionalism. I hope you will readily see the merit of this review and will act accordingly. As I am highly recommending Vermont Foodie Stand for your most intimate or grandeur social events.
