How Much Does a Private Chef Cost?

Long-Term Placements

Hourly rates for our private chefs in long-term placements typically range from $50 per hour to $77 per hour pre-tax. 

A private chef that works full or part-time with one household has typically had culinary training or worked in recognized establishments. Their responsibility is to prepare meals in the home for the client. They are able to accommodate dietary restrictions and create a fully customized menu. A predetermined budget is set by the client and the chef handles the grocery shopping, cleanup and storing leftovers.

Special Events

For a small dinner party, you can expect to pay around $200-$300 for a private chef experience. For a larger event, such as a wedding or corporate function, the cost will be much higher. 

Of course, the cost of a private chef for an event depends on the size of the event, the number of courses, and the menu. My Household Managed offers competitive rates for private chef services and we’ll ensure you’re taken care of every step of the way as you hire and host with your private chef.
