At the Copper Key, we have developed an extensive portfolio of experience hosting events for a variety of companies, including Netflix, Nike, Spotify, Hulu, and more.

What Sets Us Apart

With the combined experience and passions of Chef Guus Wickenhagen and Michael Duddie, the uniqueness of the Copper Key goes past interest in culinary experimentation and keen management skills.

Chef Wickenhagen began his career in food and drink at Amsterdam’s De Hoop Op d’Swarte Walvis, a Michelin-starred restaurant that eventually led him to a position as Executive Chef of Supperclub in Europe. Meanwhile, in the United States, Michael Duddie was gaining upper management experience at Chocolat before successfully launching Supperclub Los Angeles.

The two combine their unique industry experiences and skill sets and a mixture of European and American sensibilities to create truly one-of-a-kind dishes and dining experiences. Our clients enjoy incredibly fresh and high-quality ingredients that we use for each meal and the refreshing mixtures of cultures that they get to experience with every flavorful bite.
