Hibachi Wedding Catering

The rehearsal dinner they'll talk about at the reception.

Fire up your story. · Serving all of Southern California · From $59.90/adult

The wedding weekend has one meal where you're allowed to have actual fun: the rehearsal dinner. Two families meeting for the first time need something to react to together — and a chef sending a flame over the grill beats forced toasts every time.

We cater the wedding-weekend moments where hibachi shines: rehearsal dinners, welcome parties for out-of-town guests, backyard micro-weddings, and day-after brunches. One chef and grill per 28 guests, so a 60-person dinner runs as smoothly as a table for 12.

The moments we design

Every wedding has a highlight. Our chefs build the show around yours.

Two families, one show

The egg toss doesn't care which side of the aisle you're sitting on. By the second trick, the in-laws are cheering for each other.

The golden-hour flame

Time the big flame to sunset and the photographer gets the shot that outperforms half the wedding album.

A couple that actually eats

Every married couple says the same thing: we never got to eat. At a hibachi table, dinner IS the event — the couple sits front row and eats first.

What a great experience having Blue as our chef! Aside from the fact that he made delicious food, he was so much fun and so engaging! We loved having him here to celebrate our friend's BIG birthday!

Just had a wonderful dinner prepared by Blue. He was engaging and entertaining. I would recommend this for any occasion.

Wedding FAQ

Can you cater our actual wedding reception?

For intimate weddings — backyard ceremonies, micro-weddings, elopement dinners up to about 100 guests — absolutely: we run one chef and grill per 28 guests under a single booking. For a formal plated reception for 150+, we'll be honest: that's banquet territory, and where we shine instead is the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, or after-party of that same weekend.

How does a hibachi rehearsal dinner work?

Pick the house — a family backyard, your rental, the Airbnb where the wedding party is staying. The chef arrives about 10 minutes early, cooks course by course with the full show, and cleans up while your families keep talking. Most rehearsal dinners run 25–50 guests across two grills, and a $19.90 deposit locks the date.

How much space do we need?

About a 6x8 ft flat area for the grill plus roughly 10 ft of overhead clearance, in open air — a patio, deck, driveway, or yard all work. The cooking stays outdoors; your guests can eat inside if you like. Send a photo when you book and we'll confirm the setup spot before your date.

How much does it cost?

$59.90 per adult and $29.90 per child (5–12) on the Standard Plan — kids under 5 eat free — with a $599 event minimum. That includes the chef, the live show, 2 proteins per guest, fried rice, vegetables, salad, setup, and cleanup. A $19.90 refundable deposit locks your date.
