Private chef Scottsdale bachelorette party questions, answered

How much is a private chef for a Scottsdale bachelorette?
Revelwick estimates about $130 a head for a dinner at the house.
Ask what the quote includes.
Can a private chef cook at a Scottsdale Airbnb?
City code bars using a rental as a restaurant or event center; a dinner for the guests staying is a different thing, so tell the host.
Keep it to the group.
Will a chef handle allergies?
Ask; send allergies and preferences with the booking.
Get the menu in writing.
Is a chef or a restaurant better for the bride?
A chef keeps the group in with no rides; Old Town restaurants such as Olive & Ivy have private rooms for events.
