Summer entertaining should feel joyful, not stressful. Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ in Atherton, an elegant garden party in Napa, or a last-minute al fresco dinner with friends, the real secret to a seamless event is simple: a personal chef and event staff are a must for summer entertaining.
Why More Hosts Are Hiring Personal Chefs
Gone are the days of spending your party in the kitchen. Today’s hosts are turning to personal chefs who bring not just culinary expertise but also a calm, polished presence to any event. A professional chef can craft a customized menu, accommodate dietary needs, and elevate the food experience from standard to sensational.
With Town + Country Resources, our chefs are vetted, experienced, and capable of managing everything from a plated dinner for 10 to a buffet for 50. Need inspiration? Browse our blog on hiring a private chef for tips on finding the right culinary fit for your event.
Event Helpers Keep the Party Flowing
Behind every successful gathering is a team of behind-the-scenes professionals. Event helpers handle everything from setting up tables and managing coat check to serving hors d’oeuvres and keeping glasses full. With their support, you can enjoy your guests—and your evening—without worrying about the cleanup or logistics.
Whether you’re working with a professional party planner or organizing a DIY event, hiring professional event staff ensures everything runs smoothly.
