Accomplished, local, approachable
The goal is not a formal chef showcase. It is a thoughtful meal, planned with care and served in a way that fits your evening.
Private Chef Dinners
A chef-driven dinner that still feels easy to host.
A private dinner should feel special without feeling overly formal. We’ll work with you on the menu, pacing, and details so the night feels thoughtful, personal, and comfortable.
Meet the chef
Executive Chef Trent Garvey
Trent leads the Blue Duck kitchen with the same grounded approach that shapes the catering program: good food, clear planning, and a comfortable guest experience.
He is also the winner of Hell’s Kitchen Season 20 and has worked with Gordon Ramsay, Martha Stewart, and Guy Fieri in Las Vegas. The story is simple: Blue Duck has a trusted local catering operation, and the executive chef happens to have national-level credentials.

The planning flow
How it works
The process is intentionally simple. We listen first, then shape a dinner that fits the occasion and the room.
Step 1
Tell us the occasion
Share your date, guest count, location, goals, and any dietary notes or must-have ideas.
Step 2
Build the plan together
We’ll talk through menu direction, service needs, timing, and what will make the night comfortable.
Step 3
Enjoy the dinner
Blue Duck handles the food experience so you can focus on your guests and the reason you gathered.
Ideal occasions
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, small celebrations, client dinners, holiday meals, and evenings where you want the food to feel special without turning your home or venue into a production.
Menu inspiration
Seasonal plates, plated dinners, shared courses, appetizers, desserts, and menus shaped around your group.
