Brides that had their ceremony at Westbury Manor

do they let you have a rehearsal for the ceremony? When do they usually schedule it for 1 week 2 or 3 days before your wedding?

TIA

we had our rehearsal about an hour before our actual ceremony.

ETA: it took all of 10 min, not even.

OMG! That worries me ALOT.

I wanted to have it at least a week before AND right before the ceremony

Does anyone understand why they don't allow ceremony's on sat? It still doesn't make sense to me. :/

I think they don't let you schedule the Sat or Friday before the wedding because they have other weddings going on on those days. I think that is what they told me.

Don't freak out. There's nothing wrong with having a rehersal right before the wedding. This way no one can forget.
Your ceremony should be about 20 minutes long at the most. All everyone needs to know is when and where to walk, where to sit.
Your banquet manager or maitre'd will take care of the when to walk part. Your officiant will guide you thru everything else.
It is quite unusual for a RH to allow ceremony rehersals. Keep in mind that they do have other events scheduled, and not all RH have a separate wedding chapel that they use.
