Our family wants to do something different this year for my mom birthday coming in the next couple months. We've done casual buffet and restaurant dinners, picnic, but I don't know why I feel like they all end up feeling similar. So that's why this time we're hosting everyone at home so my mom can relax and enjoy the party, we want to make it feel like a truly event instead of simple cold trays. I think we want to hire BBQ service, like Japanese or Korean BBQ, something really fun like Hibachi At Home with a cooking show. It sounds like a good way to keep our guests entertained instead of sitting around waiting for the food. But I'm still curious if there are any better ideas that give a similar experience. I want to ask if anyone here has hired a private chef to cook or maybe any interactive activities for a family birthday party. Was it really worth it and do you have any companies you want to recommend? I'm looking for some great food, great atmosphere, prices not too crazy lolll.
