Our philosophy

From the founder’s table to yours

Fifteen years ago, I set a table for twelve in a candlelit Parisian atelier. That evening taught me something no culinary school ever could: the most extraordinary meals aren’t measured in courses — they’re felt in the way a room falls silent after the first bite.

At Maison Élégance, every menu is a letter written to your guests. We source from farms we know by name, season by the calendar not the trend, and plate with the understanding that we eat first with our eyes.

This isn’t catering. This is culinary storytelling — and your event is the most important chapter.

Testimonials

Words from the table

Our greatest reward is the silence that falls over a room after the first course is served. But these words come close.

“From the first tasting, we knew this wasn’t just catering — it was artistry. Our guests are still talking about the wagyu six months later. Every single detail was impeccable.”
Catherine & James WhitfieldWedding · The Ritz Paris
“We hosted 180 people for a product launch and the service never once broke stride. The kitchen worked around a venue with no gas supply and nobody in the room knew. That is the part I still think about.”
Léa MoreauCorporate launch · Palais Brongniart
“Three of our guests had serious allergies and one keeps strictly kosher. Maison Élégance handled all of it without turning anyone’s plate into an apology. Everyone ate the same beautiful meal.”

Questions

Before you enquire

The questions couples, planners and executive assistants ask us most often.

How far in advance should we book?

For weddings and events between May and September, twelve to eighteen months is typical — Saturdays in June are usually gone a year out. Corporate events and private dining are more flexible and often confirm six to ten weeks ahead.

If your date is close, ask anyway. We hold a small number of dates back each season precisely for events that come together quickly.

What is your minimum, and how is pricing structured?

Private dining starts at eight guests. Weddings and corporate events start at forty. Pricing is per guest and depends on the menu, the service format and the staffing your venue requires — a seated five-course dinner and a standing canapé reception are very different operations.

You receive a single itemised proposal covering food, staff, equipment, delivery and cleanup. We do not add service charges after the event.

Can you accommodate allergies and dietary requirements?

Yes, and we treat it as design work rather than substitution. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, halal and kosher are all standard for us, and we are certified for halal and kosher service.

We ask for the full guest list of requirements at the menu stage so that guests with restrictions receive a dish that belongs to the same menu as everyone else’s — not a plate that announces itself as the exception.

Do you provide staff, equipment and tableware?

Full service includes chefs, service staff, a floor manager, and all cooking equipment. Tableware, glassware, linen and furniture can be supplied and styled by us, or we will work alongside a stylist or venue supplier you have already chosen.

We visit every venue we have not worked before, and we plan around the actual kitchen — including venues with no kitchen at all.

Which areas do you serve?

Paris and Île-de-France as standard, with no travel supplement. We regularly work across Normandy, the Loire Valley, Burgundy and Provence, and we cater destination events elsewhere in Europe.

Outside Île-de-France we quote travel and accommodation transparently as a separate line, so you can see exactly what it adds.

Is the tasting really complimentary?

The first consultation is complimentary for everyone. A full seated tasting for two is complimentary once your date is held with a deposit — it is a menu development session, not a sales pitch, and dishes are adjusted in the room.

Additional guests at the tasting are welcome at cost. Tastings for corporate events are arranged on the same basis.

What happens if we need to cancel or move the date?

The booking deposit holds your date and is non-refundable, but it transfers in full to a new date within twelve months if you need to move — once, and subject to availability.

Beyond that, the balance schedule steps up as the date approaches. The full terms are in your proposal in plain language before you are asked to sign anything.

Are you insured and licensed?

Yes. We carry full public and product liability cover, our kitchens are HACCP compliant, and every member of service staff holds current food hygiene certification.

Venues frequently ask for our certificates directly — send us the contact and we will supply them without involving you.
