Celebrate Every Occasion
Pricing & Service Standards
A five-star private chef experience, designed with transparent pricing and elevated service.
We bring the restaurant to you — into your home, Airbnb, or private vacation rental.
How Our Pricing Works
Occasions By M is a chef-led, service-first company. Our pricing is designed to be simple, transparent, and respectful of both your investment and our professional standards. Each experience is built from three core elements:
Experience Tier (Per Person)
This is your curated dining experience — the restaurant-level service brought into your space.
You select from our Metal-Tiered Experiences (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum / Solomon’s Table).
Each tier has a per person rate and a minimum guest count.
This covers the design of your experience, chef-led execution, and the overall caliber of service associated with that tier.
Food Cost
Food cost is billed separately so that your menu can be fully customized.
We design a menu around your preferences, dietary needs, and occasion. Then we provide an estimated food cost based on the ingredients required, any premium or specialty items, and your selected tier.
This protects you from hidden markups and allows us to source the best possible ingredients without compromising quality.
Service & Staffing
Your event is supported by a professional hospitality team to ensure a seamless, five-star experience.
Staffing may include:
-
Executive Chef
-
Assistant / Sous Chef
-
Service Staff
-
Event Captain / Manager
-
Bartender / Mixologist (when requested)
Staff are billed hourly based on role and event needs. For full transparency, we provide a separate Service & Staffing Standards sheet showing expected minimum hours and roles required by guest count and service style.
Service & Staffing
Every experience is supported by a professional hospitality team. To sustain the standards of a five-star private chef service, certain roles and minimums apply.
In most events, staffing includes an Executive Chef and at least one service team member. Larger or more complex experiences require additional staff and an Event Captain to manage timeline, logistics, and guest flow.
For full transparency, we provide a detailed Service & Pricing Standards document that outlines:
-
Hourly rates by role
-
Minimum hours per role
-
Recommended staffing by guest count
