About
Are you considering hosting a dinner party or intimate wedding in a world impacted by social distancing and the abundance of vacation rentals? You're in luck! A plethora of opportunities await. Unique and unconventional settings have become the norm for celebrating special occasions, with a shift towards smaller gatherings held in secluded locales. Wine country retreats through VRBOs and Airbnb have become the ultimate trend for small yet memorable weddings, bachelorette parties, birthdays, and more. And what better way to unwind after a day of wine tasting than soaking in a hot tub while savoring a 5-star meal prepared by your personal chef?

As a versatile chef, I specialize in a diverse range of cuisines, from standard American and Wine Country fare to French, Thai, Italian, Mexican, Indian, Middle Eastern, and vegetarian cuisine. Whether you're looking for a casual backyard BBQ or a formal plated dinner party, Chef Tom Pace is the perfect choice.

Chef Tom and his charming wife Christina were enlisted to prepare a delectable dinner for my 50th birthday fĂȘte at a rental abode in Dillon Beach. Tom not only concocted a splendid menu for me, but communication was effortless and stress-free. Adaptability was also on their side, as they adeptly handled everything from start to finish, including the clean-up. It was a serene and extraordinary affair that my family savored immensely. The pair exhibited a wonderful, amicable demeanor and instantly meshed with the group. Heartily suggesting Chef Tom for any upcoming events.

Chef Tom and Cristina were amazing! Their New Year's meal and service were outstanding. They crafted a menu that perfectly suited our tastes and flawlessly executed a delicious meal, all while delivering exceptional service and tidying up after themselves. Both Chef Tom and Cristina are lovely individuals who are a pleasure to have around. I strongly recommend them and eagerly anticipate the chance to invite them back!

Chef Tom did an excellent job as a personal chef for a 50th birthday dinner party, hosted by our group of 6 at an Airbnb. I strongly recommend him!

Having Chef Tom and Christina at my small wedding reception/dinner was an absolute delight. I requested an Italian-themed meal for 10 people and they delivered beyond expectations. Chef Tom designed a menu that included appetizers, a salad, starter, main course, and dessert, all presented impeccably and professionally. It was evident that he takes great pride in his work, completing the evening to perfection. Communication leading up to the night was a breeze, and he delivered his masterpieces on time. I highly recommend this duo for any occasion, whether it be fancy or lowkey.

Chef Tom and Cristina, his assistant, were truly exceptional! Punctual and accommodating, they provided us with the perfect evening experience. We attended a wine tasting, which delayed dinner, but Tom was so understanding and worked around our schedule seamlessly. The team gave us the option to plan the timing of the meal and executed it beautifully. They struck the perfect balance between being engaging and respecting our space. They even added to the ambiance by setting up a lovely outdoor tablescape using the decorations we had on hand. The FOOD was simply divine. From the delicious starter to the meal, and finally the exquisite dessert, everything was perfect. Tom was very considerate of any special dietary requirements we had and gave us numerous options to choose from. The cherry on top was when they left the kitchen spick and span, as if they were never there. Hands down a 10 out of 10 experience - we wholeheartedly recommend them!
