This is How You Do a Rehearsal Dinner!

Our couple this weekend hosted one heck of a rehearsal dinner at The Villa last night.  Since so many of our couples are planning their rehearsal dinners and cocktail hours at The Villa we thought you'd all like to see how this family did it.

A great location...The Villa Patio

A little ambiance...adding lanterns to the patio stairs.

The best serving staff! We love them.

A bit of music.

Add Tables, Chairs, and Centerpieces to the lower deck.

Have a good barbecue (menu below).

And everyone enjoys.

We recommend a great barbecue from our catering staff for rehearsal dinners.  This family chose the menu listed below.

BBQ Pork Ribs

Smoked Half Chickens

Pulled Pork

Corn on the Cob

Baked Beans

Cole Slaw

Potato Salad

Assorted Custard Pies

We Don't Let Rain Spoil A Party

Tonight's couple planned for an outdoor, lakeside rehearsal dinner but when thunderstorms and rain rolled in we turned their lakeside plans into a cozy fireside dinner.  It turned out to be a beautiful event.

Welcome to The Stables, your "indoor with that outdoor feeling" venue.

Creating a warm glow with a raging fire, candles, and sconces.

This dinner gave us an opportunity to try out our new stemless water glasses.

Happy guests, our favorite kind.

 Beautiful centerpieces from The Nest in Springfield, MO.

Groomsmen relax in the rocking chairs, watching the storms roll in.

With Ozark storms skies quickly go from clear to this...
