Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a rehearsal dinner restaurant?
Look for a private or semi-private room, a set or prix-fixe menu option, and a location convenient to your ceremony venue or hotel block. Ask about noise level too, since toasts and speeches need to be heard.
Who typically attends a rehearsal dinner?
The wedding party, immediate family, and anyone involved in the ceremony rehearsal usually attend, plus out-of-town guests are often invited as a courtesy. Headcounts commonly run 20-40 people, though it varies widely.
When should I book a rehearsal dinner restaurant?
Book 3-6 months ahead for a standard reservation, and earlier for peak wedding season (May-October) or a restaurant with only one private room. Confirm final headcount and menu about 1-2 weeks before the event.
