Private Chef for Retreats and Group Stays
Corporate, wellness, faith and family retreats need good food that shows up on time. Breakfast to dinner, cooked on site.
Feed the retreat so the group can focus
A retreat works when people stay together. Every trip into town for a meal breaks the momentum. I cook on site at retreat properties, rental houses, lodges and private venues across Middle Tennessee and North Alabama so the group eats where they are working, resting or reconnecting.
I plan meals across the stay: a welcome dinner, breakfasts and lunches that fit around sessions, and a closing dinner worth remembering. Menus can lean light and fresh for wellness retreats, hearty and comforting for family gatherings, or polished for leadership offsites.
Retreat groups range from a handful of people to 100+ guests, with larger groups on request. Many groups add a hands-on cooking class as an activity, which doubles as team building.
For retreats that need lodging, schedules and several vendors, Get Apex Hospitality coordinates the full stay. I do not provide or serve alcohol.
What this can look like
- Welcome and closing dinners
- Breakfasts and working lunches

- Corporate and leadership offsites
