Weddings are always emotional milestones — but when you’re trusted with more than the food, and asked to help orchestrate the entire experience, it becomes a true honor. Just a week ago, I had the pleasure of being not only the Private Chef, but also the event coordinator for a spectacular wedding held in Balotești, near Bucharest. A celebration with 500 guests, a luxurious tent, a curated menu, and unforgettable energy.
From Tasting to Table – A 14-Month Journey
Gina and Laurențiu first reached out to me over 14 months ago, eager to plan something exceptional. From the first discussion, they made it clear — they wanted this wedding to reflect not just love, but also elegance, authenticity, and culinary artistry.
One month before the big day, we held a private tasting session, which helped shape their final menu. Their choices revealed a deep appreciation for refined textures, bold combinations, and a balance between modern and traditional cuisine.

This time, my role expanded well beyond cooking. I sourced and coordinated:
