Wedding is on Government Street about 60 guests Boudreaux’s would be perfect but they will be closed for renovations in February. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

When I got married we had our wedding rehearsal at a park. Boiled Crawfish, Crabs and shrimp with all the fixens. Ended up costing my parents about $700 and we had a blast.

ETA: We pretty coonass though.

If he was doing B&T's his budget is very friendly lol. I believe we looked into that place and it was a hard pass.

This is going to eliminate a ton of options for you. I just went through the same thing for my wedding coming up in November. It seemed like everywhere wanted damn near $40-$50 per head and that didn't include alcohol. Look into places that have buffet options.

I ended up choosing Drusilla Seafood. I don't recall the exact number, but I believe the food alone is going to be under 2k and we have 56 guests. With alcohol it may be pushing 2500. Plus they have a giant menu as well. Many places require you to have everyone's dinner choices submitted up front and they can only choose from 3-4 options. Drusilla had like 8 options or so to pick from and everyone orders once they arrive there. Check em out and see. Might fit your budget.

To be fair that’s a pretty sizable rehearsal dinner.

Private room downstairs at the chimes was where mine was at and it was really nice. Dont think we had that many people though.

That’s where I had mine to, but we didn’t have that many people. If they could accommodate 60 it’s a great place
