How Much Does a Private Chef Near You in Leeuwarden Cost?
ChefMaison allows you to discuss directly with chefs around Leeuwarden and receive personalized quotes based on your unique preferences and budget, so every event is customized to your exact needs. Since every ChefMaison event is unique - there's no fixed pricing. However, we offer indication prices ranging from €59 to €194 per person for weekend bookings for 4 courses, depending on the menu and services selected.
What's included in our indication prices:
- Groceries and menu ingredients - you don't need to do any shopping or preparation
- Chef preparation time and service during your event (cooking, plating, serving, and cleanup)
To make their event even more memorable, many of our clients choose extra options such as:
- Extra courses, such as cheese platters, luxury amuses, wine pairings, and cocktails
- Premium ingredients like wagyu, oysters, caviar, or Kobe beef
- Children menus or special dietary requests
- Servers for larger groups (usually for 10+ guests)
- Equipment rentals (tables, heaters, fancy tableware, fireworks 🎇 etc.)
Tips for reducing the costs on your private chef experience
- Booking during the week is an excellent way to save money, as many chefs offer weekday discounts for events.
- The price per person decreases as the number of guests increases, making it more affordable for larger groups.
- Book early: Booking your private chef well in advance gives you more time to discuss your preferences and budget, allowing you to secure the best chef at the best price. This also avoids premium prices during high-demand seasons and holidays or weekends.
You have the flexibility to work directly with your chef to create a completely personalized experience, whether you're planning a casual dinner with friends or a lavish celebration. Whatever your vision, ChefMaison ensures your event will be exactly as you imagine it because you have direct contact with your personal chef.

Because of a cancellation we had to change our plans last minute. Aaron was responing very quick and was flexible, this saved our night/dinner. Dinner was nice and Aaron is very easygoing. He took us on a Journey with different courses, all coming with a nice explanation/story.

Het was een erg fijne avond. We hadden een workshop aangevraagd, maar ivm de kleine woonkamer en keuken van onze vakantiewoning was dit niet geheel goed uitvoerbaar. Dit hebben we vooraf ook met elkaar besproken. Knap hoe Jan in een kleine keuken toch een heerlijk menu heeft kunnen maken en alles zo netjes heeft kunnen houden! Jan was erg prettig in contact en kon veel vertellen over de gerechten en bijpassende wijnen.

We zijn erg blij met wat Dante heeft gekookt. Hij werd door ons uitgedaagd om ook met een plantaardig 'vleesgerecht' te komen en dat heeft hij geweldig gedaan. De wine paring was helemaal top! Bovendien is Dante heel aardig en bescheiden. Dus een prachtige combinatie van lekker eten met een prettige chef.

We had a surprise dinner of 8 people for my wife's 60th birthday. Jelte helped making it a festive and unforgettable event. He came on time, prepared the dining table and quickly made himself home in the open kitchen. The 4 courses were without exception excellent, fine dining. Throughout the dinner he was present without being obtrusive and had a good feeling for when to contribute to the discussions. At the end he cleaned the whole dining room and kitchen. The whole experience was excellent and we can wholeheartedly recommend Jelte to anyone seeking a Chef at home.

Great food. It was easy to contact Platon and discuss our wishes. He’s very easy going but also discreet. If I ever do the home coocking again I wil definitely call Platon. Fantastic chef!

We loved the experience with chef Elizabeth! I booked a dinner for a surprise birthday party with my friends and chef Elisabeth delivered a great experience. She was flexible, communicated quickly and was very fun to be around, she was perfect for our party. Key highlights were the ajo blanco soup and the main meal (meat dish) and a nice sharing desert experience. I highly recommend her! Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the meals!

Aaron was super nice and super friendly. I wasn’t feeling great that day and he was so kind a really supportive. He went out of his was to still help me have a good day. The food was amazing and respected the wishes. Communication was also perfect.

De communicatie met Simone ging heel erg goed en prettig, hij reageert snel en had (ondanks lastige dieet-wensen) binnen no time een mooi menu voor ons samengesteld. De boeking was last minute, maar dat merkte je nergens aan. Op de avond zelf was het eten heerlijk en ging alles naar wens. Simone is absoluut een aanrader als je een goede Italiaanse chef zoekt!

🇳🇱 Enschede, 2025-09-14
Het was een geweldige avond! We hebben heerlijk gegeten in een knusse en fijne setting. Simone heeft een heerlijk 5 gangen diner neer gezet en goed rekening gehouden met intoleranties. Hij zorgde voor een relaxte sfeer en vertelde op een leuke manier over het eten met bijpassende wijnen! Het was heerlijk! Dit gaan we zeker nog een keer doen

Wij hebben een heerlijk 5 gangen diner gehad, ter ere van de 70e verjaardag van mijn schoonvader. Fay is ontzettend lief en vrolijk en kookt de sterren van de hemel. Kortom, een hele mooie ervaring.

This was a phenomenal experience! We really enjoyed the superb quality of Merlin & Sebastiaan's menu in the comfort and intimacy of our own home. Presentation was excellent. Food quality and creativity was great, with good consideration to dietary restrictions. Communication was smooth and the overall experience was absolutely 5 stars. Thank you, both - also for still fitting us into your schedule!!

🇳🇱 Nijmegen, 2025-10-01
De ervaring in twee woorden: Écht fantastisch! We hebben ontzettend genoten van een heel smaakvolle avond, die tot in de puntjes verzorgd was. Ook de moeite en energie die gestopt werd in het allergie-vrij maken van het menu; wauw! 🩷 In de toekomst gaan we zeker weer aan je denken. Dank dank dank!

I link each dish back to my own name, so I make sure that each dish is prepared with the highest precision and leaves the kitchen. After years of working in several high-end restaurants in the Netherlands where everything is about finesse, taste and fresh products, I am ready to put this experience on the map worldwide.Favorite of guests
