We had an incredible experience with Chef Matt. First, his menu is extensive in fit and needs of everybody in our party. He arrived on time and set the tone for a great night with a perfect set of appetizers. The meal was then perfectly cooked and met with great approval for my party of 12 I would highly recommend Chef Matt for any function.

Reviews
Amazing! We had such a great experience with Chef Matthew. The Mexican dinner was absolutely delicious, and he made hosting so easy. The Al pastor was phenomenal! We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could actually relax and enjoy our guests. He took the “work out of hosting”. He was professional and friendly. The food, service, and overall experience were fantastic. We would definitely have him back again!
I can’t say enough great things about Matthew and his culinary skills, responsiveness and friendly professionalism. He gave us an amazing meal in less than 24 hours he had a menu and a whole bbq dinner with appetizers and a great mango cheesecake. Thank you Matthew for helping me make a great dinner party for our friends and family. And taking pictures of our family surrounding my 97 year old grandfather.
Chef Matt made this the easiest event I've hosted. Set-up, teardown, decor, everything was handled. The food was freshly made, delicious, and a huge hit!
Chef Matthew was so incredibly easy to work with, accommodating and the perfect way to add luxury and a special touch to my parent’s 50th anniversary celebration. We hired chef Matthew for brunch, appetizers and dinner and everything was incredible across the board - and this includes food for folks aged 20 months to 70 years old. We were so lucky to have his enthusiasm, kindness and professionalism with us all day! We can’t wait to work with chef Matthew again!
Chef Matt was amazing. He arrived with everything he needed for our family of 20! He was very personable and the food was delicious! The kids and adults raved about the food. He also cleaned the dishes and kitchen. I didn’t know what to expect and he exceeded my expectations!
Matthew was amazing every step of the way. I live in California and had to plan an event in Colorado, which I was anxious about until I found Matthew. He completely put my mind at ease with his responsiveness and professionalism. All of my guests loved the food and there was plenty of it. The tuna ceviche cups were a huge hit!
Chef Matthew was great to work with. The food he prepared was delicious with the freshest ingredients and cooked to perfection. I will definitely use Chef Matthew again.
Chef Matthew was a perfect fit for the galentines party I hosted! He made us an absolutely gorgeous meal that everyone loved, along with bringing a bartender who was also amazing. We will be hiring him again in the future!
Chef Matt is a delight to work with from start to finish. We hired him to cater a dinner with friends as a trial run for my upcoming wedding. He absolutely exceed our expectations in food presentation, taste, and portions. If you’re looking for a private chef for your next occasion, big or small, I would highly recommend Private Chef Events.
Brunch was so good! Great Chef!! Cant wait for our next one!
Chef Matthew was wonderful in every way!!! I really wanted my 18 yo son to have some foundational skills with cooking so that he could take care of his health and be self-sufficient in his life and not depend on the terrible stuff they call “food” out there in order to live. Chef Matthew agreed to do it and was so very accommodating! He came to our place and brought everything he needed and we had the lesson right here. It was fabulous! We all ate together what they cooked! So much fun. No one else out there was willing to do that and I think it speaks really highly of him and his dedication to his craft and sharing it with others. Can’t wait to do it again! We hope to do a few more lessons in the future!
Chef Matthew was truly exceptional. I reached out last minute for my holiday dinner party, and he not only accommodated the timeline with ease, but delivered an absolutely flawless experience. The food was incredibly thoughtful, beautifully prepared, and genuinely delicious across the board. He created two separate three-course menus, one vegan and one non-vegan, and both were equally impressive. Every guest felt considered and wowed. Beyond the food, Matthew was an absolute joy, warm, professional, calm, and effortless to work with. He elevated the entire evening and made hosting feel easy and fun. He is without question my go-to personal chef moving forward, and I cannot wait to have him cook for many more events. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend!!
Chef Matthew was amazing for my wife's birthday brunch! He tailored a brunch to our liking for a group of 6! It was a fun time and very convenient to have a private chef come to our Airbnb. Chef Matthew responsiveness was perfect and ensured we all had a great time! The food was amazing! Definitely recommend Chef Matthew to host your next gathering rather it is large or small!
Chef Matthew was incredible! First, he responded to the job super fast and I hadn’t given much notice for the party. I was so grateful. Then he came to the house exactly on time as he had promised. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and so professional. He became fast friends with us and our guests when they arrived. We had requested an Asian food menu and it was DELICIOUS! 2 appetizers and full hibachi dinner. My daughter’s 27th birthday party was a huge success and she LOVED having a high quality chef meal from Chef Matthew! Thank you Chef! We will definitely call you again. The Falbo’s
A flawless experience with Matt. From the first interaction to the end of the event, he exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly responsive, creative and thoughtful / every detail was excellent. The food was amazing and I got a huge amount of compliments from our guests. I highly highly recommend.
We used Chef Matthew for my bachelor party and he was phenomenal. His Mexican food was so fire, especially his elote street corn cups that we did for appetizers. His carne asada and al pastor tacos were also super good which had some avocado pico and habanero pineapple pico that really made them perfect. The tres leches cake cups were also great. He was super cool and chatted with us while he cooked and over all was just an awesome experience that only cost $700 for 11 hungry guys.
