Private Chef Dining Experience at Springdale Weddings and Events

Springdale’s Private Chef Dining Experience is designed for couples who want their wedding meal to feel as personal and memorable as the ceremony itself. We partner with several talented local chefs and catering teams who specialize in intimate celebrations, so your dinner isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” banquet—it’s a thoughtfully planned, beautifully served meal created around your tastes, your guests, and the feel of your day.

Custom menus that feel like you

One of the best parts of hosting a micro wedding at Springdale is the freedom to create a menu that reflects your story. Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy, elevated comfort-food dinner, a seasonal farm-to-table menu, or a more traditional celebration meal with a modern twist, our chef partners can tailor the experience to match your vision.

You’ll have the opportunity to share preferences and priorities such as:

  • Favorite foods and “must-have” dishes

  • Dietary needs and allergies (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, nut-free, etc.)

  • Cultural or family traditions you’d love to include

  • The overall vibe: relaxed and family-style, plated and elegant, or something in between

  • Seasonal ingredients you want to highlight

Because Springdale celebrations are small by design, our chefs can focus on the details that make a meal feel special—balanced flavors, beautiful presentation, and thoughtful pacing—without the rush and impersonality that can come with larger events.

Experienced chefs, local talent

Springdale works with experienced private chefs and catering professionals who understand the rhythm of a wedding day and the expectations that come with it. They’re not just great cooks—they’re calm, capable event partners who know how to deliver a polished dining experience while your timeline is unfolding.

Our chef partners are selected for their:

  • Proven experience serving celebrations and special events

  • Ability to create flexible menus for a variety of dietary needs

  • Professional service style and attention to presentation

  • Commitment to quality ingredients and consistent execution

This means you can feel confident that your dinner will be handled with care—from prep to plating to clean-up—so you can stay present, enjoy your guests, and savor the moment.

A dining room that sets the scene

Picture this: you and your guests gathered in Springdale’s gorgeous dining room, warm light, a beautiful table setting, and the kind of atmosphere that invites conversation and connection. The space is intimate and welcoming—perfect for a micro wedding where everyone truly feels included.

Your chef-prepared meal becomes part of the experience, not just a “break” in the schedule. It’s a chance to slow down, toast, laugh, and enjoy being together—one of the most meaningful parts of a small wedding.

Thoughtful table settings and elevated details

A great dinner is about more than what’s on the plate. Springdale’s Private Chef Dining Experience includes the kind of thoughtful touches that make the evening feel elevated and intentional. From the way the table is set to the flow of courses, we aim to create a dining moment that feels curated, comfortable, and special.

If you have a specific style in mind—classic and romantic, modern and minimal, rustic and cozy—we’ll help align the dining experience with the overall look and feel of your celebration.

A seamless add-on to your wedding package

Private chef dining is available as an add-on to your Springdale wedding experience. Pricing varies based on guest count, menu selections, and service style, and we’ll walk you through the options so you can choose what fits your vision and your budget.

If you’re ready to explore menus, we’ll connect you with a chef partner and help you take the next step. Share your wedding date, approximate guest count, and the type of meal you’re imagining—and we’ll help you create a dinner that feels truly unforgettable.
