Rehearsal Dinners in Historic Downtown McKinney
A warm, private room for the night before — chef-driven, Italian-inspired food, house-made pasta, and a setting made for toasts.
The night before should feel like the start of the celebration. Centro on the Square offers a warm, private room in Historic Downtown McKinney for rehearsal dinners — chef-driven, Italian-inspired food, house-made pasta, and a setting made for toasts, family, and the people who matter most.
A warm room for the people who matter most
Our private space is a fully enclosed private room, so the night belongs to just your family and friends. It seats up to 40 guests — intimate enough to feel personal, with room for both families to come together the night before. We set the room to your vision, from a seated dinner to a more relaxed family-style spread.
House-made pasta and chef-driven plates
This is the heart of what we do. Executive Chef Mark Gordy makes our pasta in-house and builds menus worth gathering around — coursed or family-style, with gluten-free pasta options and care for every dietary need at the table. All-inclusive, per-person menus take the guesswork out of planning — one set price per guest, simple to budget.
Made for toasts and togetherness
Raise a glass without rushing. Our private setting gives you the space and the quiet for toasts, speeches, and the moments that make a rehearsal dinner memorable. Included A/V makes it easy to share a slideshow or a few words.
Steps from the charm of downtown McKinney
At 112 E Louisiana St on the historic square, you and your guests are surrounded by the warmth of Historic Downtown McKinney — a beautiful backdrop for out-of-town family and the night before the big day.
