We are having our wedding on a Sunday and only have use of the venue on that Sunday starting at roughly 10:00 am. There is another wedding the day before ours so the option of using the venue for the rehearsal the day before is out of the question. I really want to have a rehearsal and a rehearsal dinner the day before the wedding because I'm the type of person that always needs a plan and needs to know whats happening beforehand. In other words, I don't like to just "wing it".
What are some good alternative spaces for having a rehearsal? I was thinking maybe going to a local park and doing a short rehearsal and then having our dinner at a restaurant nearby. Also, the restaurant we are thinking of having our rehearsal dinner at has a big banquet room that we could use. Any other ideas?
