Chele Catering Is Where Every Bite Perfects Every Moment 

Chef Chele Gonzalez is reshaping catered events in Manila through thoughtfully presented culinary experiences marked by great precision, flavor, and hospitality. 

Since it officially launched in March 2025, Chele Catering has brought the refinement and creativity of Chef Chele Gonzalez’s renowned restaurants to the more intimate landscape of private events, each experience designed to be just as warm, personal, and memorable.

This attention to detail and inimitable reputation comes as no surprise, given the distinctions of the minds and hands behind it: the catering service is the only one in Manila led by Michelin-starred chefs, Chele and his longtime colleague Chef Carlos Villaflor having been recognized with several Michelin stars across a shining culinary portfolio of contemporary gastronomy.

How Chele Catering Came To Be

Known for his acclaimed dining concepts Gallery by Chele, Asador Alfonso, and Deli by Chele, Chele established his catering service in response to loyal guests who wanted to take his unforgettable flavors to their own celebrations, especially in the wedding scene, with discerning couples eager to ensure their cuisine—undoubtedly a central part of any occasion—would do their special day justice. 

“For us, catering is about creating experiences people remember long after the event ends,” Chele explains. “Whether it’s intimate dinners, weddings, or large celebrations, our goal is to deliver the same creativity, precision, and warmth of hospitality our guests know from our restaurants—while making each event uniquely personal.”

How Chele Catering Fits All Kinds Of Celebrations 

Chele Catering operates through two different concepts tailored to suit various needs and celebrations. 

First is Chele Catering, which presents a more refined take through thoughtfully plated menus featuring Signature Creative Cuisine, contemporary Continental dishes, Spanish influences, and interactive live stations. It’s made for those elevated events like weddings that require an added touch of panache, each course made to complement the flow and tone of the celebration.

Then there’s the Deli by Chele Event Catering, which centers on a more approachable and relaxed experience as a spin-off of the brand’s original deli concept. This time, it finds its footing in a fuller expression of comfort, creativity, and Filipino-inspired flavors, with Chef Carlos incorporating inventive local twists that reimagine familiar flavors through top-tier technique and execution. Whether it’s artisanal sandwich bars or customizable buffets, offerings from Deli by Chele Event Catering are meant to lend an air of vibrant generosity that feels like home. 

Meet The Hospitality Team Of Chele Catering 

Behind every event is a hospitality team working to ensure that every detail falls into place from planning to execution. Leading operations is Cyril Addison, who oversees both the business and beverage programs while directing service across events. His role ensures that celebrations unfold with structure, exacting execution, and consistency, creating experiences that feel seamless from beginning to end.

Alongside him is Director of Events and Experiences Teri Gonzalez, whose more than 25 years of expertise in F&B and event planning includes 15 years with Shangri-La Hotels. Her experience informs every stage of the process, ensuring details and guest experiences are managed to a tee. 

Chele Catering has already served a roster of distinguished clients including Louis Vuitton, Lexus, Lucerne, Hermes, and Ferrari Philippines, as well as established itself as a presence in some of the country’s sought-after event venues. These include The Blue Leaf Events Pavilion, The Lakehall at Nena’s Sanctuary, and The Fifth at Rockwell, particularly as a preferred partner for weddings and milestone celebrations.

The usual notion of catering is great bites, and that’s true, but Chele Catering always goes several steps further. What it does is place exceptional flavors at the center of operations that never take a single detail for granted, creating something guests can taste, feel, and remember even after they’ve had their final bite—and that’s what turns food into an experience worth carrying with you.
