We're here to answer your questions and help you create the perfect pre-wedding celebration. Give us a call at 843-763-9222 to start planning your unforgettable rehearsal dinner in Charleston.
Set Up a Consultation
The first step in planning your perfect rehearsal dinner is to set up a consultation with our team. We will discuss what you have in mind for the event, from your overall vision to the details of your budget and guest list.
Build a Custom Package
Based on your vision, our group of experts will build a custom package for your rehearsal dinner with suggestions for all aspects of the event—including food, bar service, décor, floral arrangements, and more.
Let Us Do the Work
Once everything is planned and set in motion, you can sit back and make the most of your wedding rehearsal dinner. Our team will take the lead on the catering and logistics, working with you as much—or as little—as you would prefer.
Rehearsal Dinner Serving Styles
Wedding meals are as unique and varied as the people getting married. Whether your dream is a barbecue on the porch or a sophisticated display of gourmet hors d’oeuvres, we provide the serving style that best compliments your mood and budget.
Plated
More formal rehearsal dinners often have plated meals, where chef-prepared dishes are brought to each guest or table to encourage a luxurious, seated, communal atmosphere. This service style creates an elegant dining experience that allows your guests to remain seated throughout the meal.
Stations
If you're looking to personalize your rehearsal dinner or get creative, stations are a great option. Offerings can range from on-demand dishes to pre-made small plates, creating an interactive dining experience.
Buffet
Buffets allow guests to select their own food options and quantity. Buffets often alleviate some logistics of individual plates and can satisfy guests all night long, offering a relaxed atmosphere that encourages mingling.

We work with you to create the perfect menu for your rehearsal dinner. No matter the theme, or lack thereof, we can choose a meal that enhances your event experience. Our professional chefs will craft the perfect accompaniment to your celebration throughout the evening, keeping in mind any dietary restrictions.
