Congrats Grads! Let's Get This Party Started!
Spring is in the air, and you know what that means... graduation season is officially here! While your awesome grad is busy crossing that finish line, it's your turn to gear up for the big celebration. Don't sweat the party planning – we've got your back!
Here are a few chill tips for throwing a graduation bash everyone will remember, along with some of our go-to menu ideas that always hit the spot:
1. Kick Back with a Backyard BBQ
Venue vibes stressing you out? Keep it easy and host the party right in your own backyard! New England springs and summers are perfect for outdoor hangs. Plus, you can always rent a tent if Mother Nature decides to sprinkle a little. Rain or shine, the good times will roll!
2. Fuel the Fun with Killer Food (Leave the Cooking to Us!)
You've got enough on your plate (pun intended!). Let us handle the delicious details.
Seriously, who wants to be stuck in the kitchen when you should be celebrating your amazing graduate?
At B&M Catering, we're all about those relaxed, crowd-pleasing feasts. Think fantastic Clambakes, mouthwatering Pig Roasts, and classic BBQs – perfect for a backyard shindig!
Here are a few of our most popular menus for graduation party catering:
Want to get a little more custom? No problem! We've got a whole lineup of awesome a la carte items to match your tastes and any dietary needs.
3. Get Your Theme On (If You Want!)
Want to add a little extra flair? Picking a theme can be a fun way to get organized and get your grad involved! From decorations to games and even party favors, a theme can tie everything together. Get creative with those invites and let your guests know what kind of fun to expect!
Thinking of something summery and fun? You can't go wrong with a Hawaiian Luau! Think colorful leis, a cool Tiki Bar, reggae tunes, and our totally tasty Hawaiian Luau featuring pulled pork, teriyaki chicken with pineapple, a tropical fruit medley, and some refreshing Tahitian punch.
4. Crank Up the Tunes!
Keep the energy high with some great music! Have your graduate share their favorite jams so you can create the perfect playlist. Feeling fancy? A local band can really bring that wow factor to your party!
5. Game On! Let the Good Times Roll!
What's a party without some friendly competition? Classic outdoor games like cornhole, KanJam, bocce, croquet, and volleyball are always a blast for guests of all ages. A little healthy rivalry never hurt anyone!

Here’s what people are saying about B & M Catering…
"It has been almost two weeks since your company catered a clambake for my son’s graduation party, and the compliments have not stopped coming our way. The staff, Jim, Matt, and Chris, were very organized, professional, and hardworking.
Their unwavering efforts that met our guests' every need were a perfect match for the delicious food that was served that afternoon. My wife and I look forward to having your company serve us at a future event.”
-George K.
” I worked with this business from out of state to arrange a backyard BBQ graduation party. In every respect, they were easy to work with, helpful, and friendly. By the time I got to the house after graduation, food was set up and guests were being served. At the end of the party, leftovers were wrapped up and stored in the fridge, and everything was left clean. No problem substituting a vegetarian option in one of their standard packages. The food was simple, well-prepared, and nicely presented. A nice business may use them again for graduation number 2 next year. “

”We decided to cater our daughter’s College Graduation party and had to find a caterer. Seeing the great reviews online for B&M, and also heard from others that they used them with success. We decided to give them a try, and I’m so glad we did. They were extremely helpful in selecting a menu and defining how much of what I would need. We ordered from their a la carte menu and everything was delivered hot and on time. The delivery driver was very professional, friendly, and eager to help. The food was exceptional,l and we received rave reviews from our guests. Give them a shot, you won’t regret it and when you do, make sure to order the Corn Bread, it’s amazing! I give B&M an A+ all around!
-Karen K. "B & M Catering made our graduation party absolutely seamless! They were great in early planning, answering our many questions, working around our changing menu and needs. Once on site yesterday, their team was efficient, professional and fun to work with. The best part was the food! Everything was delicious, and the cornbread was the best I have ever tasted. Highly recommend!”
