Step 1
One great way to find a nice spot for a rehearsal dinner is to go to wedding festivals. Not only will you find people dedicated to their profession, you will also be able to see how the representative of the location reacts in a crowd with a lot going on. If they are attentive to you and thoroughly answer your questions, you can start building some confidence in their professionalism and commitment to quality.
-
Step 2
Talk to friends who are already married and find out their experiences with various locations for rehearsal dinners.
-
Step 3
Ask other professionals you are using who they would recommend. Wedding professionals will recommend people are easy to work with and deliver quality products rather than those who will give them a portion of the fee.
-
Step 4
When you go to interview the representative of the location, ask him or her how long the establishment been in business, how how much food will be served, if the establishment can accommodate individual dietary needs, how much the establishment charges per person, how much the establishment requires for a deposit, and the cancellation policy.
-
Step 5
If the establishment does not offer to allow you to sample his or her food, take that establishment off your list and look elsewhere.
-
Step 6
Be sure to check references. Someone whom the representative thought was pleased may not have been and can give you valuable information.
-
Step 7
Be sure everything the establishment agrees to is in writing in the contract.
