An ideal feature of booking the entire weekend package is having your closest people surrounding you for the duration of the stay. Some couples wish to host a very intimate rehearsal dinner in the house, backyard, or poolside for their overnight guests - but others wish to have a seated and catered meal. While the house facilities cannot accommodate a rehearsal dinner of 20 guests or more we can open our Fieldstone Barn for a Rehearsal Dinner of up to 40 -50 guests.
A simple DIY Rehearsal Dinner at The 1854 House incurs no extra fees with all Full Weekend bookings, but you can add-on use of the Fieldstone Barn if needed.
Included in the Fieldstone Rehearsal offering …
Available for a 4 hour window
Wooden folding tables with metal tolix chairs for your guests staged and set-up in advance (ideal for 45 - 50 guests)
Use of our plates, napkins, flatware and copper cups (can be styled in advance by our team if you’d like).
Access to our lower level restrooms and catering prep kitchen
Team Representative on-site
A few things to remember …
You are welcome to bring in your own catering, flowers, or other decor
We don’t allow staked tents or table rentals in the backyard because we want to keep the aesthetics high for your wedding!
Just like our wedding policy, our plates, flatware, and copper cups are to be returned clean by your caterer or a cleaning fee applies
A trash removal fee of $50 applies for your small gathering if your caterer is not able to handle removal
This option is always available to guests booking a Full Weekend Wedding package, but may not be available for Venue Day Rental couples.
