We're getting married in October. Our ceremony is in Coronado at the Christ Episcopal Church and the reception is at the Admiral Kidd. I thought we could have our rehearsal dinner at Tom Hamm's but when I called about it, they said we have to have a $2000 food & drink tab! Does that seem high? And it's on a week night!! Our rehearsal has to be on a Thursday because of the church rules. Any ideas for a dinner spot in the Coronado/Pt Loma area! It's going to be a fairly large dinner. (14 attendants, ushers, friends doing readings and several out of town family members & friends)

Check into the Brigantine and Miguels. They are both in Coronado just across from the Hotel Del. Both have large spaces to have a rehearsal dinner and from what I remember it runs about $20-$30 per person.

Good Luck!

I was also going to suggest Miguel's.

The Thursday club in point loma is beautiful and has weddings. I know they are not cheap but check and see if you could do a smaller scale rehearsal dinner there or even better see if there is a friends house that it can be done at and decorate it beautiful. I have done a few at homes catered and they are more intimiate.

Sarah,

How many total people (estimated) do you think will be attending the rehearsal dinner?

If you are willing to go to La Jolla the Cottages do a great dinner for about $26-$29 per person not sure what date they stop opening for dinner but you can give them a call. We had our rehearsal dinner there. The entire place was ours. If you are having about 40 people you can also have a backyard/house gathering for about $20 per person. There are some great caterers in our area that are reasonably priced. Think outside the box. Doesn't have to be a fancy place to be good. You can always go in and decorate or have someone do it for you so it spices up the place.

It's hard to say. We have 14 in the wedding party, 4 ushers, 2 doing readings, and out of town family. So maybe, 40-50.

Our wedding is very formal so I feel like the dinner could be more informal. It's going to be on a Thursday as our church only allows us to rehearse that night despite what day of the weekend we get married
