How Much Does a Private Chef Near You in Utrecht Cost?
ChefMaison allows you to discuss directly with chefs around Utrecht 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.

Reviews of our chefs and caterers around Utrecht
Sander
I recently had the pleasure of booking Chef Raffael, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the very beginning, I really appreciated the clear communication. The menu he proposed was spot on, perfectly tailored to our tastes, and absolutely delicious. Raffael makes everything from scratch and takes the time to explain how each dish is prepared, giving us a real insight into his craft. He strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and a relaxed, friendly vibe. I’ll definitely be booking him again in the future. Highly recommended!

Merlin and Sebastiaan are two very warm and professional chefs with a great passion for food. Yesterday, they provided a fantastic vegan buffet during a networking event, and everything was perfect down to the last detail. We ate incredibly well and enjoyed it thoroughly! Merlin and Sebastiaan: thank you for your amazing care!
Maria
Een absoluut onvergetelijke ervaring, erg goed eten, mooie wijnen, fantastische service. Ik kan niet anders dan op alle punten een excellente score geven. Dit is zeker voor herhaling vatbaar en de "word of mouth" verspreid zich al via de 18 gasten. Zelf al meerdere aanbevelingen gedaan aan vrienden. Merlin en Sebastiaan geweldig gewoon!
Anouk
Super goed gedaan! Hele kleine keuken waarin hij werkzaam kon zijn. Lekker gegeten. Bijpassende wijn ook, alleen net niet alle wijnen waren helemaal lekker. Maar super tevreden! Knap gekookt
Vincent
Grappige en spontane chef - en ook heel lekker gegeten!
Beverly
Chef Sherwin was an absolute start! On Valentines Day, he prepared the most delicious, exciting and interesting menu for a group of my guests. The experience was so wonderful with every person genuinely enjoying every course. We appreciated him cooking for us an plan to reach out again for another dining experience. 10 stars all round, Sherwin is awesome!
Yara
Vooraf had ik geen idee wat we precies konden verwachten maar het overtrof eigenlijk al m'n vetwachtingen. Het eten was heerlijk, prachtig opgemaakt & ook het bijpassende wijnarrangement was lekker. Heel bijzonder om te ervaren hoe er in je eigen keuken zulke lekkere gerechten worden bereid. We kregen vooraf een playlist opgestuurd die ons alvast in de sfeer bracht en na afloop was de hele keuken weer opgeruimd alsof er niks gebeurd was. Een toprestaurant-ervaring in je eigen huis, echt een aanrader!
Nele
Super ervaring, goede communicatie en lekker eten!
Roosmarie
Prettige communicatie via de app en telefoon. Het eten werd zeer gewaardeerd door de gasten. Chef Marjoleine had rekening gehouden met mijn verjaardag en een speciaal dessert voor mij gemaakt. Super gezellige avond om nooit te vergeten!
Carolien
We hebben een geweldige ervaring gehad met Ariënne, ze had zelf voor al het eten gezorgd en zelfs een extra helpende hand. Het voelde echt alsof we in een restaurant waren waar ze voor ons kookten. maar nu was het veel ontspannende en rustiger omdat er geen gehaast was. Het eten was heerlijk en ze hield goed rekening met de wensen van ons wat top was, ook voor een kleine aanpassing was het niet erg. Wij hebben erg genoten en we hopen dat ze haar dromen waar kan maken!! Liefs de 6-vriendinnen van vriendinnenweekend :)

Valentine was marvellous. Food was amazing and a big surprise. The kitchen was spotless when Aaron left and our bellies were full. I know what we are going to do for Valentine next year!!
