“We reached out to Chef Ashley and her team about having someone make dinner for us at a vacation rental for a girls weekend. The whole experience from the booking process, meal selection, and the actual evening were top notch. The food and service were fantastic, it felt like we were at a five star restaurant, but in the comfort of our house. It was the highlight of our weekend. Big thank you to Chef Ashley, Chef Mary, and our server Abbie!”

At Southern with a French Twist, we believe that who you invite into your kitchen matters just as much as what’s on the table. That’s why our team is made up of hand-picked professionals who don’t just know their craft—they love what they do.
We’re chefs, servers, stylists, and hosts at heart. Every member of our crew is professionally trained, emotionally intelligent, and deeply committed to creating seamless, meaningful experiences for you and your guests.
We show up early, leave your space spotless, and bring the same care to your AirBnB Vacation Rental that we would to our own family table. From the perfect spoon drag on a dessert plate to the gentle folding of a napkin, we’re here to help you create something unforgettable.
