Hibachi At Home
The wedding is scripted. The night before shouldn't be. A private hibachi dinner turns your rehearsal dinner into the icebreaker that gets both families laughing at the same table before the big day.
A rehearsal dinner has one real job: get two families and a wedding party who may have never met past the small talk. A restaurant back room does that slowly. A chef flipping shrimp at the head of the table does it in about four minutes. The show gives everyone something to react to together, the toasts happen between courses instead of over cold plates, and the couple gets a relaxed night where the food is also the entertainment.
It also solves the logistics that make rehearsal dinners painful. Hosting at the wedding-party rental house or a parent's backyard means no restaurant minimum, no private-room fee, and no shuttling guests across town. We cook where your people already are — home, Airbnb, lake house, or the venue lawn if your coordinator allows open-flame catering.
Dinner starts at $55 per adult with hibachi chicken, steak, and shrimp as the anchors, plus fried rice, vegetables, salad, and sauces. Most couples upgrade the wedding party to filet mignon and lobster and keep the standard spread for everyone else — easy to split on one invoice. Vegetarian, vegan, halal-friendly, and allergy plates are handled per seat, which matters when you're feeding two families' worth of dietary notes.
Tell us your timeline and we'll work backwards from the rehearsal itself — chefs arrive about 30 minutes early, cook for roughly 90 minutes, and are gone before the late-night hangout starts. Ten-guest / $500 minimum, and we book seven days a week, so a Thursday or Friday rehearsal is no problem.
Yes — we regularly cook at Airbnbs, lake houses, backyards, and venue patios. We need a safe open-air space for the grill; if the dinner is at a formal venue, check that their rules allow open-flame catering and we'll coordinate the rest.
Absolutely. Most couples upgrade the head table or wedding party and keep standard proteins for the wider group. It's all one booking and one invoice.
One grill comfortably serves up to about 25-30 guests; for bigger rehearsal dinners we send two chefs and two grills cooking in parallel so courses land together.
Earlier than a normal party — wedding weekends cluster on the same Fridays. A month or more out is ideal; call or text (929) 595-9308 and we'll hold your date.
