About Rehearsal Dinners

The rehearsal dinner is one of the biggest pre-wedding events that gathers friends and family members. It's a thanksgiving occasion of sorts hosted by the couple gearing for the walk down the aisle as a way of expressing their gratitude to everyone who has helped organize their big day.

Like any other gathering, planning one of these pre-wedding soirees can easily prove tasking. For starters, it's yet another event to worry about planning on top of putting together the big day. While most end up being intimate and simple gatherings, there should be some wow factors weaved into the function to truly make the guests attending feel appreciated.

A church rehearsal typically precedes the dinner, in the case of religious nuptials. Whatever the case, the process starts with locking down the perfect rehearsal dinner space and Giggster gets the heavy lifting done by providing plenty of beautiful options across various cities.

The Best Rehearsal Dinner Venues

Just like the big day, planning a rehearsal dinner involves making choices. For starters, the theme and scale of the event guide the process of choosing the best rehearsal dinner location. Here are some remarkable venue ideas to get you started.

  • Restaurants
    Most restaurants provide the perfect recipe to host an event. For starters, they take care of the meals and provide the perfect backdrop to host a rehearsal dinner. You also have the option of locking down the entire dining establishment or booking a private room within the restaurant for the occasion.

  • Campsite Retreat
    A rehearsal dinner also doubles up as an occasion to get everyone even more excited about the big day. Why not retreat to a sprawling campsite or tropical jungle to truly give everyone a break from the stress of planning the wedding? A fun venue like an 11,000-square-foot tropical jungle campsite could be perfect for your upcoming rehearsal dinner.

  • Creative Loft Spaces
    If you want more control over the ambiance and setup, in general, your best bet is to go for a creative loft space. It's an ideal venue for an intimate gathering such as a rehearsal dinner. Given that most are well-lit as well, you are guaranteed to snap lovely photos documenting your special occasion.

  • Upscale Homes and Retro Apartments
    Perhaps you are hosting out-of-town guests or visiting your home city for the nuptials. Consider renting an upscale home or retro apartment for the occasion. Fully furnished private residences exude a cozy atmosphere that will help you and your guests feel right at home.

What to Look For in Rehearsal Dinner Spaces

A rehearsal dinner gives your guests a sneak peek of what to expect during the big day. Even knowing that you can piggyback on some of your wedding ideas doesn't make the occasion any easier to plan. Here are a few guidelines that should help you with the rehearsal dinner venue selection process and also guide the overall planning.

  • Capacity
    The number of guests expected should ultimately determine the amount of space you'll need to accommodate everyone. By nature, rehearsal dinners maintain a small headcount but again, each event varies based on personal preferences. You ultimately want a venue that is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable.

  • Accessibility
    The rehearsal dinner usually takes place on the eve of the wedding, but this aspect also varies from one couple to the next. Most couples host it when their loved ones are available to attend or are in town for the big day. Make things easier and convenient for everyone by also settling for an accessible rehearsal dinner site.

  • Layout
    The advantage of choosing a restaurant, hotel, or furnished apartment is that they come with a pre-set layout. You can always move things around and include decorative pieces to dress up the venue as needed. Rehearsal dinners also don't require any intricate layout or sitting charts unless there are special activities lined up for the occasion.

  • Catering
    Guests expect that meals will be served at a rehearsal dinner. Again, it doesn't have to be a multi-course meal or even a formal dinner. You can have a barbecue or a cook-out if you decided to book a self-catered venue. The groom's cake is typically part of the rehearsal dinner menu.

  • Amenities and Services
    Comfort is key when hosting any type of gathering and the amenities bundled up with the rehearsal dinner space matter as well. For instance, it's an added plus to have access to cooling or heating systems, valet parking, Wi-Fi, and photography services.

Rehearsal Dinner Inspiration

A rehearsal dinner essentially combines two occasions: a practice session followed by an intimate gathering attended by immediate family members and friends. The key to making both events truly special is by going for a venue that will leave your guests with lasting memories.

  • Rustic Rehearsal Dinners at Farmhouses
    The rustic theme is still in trend and gives you the opportunity to make the most out of a farmhouse location. A farmhouse provides the perfect stress-free setting for you and your guests to simply relax. The breath of fresh air provided by an outdoor rustic atmosphere takes the chill factor to the next level.

  • Formal Dinners at Banquet Halls
    It's still a great idea to treat your loved ones to a special dinner at a fancy location. A formal dinner hosted at a banquet hall works if you have guests who won't be able to make it to the actual wedding. In essence, the venue suits those who envision hosting a grand occasion.

  • Rehearsal Dinners at Loft Spaces
    Loft spaces have gained popularity as event venues because of their flexibility. They are spacious by nature and give you the room to dress them up as needed for diverse occasions. Such a space works for both the practice portion of the day as well as the dinner planned to crown the occasion.

  • Brunch at a Garden
    It's not cast in stone that a rehearsal dinner should take place in the evening. Hosting a brunch is a great way to shake things up and give everyone enough time to mingle and catch up. It's a particularly wonderful option if you have out-of-town guests visiting specifically to attend the big day.

  • A Cooking Event at an Outdoor Kitchen
    You'll leave a delightfully delicious impression by hosting a cooking event at an outdoor kitchen as part of your rehearsal dinner. It's a worthwhile option for foodies who enjoy learning new cooking techniques. The icing on the cake is of course digging in to enjoy the meals you and your guests have prepared.
