Quick answer
Can hibachi work as a 30A rehearsal dinner?
Yes, for rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, and intimate wedding-weekend meals at an approved home or villa. It is not a substitute we advertise for a large plated reception. Platinum Stars starts at $60 per adult and All-Star Feast is $70. Events have a $500 minimum and $200 deposit. Share the planner timeline, headcount, and property access when you request the date.

Smaller wedding weekend
Intimate villa dinner
A celebration meal for a smaller guest list. For large receptions we can discuss hybrid formats — we do not pitch this as a 150-top plated dinner.

Event FAQs
Wedding hibachi questions
Rehearsal vs reception, planners, guest count, and packages. From $60 per adult, All-Star $70, $500 minimum.
See full menu and pricingCan hibachi replace a formal plated dinner?
For rehearsal dinners and welcome parties, yes when the property allows outdoor cooking. For large receptions, ask about hybrid or buffet-style formats — this is not a 150-guest plated reception service.
Do you work with wedding planners and property managers?
Yes. Share the timeline, headcount, and property access with the booking team. Load-in and pack-out are part of the plan.
How many wedding guests can you cook for?
Typical formats are 12–40 guests depending on the setup. Larger lists need a conversation about format before you assume one grill.
Is hibachi better as a welcome party than a reception dinner?
Welcome parties and rehearsals are the usual fit. A reception for a large guest list is a different format and should be discussed, not assumed.
Which package do wedding weekends usually book?
All-Star Feast at $70 per adult is the common upgrade for rehearsal dinners. Platinum Stars at $60 can mix on the same grill.
What should the wedding host provide?
Approved outdoor space, guest tables and chairs, place settings, planner timing, access notes, and a covered outdoor backup.
