A bachelorette dinner worth talking about.
A private multi-course meal for your group, prepared and served at your rental or home. I handle the food. You handle the fun.
Red Seal certified · 5-star rated · 100+ Halifax events
You're planning a bachelorette. You want it to be memorable. You want the bride to feel celebrated. And you definitely don't want to spend the evening arguing over a restaurant reservation for 12.
Here's what usually happens: someone suggests cooking at the Airbnb, and suddenly you're buying groceries, prepping food, and cleaning up while everyone else is having a good time. Or you book a restaurant, wait 45 minutes for a table, and split a bill that nobody's happy about.
Neither of those is the evening you had in mind.
A private dinner experience built for bachelorette groups.
I come to your location, cook a full multi-course meal from my seasonal menu, and handle everything from grocery shopping to cleanup. The bride gets a night she'll remember. You get credit for planning it.
Available for groups of 6 to 16 guests anywhere in Nova Scotia.

Seasonal Menu Dinner
Choose from my current seasonal menus for the main meal. Fresh ingredients, cooked from scratch in your kitchen on the night.
Custom Hors d'Oeuvre for the Bride
I'll send a short form about the bride's preferences before the event. I use it to create a custom hors d'oeuvre that kicks off the evening. The main meal comes from the seasonal menu. The hors d'oeuvre is the part made just for her.
A Gift for the Bride
A small gift, plus a handwritten note from me. Presented at the end of the meal. Simple, personal, and a nice way to end the evening.
Everything Else Handled
Grocery shopping, cooking, plating, serving, and cleanup. I bring everything I need. When I leave, the kitchen is cleaner than I found it.
