Wedding Catering
Scottsdale & Phoenix, AZ
A Wedding Menu
Worth the Day
You will remember the vows. You will remember the first dance. And, if it is done right, you will remember the meal — because for the rest of your lives, the people who were at that table will keep bringing it up.
A Prime Dinners weddings are built for couples who care about the food the way they care about every other detail of the day. Chef Anthony Primera designs every wedding menu from scratch, in collaboration with you and your planner, around the story you want the day to tell. Whether you are envisioning a refined plated French tasting in a Paradise Valley estate, a Japanese-influenced multi-course reception in Old Town Scottsdale, a relaxed family-style Italian feast in a vineyard, or a high-energy live-action station experience under the stars in the Sonoran desert, Chef Primera builds it specifically for you.
Wedding catering with A Prime Dinners includes a complimentary consultation, a full tasting before the date, custom menu design, on-site kitchen execution, plated or stationed service, and complete coordination with your wedding planner and venue. Every dish is plated to the same standard as a fine dining restaurant — because on this day, anything less is not enough.
Chef Primera caters weddings across the Greater Phoenix area — Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, Cave Creek, Carefree, Fountain Hills, and Sedona — and travels nationally and internationally for destination weddings. Wherever you are saying yes, A Prime Dinners can be at that table.
What's Included
in Every Wedding Catering
Bespoke Wedding Menus
Every menu is designed around the two of you — your favorite flavors, your shared travel memories, your families' traditions, and the season.
Full Tasting Included
Before final menu sign-off, you and your partner are invited to a private tasting with Chef Primera to walk through every course in person.
Cocktail to Late-Night
Hand-passed canapés, multi-course dinner, dessert presentation, midnight snack station, and farewell bites — every moment of the day is covered.
Guest Dietary Coverage
Wedding guest lists carry every dietary need imaginable — gluten-free, vegan, halal, allergens, kids' plates — all engineered seamlessly into the menu.
Planner & Venue Coordination
Chef Primera works directly with your wedding planner, venue coordinator, and AV/decor teams so the kitchen is one less thing on your timeline.
Destination Weddings
Available for destination weddings nationally and internationally — travel, lodging, and equipment scoped transparently and itemized up front.
Wedding catering is priced by guest count, menu, and service style. Most A Prime Dinners weddings range from $125 to $250 per guest, depending on the complexity of the menu (plated four-course versus a station-driven reception, for example), the proteins selected, and the level of beverage service included. Every proposal is itemized so you can see exactly where the budget is being spent.
Bookings are secured with a 50% deposit, refundable in full with 30 or more days of cancellation notice. For destination weddings, travel, lodging, and per-diem are scoped separately and disclosed clearly on your proposal.
Because wedding dates are seasonal and finite, the calendar fills early. For Greater Phoenix peak-season weddings (October through May), 9 to 12 months of lead time is typical. For destination weddings, 12 months or more is strongly recommended. Request a complimentary wedding consultation or call (480) 241-1767 to check date availability.

Frequently Asked
Questions
How is wedding catering with A Prime Dinners different?
Most wedding caterers operate as volume kitchens — pre-built menus, food prepped the day before, and service that prioritizes speed over craft. Chef Primera approaches every wedding the way a fine dining restaurant approaches every plate: custom menu, fresh on-site execution, and the same care that goes into a private chef dinner for two.
What does wedding catering cost?
Most A Prime Dinners weddings range from $125 to $250 per guest, depending on menu complexity, service style, proteins, and beverage program. Every proposal is itemized clearly so you see exactly where the budget is allocated — no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons.
Is a tasting included before the wedding?
Yes. Every wedding booking includes a private tasting with Chef Primera before the final menu is locked. You and your partner walk through every course in person, refine details, and confirm everything is exactly right before the day.
Do you handle destination weddings?
Yes. Chef Primera caters destination weddings nationally and internationally. Travel, lodging, and per-diem are scoped transparently on your proposal. The fine dining experience travels with the team — wherever your wedding is, we can be there.
How early should we book?
For Greater Phoenix peak-season weddings (October through May), 9 to 12 months of lead time is typical. For destination weddings, 12 months or more is strongly recommended. Off-season Arizona weddings often have more flexibility, but the most-requested dates always book first.
Can you work with our wedding planner and venue?
Absolutely — and we prefer to. Chef Primera coordinates directly with your wedding planner, venue coordinator, and AV/decor teams to make sure the kitchen is fully integrated into the event timeline. If you have not yet selected a planner or venue, we can recommend trusted partners in the Greater Phoenix area.
