With the rise of destination weddings, couples are ditching the "wedding party only" invite list and creating a larger "welcome" dinner or drinks gathering that includes most guests.
Here, we’ve gathered a few of our favorite picks that do just that. From seaside restaurants serving the catch of the day to Michelin-starred experiences in historic hotels.
Located on Kauai, Hawaii’s "Garden Island," Merriman’s Fish House offers an elegant yet intimate setting, complete with sunset views.
Set in the historic hotel The Jefferson, Plume is a Michelin-starred rehearsal dinner restaurant that offers classic fare crafted with modern techniques by Executive Chef Ralf Schlegel.
Whether it’s a casual or more formal rehearsal dinner, the new space and its exclusive terrace offers views of the Miami River.
The restaurant allows wedding parties to personalize their experience by sitting with the executive chef ahead of time to create a customized menu of appetizers, main courses and desserts.
Couples can book the rehearsal dinner to their destination wedding at the recently reimagined Sanctuary Cap Cana Resort & Spa’s Blue Marlin Restaurant.
