Hire Our Staff

The Wellington Agency connects families with accomplished private chefs skilled in fine dining, nutrition, and international cuisine. Our chefs adapt to the household’s tastes and schedules — offering elegance and creativity in every meal.

Private Chef Services for High Net Worth Families Nationwide

Securing the right private chef requires far more than culinary skill. For high net worth households, a private chef must be adaptable, discreet, highly organized, and capable of delivering exceptional dining experiences within the unique structure of a private home. These roles require professionals who understand the expectations of formal households and can operate seamlessly in environments where privacy, flexibility, and precision are essential.

The Wellington Agency provides elite private chef placements across the United States. We serve all major cities, with a strong presence in Palm Beach, Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills. The majority of our clients are high profile, high net worth families who maintain multiple residences both domestically and internationally, requiring chefs who are comfortable traveling, managing multiple kitchens, and adapting to evolving schedules and preferences.

Professional Private Chef Placement Services

We specialize in placing highly qualified culinary professionals, including:

  • Full-time private chefs
  • Live-in chefs
  • Traveling chefs
  • Rotational chefs
  • Estate chefs
  • Specialty and dietary-focused chefs
  • Michelin star chefs

Our chefs are carefully vetted and typically bring extensive experience from high-end restaurants, luxury hotels, private estates, and ultra high net worth households. Many have formal culinary training, Michelin-level experience, or backgrounds working with high profile principals and international families.

Beyond technical ability, our chefs are selected for their professionalism, discretion, and ability to manage the full scope of responsibilities within a private household. This includes menu planning, sourcing premium ingredients, accommodating dietary restrictions, coordinating with household staff, and maintaining an organized and efficient kitchen environment.

Each placement is thoughtfully tailored to the needs of the household, ensuring not only exceptional cuisine, but a seamless and lasting fit aligned with the family’s lifestyle, preferences, and expectations

A Higher Standard of Private Dining

Our approach goes beyond traditional chef placement, with a focus on long-term compatibility and consistent excellence within the home.

  • Extensive experience in private households or fine dining environments
  • Verified references and comprehensive background checks
  • Discretion, professionalism, and strong organizational skills
  • Ability to manage diverse dietary requirements and preferences
  • Flexibility to travel and adapt to dynamic household schedules

Many of our chefs have supported high profile families and understand the level of service and confidentiality required.
