Unforgettable Gatherings, One Course at a Time

Enjoy a personal chef experience so you can host without the hassle.

Serving the West Michigan lakeshore

Imagine celebrations where you didn’t have to:

✖ Plan the perfect dinner menu on your own

✖ Shop, prep, cook or clean up

✖ Worry about timing every dish just-right

✖ Feel stuck in the kitchen while everyone else connects

✖ Stress about making sure everything feels special

You only have so much thyme.

With a Julianne Dinner Party, instead of juggling dishes and details, you get to:

✔ Sip, savor, and stay present with your friends

✔ Feel like a guest at your own gathering

✔ Enjoy chef-curated menus without lifting a finger

✔ Create meaningful moments around the table

This is Chef Julie, a professional Chef doing meal prep services in Holland Michigan and the surrounding lakeshore areas. Chef Julie comes to your home kitchen to prep meals for weekly dinners, lunches, and more.

“The little touches were so amazing: a lime intermezzo to elevate the dinner, a complimentary jar of Maldon salt and her own custom salt-and-pepper blend, and the sweetest hand-written kindness fortunes that we opened before each meal. It felt so thoughtful and personal.”
