You might have to downscale for a wedding this year, but bevo can help you plan a mini Vermont Wedding for the coronavirus pandemic
For 2020 brides-to-be and grooms-in-waiting, this pandemic season may seem like a strange and often frustrating one for keeping a wedding date, but all is not lost!
The latest news may have you thinking, hey, maybe we should go ahead with our 2020 Vermont wedding.
Is this crazy enough to work? Can you still hold your COVID-era Vermont wedding?
What do you need to make this happen? Your agreeable partner, your officiant, a handful of near and dear guests, and bevo to cater!
Enter “The Minimony” – the Socially-Distanced Wedding
The Knot explains, “A minimony is considered a commitment ceremony between you and your partner, and it can include up to 10 people—as long as you adhere to social distancing measures. The health of you and your loved ones should be priority throughout the planning process.”
Safely Celebrate
Your fiance and you may be great candidates for a tiny, gorgeous, catered Vermont wedding.
Many nuptials are postponed, but Vermont’s Play Smart and Play Safe guidelines make it possible for you to tie the knot — right away!
As of May 6, 2020, Governor Phil Scott announced Vermonters may “resume limited social interactions and gatherings of 10 or fewer, preferably in outdoor settings that allow for greater physical distancing protocols.”
Such as, your wedding!
“Provided that physical distancing and protocols for hygiene consistent with guidance from VDH and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), are observed,” your minimony is a go!
Don’t forget, you could always have your no-holds-barred, grand extravaganza reception celebration at a later date.
While your 2020 marriage might not happen the way you imagined, there are lots of reasons to love your Vermont wedding right now!
Easy on the Bank Account
Weddings and receptions are memorable, meaningful…and expensive!
Social isolation has a lot of people rethinking what is really important. For you and your partner, what is really meaningful right now might look less lavish than pre-pandemic plans.
Wedding Wire points out, “[Wedding] events will be intimate by default now, allowing couples to perhaps spend more on details and the experience as a whole.”
Why not keep it simple…and affordable? Read on to find out how bevo can help.
No Plus-Ones and Guest List Kerfuffles
When you can only invite your closest circle to your ceremony, you don’t have to worry about overdoing it on the guest list.
No more rationalizing about second cousins and work friends. No more hemming and hawing about whether to invite your fiance’s eccentric uncle or your cousin’s six children…it’s simply no!
You may consider providing a livestream or video of your ceremony for those unable to attend
It’s About Your Union
What a special sense of joy and appreciation for your marriage in 2020! A wedding ceremony at this time represents true commitment…and a healthy dose of humor and creativity.
Your tight-knit guest list will never forget the experience of attending your unique wedding during this historic time! It will be an intimate, beloved memory for the couple and the attendees.
And hey, Vermont is just as beautiful as ever as a backdrop and setting for your I-dos.
Easy seating chart
Wedding Wire states, “When it comes to guest seating at [limited gatherings], expect to see smaller tables, spaced more of a distance—think more restaurant-style seating.”
It doesn’t get any simpler: one table for the happy couple. A few tables for your guests. The delicate part is following distancing guidelines and safety protocols.
Leave that to the professionals!
Why not let experienced Vermont caterer bevo take care of those details?
