Rehearsal Dinners

A more intimate evening, the night before. The Peterson-Dumesnil House dining rooms hold 80 for buffet or 100 for plated, with the porch and grounds available as your reception spills outside.

What is included

• Use of both dining rooms, the entry hall, and the wrap-around porch
• Plated, family-style, or buffet service — your call based on the room and the moment you want
• Custom menu, often a contrast to the wedding-day menu so guests get two distinct experiences
• Bar service with curated wine and cocktail selections
• Setup, service, and breakdown handled by the Clementine team

Most rehearsal dinners we host are for the wedding party plus parents and siblings — 30 to 60 guests. The room scales down beautifully for that, and the kitchen can build a more personal menu when the headcount is smaller.
