You will want to get priority seating for you rehearsal dinner so that you can guarantee that your party will be seated together and that you will be able to get in at your desired time etc, .... We had ours at 'Ohana, as mentioned earlier it is all you can eat everyone had a great time. Some people choose to invite their wedding guests and have a "welcoming party". We invited only our bridal party and parents and sent out a small invitation to each person (it wasn't within our budget to have all 30 wedding guests). The night turned out great and everyone had a good time. If you get a nice wedding coordinator, they will set up the priority seating for you, however, they don't have to do it. Our wedding coordinator had us make the reservation ourselves. My advice to you is to call on the appropriate day as early as possible to ensure that you get seating together for your group. I called the first day that PS's were available for my rehearsal day and was only able to get seating at 9pm for our group. Good luck!
