Chef

Cook the reception meal fresh, on location.

$350 flat per reception cooked
A place setting with flowers

You cook the reception meal at the couple's stay — usually the Airbnb near the venue — from the groceries the studio ordered. The catering role sets out what you cook. Contractor-first by design, hired local to the venue rather than traveled out.

What you would do

  • Plan the cook against the approved menu and the delivered groceries
  • Cook the meal on site, timed to the reception
  • Leave the kitchen the way the stay expects it back

What you need

  • Professional cooking experience — restaurant, catering or private-chef
  • Food handler's card
  • Comfortable working an unfamiliar kitchen alone

$350 flat per reception cooked

  • Included inside the reception package price; never billed to the couple as its own line.
  • Local to the venue — this role does not travel with the studio.

Why that number: Private chefs around DFW quote $60-120 a head for dinner parties because they also shop and plan the menu; here the groceries and the menu arrive done, leaving the cook itself, which a flat $350 prices at the generous end of an evening's skilled work.

Paid within 7 days of the booking's balance settling, through the payout request in your panel. The studio does not pay out of a deposit it might still owe back, so payout follows settlement rather than the wedding date.
