Rehearsal dinners are an important aspect when planning your big day. In addition to the wedding ceremony and reception, the rehearsal dinner is the setting and kick-off event where the two families come together — sometimes for the first time. It sets the tempo for the special event, so it must be perfect.
In Maine, you can find anything from hotels and resorts with banquet halls and restaurants that accommodate wedding parties — even lobster feasts or clambakes for the rehearsal dinner at a beach club or on the beach. You might even consider chartering a boat for a floating rehearsal party.
How memorable for you and your friends, family, and guests to have a unique Maine setting for your rehearsal dinner on the beach, overlooking the sea, or at a secluded lakeside resort. It’s the perfect way to start your wedding festivities off right.
