Di ine rehearsal dinners By McKenna Corson With so much attention on the big day, it’s easy to overlook the event created to allow the couple to take a breath, enjoy a meal and spend time with friends and family, traditionally the night before the wedding. Rehearsal dinners serve as the start of the wedding weekend and mark the time for festivities to begin. Pros from Pinstripes in Orange, Lago East Bank in Cleveland and 56 Kitchen catering in Solon and Mayfield Heights offer tips on the latest trends in rehearsal dinners, from venues to food to decor. 56 Kitchen

Family-style dining is definitely trending because it gets guests to intermingle and talk to each other. It’s a nice option to be able to offer different items for people, with not everyone having to have the same thing. It also gets people conversing ... you’re having a dinner where not everyone knows each other, but they’re sharing a dish, no matter what. They kind of have to get to know each other. - Aubrey Austin, sales manager, Lago East Bank
