    We hired Brian for our bachelorette party at the AirBnb we rented and everything was fantastic. Brian was so flexible with menu and food preference/allergy restrictions. He was extremely professional and we had a great time meeting him. All the food was delicious and so well prepared. Highly recommend hiring Brian for your next event!

    Recently my daughter had a baby and I wanted to get her a unique gift, A Chef to make 3 meals a week for a month. Brian was prompt in his response to my inquiry and was very easy to work with. My daughter has dietary restrictions and Brian was accommodating and understanding of her needs. She raved about the food every he delivered every week and even requested him to repeat certain meals that she loved.
    I highly recommend Durkin Events!!!

    Frequently asked questions

    My process starts with getting to know the event, going over expectations and what your ideas are food, and I will create a menu and timeline based on the event. Those will be approved by you before the date, a budget will be set per person, and I take it from there!

    3 years at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester NY, 4 years at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, GA, and 2 years at Charlotte Country Club in Charlotte, NC. I have worked under multiple Certified Master Chefs and was most recently the head of fine dining at a top 20 golf club in the nation.

    No standard pricing, each event is unique.

    From the bottom up.

    Higher end clients, but also more casual settings. I spent years in the south cooking BBQ.

    A wine dinner for Augusta National members and spouses on Magnolai Lane. For all you golf fans out there, you heard right.

    Communication is essential.

    How involved do you want to be? What is your budget per person? I'm also here to answer any questions you may have outside the realm of my capacity of being in charge of dining.
