Rehearsal Dinners at Coco Maya

The night before the wedding deserves its own atmosphere, warm, personal, and a little less formal than the big day. Our private dining room and patio both work well for rehearsal dinners of 15 to 60 guests.

We build a custom menu around your families' preferences and keep the evening moving so toasts, dinner, and conversation all have their moment.

Many couples use the rehearsal dinner to introduce two families for the first time. We keep the room warm and the pacing relaxed, plated or family-style, so the focus stays on the people at the table.
