Pair it with a [wedding cake](https://www.hestiaaspen.com/wedding-cakes-aspen). ## From first course to last plate cleared. The reason to hire a chef for a dinner party is that you do not spend it in the kitchen. With a fully hosted evening, dinner is cooked, served and cleared, from first course to last plate cleared. For a more relaxed gathering, Hestia can prepare a meal delivered ready for your table instead.

Aspen’s summer evenings make outdoor dinners especially tempting. - **Dietary needs.** Note allergies and preferences for every guest, so they can be planned for from the start. - **Something sweet.** Grace began her career in pastry. Ask about dessert, or choose a [bespoke cake](https://www.hestiaaspen.com/cakes) as the centerpiece. ## How far ahead should I book a dinner party chef in Aspen? As early as you can, especially for holidays and the busy winter and summer seasons. Availability is confirmed once Grace has your date, guest count and location. ## Can you cook for a large party? Share your guest count when you [inquire](https://www.hestiaaspen.com/inquire?service=dining), and Grace will talk through what is possible for your gathering. ## Can the menu be created around our occasion? Each dining experience is built specifically for you and your vision, guided by the seasons. Tell Grace about the occasion, the food you love, and any dietary requirements or allergies so they can be discussed while planning your menu. ## Do you make birthday cakes as well? Yes. Hestia’s cake menu has five flavors, in sizes from a 6" round for 6–8 to a half sheet for 40–55, starting at $160.
