We originally started by contacting established catering companies in Barcelona and Girona for our wedding. After a few conversations, I honestly felt more confused than ever. There were packages, fixed options, limitations, and somehow the whole process started to feel more stressful than exciting. Out of curiosity, we decided to speak with Bruno, a private chef. At that point, I was not seriously considering hiring a private chef for the wedding. But after our very first conversation, I literally ran to my partner and said: “I think we found our guy.” What stood out immediately was how different the experience felt. We were talking to a person, not a company. Bruno offered a level of flexibility, warmth, and openness that none of the catering companies came close to. There were no rigid packages we had to squeeze ourselves into. Instead, we worked on the menu together. He listened, adapted, suggested, and made the whole thing feel personal. I even sent him a photo of a salad I had found online, completely outside his standard menu, and he immediately said he could do it. He also came to our place to cook for the tasting, which was honestly an experience in itself. It felt intimate, thoughtful, and special. Exactly the kind of energy we wanted around our wedding. As the wedding grew, we extended it into a pre-party and a post-wedding brunch, and of course we asked Bruno to take care of the catering for those too. His team was incredible: high-class professionals who knew exactly what they needed to do from the very first minute, without needing to ask questions or create any stress. They just handled everything. And I have not even properly talked about the food yet because honestly, that was probably one of the biggest highlights of the entire wedding. Everything was amazing. The taste, the presentation, the quality, the feeling behind it all. Our guests loved it, and so did we. It was an additional cost, but I trusted him, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. She helped with the table decorations and even the decoration of our altar, which we had barely had time to think about. She did an amazing job. All our guests met her because she was so friendly, present, approachable, and calm throughout the whole event. They did not just provide catering; they helped shape the entire atmosphere of the wedding. Thank you for making our wedding magical!

As someone my friends would absolutely describe as a foodie, I knew long before I had a vision for my wedding that one thing was non-negotiable: the food had to be incredible. One of the best decisions I made was having Bruno and his team cater not only our wedding day, but also our breakfasts, lunches, and welcome dinner, and post wedding celebrations throughout our three-day celebration. To be completely honest, I was blown away! I've attended several large events and know that it's common for some dishes to miss the mark, but somehow Bruno and his team delivered exceptional food at every single meal. Every menu felt unique, thoughtful, and equally delicious. The quality, flavor, and presentation exceeded all of my expectations. What made it even more special was hearing the feedback from our guests. Throughout the weekend, people couldn't stop talking about the food. Multiple guests told me it was the best food they had during their entire trip, which is saying a lot! As someone who believes food is one of the most meaningful ways to bring people together, create memories, and show love to family and friends, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Beyond the food itself, Bruno and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were incredibly professional, organized, and genuinely kind. Every interaction was met with a smile, and they consistently checked in to make sure everything was to my liking and to see if I needed anything at all. The amount of planning, coordination, logistics, and hard work required to execute multiple events for so many people is honestly mind-boggling to me, yet his team handled everything seamlessly and with such grace. The food, the service, the hospitality, the endless flow of amazing wine and drinks, it was all exceptional. Bruno and his team played a huge role in making our wedding weekend unforgettable, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

There are not enough words to express how wonderful Chef Bruno Bonnier and his whole team were during our 60 person wedding weekend. He catered food and beverage for three events for us at Mas Santo(a wedding villa in Cunit, Spain). We hired Bruno for our "Welcome Party," the Wedding Day, and the post-wedding Brunch and each one was a truly incredible culinary experience. I spent almost a full year communicating with Bruno to curate a custom menu that we felt was authentic to Spanish cuisine, while honoring his French background. I hoped to take our guests on a gastronomic journey and wow did he nail it! My goal for our wedding was to have the guests say this is the best food they'd had at a wedding - the guest's reviews far exceeded expectations as the most common phrase I heard was, "This is the best food I've ever had!" Bruno became not just a chef but more of a planning guru for me; he facilitated our Iberico Ham slicing via Esteban, he found us a flamenco guitarist, he recommended the baker who made our fabulous wedding cake...every service he provided was simply top tier. She was so helpful and organized that I was truly able to enjoy the wedding weekend, stress-free. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing Bruno and his team are...he even rushed down to hold an umbrella over my head as the skies opened up and it poured rain during our outdoor ceremony. When he found out I didn't get to taste an hor d'oeuvre on our wedding night, he made me a special portion the next morning for breakfast. This team can do it all and they do it all SO WELL! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. A year's worth of hard work truly paid off. We could not have planned a wedding in Spain all the way from the U.S. without you. Bruno truly is the best there is!

We had the honor of having Chef Bruno Bonnier and his incredible team cater our destination 25th wedding anniversary vow renewal in Barcelona, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Traveling all the way from California with 28 of our closest family and friends, we rented two villas to celebrate, and Chef Bruno made sure every meal was unforgettable. Each morning, we enjoyed a delicious Catalonian breakfast, and in the evenings, we were treated to formal dinners that showcased the best of local cuisine, including: • An authentic tapas dinner • A paella welcome dinner that served a seafood and meat paella. Both were amazing • A spectacular 25th anniversary ceremony dinner that was truly special • A paella cooking class that was super fun Chef Bruno and his team were attentive, accommodating, flexible, and incredibly warm—they made us feel like family. Every dish was expertly prepared, locally sourced, and authentically Catalonian. If you’re looking for an exceptional private chef in Barcelona, Chef Bruno Bonnier is the one to call! Thank you, Chef Bruno and team, for making our celebration so memorable. Highly recommended!

We hired Bruno and his team to provide wedding catering and bar services for our destination wedding and welcome dinner. Bruno exceeded our expectations by every measure. From the start, Bruno was attentive to our needs, providing us with several menu options, and revised the menu multiple times to suit our needs - demonstrating his commitment to ensuring we would be completely satisfied with the services. He and his team were kind, easy to communicate with (even from across the world!), and such a joy to have at both the welcome and wedding day festivities. The food was outstanding. Many of our guests commented it was the best wedding dinner they ever had. Bruno pays so much attention to detail and it really came to life for our guests. In addition to the excellent meal, the bar services were a hit. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves, adding to the overall success of our special day. We highly recommend Bruno for any catering needs. His professionalism, flexibility, and exceptional food made our wedding celebration truly memorable. We’ll be looking for an excuse to come back to Spain to work with Bruno again!

Bruno and his team surpassed all our expectations. The whole process leading up to our wedding was easy, friendly, and straightforward. We met with Bruno and his team at the venue before the wedding to run through the day, which put me and my partner at ease. They were all so helpful and helped curate the perfect day. On the actual day, his team were flawless. They were all professional and extremely warm and welcoming to all our guests. They couldn't have done more for us. Bruno provided all bar staff, waiting staff, and the kitchen team, ensuring all areas of the day were covered—from welcome drinks, cocktails and canapés, tapas wedding dinner, to midnight snacks. The food was incredible. Our friends and family are still talking about it. Every dish served was spot on. Even our fussy eaters tried new food and loved it! Thank you to Bruno, Alvaro, Vincent, and team. Your food, hard work, and friendly support helped make our special day everything we wanted and more! I'd recommend Bruno without hesitation.

Such a professional team!!! We were so grateful to have Bruno and his team to help us plan our wedding and to cook for us. We had a small wedding party near Barcelona this year. They were so committed to help us through the process. They gave us very constructive advice and connected us with different vendors (e.g. rental, DJ). She was very kind and so dedicated to take care of everything for us before and on our wedding day. It made our planning so much easier. The food was phenomenal. No one single item disappointed us. We loved the souffle and duck confit. We received very positive feedback from our guests that the food was nicely presented and tasty. Not only the food was exceptional, but also the service. All the servers were very professional. They addressed our needs promptly and kept our glasses filled. We couldn't have such a good time without Bruno and his team. They made our wedding so smooth and memorable. We highly recommend them if anyone plans to have an event in/near the Barcelona area.

We had the absolute pleasure of having this private chef and their team cater for us during our stay at Villa Valentina, and they exceeded all expectations. They cooked both a BBQ and a brunch for our group of 18 guests, and everything was exceptional. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and catered perfectly to everyone’s tastes. The BBQ was a real highlight – fantastic quality ingredients, perfectly cooked, and served seamlessly. The brunch was just as impressive, with a great variety and everything prepared fresh and to a high standard. What really stood out was how professional, friendly, and well-organised the whole team was. They handled everything effortlessly, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy the experience. The service felt both high-end and welcoming at the same time. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their stay or host a special event. It truly made our trip unforgettable.

Bruno and his team catered my wedding of 95 people in August 2024, as well as the welcome party the night before with the same amount of people. The food was excellent and guests could not stop raving about the quality of the wedding food. Bruno gave excellent recommendations for meals for the guests and was flexible with accommodating dietary restrictions. He also doubled as my wedding planner and coordinator, and was very hands-on and helpful from start to finish. His knowledge about the area (we got married in Cunit, ~45 minutes south of Barcelona) and relationships with various vendors helped make our wedding day absolutely amazing! He was also budget conscious and worked with us to determine what would work best for us financially. For our next trip back to this region, we will definitely hope he is available to cook us a few delicious meals! Thank you Bruno!!!

Bruno and his team catered my welcome dinner at our villa in cunit and our wedding! We did Spanish barbecue for the welcome dinner, family style to stay our weekend off. All 25 of us absolutely loved it and they packaged up the extras for leftovers the next day! We could not wait to have him back the next day for our wedding food. His team is so professional and efficient. We had the best cocktail hour with drinks and 10+ food bites that were so tasty and plentiful. Lastly the dinner, my goodness all our guests thought our dinner menu was delicious: sirloin, sea bass, or duck. My saving grace for the whole weekend with coordinating, preparing, scheduling, and laying out everything day of. I am extremely grateful that Bruno has this service with his company.

Bruno Bonnier was one of the best decisions we made for our Day 2 celebration. From the start, he was an absolute pleasure to work with — responsive, thoughtful, and incredibly easy to communicate with. He asked all the right questions and tailored everything perfectly to our needs. The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly suited to our barbecue party with 60 guests. Bruno and his team were professional, organised, and had everything under control from start to finish, which meant we could simply relax and enjoy the day. Exceptional food, flawless service, and wonderful people to work with. We couldn't recommend Bruno more highly.

The experience has been very very positive. Exquisite food, it's been a long time since I've enjoyed food so much, really better than in a restaurant. Bruno has been professional, attentive and discreet. I will recommend him to all my friends. It is an experience to be repeated. You eat very well, you can be with your guests without being distracted by the kitchen, if you have children they can play with their things at home, and on top of that the chef picks up the kitchen. It is highly recommended as an experience and Bruno's kitchen in particular. The dishes we chose were cooked and presented to a 5 star level. Thank you, Bruno.
