Wedding Hibachi Catering in Rhode Island: Receptions, Rehearsal Dinners & a Full Bar

Paul Yu

Most wedding food is forgotten by the last dance. A hibachi wedding isn't. When SIFU Hibachi & Sushi Catering rolls the grills into your reception, dinner becomes part of the entertainment — flames, knife-work, and a chef performing for your guests while they eat. We cater weddings and rehearsal dinners across Rhode Island, southeastern Massachusetts, and eastern Connecticut from our commercial kitchen in Cranston, RI.

Rehearsal dinners that beat a restaurant back room

The rehearsal dinner is where hibachi shines first. Instead of a private dining room and a fixed menu, your families get a chef's table in your backyard or venue — chicken, steak, and shrimp standard for every guest, with fried rice, noodles, hibachi vegetables, salad, and edamame. A rehearsal dinner for up to 20 guests starts at $800, all-in.

Receptions built for real guest counts

Most at-home hibachi operators cap out around 100 guests. SIFU staffs weddings up to 600 guests with multiple chefs and multiple grill stations, so food lands hot and the show happens across the whole room — not just one corner. Setup and cleanup are handled by our team, and a dedicated attendant keeps service moving while the chefs perform.

A full bar — not just complimentary sake

Here's the difference that changes a wedding: SIFU holds a Class P caterer's liquor license in Rhode Island. While other hibachi caterers stop at complimentary sake, we run a real, staffed, insured full bar at your reception. Full Bar Service is priced as its own package mirroring our hibachi tiers — hibachi plus a full bar for 20 guests is $1,600 total. Prefer a lighter touch? Add a guided sake tasting for $150.

A sushi bar for cocktail hour

Hibachi and sushi from one team is what makes SIFU unique in Rhode Island. A chef-crafted sushi display during cocktail hour gives guests something beautiful to gather around before the grills fire up, built to your guest count and preferences. Premium upgrades — wagyu, filet mignon, lobster tail, salmon, scallops — are available across the menu.

Pricing you can actually put in a wedding budget

Hibachi catering starts at $800 for up to 20 guests, with each additional guest at $50 — $1,600 for 40 guests, $2,400 for 60, and custom multi-chef quotes beyond that. The quote you approve is the price you pay: travel, setup, and cleanup are included, gratuity is the only thing extra, and we accept card payment. Want a full sit-down affair? Our White Glove Concierge adds tables, chairs, linens, place settings, and elevated service, starting at $1,100 for up to 20 guests. Complete breakdown with worked examples on the pricing guide.

Where we cater weddings

Everywhere in Rhode Island — Newport, Providence, Warwick, East Greenwich, Barrington, Bristol, and the South County beach towns — plus southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut. If your venue allows outside catering, or your reception is at a private home, we come to you.
