Colorful Outdoor Wedding Rehearsal Dinner With A Band & Donkeys
Who doesn’t love a pre-wedding party with donkeys? This colorful wedding rehearsal dinner was an outdoor event not to be missed. From the table decor to the flowers, there are bold colors abound.
Guests enjoyed an outdoor soiree complete with a dance floor, cocktail tables and donkeys adorned with saddle bags delivering drinks. Of course, there was a band too to keep the vibes alive all night long. The outdoor venue lent itself beautifully to chic round tables with bold linens plus heaters and fire tables for when the evening turned a bit chilly - after golden hour!
An outdoor evening wouldn’t be complete without some fun games, too! Guests enjoyed games alongside the dance floor. This rehearsal dinner had it all for the guests - drinks, food, music dancing and games.
You’ll see through the images photographed by Craig Peterman that the guests enjoyed their evening at this rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding day.

Adding entertainment to your wedding rehearsal dinner makes it an event, rather than just a meal. With live music your guests will enjoy a happy atmosphere that is perfect for casual chats and catching up with family and friends. Offering fun lawn games is a great way to break the ice between guests who may not know one another yet or allow those old pals to share some laughs together. (Don’t miss these fun games to enjoy with your guests at your rehearsal dinner.)
We can’t forget about those sweet donkeys! They’re another great conversation starter for your wedding rehearsal dinner and help serve guests with lemonade, margaritas or water bottles to help stay hydrated.
