Private Chef Dinner Parties
Scottsdale & Phoenix
Host Like a Legend.
Stress Like Never.
The best dinner party you have ever attended probably had one thing in common with the worst one you have ever hosted: the host was either completely relaxed or completely overwhelmed. The difference is rarely talent. It is almost always logistics.
When you hire Chef Anthony Primera for a dinner party at your Scottsdale or Phoenix home, you remove every logistical burden from your evening. Menu planning, grocery sourcing, prep work, cooking, plating, service timing, and cleanup — all of it is handled. What remains for you is exactly what hosting is supposed to be: conversation, connection, and the genuine pleasure of watching your guests enjoy themselves.
Chef Primera has served dinner parties ranging from intimate six-person gatherings in Old Town Scottsdale to twenty-guest estate dinners in Paradise Valley and North Scottsdale. Each event gets the same treatment: a custom menu built around the occasion, the guest list, and your vision. He brings his own professional equipment, sources every ingredient fresh, and orchestrates the timing of each course so your evening flows without a single awkward pause.
Popular formats include multi-course tasting menus, family-style feasts, themed cuisine evenings, and interactive coursed experiences where each plate tells a story. If you have an idea, bring it. If you want to be surprised, Chef Primera is equally comfortable designing the entire evening from scratch.

A Prime Dinners dinner party clients frequently report the same reaction from guests: "When did you have time to cook all of this?" The honest answer is that you did not have to — and that is exactly the point. You were fully present the entire night because someone else was handling the kitchen.
Chef Primera works across Scottsdale's most sought-after hosting venues — Old Town lofts, North Scottsdale estates, Paradise Valley compounds, and private residences across Phoenix and the East Valley. He has worked in dozens of home kitchens at this point, adapting to each space quickly and producing the same caliber of food regardless of the setup.

Frequently Asked
Questions
How many guests can be served at a private dinner party?
Chef Primera comfortably handles parties from 6 to 20 guests and can discuss options for larger events. For groups over 20, additional staffing may be coordinated — contact us to discuss your specific event.
How long does a private chef dinner party typically last?
Most multi-course dinner party events run 2.5 to 3.5 hours from first course to dessert, depending on the number of courses and the pace your group prefers. Chef Primera is flexible and can adjust timing to match your evening's flow.
Can we do a themed cuisine evening?
Absolutely. Chef Primera has designed full themed evenings — French bistro nights, Japanese omakase experiences, Italian feasts, and more. If you have a theme in mind, bring it to the consultation and he will build a menu that fully commits to it.
What should I tell my guests about the experience beforehand?
Most clients simply let the experience speak for itself. Collecting any dietary restrictions or allergies from your guests in advance to share with Chef Primera is the most helpful preparation you can do.
Can I provide my own wine or beverages?
Yes. A Prime Dinners focuses exclusively on the food experience. You are welcome to provide your own wine, cocktails, or other beverages, and Chef Primera can offer pairing suggestions based on the menu during your consultation.
