In-Person

We have everything you need for an engaging and tasty private cooking event, including:

• A thoughtfully designed, licensed, fully equipped professional kitchen
• Ample space for 56 seated or 65 standing guests
• Wine and beer license
• Knowledgeable, hospitable instructors and staff

A private cooking class makes a wonderful celebratory birthday party, wedding or baby shower, rehearsal dinner, or family reunion! Or perhaps your work team has accomplished an important milestone and needs some time to relax, learn a new trick or two in the kitchen, and share a great meal. We look forward to collaborating with you in designing an event that matches your wishes.

Pricing for our in-person private events is $225/guest plus 20% gratuity with a $3,780 event minimum.

Here are some options for in-person private cooking events:

Appetizer Party

Celebrate with a lively cocktail party where the hearty appetizers are created by your group! Each guest is welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine and a nibble. After donning aprons and an introduction from the cooking teacher, your team will divide into smaller groups. Under the guidance of the cooking teacher and assistants, each group will create enticing appetizers. As groups finish cooking and plating, they will walk around proudly offering their creations to the other guests. As the event progresses, guests will continue to eat, drink and chat with each other, finishing with a delicious dessert. You and your guests will spend approximately 3 hours mingling and cooking together at The Civic Kitchen.

Multi-Course Seated Meal

In this 3.5 to 4-hour experience, guests will prepare a multi-course meal to enjoy together around the table after the cooking is complete. You will begin the evening with time to socialize, with snacks served with wine, beer, and bubbles. After donning aprons and an introduction from the cooking instructor, you and your guests will head into the kitchen to make a delicious meal under the guidance of our cooking teacher and assistants. We’ll assist you in choosing a menu that suits your interests—pasta? North Indian cuisine? Japanese? French? Our diverse team of teachers look forward to working with you to design the meal. As the cooking finishes, you and your guests will gather around the table to enjoy the meal you just made, paired with wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Catered Dinner Parties

Perhaps you'd like someone else to do the cooking so you can have more time to spend with your guests or colleagues. Whether you bring your own chef or we take care of everything for you, our spacious and flexible venue can accommodate everything from a standing cocktail party to a 56-person seated dinner and everything in between.
