During the pandemic and our gradual social reopening, we’ve got ideas for planning a small, but delicious and fun, gathering
A strange year to be sure, and also a creative one, as families find imaginative ways to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays and graduations. While some standard traditions are missed, Vermonters are creating new ways to party!
COVID-19 Party Idea #1: Backyard BBQ
Birthdays don’t stop for a virus! Maybe a loved one has a big one coming up?
You thought COVID-19 had squashed your summer dreams of a backyard birthday barbeque. Hardly! Establish your quaranteam, or trusted social bubble, and have a good time, catered by bevo.
Effective June 1, Governor Scott made an incremental increase to the size of gatherings to 25 in Vermont.
According to Play Smart and Play Safe, Vermonters may resume limited social interactions and gatherings of 25 or fewer, preferably in outdoor settings, provided that physical distancing and protocols for hygiene are observed.
Let bevo take the worry out of the food preparation, presentation and cleanup!

COVID-19 Party Idea #2: Graduation Picnic
In a recent article in Kids VT, Montpelier High School graduating senior Christianna Cecere describes the ingenuity Vermont teens have displayed this year in celebrating milestones.
She calls a birthday parade for friends “odd but exciting” and says, “The pandemic has forced us to find new ways to mark holidays, birthdays and, this month, graduations.”
You’re proud of your grad, who has displayed resilience and grace in the face of the cancellation of traditional large-scale graduations for the Class of 2020.
Why not surprise her with a small, fantastic graduation picnic, catered by bevo? Let our team do an event setup at your home, outside in the yard or in another favorite outdoor space.
We can set up in advance, complete all the advance food preparation, have minimal service on hand, and clean up after your grad and his friends have had the best time they’ve had in months!
All you need to provide are the friends, the music and the yard games. Imagine your graduate and a few mask-clad besties playing beanbag toss, horseshoes and bocce ball. Bevo will provide the snacks to keep them playing!
What about GIANT yard dice, yard bowling, or everyone’s favorite dangerous game, lawn darts? ( The safe and legal version, of course.)
As a parent or grandparent, you’ll be present to enjoy the unique event and document for history the socially-distant hilarity. No doubt these memorable shots will be favorites in yearbooks and scrapbooks for a lifetime.
You won’t be burdened by bustling in and out of the house, prepping and providing food and beverages for the graduates — bevo will take care of it all.
COVID-19 Celebration Idea #3: Anniversary Dinner at Bevo
You and your partner have a significant anniversary coming up. 30 years of marriage? 5 months since your first kiss? Whatever the occasion, you had hoped to celebrate in style this summer…until COVID-19.
Enjoy a socially-distanced dinner at our place! Try our venue for a delicious, unique experience in our special event space. We can provide a romantic, locally-sourced dinner for two…or 20! Bevo will take care of the details.
Sad to have to celebrate small? Try this suggestion from UVM Health: “If your family and friends can’t celebrate with you in person, invite them to participate in your celebration by e-mailing or mailing you pieces of marriage advice, family recipes, or favorite memories of you as a couple. On your anniversary, take time with your partner to read through the messages over dinner.”
Prepare to relax, enjoy dinner and forget there’s a pandemic! We feature farm-to-table food and world-class desserts. We prepare special cocktails and tasty libations with the finest Vermont craft beer, wine, and spirits.
We love what we do, and whether you and your family group would enjoy an easy BBQ or picnic in your own yard or a special night out, we at bevo will infuse your event with our passion for food, beverage and service.Please remember with respect to these limited gatherings, Vermonters must prioritize protecting those at higher risk for severe illness. Family and friends should do everything they can to help keep older adults and people with underlying medical conditions safe.
