Yluv16

Hey fellow bbpd brides! I just wanted some feedback from others going through the wedding planning process My fiancée and I are checking in July 14 for our wedding July 16. My coordinator Elizabeth and I have pretty much solidifiedmost of the details BUT the rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks. Has anyone paid the extra charge to have the rehearsal dinner in a private location? I was going to have it in one of the a la carte restaurants but apparently you can't make a reservation for more than 12 guests;we have 30....any way to by pass this? How about having all the guests meet there and getting various tables? Has anyone done welcome drinks? If so, where?
