And don’t forget to enjoy the planning process! Working with an experienced, reputable venue & coordination team is not only important, but will take the stress off of you so you may enjoy this very special time (and very special event) in your lives. I’d be honored to help in this process! 

At an early age, Chef John Dirks routinely cooked meals for his family and friends. That turned into a passion for food, and John eventually pursued his career in culinary. After graduating with honors from the California Culinary Academy (Le Cordon Bleu) in San Francisco, John expanded his culinary expertise by working with various restaurants and award-winning catering companies. In 2019, John joined the Presidio Golf Course as Executive Chef, and using his base philosophy for food and service, he has revamped the menus and service style to be approachable and casual, with an upscale twist. Whether he’s serving an intimate dinner for 10 or catering for 1,000 guests, John orchestrates his desire to build great memories for guests through his signature modern comfort food dishes.
