Wes Zemla is the founder and Chef of Tiny Dinners. With nearly a decade of experience as a private chef working around the world, he utilizes his background to bring a professional, personalized, and exciting experience right to your home.
For Chef Wes, the private chef world has been a playground for creativity and he has used that to explore all types of regional cuisines and techniques .
His years spent cooking and exploring in the island nations of the South Pacific, Caribbean and costal regions of Mexico, as well as food tours through Scandinavia, London and Paris have all shaped the style, presentation and flavor profile of his food.
He believes the best memories are created at the dinner table, with people that you hold close, great food and glass of wine that you just can't seem to find the bottom of.
IN-HOME PRIVATE DINING
Our multiple course in-home dining experiences can be customized for you and your group (minimum requirement of 6 guests) for 5 or 7 courses.
Each menu is tailored to your individual event. The creative process begins based on what is in season and at its peak in flavor. We also take into account any special requests you may have and any dietary restrictions that will be present, creating an event that is perfect for you and your group.
Interested in having each course complimented with a wine pairing? We work with some amazing local wine shops to create a pairing specific to your menu - a service we provide at cost of the wine (no additional charge) and simply added to your final invoice.
SMALL EVENT CATERING
We approach each event individually with a fresh take on menu offerings keeping the budget, mood and season into consideration.
We believe that great food experiences aren’t just about great ingredients (as that’s a given). We are of the mind that how everything looks is just as important as how it tastes. We live for what happens at the table – the gathering of friends and family, old and new and respect how food has the power to make it memorable.
We offer full event catering services or customize what you need help from us on. Either way – you can expect the same Tiny Dinners promise: amazing food, stylish presentation and impeccable service.
