We create a personal chef dining experience in the comfort of your own home or condo.  First you reserve your date, then complete the contract, curate your menu with Chef David, and then the rest is on us.

All of our culinary experiences are led by Chef David Pan, chef proprietor of Orange Beach Concierge Services and co-owner of DMP Hospitality Group. A true world-traveler and French-culinary enthusiast, Chef Pan specializes in blending classic French methods with the latest culinary trends and techniques. After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu Mendota Heights, Chef Pan has worked with noted chefs in elite establishments across the country, including the Minneapolis Club and Gustavus Inn. Since moving to the Alabama Gulf Coast in 2013, Chef Pan has won multiple industry awards and is now the only chef proprietor in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Good question! Third-party bookings often come with service fees in excess of $100 and cookie-cutter menus that may not charm your guests. By booking your personal chef experience directly through Orange Beach Concierge Services, you’ll enjoy the best up-front price and access to your personal chef to plan a personalized menu that meets your tastes and preferences. Third-party booking services also do not give you personal access to the chef and his team, but at Orange Beach Concierge each of our dinner services are personally curated for our guests.

As soon as you know you are coming to the coast. 75% of our dates are already reserved at the beginning of each year. However, we do our best to accommodate last-minute reservations!

Absolutely! From private events to personal dinners, we love any chance for a culinary celebration. Whether it’s a birthday, an intimate wedding, a family reunion or a corporate retreat, Chef Pan and his team will create the perfect menu and service for any occasion.

Unlike other services, at Orange Beach Concierge no two menus are alike; each meal is customized with Chef David to curate the perfect menu for the evening.

Fresh produce is a staple of French cuisine, and Chef Pan always looks for seasonal ingredients from local purveyors to create your personalized menu.
