When your venue isn't available for a rehersal..

what do you do? Do you just not have one? Find someplace else? I would just like people to be kind of aware of cues and like to run through things once.

Re: When your venue isn't available for a rehersal..

  • If you are having a very simple ceremony then you really don't need a rehearsal.  If you want one though you can have one pretty much anywhere.  You could have it in your backyard, in your house, in a private room of a restaurant if you are having a RD there.

    For our rehearsal we didn't have the DJ there to play the ceremony music.  He just knew how many people were coming down and which music to play for which people.  All we did was practice the walking in and walking out twice and then we were done.

  • I would just do it somewhere else if you feel like you need to have one. Also, I'm not sure the type of venue you have, but if you talk with them they might have a different space you could use. Our venue is an old restaurant and bar with several ballrooms upstairs that they use for weddings.  Our DOC told us that if the ballroom we are getting married in is not available for a rehearsal the night before, that we will be able to use another ballroom at our venue for the rehearsal.

  • I'm not able to access my venue ahead of time, so we aren't having a rehearsal. Our coordinator will basically talk us through it right before the ceremony.  Really, you could probably just run through it in your living room or something even. All you need to do is make sure everyone is clear on who is doing what, so having the exact venue probably isn't really critical.

  • I don't think we are going to have one. Our venue will let us rent out the place the night before but, it'll be about $200 when all is said and done. I'd rather spend that $200 towards the rehearsal dinner. We are having a really simple/easy ceremony though and I think we'll be okay just telling everyone the plan of what to do and how everyone will walk down the aisle before and after the ceremony.

  • I know someone who is having theirs on the Wednesday or Thursday before since their venue isn't available on Friday.
  • Our venue wasn't available for the entire week before our wedding. We had our rehearsal in the private room of the restaurant that was hosting our RD

    I'd recommend having one elsewhere. I'd always prefer having one to not having one; it doesn't have to be fancy or quick. It's just very convenient for everyone to get an idea of who walks when, in what order; who stands where; etc. etc.

    You can always make an aisle somewhere. Heck, putting chalk lines down a driveway, or a few chairs in a dining room.
