Catering/Events
We have resident Singers that can perform at your Romantic Dinner, wedding and larger events. 

Nova Gourmets Personal Chef & Events was awarded best overall tasting Dessert at the H'Artful of Love Gala. This is the first time we have entered our food into a competition, so to win was just amazing! The Dessert we prepared was a Lemon Mascarpone Cake with a Blackberry Coulis.

The evening was a successful fundraiser for the Lexington L...iving Arts and Science Center! If you weren't able to attend last nights event but would still like to give a donation just go to their web site.

To the traditional caterer it isn't worth their time to take small events. At Nova Gourmets we treasure the small events where we can put a personal touch on everything.  No Event is too small!   From birthday parties to weddings, we will make sure that your guests are blown away by the gourmet food. We  make sure that every detail is perfect!
If you are sick of hosting a party and never having time to really enjoy it because you are stuck in the kitchen then relax and let our chefs handle everything.

Perhaps you would like to enjoy a relaxing dinner with some close friends (or maybe you have an important business client you really need to impress). We’ll discuss your tastes and options, then you can relax and enjoy the meal... your own personal chef does the rest. From shopping to cooking, serving to clean up, we promise to take the stress out of your day!

A 40% deposit of the estimated catering total is required 90 days from your event.  All remaining payments must be received no later than 7 days prior to the event.  Beverages and any overtime, if applicable, are due at the conclusion of the event via cash or check.
