Birch Wood Vineyards

irch Woods knocked it out of the park and exceeded every one of our expectations. From the initial meetings, Melisa was open and honest with how the billing process was (laying out everything in detail with no hidden fees), always there with any questions we had throughout planning, to our decoration drop off, everything was seamless. She ran through the entire day on how things would go. I knew just then this was the place for us. I am a very organized person so finding someone who i could trust was everything. So the morning of, my bridal party used the suite to get ready, it was the perfect set up for hair and makeup. I was blown away by how much work everyone put into finding spots for every decoration I had. When my husband and I were taking pictures, we had our own bartender/waiter to make sure we had enough food and drinks and were not missing out during cocktail hour. The food was spectacular, and the night was perfect. At the end, the team had boxed up everything, and was already putting it into our cars, they even managed to save pieces of my wedding cake. My husband and I think back on this day and remember it as one of the best days of our lives, one we wish we could re-live again and again and for that we cannot thank Birch Wood enough. The team was incredibly organized, the food was AMAZING, everyone was so sweet to us. I received so many messages from guests on how Birchwood made them feel safe and how it was just the perfect wedding during a pandemic. Thank you for your hard work, it showed! We will forever be great full for everything your team did for us.

l for the rest of your lives. Everything from the staff accommodating your needs 100 % for the entire event to the perfection of the venue itself inside and out. Everyone who attended the wedding has reached out to me saying that they have never been to a wedding that was so well put together as it was for ours and as fun as ours and to be honest that was all Birch Wood because I have not a clue what I’m doing when it comes to that stuff. Food is important for a lot of people. Most people enjoy eating, well the chefs here enjoy cooking and it shows! From the displays of the food to the taste, it was immaculate. The food was also a high topic conversation that people reached out to me about after the fact. This place truly cares about what you want for your day and you can really feel that! If your looking for your event to be perfect and everything you want it to be then I wouldn’t look past Birch wood vineyards. I now understand why the people who I know got married here said they booked it before they left the parking lot and it shows! It’s all around amazing and I’m not quite sure any wedding I go to in the future will be able to match the experience that we had. Thank you to all the birch wood staff and the vendors who made our day, our day and more! Abbe and Cody Delaney

extremely professional and took care of every last detail to ensure a stress free and enjoyable day for everyone. We used all of their vendors from the vendor package and couldn't be happier with our decision. We wish we could relive the day again and again. You won't be disappointed having a wedding at Birch Wood Vineyards!!

pful in answering my many questions and patient with all the times we changed our minds about the little details. They made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout the entire wedding planning process. Shannon and Melisa were always quick to respond to emails which was such a stress reliever! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to the incredible staff. They set up our ceremony and reception space with all our decorations exactly as we imagined it. They truly didn’t miss a beat the entire day. KASIA made sure all of us were well taken care. Her and Rachel were so kind and helpful after the ceremony in helping to hold flowers, keep us hydrated, and most importantly- make sure our day was exactly what we wanted. When some stitching came loose on my dress they were there with safety pins in a flash. We even had a couple of kids at the ceremony who were greeted with coloring books - a fun surprise we had no idea coming (and the kids and their parents loved it). Every member of the Birch Wood Vineyards staff was so kind, it made our entire wedding day that much more special. I certainly can’t leave out all the amazing food! From the mac n cheese martinis to the salads to dinner itself, everything was delivered and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. I could go on and on about Birch Wood Vineyards, but I’ll end by saying that it is the most amazing venue with an incredible staff. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding!

cktail hour space, I thought there was a really nice flow to the ceremony this way. The staff there is amazing, they pulled off a perfect day! Kasia, Melissa and Scott are the absolute best! They executed a seamless day and made sure our every need was taken care of. Lastly, the food was absolutely amazing! We got so many compliments on the aesthetics, professionalism of staff, attentiveness of staff to guests, and the delicious food!

nt, and received a swift response to our online inquiry. Melisa greeted us and walked us through the space we knew would be the perfect backdrop for our wedding. The rustic, cozy, and lodge-feel is perfect for any season; but in our case was a true show-stopper for our December winter wedding. The major perk - you have the whole site for your event! There’s no worry about directing your guests which room to find. Two grand event spaces - for a ceremony & reception and a cocktail hour room. It was so refreshing to see a space specific for the mingling and sipping guests would be doing between ceremony and reception. With a bridal suite and a groom’s den available, we enjoyed the whole day getting ready and celebrating with our wedding party! Of course there’s also the gorgeous vineyard and beautiful landscape for ceremony and/or pictures. Walk into the venue and you’ll be sold. For two years we prepared and planned and everything to-do was so clearly defined by the team at BWV. We never felt overwhelmed in the process; and anytime we had a question, someone on the team was eager to help! Did we mention our wedding was in 2020? You can imagine the constant concern and worry about hosting an event, but Melisa and the rest of the team kept us positive and grounded in hosting our wedding. The packages are suitable for any budget, customizable for anyone looking to add some extra enhancements, and even include a vendor package option, which was a great option for us as we saved time and didn’t face any stress in choosing the main vendors you search for when planning a wedding. The food to put it plainly is delicious, but to put it more robust - the food is undoubtedly the best food we have ever had at an event venue. (We aren’t biased that our wedding was hosted here!) The stationary hors d'oeuvres were so beautifully displayed and the passed hors d'oeuvres were actual melt-in-your-mouth bites of delicious food. So good that we indulged in the leftovers after the wedding in our hotel room! The dinner options are extravagant. There are so many options to choose from all with their unique flavor profile. The compliments we received were overwhelming and we could only agree that it was out of this world delicious. The team went above and beyond. We worked with Scott and Kasia the day of our wedding and they were so attentive, so kind, so professional. We were catered to with every step, every sip, and every smile. We are still in awe at the service we both received throughout our day. The bar staff was amazing: so personable, quick, and friendly. As we are very specific and detail-oriented people, there were nerves letting someone else decorate the space when there was a vision in mind - but we were ASTOUNDED by the way they ran with our vision and brought our decor and ideas to life. The service is impeccable, the grounds are gorgeous, and the venue was a wonderful location for the moment we began our forever! If you’ve made it this far in the review - hopefully you’ve already called or emailed to book your day. You truly won’t be disappointed!

perfect classy and rustic look. From the very beginning they put my mind at ease with their organized information and answers to my many questions. I am a planner, so having to change my wedding 3 months prior was a bit stressful, but they took care of everything and made most of my stresses go away. I sent a million emails the few months before, and I always got a response within minutes. The day of thing went seamlessly! From the moment I got there, my nerves were gone, as they knew exactly what to do to make everything run perfectly. The team thought of things I wouldn't have thought of. They were extremely patient, professional, attentive. They took care of me and my now husband, my guests, thought of every detail throughout the day. I am so happy this is where we got married...everything happened for a reason!

what, in some way our wedding was safe at Birchwood even if we have to move the date. Having your venue and your vendors behind you during one of if not THE hardest times on the industry was incredible. Through it all we knew that we were blessed to have pick such wonderful people to help us with our big day. When they say you get what you pay for, I don’t think we could have paid enough for the piece of mind Birchwood gave us in the early days of 2020. Fast forward to the day of and we are facing a snow storm in October. While it happens once and a while, not something you plan for often. Of course you want things to be perfect, and this was a new hurdle. The venue had the lot plowed, the paths shoveled and the fire places burning. In what could have been a real downer of a day due to weather, it really turned into something special do to their focus on details. Every vendor from our package was great. The DJ, the photos, the video, the cake and the limo. All of it went so smoothly day of for us which really allowed us to just have a good time and celebrate. If you use Birchwood, trust their vendors you won’t be let down (shout out to Get Down Tonight Entertainment, Precious Moments videography, Chickidee Hill cakes and Black Tie Limos). And finally, the staff. Kasia was with us from minute one day of the event. She and her team executed our vision for decorations flawlessly. Many times making recommendations that really added to the event or were better than our own ideas. Having a team that knows how to keep a schedule for us was wonderful, it allowed us to hit every important moment with out having to worry about it much ourselves. I can’t state enough how wonderful the Birchwood staff was for us. Our friends and family were raving about how beautiful the venue was, how amazing the food was and overall just the great night they had at our wedding. Speechless on how hard they work to make everything perfect. My parting advice to future couples looking at Birchwood, cancel your other visits because you will not be able to do better. Thank you Birchwood, we owe so much of our big day’s success to you - The Gagne Newlyweds 10.30.20

1. Aesthetic -- the beautiful vineyard enveloping the outdoor ceremony space, combined with the elegant rustic cocktail & reception space was the match made in heaven for what we were looking for. Birchwood staff puts thought and excellence into every visual detail of their venue space - especially when it comes to their gorgeous, seasonal landscaping! 2. The staff -- from the very first tour, and throughout our entire experience, both myself, my now husband, my parents, and anyone that interacted with the Birchwood staff have had nothing but praise for them. They truly are your partners, and their level of customer service and attentiveness to their couples & couple's families is next level. When Covid hit, and backup plans needed to be discussed, Birchwood was immediately prepared to offer alternatives to our original plan, and do anything in their power to still make our day special, given state guidelines. 3. This place has thought of everything -- no, I really mean it. Everything. From hooks in the main foyer and the bridal suite for optimal wedding dress photos, to the immense amount of space in the bridal suite bathroom for all types and sizes of dresses to fit, to the layout and design of every space, this venue has truly thought everything through! Past the detail in the spaces, when it came to day-of details, the staff was on top of it ahead of time. They had already sent us a "bridal party drink order form" so they could bring our choice of cocktail to us during photos. We had talked through every detail of the day so everything could run as smoothly as possible. We felt so taken care of! I could not speak more highly of Birchwood Vineyards and would recommend them to ANY bride in the New England area!

ther wise so we had an outdoor ceremony, which was breathtaking, well manicured and absolutely beautiful. The indoor reception and cocktail hour space were also stunning and our guests raved about them. Their food is TO DIE FOR. Best steak I have ever had and our guests LOVED our appetizers, including crab rangoon and buffalo chicken tenders! The staff at Birch Wood are completely unmatched. They did absolutely everything, leading up to and during our day, to make sure we and all of our guests were happy. I cannot praise the staff enough for their professionalism and ability to ease of minds during times of high stress in the planning process. Kasia and Scott (and really everyone there, cannot stress that enough) were amazing during the planning process and Kasia was the best during the day of making sure everything ran smoothly, including bustling me up while I snacked on some of our appetizers! This was my absolute dream wedding and they made the planning process so smooth and seamless I just cannot recommend them enough!

e to Covid. Kasia and Melisa helped us with any questions we had and accommodated us with our new date. On the wedding day Kasia made sure our wedding day was great and we were happy and comfortable. We couldn't ask for a better venue or team. We are extremely thankful to them. With every thing going on they took great precaution and went above and beyond to make our special day go extremely smooth and as planed.

. with Birch Wood, you get an entire TEAM at your service. They are incredibly organized and punctual and make wedding planning and the event the day of run seamless. Thank you so much Melisa, Scott, and everyone else at Birch Wood!

nd it was done with ease!! I can’t say enough about Birchwood Vineyards, every detail was addressed. If you want the perfect shower or event, Birchwood is the place to go!

ere Melisa had a book ready of menu items (complete with how each entree would be presented), how open and honest all the billing process was (laying out everything in detail with no hidden fees), to our decoration drop off, everything was seamless. We had gotten married at a church nearby, and our reception was held at Birch Woods, so the morning of I didn't have any time to see the room set up, but when I got there I was blown away by how much work everyone put into finding spots for every decoration I had bought in our two year engagement (it was a lot). When my husband and I were taking pictures, we had our own bartender/waiter to make sure we had enough food and drinks and were not missing out during cocktail hour. Two members of the team even bustled my dress before we were announced! The food was spectacular, and the night was perfect. At the end, the team had boxed up everything, and was already putting it into my families cars, they even managed to save pieces of my wedding cake (something I had totally forgotten to ask for) and leftover meals! My husband and I think back on this day and remember it as one of the best days of our lives, one we wish we could re-live again and again and for that we cannot thank Birch Wood enough. The team was incredibly organized, the food was AMAZING, everyone was so sweet to us, and just seemed to enjoy working there. Thank you for your hard work, it showed!

d fell in love with the setting immediately just through photos. It was the perfect combination of rustic, without being a barn, and elegant. We had our ceremony indoors, in front of the beautiful fireplace. The cocktail hour room is MASSIVE and allows yours guests space to mingle during the first hour after the ceremony. From the very beginning, the staff was super helpful and responded very quickly via email to any questions we had. We had our planning meeting with Melisa, and she was more than accommodating to help with any special requests we had. Our day of manager was Kasia and she is an absolute super star! She helped wrangle all 20 members of my bridal party during the ceremony rehearsal and made sure that everything stayed on time the day of. She was constantly checking in on me & my husband to make sure we had everything we needed and were having a good time. During dancing someone had dropped a glass on the dance floor and I had accidentally stepped in glass (the shoes had come off at that point and I was barefoot), but before I even knew what was happening - there was Kasia with rubber gloves, a wet napkin, a bandaid and a pair of flip flops?! We can not talk more highly of Kasia and her team. Our guests also cannot stop talking about how amazing the food was. We had filet mignon, pan seared salmon and butternut squash ravioli and all three entrees got rave reviews! Along with the endless passed apps and stations that were offered during cocktail hour. We cannot thank Birch Wood Vineyards more for making our wedding day the BEST DAY EVER!

e the staff was and honestly so was I! Scott was my day of manager and he was constantly checking on me, my (now) husband, family and guests every chance that he could. Sarah was also amazing and worked with Scott and myself to seat guests that showed up unexpectedly and handled it so well I just let them take care of everything while I went back and mingled with the guests. Also, a shout-out to John the waiter that was with my husband and I the whole night and was a trooper following us around for pictures with food and drink. From the first time we walked into Birch Wood, we knew the place was perfect for us! The venue is so unique, and the owners Rue and Sallie have truly made a unique and remarkable place and you can tell they really put their heart into it! The staff worked with us to create the perfect day from ordering special wine for my mother-in-law, offering a different type of dessert as well as boxing up cake, accommodating our unique timeline, and dealing with last minute changes and special circumstances to make our day the best day ever. We used most of the vendors they recommend, and we could not be happier with them! Thank you to all of the staff that made our day amazing! We are still blown away with everything and so glad we chose Birch Wood Vineyards!

eces. From a personal bride attendant on the day of (thank you Victoria!!) to just helping set up the decorations at the venue that you can't figure out where to place. They will allow you to enjoy the day without worry. Lastly, their food is nothing short of spectacular. This place is really the whole package.

t from our families or guests – everyone is raving about our wedding day being the best wedding they have been to! The bridal party got ready in the bridal suite on site which was awesome because you are right there on site in a very private beautiful space but also, we could pop downstairs at any point to peek at the set up! All day Scott & team were checking in on us and both of our parents to make sure everything was ok and offering to get us drinks/food/anything which was so wonderful. Even during our family photos at cocktail hour, the server was bringing John & me sips of water / our signature drink between pictures which was awesome! Our first look, ceremony & family photos ran so smoothly & efficiently that we were able to make a full round at cocktail hour to greet all our guests which gave us time to enjoy ourselves during the reception!! Another unexpected gesture was that the staff wrapped up some of each of our app’s, our dinner leftovers & a slice of each flavor cake and packed it up in my car for us to take home which was so great because neither of us really ate much that day. We certainly had the opportunity to eat which was great, but we just weren’t hungry with all the excitement. Scott also packed up all the decorations into my car (even in the pouring rain) so we didn’t have to worry about a thing and were able to leave the venue with our guests & bridal party. We had a perfect day thanks to BWV!!! Throughout the planning process, any question or email I sent was promptly responded to and addressed. And the planning meetings we had were very organized and we could clearly tell the team knew what they were doing! They provided a list of recommended vendors which was super helpful and the vendors we used were great (Get Down Tonight Entertainment, Precious Moments Wedding Films, Ford Flowers, Chickadee Hill Cakes)! We could not recommend BWV as a wedding venue anymore!!!

he big day, the Birchwood staff was flawless at each step. As soon as we stepped into the Birchwood venue space, we instantly knew we wanted to be married there. Not only was it beautiful, but everyone was so warm and welcoming: even the owners!! Even after being married one year, we still go back for their annual "jingle ball" Christmas event because we just love visiting there and seeing the staff. Not only do they try to make the planning process as stress-free as possible, but they always answered our emails right away and had a bunch of decorations that we borrowed so we didn't have to buy them. Furthermore, at the end of our night, they made sure that everything was packed up for us (and I mean everything: even down to the photos people had taken that didn't quite make it in our photo guest book). The food was also amazing. They were really wonderful with catering to allergies/dietary restrictions. We still have our family members that say the food was the best they had ever had. I could honestly go on and on about how wonderful Birchwood Vineyards is so I will leave it there, but when you book with Birchwood, you will definitely not regret it! I wish we could relive our day over and over again.

cess with so much support and advice. Kasia and Melisa were always so prompt with responding to emails and making sure I never felt lost during the planning process. I always felt confident that I could trust them to take care of everything and bring my wedding vision to life! I can't even begin to describe how gorgeous the venue is, especially in the summer months. Our wedding was in July, and between the amazing blooming flowers and the grape vines, we could not have pictured a more beautiful backdrop for our outside ceremony. Their reception room is so gorgeous and has that perfect rustic romantic feel to it. Their bridal suite is also to die for! It is so gorgeous and bright, which was perfect for our getting ready photos. Kasia, Scott, Melisa, and Carina were always coming up to check on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our wedding day was definitely warm to say the least, and it was so awesome that we were able to fill out a form ahead of time and choose what drinks we wanted, as well as our entire bridal party, and they were waiting for us outside as soon as we walked over to start taking pictures. Sarah was so amazing during the process of getting me down the aisle and taking pictures after the ceremony. There was an issue with my bustle right before the reception and she pinned me up and fixed it so fast that I didn't even have time to stress about it! Carina was also very helpful while taking photos by grabbing safety pins to fix my bustle and running up to get my sandals because I was sinking in the grass in my heels during photos! During the reception, Scott was always checking in on both of us and was so attentive and supportive the entire night. He made sure we sat down and had something to eat, kept us on track with the events throughout the night, and was always right there when we needed him for anything at all. I also can't say enough phenomenal things about the food! We chose the filet mignon and the chicken toscana and they were both AMAZING! We had so many people come up to us saying the filet mignon melted in their mouths. My bridal party also would not stop talking about the coconut chicken hors d’oeuvres! At the end of the night, Scott and the team had already packed all of our decorations up and had loaded everything in our cars before the reception was over so that we would make it to our after party before the bar closed. They also packed up multiple take out boxes for us with cake, our leftover dinner, and plenty of grilled cheese from our late night snack station! Scott and Sarah escorted us to our cars after the night was over, and I can't lie and say that I didn't get a little teary eyed when we all hugged goodbye and thanked them for truly making our day so incredibly perfect. We have heard SO many times that our wedding was the best wedding our guests have ever been to. A huge heartfelt thank you to the team we worked directly with for the past year and a half, the amazing chefs and staff that absolutely killed it during the wedding with the amazing food and the incredible service, the bartenders who worked so hard to keep the drinks coming all night, and to everyone who also worked behind the scenes to create this amazing day for us!!!

rustic, elegant vibes were exactly what we were looking for. Not only is the indoors beautiful, but the outdoors as well. The grounds are so well kept and gorgeous. Throughout wedding planning, I worked closest with Melisa and Kasia. I cannot tell you how amazing they are at what they do. Super kind, responsive and truly care about each couple. On the big day, we worked closest with Scott and Kasia who were both on sight the entire day. Scott even came off sight to help us with our rehearsal at our dinner the night before. He is AMAZING! Down to earth, funny, yet gets things DONE! Birch Wood’s staff has this down to a science. Our wedding day went off without a hitch, and all thanks is due to all of the incredible staff present that day. They kept things running smoothly all day and night. The staff was so attentive, always making sure my husband and I were ok and had whatever we needed. During photos, one staff member even followed us around with my glass of wine! And I love my wine! ;-) Kasia and a few girls even bustled my dress for me before I headed into cocktail hour. They did an incredible job and took that stress off of my mother and maid of honor! I cannot say enough about how perfect my wedding day was at this venue. From the bottom of my heart, I truly advise you to look no further than Birch Wood Vineyards for your big day.

eception hall. Further, the venue came with catering and an entire team of planners, coordinators, managers, bar tenders, and servers that kept the planning process moving along and wedding day running smoothly. The staff at Birch Wood Vineyards did everything for us; we did not have to worry about a thing! Their customer service and attention to detail was excellent. All of their preferred vendors (many of which we hired) were top notch. During photos, a member of their staff was specifically assigned to my husband and I. During the dinner, the General Manager, Scott, visited every table to ask if anyone needed anything and put our parents' leftovers in the fridge until the end of the night. The food was delicious; my husband and I actually had time to enjoy our meal. They also catered to our guests who had dietary restraints. At the end of night, their team packed everything up for us. The only small error we can think of is that our guests were welcomed with the wrong signature drink, but it was probably a miscommunication and so minimal considering we had open bar anyway! Thank you, Birch Wood Vineyards, for helping us host a beautiful wedding. We had so much fun, and all of our guests keep raving about how great it was. Highly recommend!

ing to end, everything went so smoothly and we were in the best care. You don’t need a wedding coordinator because they really do it all here. They answer all of your questions so quickly and find ways to solve any bumps along the road. All of my guests raved about the food, the picturesque location, and the incredible staff. Couldn’t have picked a better place!

from afar can be stressful, they were always extremely helpful and very quick to answer any questions. The day of the staff was so attentive to not only bride and groom, the parents, but to all the guests! The compliments we received on the food and service from all our guests are unbelievable. Scott went over and above the night of wedding, going table to table making sure the guest were pleased with the food. If it were possible to give them 10 stars I would. I can’t thank Birchwood enough for making our memories even more special. The venue is beautiful, the staff attentive, the food is fantastic, you couldn’t ask for more!
