A hibachi chef probably isn't your reception caterer. But for the parties around the big day, it's hard to beat.
Rehearsal dinner
The two families, one grill, a chef who gets everyone laughing. It's a relaxed way for people to meet before the big day.
Welcome party
Guests arriving from out of town? A hibachi night at the rental house gives them dinner and a reason to show up early.
Day-after gathering
Everyone is tired, nobody wants to cook, and the wedding party wants one more night together. Easy.
Planning notes
- 10-adult minimum; about 30 guests per chef.
- Your chef cooks rain or shine — plan a covered spot like a patio, garage, carport or tent.
- Add tables with linens, chairs and plate settings for $5 a guest each.
Book early
Wedding weekends fill up fast, especially spring and fall Saturdays. Lock the date with the deposit as soon as your venue is set.
