Cooking Experience Private Parties

The Cooking Experience Irvine welcomes private parties throughout the year. For companies, it's a great way to entertain clients, reward top employees, or bring peers together for a night of delicious food and fun.  It is also a great idea for a girls' night out, a unique family evening, or just a reason to bring together good friends. We ask that you observe the following policies regarding Private Parties at the Cooking Experience Irvine.  Please review the following information before making your reservation.

• Private party events are available Tuesday - Saturday night.

• Private party reservations cannot be booked further in advance than our posted calendar online.  All private parties may choose any night that has 14 seats available.
• Private Party reservation must be paid for in full in advance to be reserved.  A 24-hour courtesy hold can be placed on a requested date from the time the request is confirmed, which will prevent any other private parties from claiming that date.  However, due to the nature of our reservation system, we cannot prevent individuals from signing up for the class, so we request that private parties be ready to reserve all 14 seats as soon as possible.
