Advice Needed

Hey Ladies (and Gentlemen),

I haven't posted here in a while but my brother is getting married in 2 months in Emerald Isle.  I realize that it's different area but I need to come up with some ideas as to what to do for the rehearsal dinner.  I called a BBQ restaurant and got prices but his fiance' decided to call the next day and book it for the reception instead without asking my mom if it was ok.  Now I need to help my mom come with something different.  She's on a limited budget so my husband and I will be helping her out.  Any ideas that we could do for the rehearsal dinner without having to cook anything?  Obviously, BBQ is out of the question.  TIA

Have you looked into Coastal Provisions catering? They are reasonably priced for their family style catering....

A crab boil? Not sure of the cost but it would be different then the wedding food.

I second this :)  A low country boil would be great and can easily be catered!

Coastal Provisions did my catering and they were absolutely fabulous, but I am not sure if they travel all the way to Emerald Isle.  If they do, I imagine it would be pretty pricey given the distance and all.  See if the bbq restaurant can do a boil and if so, ask if they will offer a discount since they are also doing her wedding.  If they don't, ask if they can recommend someone.  I know of a guy, but unfortunately, he doesn't travel that far.
