An unforgettable evening where world-class cuisine meets extraordinary purpose.

 

The Dining with Heart Gala is an intimate, upscale culinary experience hosted inside stunning private homes with intentionally limited seating. Guests will enjoy an interactive evening with world-renowned celebrity chef Darren McGrady, former personal chef to Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, featuring an exquisite multi-course dinner with expertly curated wine pairings.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before settling in for an extraordinary dining experience. Throughout the evening, Chef McGrady will share stories from his years at Buckingham Palace, followed by an intimate fireside Q&A, creating a one-of-a-kind experience that few will ever have the opportunity to enjoy.

More than an exceptional evening of fine dining, Dining with Heart is an opportunity to change lives. Every ticket purchased directly supports Labeled & Loved, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to strengthening special needs families by providing hope, community, and practical support to caregivers, helping prevent caregiver burnout.
