Since the wedding is half Jewish (on my part) and we are getting married at the GW Manor (no church or synagogue), there is no rehearsal. How will everyone know what to do? I am envisioning complete chaos, of everyone walking down the aisle at the same time, tripping and pushing each other. I am exaggerating, but really-- how will we know?
We are doing a quick run through of the ceremony about an hour beforehand.
We're having the ceremony at the reception site. The rabbi is coming a little early although I'm not sure if he is participating in the rehearsal (I don't think a rehearsal is traditionally done in Jewish ceremonies). The rabbi explained the order of the processional and recessional to us when we met with him. Also, about an hour before the ceremony, someone at our hall will do a rehearsal with us (I assume just to go over the processional and recessional order). I'm sure your hall has had Jewish ceremonies in the past. They should be familiar with the processional and recessional in this type of ceremony and should be able to go over it with everyone that day. Just speak to someone at the hall.
Our Officiant told us we would do a 'quick run through'.... and because the day of was so hectic we never got to. It was kind of a mistake and one of the few things that went wrong on my day. Stupid things went wrong, like when my dad walked me down the aisle and the officiant asked him 'Who gives this woman away?' my dad wasn't sure what to say..or even if he was supposed to. Or how about when the officiant asked DH what do you offer as a sign of you love, I actually had to whisper to him 'he means the ring' it was really embarassing. It was our own fault though for not paying more attention to it prior to the day of. I would def reccomend going through it with everyone who has something to say/do (even if the officiant can't be there) prior to the day of.

I'm in the same exact situation as you, but in a different hall.
our officiant said we can practice 1/2 an hour before. after we sign the marriage license.
