Get rehearsed at Maison May

Thoughtful wedding weekend gatherings

Wedding weekends are about more than one day—they’re about time together. At Maison May, Get Rehearsed is our approach to hosting intentional, beautifully paced wedding weekend events. From wedding welcome receptions and cocktail gatherings to post-wedding farewell brunches, we got you covered.

Designed for hosts who value connection, flow, and elevated celebrations, our historic Brownstone offers a private, people-forward setting where each moment of your wedding weekend feels considered and unrushed.

Intentionally created to feel like a home, Maison May allows guests to move through the Brownstone just like they would through somebodies house: Grabbing a drink here, striking up a conversation there – our Brownstone lets everybody pick their own pace and experience and sets the tone for a relaxed event.

It’s the night before your wedding & everyone is finally in the same place. Of course you want everything to be perfect.

Get Rehearsed: Beyond the Rehearsal Dinner

Not every couple wants a traditional rehearsal dinner, but still wants to welcome their guests in a celebratory way.

Get Rehearsed is about redefining how you gather before the wedding—whether that means a casual cocktail evening, a modern welcome party, or a relaxed pre-wedding celebration.

Maison May is well-suited for:

N

Traditional and Non-traditional rehearsal gatherings

N

Intimate pre-wedding cocktail events

As a pre-wedding event venue, Maison May allows couples to focus less on formality and more on meaningful time together.

Start with a cocktail hour in the garden, then move to the downstairs Dining Room for an casual dinner. Or have a small outdoor dinner in the Garden & party with friends in the upstairs Parlor Room. Of course, none of this is set in stone – the night is completely up to you.
