About Schaffer

Founded in 2008

The story of Schaffer begins with two culinary visionaries: a classically trained, fine dining chef who had led the kitchens of the world’s most decorated dining institutions and an award-winning chef acclaimed for her work executing high-profile private events for New York City’s (and the globe’s) most discerning clientele. It was from here the pair spotted their opportunity to bring the finesse, meticulous attention to detail, and most of all–artistic vision–of their current hospitality practice to the world of events. This commitment to excellence continues today with our staff, whose resumes range from award-winning European restaurants and cult favorite hotspots across North America to longtime hotel, food, and beverage professionals. This expert team collectively brings over 1 million hours of industry experience to the fold. It is a team experienced and expansive enough to deftly execute events at any scale, without ever compromising the boutique, hands-on touch that began it all. Artistic collaborators, seasoned culinary professionals, creative cocktailians, strategic marketers…with Schaffer: Genius is served. On and off the plate.
