Our Story

Founded by a chef and an architect, Carbōn is a full-service flame-to-table experiential catering and event production studio. We bring together culinary craft, fire and thoughtful environments to create gatherings that feel warm, effortless and deeply human.

Sebastien brings a culinary background shaped by some of Belgium’s most renowned kitchens. At Carbōn, he leads the culinary direction, using fire as both a cooking element and a source of flavor, depth and generosity. His approach is rooted in craftsmanship, instinct and the pleasure of sharing food around a table.

With a background in architecture and a specialization in neuro-architecture, Brenda approaches each gathering through the relationship between people and their environment. She explores how light, sound, space and atmosphere influence the way we feel and connect. This perspective shapes the settings she creates, from the overall atmosphere to the smallest details.

Together, they bring food and space into conversation, creating experiences designed not only to look beautiful, but to feel good to be in.

At its heart, Carbōn comes from something much simpler, a love of welcoming people into their home. The project began in Las Terrenas, where Sebastien and Brenda created their first intimate dining experiences around their own table, bringing people together through food, fire and hospitality. What started as a table at home gradually grew into Carbōn. Today, that same spirit is brought beyond their own walls, helping others create gatherings where hosting feels effortless, enjoy the occasion, and they can be a guest at their own gathering.
