How booking a bachelorette chef works
Three steps from request to dinner on the table.
Tell us about the weekend
City, date, group size, the meal you want and any allergies. It takes about two minutes.
Compare chefs and menus
Local chefs send proposals with menus and prices. Ask questions and tweak the menu in your inquiry.
Enjoy the party
The chef shops, cooks at your rental, serves and leaves the kitchen clean.
What a private chef can do for your bachelorette weekend
Most groups book one or two of these. Mix and match across the weekend.
Welcome-night dinner
A sit-down, family-style or plated dinner for the first night, while everyone is together and dressed up.
Recovery brunch
Eggs, pancakes, fruit and mimosas served at the house the morning after a big night out.
Cocktail bites & grazing table
Passed bites or a grazing board before heading out, so nobody goes out hungry.
Cooking class
An interactive class where the group cooks with the chef: pasta, sushi, tacos or a Hill Country wine dinner.

Private chef vs bachelorette party catering
Both feed the group. The difference is who does the work once the food arrives.
| Private chef | Drop-off catering | |
|---|---|---|
| Where food is made | Cooked fresh in your rental | Cooked off-site, delivered in trays |
| Service | Chef serves each course | Self-serve |
| Cleanup | Included, kitchen left clean | Usually on you |
| Menu | Custom, around every diet in the group | Set menu options |
| Feels like | A private restaurant night at the house | A buffet |
For groups of 6 to 20, a chef can cost about the same per person as full-service catering. See private chef pricing for what each package covers.

Planning tips from our chefs
- Book early for peak weekends. March to May and September to November fill fastest. Request 3–6 weeks out.
- Pick the right meal. Dinner on the first night works best; brunch the morning after is the easiest win.
- Share the kitchen details. Number of burners, oven, grill and dining space help the chef plan. A photo of the kitchen is perfect.
- Collect diets up front. One message to the group about allergies saves last-minute changes.
- Check the house rules. Some rentals limit guests or late-night noise; plan dinner timing around them.
Bachelorette party chef FAQs
How much does a private chef for a bachelorette party cost?
On Platesfull, a private chef for a bachelorette party costs $90 to $125 per person for a casual family-style dinner, $125 to $175 for a plated fine-dining menu, and $175 or more for a luxury tasting menu. Minimum spend is $500, $600 or $800 depending on the package. Groceries, cooking, serving and cleanup are included.
Is a private chef better than bachelorette party catering?
Catering usually drops food off in trays and leaves. A private chef cooks at your rental, serves the group and cleans the kitchen, so the bride and guests stay at the table. For groups of 6 to 20, a chef can cost about the same per person as full-service catering.
Can the chef cook at our Airbnb or vacation rental?
Yes. Airbnb and VRBO rentals are where most bachelorette groups stay, and that is where the chef cooks. The chef brings the groceries and any special equipment, works in the rental kitchen and leaves it clean. Share the house rules and kitchen details when you request a quote.
How far in advance should we book a bachelorette party chef?
Book 3 to 6 weeks ahead for spring and fall weekends, which are the busiest bachelorette seasons. Two weeks can work in quieter months. Requesting early also gives the chef time to plan a custom menu.
Can the chef handle dietary needs in the group?
Yes. Tell us about allergies and diets (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free) when you request a quote. The chef plans the menu around them so nobody gets a separate, lesser plate.
What meals can a personal chef cover during the weekend?
Popular bookings are a welcome-night dinner, a recovery brunch the morning after, cocktail-hour bites or a grazing table before going out, and an interactive cooking class. Many groups book two meals in one weekend.
Do we need to tip the chef?
Tipping is not required on Platesfull. Pricing is transparent and includes the chef's service, so you can budget the weekend up front.
