Bachelorette Party Chef
Shore Houses, Vacation Rentals & Girls Weekend Celebrations
Skip the overpriced restaurant with the long wait and the table crammed into a corner. Your bachelorette weekend deserves better — a private chef who comes to your shore house, vacation rental, or Airbnb and cooks an incredible meal while your group relaxes, celebrates, and actually enjoys each other's company.
Chef Matt brings the full private dining experience directly to wherever your group is staying. Whether it's a multi-course dinner on your first night, a late brunch before everyone heads home, or a cocktail-and-small-plates evening to kick off the weekend — we handle everything from menu planning and groceries to cooking, service, and cleanup.

Let's plan together
Minimum: 8-guest minimum · $1,000 for dinner / $1,200 for cooking class
Sample event total: 10 guests cooking class = $1,500 service + approximately $525–$750 in groceries, plus applicable sales tax and 20% gratuity.
No NJ sales tax when groceries are reimbursed. PA, SC, and other states collect applicable sales tax. 20% gratuity automatically applied to all parties over $1,000 — added to final bill or paid via cash/Venmo.
Groceries are billed separately from the chef service fee. Most events fall between 35% and 50% of the service total, depending on menu selections, course count, and ingredient level. Premium seafood, filet, and specialty ingredients typically fall on the higher end. New Jersey does not charge sales tax when groceries are reimbursed by the client; Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and other states collect applicable sales tax based on service location.
All menus can be adapted for dietary needs, including gluten-free, vegan, Alpha-Gal, allergies, and more.

Every bachelorette party is unique—let's create a custom experience that the bride-to-be will never forget.
A bachelorette weekend has a problem: ten to twenty guests, three days, a rental kitchen, and the maid of honor doesn't want to spend the trip making sandwiches. A private chef solves it. The food is handled — welcome dinner, Saturday brunch, final dinner, and any grazing service in between — and the weekend stays the weekend.
Chef Matts Culinary Creations runs bachelorette weekend chef services across the Jersey Shore (Avalon, Stone Harbor, Cape May, Sea Isle, Ocean City, LBI), Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand, and South Jersey rental markets.
Standard Weekend Structure
Most bachelorette engagements run the same general arc. Variations are common; this is the baseline.
Friday — welcome dinner. Group arrives Friday afternoon or evening. Welcome dinner served family-style or coursed depending on the group's energy and the rental. Grazing boards on arrival before dinner if requested.
Saturday morning — brunch. Full brunch service the next morning. Plated, family-style, or station-format depending on group size and the rental.
Saturday afternoon — optional grazing service. Pool, beach, or rental-deck grazing for groups that want food during the day without making it themselves.
Saturday evening — final dinner. The weekend's centerpiece dinner. Coursed or family-style. More involved menu than Friday's welcome dinner.
Sunday morning — optional send-off brunch. Lighter than Saturday's brunch. Smoked fish board, breakfast pastries, coffee. Sets up the group's departure.
The structure adjusts. Some weekends are two nights, some three. Some groups want every meal handled; some only the dinners. The menu calibration is part of the consultation.
For the bridesmaids who can't make the trip at all, a virtual bachelorette cooking class lets the whole party cook the same menu together from their own kitchens a few weeks before the weekend.
What's Included
A bachelorette chef weekend typically includes:
- Pre-trip consultation with the maid of honor or organizer

- Sourcing — produce, proteins, seafood, dairy, pastry
- On-site cooking, plating, and service through each booked meal

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Book Bachelorette Party Chef With Chef Matts
Bringing a chef into your home should feel calm, considered, and personal — not transactional. Every booking with Chef Matts Culinary Creations starts with a real conversation about your household: how many people you're feeding, the dietary preferences and restrictions involved, the kitchen we'll be working in, and the kind of experience you want to create. From there, Chef Matt builds a custom menu and confirms every detail in writing well before the date.
The service itself is fully turnkey. We handle planning, seasonal sourcing, in-home cooking, plating or portioning, and a complete kitchen cleanup before we leave. With more than eighteen years in professional kitchens — including time as an executive chef by age twenty-two and ongoing membership in the United States Personal Chef Association — Chef Matt brings restaurant-level technique into homes across South Jersey, the Jersey Shore, the Philadelphia Main Line, and South Carolina's Grand Strand.
