Private Chef Services, Reimagined
French Magnolia offers private chef services that go far beyond food—bringing chef-driven cuisine, thoughtful wine, refined service, and genuine hospitality directly to your table.
Private Chef Services Designed as Complete Hospitality Experiences
French Magnolia Cooks creates private chef experiences, intimate celebrations, weddings, and full-service catering for hosts who want more than a beautiful meal.
Whether you begin your search looking for a private chef, personal chef, wedding caterer, or simply a better way to entertain, French Magnolia brings the pieces together into one thoughtfully designed experience.
Chef-driven menus, curated wine pairings, a beautifully prepared table, attentive service, and genuine hospitality allow you to enjoy the people you’ve gathered rather than manage the details around them.
This is not catering in the ordinary sense. It is a more complete and intentional approach to gathering—shaped by fine-dining standards but designed to feel warm, personal, and natural.
From an intimate dinner at home to a chef’s table, private wine dinner, bachelorette celebration, wedding weekend, vacation gathering, or larger catered event, each experience is created around the people, place, and reason for gathering.
French Magnolia serves Charleston and the South Carolina Lowcountry, along with select destinations throughout the Southeast.

We recently had Chef Missy and her fabulous husband Thomas create a Chef's Table dinner party for my 50th birthday celebration with an intimate group of my girlfriends. What a treat to sit down to the most beautifully set table with flowers, candles and china. We loved learning about each wine from Thomas. His selections were perfectly paired to each course. Chef Missy prepared the most exquisite meal that my guests are still talking about! They were professional in their interactions before and during the evening and we all found them delightful to be with! The entire experience exceeded our expectations!

We did the chef's table experience at our home and Chef Missy made everything special, delicious, and best of all, I didn't have to lift a finger. Every course and wine pairing was exquisite. It was very educational and a dinner we will be talking about for years to come. Can't wait to do it again some time!

Chef Missy traveled to Blowing Rock, NC, to put on a fabulous brunch for my mother-in-law’s birthday. The food was outstanding, presentation just beautiful and learning all about champagne from her husband, Thomas Fraley, was an added bonus. My husband and I are looking forward to working with Chef Missy again in the future. She’s just the best!

I cant put into words how blessed our group was by Missy and Thomas. Our experience was so, so much more than food. They created an experience our group was changed by, and will never forget!
