A reception and a rehearsal dinner are two different bookings — here's how to plan each one properly.
A wedding reception and a rehearsal dinner call for genuinely different chef bookings in Canada, just as anywhere else. The reception is usually the larger, more formal event; the rehearsal dinner is smaller and more relaxed, often hosted privately.
Some couples use the same chef for both events for consistency, others use a private chef for the smaller rehearsal dinner and a dedicated wedding catering team for the reception. Either approach works — submit separate requests for each occasion.
Earlier is safer for wedding season — several weeks to a few months ahead, since popular dates fill up.
