Rehearsal Dinner Venues in/around Elkridge, MD

@Eryn & Steve im tagging in. Im getting married in Elkridge, MD next August and I am also wondering what we will do for a rehearsal dinner. Where are you getting married in Elkridge? Are you looking for something more formal or casual for your rehearsal dinner?

We're getting married @ Belmont Manor. As for the Rehearsal Dinner options, casual would be preferred, but we're open to ideas

@Eryn & Steve That's so exciting! I have yet to meet someone getting married at Belmont. Whats your ceremony location on the property? I am also getting married at the Belmont Manor next August! I was told to try restaurants in Columbia, MD because its so close to Elkridge, MD. These are some restaurants that were suggested to me.

Also Bertucci's in Columbia, MD has private space and very reasonable menu!

I'm also getting married at Belmont August 2016. I have family in Linthicum Heights with a large backyard. I've been thinking of asking them to let us use their beautiful yard, but I don't want to put too much pressure on them. So this is very helpful! Thanks for sharing.

Matthews 1600 was awesome! I went to a RD there last year.

@laura you are getting married the saturday before me at Belmont! how cool! I don't think that would put to much pressure on them if they are up to it. Are they the type that would want to help out? I would love to have family in the area but everyone is traveling from Richmond and NC and we live in Alexandria!

Anyone find any luck on a rehearsal dinner place? My FMIL is now searching for a place. Have you guys heard of Olive Grove restaurant? Its suppose to be a good Italian spot close to Elkridge.

Tagging back in here. I actually just booked our rehearsal dinner spot yesterday. We're going to host at Hebron House in nearby Ellicott City. Its an old farmhouse, and we're going to bring in our own food and beer/wine. This is going to help a bunch with budget I think since we can keep the food casual and get the beer/wine from Costco. The venue was super reasonably priced! It also has the added bonus that we can use it as our actual rehearsal space, since our wedding venue doesn't guarantee rehearsal time the day before (b/c of other weddings - which I understand).

@laura thats great! I called Belmont the other day and they confirmed they are booked for weddings I believe every Friday-Sunday from April through the fall so my rehearsal would have to be on Thursday. Luckily FH's aunt has offered her house and huge back yard for our rehearsal. I figure its not that different since Belmont is also outside and this way we can also have food prepped and ready to go withtout any restrictions. I'm so glad you found a place for your rehearsal dinner! I'll definitely put this on my backup list if things don't work out!
