The night before the wedding is all about connection, and Kaitlyn & Bill’s rehearsal dinner at Fort Brewery was everything a laidback celebration should be.

With an al fresco dinner under twinkling lights, the evening felt relaxed and inviting. Friends and family shared hugs, clinked glasses, and toasted the couple with heartfelt stories and laughter. There were no strict timelines or formalities—just meaningful moments and time well spent.

Jennifer captured the warmth of it all—from casual conversations to quiet glances and big laughter. It was the kind of evening that set the tone for a joyful wedding weekend.

If you’re planning your own rehearsal dinner, take a cue from Kaitlyn & Bill: choose a space that invites lingering and lets you simply be with your people. Fort Brewery’s welcoming vibe and open-air setting made this one feel effortless in all the best ways.
