How much does a rehearsal dinner venue cost to hire?

What goes on at a rehearsal dinner?
Your rehearsal dinner is the unofficial kickoff of wedding festivities, and as such, spirits are usually sky-high. At rehearsal dinners, relationships are made and cemented between family members, old friends meet new ones, and everyone gets to unwind a little. Usually, there's ample time for guests to arrive at your beautiful rehearsal dinner venue, whether that's something formal like an intimate private room at a gorgeous restaurant or something more casual like a backyard poolside grill session. Late into the dinner, the host will often make a toast. Traditionally, the groom may also deliver a rehearsal dinner toast to their partner, as well as their partner's family. Anything goes, though! And if the bride and groom haven't given gifts to their wedding party, the rehearsal dinner is also a good time to do that.
Where should you host a rehearsal dinner?
Rehearsal dinners are an area of the wedding festivities where you can really let your creativity shine and where there are essentially no wrong answers. If you browse some of the incredible rehearsal dinner venues near you on Peerspace, we think you'll get the inspiration flowing. You might spring for a classy formal space in a fine dining restaurant or perhaps have catered food delivered to a festive rooftop patio. Whatever you choose, as long as family and friends are celebrated with good food and good cheer, your guests will be happy, and your wedding festivities will be off to a wonderful start.
How should you decorate for a rehearsal dinner?
Keep rehearsal dinner decorations on the reserved side. The rehearsal dinner is usually a more intimate, casual affair, a time meant for the two families to get to know each other a little better, as well as for the families to spend a little more time getting to know the wedding party. It can be a welcome breather in the broader wedding experience—it's after the planning and travel have ended, but before the real fireworks begin. That said, if you want to get creative with it, we've got some unique wedding rehearsal dinner ideas to give your event a little extra flair!
