Not every love story needs a ballroom. Couples who eloped, married at town hall or are renewing their vows often want one memorable dinner with the people who matter most. Vyne Restaurant & Bar in Middlebury, CT offers quiet private and semi-private spaces, chef-crafted menus and a full bar for exactly that kind of celebration.
A Private Dinner for Your Closest Friends and Family
An elopement celebration or vow renewal dinner keeps the focus on conversation, toasts and great food. Vyne's small group events include flexible seating for mingling and dining, a coordinated food and drink menu and personal communication with our team, so the evening feels relaxed rather than rushed.
Building Your Celebration Menu
Start the night with appetizers shared family style, such as whipped ricotta with honey and herbs, house-made meatballs or a grazing board with artisanal cheeses and charcuterie. Guests then enjoy a fresh salad and choose from 4 to 5 entrées like braised short rib with red wine demi glaze or garganelli with wild mushrooms. Menus can be customized, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available.
Planning a Vow Renewal Dinner
