We know that the rehearsal dinner sometimes gets a little less of the limelight during wedding planning but in all actuality, it should be one of the things you focus on the most! It is typically your smaller group of your most loved people and it’s a concentrated time where everyone is celebrating the impending “biggest day of your life”, so emotions are high and the vibes are electric!
Think of it as an appetizer before the main course—you want the event to not outdo the main course but instead, to compliment it and leave the people wanting more. Which is why your focus should be a location with lots of style, versatility and above all else, the option for a unique and fun setting.
Pick a unique theme
A lot of rehearsal dinners end up in some back room of a local restaurant or shoved in the corner of your wedding venue. We would highly suggest veering away from this and redirect your focus on a small, private space with a creative and interactive activity to carry the night. Think casino night, murder mystery dinner or karaoke party. Gone is the stale and boring sit down meal. Give them small plates, tapas style, entertainment and FUN.
Our favorite and most versatile location near to Culpeper is Seven on Davis, located on the main downtown strip and surrounded by great restaurants, accommodations and little shops. Check out the latest Cowboy Casino Rehearsal Night that Seven on Davis hosted.
