Hi there
We have a Saturday June wedding and planning to do a rehearsal at 5pm on the night before (a Friday). We’re renting a banquet room in the hotel from 5-8 (830 latest) to host bridal party and their guest with family for a low key rehearsal dinner. Almost all of our guests are coming in from out of town, bridal party included. Is 5pm a reasonable start time on a Friday for the rehearsal, so even if it goes an hour, we’d still get 2 hours to spend for dinner? I think if most people aren’t taking off Friday, they’re planning to leave work early.
