These days, celebrity chefs are more popular than ever!

You know their names. The Bobby Flay’s and Rachael Ray’s of the world are as much their own brand as they are celebrity chefs. No doubt they are some of the most requested celebrity chefs for hire in today’s day and age. Having said that, their prestige affords for high appearance fees in the 6-figures. Not every company or organization has that type of budget to spend to hire a chef for events. Maybe your budget can only afford celebrity chef appearance fee $10,000 – $20,000 in total.

It’s a big deal when you hire a celebrity chef. You don’t want to go with just anyone, you want to go with a cooking personality who sparkles. Do we have a treat for you! Celebrity Chef Network has connections with the biggest chef personalities in the $10,000 – $20,000 budget range.

That doesn’t mean you’re booking a celebrity chef speaker who isn’t an established professional. Quite the contrary!

Most of our clients find when you go with a chef whose more chef than star, you end up with a more intimate conversation. Hire a famous chef like this and it results in a more down to earth presentation. You get a chef who’s approachable and genuinely interested in the success of your event. These chefs have more date flexibility than the big name chefs. They’ll make the time and effort to give your audience a carefully constructed, unique, thoughtful presentation.

Many of our affordable options have had long, fascinating careers, along with incredible stories to share. Others are the rising stars of tomorrow, the next big thing, while some, still, have a niche they love and wouldn’t trade for anything—they’re in it for their mission and their passion.

Here are some incredible chefs you should consider for your speaking event with celebrity chef appearance fee $10,000 – $20,000:
