Evansville Rehearsal Dinner ideas

Birdie1483

So I grew up in Evansville my entire life, but I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas for our rehearsal dinner. I've been gone for a few years and am coming up with nothing.

Our rehearsal will most likely be on the west side if we can get into the location the night before, but we're open to anywhere. We would like to stay on the West or North side, but can go to the East side if we must.

We'll have around 40-60 people. Do you guys have any ideas for me?

I have the same question. I'm getting married at the bauerhaus and would like a place somewhat close with about the same amt of guests. Any ideas? Any ideas for hotels I can rent out rooms for out of town family?

Lorenzo's behind Schnuck's on the east side is actually doing our wedding and they also do wonderful rehersal dinners.  Another option if you like Greek food is the Acropolis on the east side as well.

Try looking at a few places downtown.  I know my fiance and I are really liking Ri Ra's, which has an upstairs that I know can be reserved (however, I haven't checked out cost).  Lorenzo's, or even Raffi's, are both great ideas.  Raffi's is a great restaurant that has italian food, and a great outdoor area that my grandparents' reserved for their reception.  The food is delicious! : )

For the bride getting married at the Bauerhaus, I am having my reception there as well.  They have recently created a deal with the Marriott, which has some areas for rehearsal dinners.  The price is great for our out of town guests.

My friend had his RD at Hornville tavern and it was really good. They had a big room for us in the back. The only reason we wouldn't do that is because we're most likely going to have them cater the wedding.

My friend had her bridal shower at Lorenzo's and they had really good food! They're not big enough for our RD though.

Same with the upstairs at Ri Ras. I grew up on the East side, so I know of a lot of places there but I think FIL's want to stick to the North or West side. That's why I'm running into troubles!

We are having the rehearsal dinner at Log Inn in Warrenton and I would like suggestions for table decor, photos, fun ideas themes. Happy to have any ideas for a fun night.

Just curious as to which places on the East side you know of? I'm having difficulties as well. Thanks!

Log Inn, Carriage Inn, Haubs steakhouse (all haubstadt and north side)

Acropolis, Riras, Tin Fish,   (Eastside and Newburgh)

Old Mill (West) Good food!

Hope that helps a little

Biagis (spl...) which is right next to Bonefish I believe has a private room.  I've been to a reception dinner at Ri Ra's and it was really nice; the bride said that they worked really well with the family and stuck with their budget.
