Chef Brent Berry brings over 15 years of experience working in hotels, restaurants, and country clubs across Philadelphia and New Jersey. Every menu is thoughtfully created around your taste, your guests, and your occasion so you can relax and enjoy your event from start to finish.
Our Distinctive Approach
Menus Built Around You
Every menu starts with a conversation about your taste, your guest list, your budget, and your dietary needs, not from a fixed list. The result is food that feels personal and chosen by you, not something pre-decided
A Dedicated Chef, Every Time
With over 15 years of experience in professional kitchens, Chef Brent is personally involved in your event from start to finish. This is his work, his name, and his commitment behind every dish served
Quality Ingredients That Matter
Ingredients are sourced thoughtfully, with a focus on freshness and quality. Simple, well-prepared food made with the right ingredients always delivers a better dining experience.
Clear and Honest Pricing
No vague pricing or confusion. Share your guest count and event details, and you’ll get a clear understanding of the cost before anything is finalized.

Sound Familiar?
If you're looking into a private chef or caterer, chances are it's for one of these reasons:
-
You want a special occasion to actually feel special, but you're tired of loud restaurants, rushed service, and reservations you have to book a month out.
-
You're hosting, but you don't want to be the host who never sits down, the one who's stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is at the table.
-
You've looked at catering marketplaces and want to feel confident about who’s coming into your home and preparing your meal.
-
You have a guest with dietary restrictions, and you don't trust a big catering company to actually take it seriously instead of bolting on a single "safe" plate.
-
You got a catering quote with no real pricing clarity, and you're not sure what you're actually going to end up paying until it's too late to shop around.
-
You want food that reflects your actual taste, not a fixed banquet package with three menu options that all feel the same.
If any of that sounds familiar, that's exactly the gap For Anna With Love was built to close.

Todd Donahue, Graduation Party
Brent was fantastic. The food was delicious, and we had more than enough. The service was professional and super courteous.
Lisa Wilkie Baker, Intimate Dinner Party
Brent was extremely flexible with the menu options — sent us multiple menus and we picked all our favorites from each one to combine them... My mom still says it was the best birthday dinner yet

Chef Brent is exceptional in the kitchen. I have attended three events where he was the private chef. His personality keeps guests engaged while his food keeps them impressed
FAQS
How is this different from ordering catering?

It depends on guest count, menu, and occasion. Reach out with your details, and we'll give you a real number, not a vague range.
Do you handle dietary restrictions and allergies?
Yes, every menu is built with your guest list's needs in mind from the start, not adjusted at the last minute.
