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.
