The holiday season in Austin is one of the most magical times of the year. From Friendsgiving dinners to Thanksgiving feasts, Christmas parties, New Year’s celebrations, and company holiday events, gatherings fill the calendar from fall through winter. While these occasions are full of joy, they can also bring stress. Menu planning, cooking for a crowd, and keeping everything polished while trying to enjoy time with loved ones can be a lot.

That’s where Hosting Austin’s private chef services come in. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner party, a festive family-style feast, or a chic hors d’oeuvres soirée, we bring restaurant-quality dining right into your home or event space—so you can focus on celebrating.
