Birch Wood Vineyards

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!

day one and you can’t beat the packages they offer! Honestly they made the planning process so EASY (which I am sure is what every bride wants!) Every single one of our emails were responded to in less than 24 hours! Melisa, Kasia, and Allison I can’t thank you enough for your quick responses (to even some of my silliest questions)! You truly made the planning process a lot less stressful that’s for sure! I also highly recommend using their preferred vendors! They have been to Birch Wood several times and know exactly how everything is run there! We used Ford Florist, Get down tonight Entertainment -DJ Billy Rears, and Chickadee Hill Cakes-everything was beyond our expectations! Thank you :) Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!!!! We used Birch Wood’s beautiful bridal suite to get ready. This gave us more time to relax and get ready. Our guests continue to talk about how amazing the food, service, and entertainment was! My eye contact fell out during the ceremony and I didn’t have to wait long before Kasia and Birch Wood staff were right there with new contacts, solution and a mirror during cocktail hour! They made sure me and Grant always had something to eat and drink! They gave us left over appetizers with our dinner which was great too! At the end of the night the Birch Wood team had our cake, all of our belongings, and decor packed up and ready to go- so great-again we didn’t have to do a single thing-besides have the best time of our life! Which we did!!!! Thank you so much Birch Wood staff! Any excuse we have to come back we absolutely will! Love, Grant and Andrea Evans

my wedding here one day. Fast forward 2 ½ years and my husband and I were engaged. From the minute we got engaged I knew we HAD to go back to Birch Wood and do a tour. When we arrived on a Saturday morning, we were given a tour by Melisa, she was amazing. She showed us around the facility and really made us feel like we were the most important part of her day. She had up lighting turned on to our potential color scheme and even had a sample monogram above the fireplace with our names on it and this was just at the initial consultation and tour! Every moment from booking the venue to our big day was incredible! The staff at Birch Wood does everything they can to make your dreams become a reality. Melisa is phenomenal at her job and made the entire process stress free! She was always quick to respond to my questions and was always reassuring in any decision we made! I can only imagine how many weddings she has a hand in planning but at all time she always made us feel like we were the only one! The day of the wedding was perfect! From getting ready in the beautiful bridal sweet, to getting the first look at the venue decorated, all the way to the end of our reception, everything went perfectly! Scott & Kasia made sure everything ran smoothly and always made sure we were happy and taken care of. The only bummer is that our day seemed to go by way to FAST! I wish we could relive that day over and over again. We have received so many compliments from family and friends about how amazing the food was, how beautiful the venue was, and most importantly how incredible the staff was at Birch Wood. We cannot begin to thank all of them enough for making our wedding the best day ever! I don’t think I could imagine a more perfect day!

el at ease the and were always so professional. We did the ultimate vendor package which was great for us since we decided to get married in under a year. All of the vendors knew one another and had worked together countless times so we never felt that anyone was out of the loop. The food and decor at birchwood was just as amazing as the staff. I still have friends and family telling us it was the best wedding food they have had! I highly recommend having your wedding here - we loved it and can’t thank them enough! - Sarah and Drew

ts and questions that never fell on deaf ears. Something as simple as picking what meals we wanted to more complex requests like allowing us to tow a classic car up and park the trailer on their property for the event (as it was mid-winter)… the answer was never NO! We were always welcomed by smiling faces and willing hands to help with anything we needed throughout the process. We cannot thank every single person who was involved in the front of the house or the back of the house enough for making our once in a lifetime event this amazing! Some of our guests echoed our feelings that the grounds were picturesque, multiple interior fireplaces made it feel cozy, the decorations were gorgeous and the food was remarkable. We look forward to returning to celebrate key milestones in our life together and hopefully someday attending another wedding there. For anyone looking for a rustic and elegant wedding venue that has everything you could wish for (all on site), I would recommend checking out Birchwood Vineyards.

ried. From day one they made the planning process so easy. We added the vendor package which made it so easy to get in touch with amazing and talented vendors. Their online system allows you to easily keep track of guests, seating, and meal choices. When the big day finally arrived, I was stress-free and did not have to worry about a thing. Our wedding day coordinator, Kasia was so helpful and could not have done a better job! All of our guests are still raving about how it was the most beautiful wedding venue, and the best wedding food they have ever tasted. I could not have hoped for a better wedding day, and I have to thank Birch Wood Vineyards for that!

notice of the paved, level parking lot, the dedicated space for cocktail hour with a long bar, serving top shelf alcohol, the reception room with a dance floor big enough for our guests to enjoy, the onsite bridal suite with built-in stations for hair and makeup, the grooms suite, the extensive menu options and ability to customize, the amount of décor the venue had available for use, if desired (table numbers, lanterns, candles, votives, signs, etc.)… I could go on and on! I really want to highlight the exceptional Birch Wood staff who made our entire wedding experience as stress-free as possible. Throughout the planning process, we worked primarily with Melisa and Kasia. They were accommodating, responsive, always prepared for our meetings, following up via email the same day and even updating the online portal. The online portal was another huge plus - you can view your wedding timeline/details and vendors, and complete the seating chart all from a portal they set you up with). On the day of, Kasia, Alison and Scott were there to ensure everything went smoothly. Kasia was there to greet us in the morning and get us settled in the bridal suite. She also met the vendors as they arrived and setup our decor. Alison pinned the boutonnieres, helped me with my shoes, bustled my dress and ensured we were always enjoying ourselves. Scott was always visible. He greeted guests and most importantly, made sure my grandparents, who have walkers and wheelchairs, received special attention. My grandmother still raves about Scott and how he got a golf cart to take them inside after the outdoor ceremony. She jokes that she felt like she was the bride, and that could not make me happier. At the end of the night, the staff packed up the décor we brought and made sure nothing was left in the onsite suites, making the "clean-up" aspect still hands free for our families. Our guests continue to say how our wedding was one of the best they have ever been to and that is the ultimately compliment. We had an unforgettable experience and cannot thank Birch Wood Vineyards enough.

erything a breeze). And the food... when we went to the bridal tasting, that made selecting our entrees even more difficult... EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD! The rustic elegance of this venue, the stone fireplace we got married in front of, the beautiful vineyard (the snow on the ground made our pictures BEAUTIFUL)... No matter the weather this venue is PERFECT. Wedding planning is stressful, but if I could do it allover again I would in a heartbeat just to relive this amazing day at this amazing venue. I get teary eyed every time I think of our wedding day because BWV made our day everything we wished for and MORE.

guests were completely floored by how beautiful the entire location was, from the vines to the reception room to even the bathrooms! Everything is uniquely thought out and beautified. BRIDES- the bridal suite is absolutely STUNNING and cozy and makes for beautiful getting ready photos. The food... OH MY HEAVEN. The food provided by Birch Wood is sent straight from heaven. Our guests were raving about absolutely every aspect, from the displays in cocktail hour to the presentation of the salad to even my picky Nana saying that was the best piece of chicken she has ever had in her entire life. As if all of this is not enough to sway you, let me take a second to talk about the staff. The staff at Birch Wood Vineyards takes you into their family for the entire planning process. I never felt like I was bothering anyone and everyone was always so quick to jump in and help answer questions. On our actual wedding today the help was outstanding. There was not 1 thing that I worried out. They took all of our decor and set it up in the most beautiful way. They made sure we were completely comfortable and helped us find a place to order lunch from. I mean I even forgot my deodorant before the ceremony and they ran up to get it for me! Scott was the best! I literally felt like part of the family. He helped calm my nerves before I walked out to the ceremony by making me laugh and he was the first one to meet us and congratulate us afterwards! He even offered to drive us back to the hotel after the wedding since we didn't have a limo. Absolutely everything was packed up before it was time to go and was brought out to our cars by staff. Our friends and family could not believe that someone was walking around and making sure that everyone enjoyed their food and was checking in on them, the level of service provided is much higher than 5 star! I really and truly don't have the right words to describe this place and all that comes with it. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our entire lives and a huge part of that was because of Birch Wood Vineyards and the service that they have provided to us. I cannot recommend a place more. To not have one single worry on your wedding day says a lot. A fun and magical crew for a beautiful and magical wedding venue.

st available in 2018! The venue in itself is gorgeous! We loved the rustic, New England feel of the Estate and Vineyard rooms plus the enormous fire places we were lucky enough to have going the night of our wedding. The Bridal Suite is also fantastic, providing more than enough room the day of for getting ready. One key differentiator for us was the fact that Birch Wood also has a Groom's Suite where the men could get ready and hang out of the day of. Our wedding and reception were nothing short of spectacular! We were told previously by another vendor that if something went wrong on our wedding day, we would never know because the BW team is that good. And it's so true! They were incredibly attentive, kept the entire day on schedule, and were so accommodating during the planning process, rehearsal, and day of. I can't say enough about how much we appreciated their entire team! We will forever think so highly of BW since the played a huge part in making our wedding the best day ever!

ue my husband and I visited together and we knew right away that it was the one. From its rustic charm, homey fireplaces, and amazing landscape (and duh, wine)... it gives off such a warm, humble vibe. I may be bias, but I feel like everybody was living their best life that day and was in such a great mood - we still hear about how our wedding was one for the books! The BWV staff are extremely good at communicating via emails and phone (seriously, bless you all), I just can't say it enough. I'm the type of person that needs to see things "laid out" like, broken down, timeline, deadlines, the whole thing, and BWV was great about that - I feel like we were always on the same page and never a step ahead of one another. The day of, they make you feel like the most important person in the room. They would check-in throughout the night and ask if there's anything I needed ("more champagne please!"). Also, can't thank our vendors enough - seriously, go with the vendor package, you won't be disappointed. Everything was just so organized and they handled everything so perfectly. The food is also amaaaaazing!!! Our guests had nothing but great things to say about the food, which is important when you're as big of a foodie like myself. Seriously, thank you BWV for making my dream wedding come true, you are all amazing and I wish I could relive it all over again!! XO

do, is close to impossible to top. We were greeted at our initial visit by Melisa with a smile and a warm welcome who proceeded to give us a tour and sat down to look thru the different options and potential dates available for 2018. We were shocked when they only had two dates left in October 2018 but now, having experienced our own wedding there, we completely understand why. We left our initial visit and within three hours, called to confirm October 14, 2018 for our wedding. This was without a doubt, the easiest decision for us in the planning process. Our taste testing was that of a real wedding. We experienced cocktail hour as if we were guests at a wedding along side many other couples who also chose Birch Wood as their venue. We ate dinner in the room in which our reception would be held which included a salad, four mini entrees and desert. The food was INCREDIBLE! Various meetings were scheduled with Melisa and Amanda throughout the months leading up to our wedding where they kept us on track for deposits, to ensure we covered all details and to answer any questions we may have had. I must have emailed them 20 times with questions and each time I received a response within three days with a detailed answer and excitement for our wedding as if it were their own. Upon arrival for our rehearsal, Kasia was by the door with a cart ready to load all of our decor and misc items for the wedding the next day. Scott took inventory of all items that were dropped off and made sure to fully understand how we pictured everything to be set up. Our cocktail hour sheet for the bridal party and parents (yes, they take your drink choices in advance and have them ready with your passed apps immediately following the ceremony) was reviewed. Kasia and Scott showed a level of excitement that once again, assured us that our wedding would be perfect. We arrived the day of the wedding and both Kasia and Scott were extremely attentive to us throughout the day, kept us on track, had the guys pinned and were there as we took our foot steps out of the building to walk down the isle. Throughout the night they made sure we had everything we needed and that expectations were met. The food was incredible and the service on all fronts absolutely blew us away. As I took a last walk around, Scott had my car packed of all decor, packaged food, gifts, cards and cake. He handed me the keys to come back any time the next day and tanked us for choosing them for our wedding. The level of service is truly remarkable and Birch Wood Vineyard should be known for not only their beautiful venue but most importantly, their impeccable service and knowledgeable and pleasant staff. They gave us a wedding better then we could have ever imagined and have been told by numerous guests that they too noticed the service and that it was "the best" wedding they have been to. Birch Wood Vineyards, we will never be able to thank you enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. We feel extremely fortunate to have worked with you and are thankful to look back for years to come and remember how big of an impact you had on one of the best days of our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

my many, many questions. Each time we spoke, they were so helpful and patient. From the moment we arrived the day of the wedding, the staff made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They brought us, and our bridal party, preferred drinks and snacks during pictures. The apps and meal were fantastic (Get the pizza bar! So many compliments from guests!) and the service was beyond words. I am so unbelievably happy we chose to have our wedding day at Birchwood. This venue delivers the "rustic" vibe but with amenities you might expect at a five star hotel.

bumps. I KNEW it was the venue. This was only confirmed when we sat down with Melisa and she told us all about the venue an completely sold us. Initially it was a little more expensive than we originally anticipated but it was worth it!!!! They were accommodating the entire time. If I had a question via email, I usually had a response within the hour! It made planning SO much easier. Wedding planning wasn't stressful because they were with us the whole way. The day of the wedding was absolute PERFECTION. Kasia was there to greet us and get us settled. After the ceremony the staff continued to impress us. Victoria was with us during the cocktail hour. She was wonderful! In between pictures she brought us food, water, and wine! The entire staff made the experience so fun, especially when my two photographers were bickering like 5 year olds! They took my mind off that and helped me enjoy the wedding. They bustled my dress, took care of all my needs, and were truly amazing. I cannot thank the staff enough. I do not need to mention the beauty of the venue as pictures absolutely show how gorgeous it is. Birch Wood does not disappoint!

hout our planning and also making everything go so smoothly and enjoyable the day of! I highly recommend this venue!!

the day before the wedding the staff was amazing at meeting with the bride and groom to perfect every detail. The wedding day was amazing and the staff’s attention to detail was incredible. They were incredibly attentive to all of the guests. They truly made our daughter and son-in-law’s dream come true!

te we saw the beautiful grounds, we fell in love; Even my husband was giddy! Amanda, Melisa, Scott and Kasia were absolutely amazing. All members of the staff were very responsive, calming and accommodating. They assisted tremendously in the days leading up to the wedding, including the day of and took the stress out of planning and made it exciting/fun! Everything I had envisioned was made possible by the staff here. I am very type A and they were able to make my vision a reality, all while being organized and kind. I couldn't have asked for a better day. In the weeks following the wedding, guests have been reaching out to me to tell me what an amazing time they had and how amazing the food was! I cannot thank Birch Wood enough for everything! I want to replay the day over and over! I would suggest this venue 1000 times over.

wedding planning team helped us through all the decisions and coordinated with our wedding vendors. They really took the stress out of wedding planning and helped us fully enjoy the experience. The event facility is gorgeous! The owners put a lot of thought and care into creating this venue, and it shows. I do not think I can sing the praises enough. And it's not just us who are praising Birch Wood Vineyards. Not only did we have an amazing experience, they made sure every guest had an amazing experience! We received multiple compliments on how well the Birch Wood Vineyards team took care of the guests and provided a great time. The amazing team and beautiful facility really made our wedding perfect. We thank them and fully recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

g. I have never met such an accommodating and friendly staff. From bringing us whatever we needed while getting ready in their beautiful bridal suite to having staff there for us to hold our drinks during pictures, bustle my dress and really whatever else we needed while not being overbearing. The entire night went seamlessly and honestly perfect. I would 100% recommend Birch Wood Vineyards to any couple looking for a venue!

whenever I called with questions! Kasia and Scott handled everything so smoothly day of and were so attentive!! Everything went off without a hitch, it was completely stress-free. Also, it doesn't hurt that the venue itself is incredibly beautiful! The room for cocktail hour is amazing, the reception room is gorgeous, even the bathrooms are awesome...I really can't rave enough! The bridal suite is fantastic, my hairdresser said she had never had a nicer one. Friends and family keep telling me it was the nicest wedding they've been to, and I know it's because of Birch Wood!

planning process a breeze. Kasia was AMAZING the day of the wedding. Every move she made was 100% for my happiness. I can't get over how much of a champ she is. Everything was seamless and it was an absolute perfect day. There were zero complaints from the guests and none from us! The food was out of this world. Thank you so much, Birch Wood for making our day an absolute success.

met with Amanda, and she explained everything to us clearly and was so friendly, it was if we had been friends forever. She was absolutely wonderful. During the process, I emailed a million times, and between her and Melisa, my questions and fears were always listened to and calmed. The owner, Rue, was very accommodating to how we wanted the ballroom set up for our ceremony. We had a hard time choosing our menu as literally, everything we tried at the tasting was incredible! The year between booking and wedding flew by, and when it was time for rehearsal, we had Kasia to run the show. She was incredible every step of the way! The bridal suite was gorgeous and spacious. They provided breakfast snacks and juices for the morning, and I opted for the luncheon, which was so yummy, and the champagne delightful! When we ran into a last-minute crisis or two, she was there with a solution. She kept the schedule flowing smoothly and without a single bump. She had drinks and hors d'oeuvres for us during the photos. She was amazing. I have never been the kind of girl to dream of my wedding, but if I were, it would have been exactly as I saw that chilly day in January. It was so stunningly beautiful. The food was excellent, and people are still talking about how delicious it was, and how beautiful the venue and decor was. My husband and I didn't get a chance to finish our dinners, but no fear, as they packed us up with our leftovers and cake (which came in handy at 1 am)! It goes by so so fast, and for one of the most important events in your life, you want the best team to support you. Rue has put together an incredibly efficient, kind, knowledgeable, and friendly staff that will go the extra mile for you, and give you the most incredible wedding experience at Birch Wood Vineyards!!

a lot from our wedding guests how beautiful the venue was. They were completely right! Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the staff was nothing but accommodating throughout the whole wedding planning process. After our 6 month meeting with Melisa, she answered all our questions and responded quickly when we had other questions. Our rehearsal with Scott was great and he has great suggestions that we would have never thought of. The day of our wedding, Scott was there and he and his team did a great job decorating and putting everything out. It looked better than I even imagined. Scott was there for us throughout the evening and made sure our wedding day went seamlessly. Sarah was also there throughout the day and made sure we were where we need to be and we had everything we needed. She even bustled my dress! I could not have asked for a better team or a better venue for our wedding!

w this was the place for me. The interior is newly renovated and gives an upscale rustic feel. I loved all of the exposed wood beams, stone fireplaces and beautiful bars. The exterior is just as lovely with a beautiful outdoor ceremony space and little nooks on the premises for great photos. The team there was amazing to work with. I’m a wedding and event planner and tend to notice things that the average person wouldn’t and they did such a great job. Amanda and Melissa were always prompt on responding to my emails which I really appreciated. Scott (the GM) and his team were on-site the day of the wedding and they were superb. All of my décor was set up exactly how I wanted it and they followed the timeline I had created perfectly. The food was also delicious – we ordered the Filet Mignon, Chicken Assagio and Butternut Squash Ravioli. I really can’t say enough good things about the venue and the team that works there. I heard from several of my guests that it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to and I want to thank the team there for making that happen! You guys are the best!

s, and willingness to make our wedding the most perfect day of our lives, which it was. Planning was so easy thanks to Amanda and Melisa, who quickly answered my dozens of annoying emails, usually within the hour. The day of the wedding, Kasia and Scott went above and beyond what we could have ever imagined needing from them (like fixing my broken bustle in record time, providing us with food and drinks when we had no time to sit down, and getting everything moving on schedule and without flaw). The bridal suite is jaw-dropping (the grooms suite is awesome too). All of our guests were wowed by the food - the portions are large and the quality is top-notch. The venue itself is breathtakingly beautiful - rustic yet romantic and elegant. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect day and can't say enough great things about the entire team who made it come together!

s have all agreed!

ly blind and if it wernt for the staff of birchwood and they’re great referrals we would have been lost! We have had SO many guests tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and the food was amazing as well. I couldn’t have been any happier with how everything went. If your looking for a venue don’t look any further. Book with birchwood and you do not have to worry about a thing!

ely helpful. The food was amazing, we keep hearing how our guests loved their dinner! You never want anyone to go hungry at a wedding and that was not an issue at all. Birch Wood Vineyards helped make our wedding day, and the months leading up to it, so much fun and stress free!

sant. We had the pleasure of meeting with one of the wonderful coordinators, Amanda. She was amazing. She helped us with everything from picking the date, times, food, vendors, and really guided us in the wedding process which we had no clue about. She was always smiling and always made us feel special. The day of the wedding we had the absolute pleasure of having Scott and Kasia manage our wedding. They were impeccable. Everything that needed to be done was done. Every step was carefully thought out and they were right there with us and helped guide us. I got multiple guests commenting on how accommodating Scott and Kasia were. We cannot be more grateful to have had them there on our wedding day. The entire staff that worked our wedding that night were incredible. The bartenders and the waitstaff were amazing and always smiling. The food was spectacular!! We could not be happier and we were really amazed at the service and beauty of this venue. We had the best time and we kept hearing about how much fun everyone had, how delicious the food was, and how beautiful everything looked. Thank you Rue and Sallie for creating this space and filling it with the most amazing staff. We will be forever grateful. -Mr. and Mrs. Gaglione

ay of the wedding Kasia, Scott and Sarah (I believe) made this day perfect. The venue is stunningly beautiful and the food was amazing. Several guests have told us it was the best wedding food ever. From the moment we arrived the day before for the rehearsal through the morning after when they called us about a missing jacket and leftover food and cake, we were treated with first-class superior service. Birch Wood surpassed our expectations and then some. Thank you, Birch Wood for making my daughters dream wedding a reality.

fe. Initial meeting with her was so well planned. She offered various ideas and listened to ours. She planned everything flawlessly. The day of the wedding Kasia Condon (Event Manager) was there to help lead the way. Making our day so much easier so we could enjoy my daughter’s wedding. She was great to work with. General Manager Scott Benfield was always visible and making sure everything went as planned. The wedding had to be held indoors due to the cool weather. Birchwood set up the venue and guests were greeted by Scott. The venue with up lighting was a great added feature. After the ceremony we went into the Vineyard Room for a cocktail reception. The appetizers were plentiful and delicious. I really mean delicious. We opted for the wine barrel which is their own wine. Staff was so responsive while passing appetizers. We then proceeded into the Estate room where the main meal was served. Tables were elegant. Atmosphere was the tops especially with music and up lighting provided by Tommy Demers of Get Down Tonight Entertainment. All the guests raved about the food. Not a single person had a complaint. All said the food was so delicious. Cooked to perfection. Again staff was friendly and right on top of things. Sarah Woodbury Event Coordinator was there the whole time as with General Manager Scott. They packed up all the extra’s (card box, memory, box, posters, and other things) we brought in and actually placed them in my car. This experience was far above and beyond what I anticipated as a father of the bride. From the Bridal Suite to the Grooms Suite, the Vineyard, everything was spot on. My daughter and Son In-Law had the best time and so enjoyed the night. I highly recommend Birchwood Vineyards

ess. The GM Scott went above and beyond his job for our wedding and we so appreciate it! The food was delicious as well. We, and our guests, had so many compliments about the food! They work so hard so you don't have to have any worries. Our wedding day was perfect and we owe a lot of that to the staff at Birch Wood.

ible. On my wedding day I pictured everyone especially the staff to make me feel welcome and excited because it’s the biggest day of your life! That was the complete opposite of how I felt. This woman made me feel so rushed and she seemed so miserable I can’t imagine her making any bride feel special. She left us alone for majority of the day which I preferred, but towards the end of the day when I was finishing getting ready she kept rushing us. It seemed to get chaotic for a reason I did not understand. We will be ready when I am ready, I am the bride. Everyone can wait for me. I knew we would be ok with time and we were running a little behind (what wedding doesn’t?) She put in my earrings for me, that’s how much I was rushed. I didn’t even have time to put my garter on. My hairdresser put in my veil and she didn’t even allow us to have time to pin it in. My veil fell out during the ceremony. Once we were doing pictures, the photographer told us we were half an hour ahead of time. You can imagine how frustrating that can be. When it was time for us to make our entrance (it was indoors so we were in the reception area taking photos) they had us all cram in between the woman’s and men’s bathroom area and I had made it clear that I did not want the cocktail hour guests to see us before we all made our entrance. You know how that goes, everyone starts to talk to you and it was just not the way I had planned it. I found it shocking they did not have a set plan seeing as they do weddings 4 days a week it seemed, but the woman with accent acted like I was the biggest inconvenience for wanting to not see all of the guests before we made our entrance. I felt like it was going to be less special. They brought us through the kitchen eventually when they realized how unhappy I was. That seemed like a big deal as well. Later on when cake was served, it was put in the back behind the dj booth and we were told by friends days later that they didn’t even know where the cake was and favors so majority of people didn’t get either!! We paid of a lot for the cake and that was aggravating. We only took home a little of the cake and I had a separate gluten and dairy free cake for myself and that somehow didn’t make it home with us at all. We had about 5 no shows and we told that woman in the first place we knew of 2 people who could not make it and that we would like to take home the meals that we had paid for. We did not receive any of these meals and all we brought home was a little cake. I sent them an email, informing them that I was not very happy with how my day went and was expecting that they would be sympathetic for their behavior and would like to improve their staff.. that’s not what happened. Basically told me they are sorry for how I felt and defended their employees. There was no real apology. After spending that much on a wedding there, it was a slap in the face. I made it clear in every meeting we had that I do not drink and have been sober for almost three years and in the response back, they asked me if I wanted to come and pick up a free bottle of wine on them. I was so disappointed and hope they don’t make anyone feel like I did.

heir venue and abilities to make our day as perfect as possible. Their connections with other services such as limo services, DJs, photographers, florists, and bakeries makes the entire event seamless and smooth while only worrying to make single payments to a single venue. They truly made this event absolutely effortless. On the day it self the staff ran like clockwork. Always pleasant, presentable, quick, and organized. Our wedding coordinator was a god send and this day truly would have been a mess without her. The food was fantastic, the venue was gorgeous, the grounds were well kept with many great photo opportunities. This venue is nothing short of gorgeous in their photos but please understand that even that does not do it justice. This location is absolutely stunning in person, too good to be true, a dream, or as some would say, exactly what you want on your wedding day. The staff puts in a tireless amount of effort to achieve perfection with every inch of these grounds, every square foot of the venue, and every plate served. This is done with an obvious and wonderful amount of passion and drive. Me and my wife had originally planned on doing a back yard wedding. It took months and months of constant planning to organize. It required working with separate vendors for flowers, cake, chairs, tents, bathrooms, catering, photos, a DJ, local parking, getting the cities approval, the list goes on and on and on. Long story short, the wedding was less than a month away, and a car hit me at 45 mph. Shattered most of the right side of my body. We had to re-plan an entire wedding from a hospital bed and have it done within 3 months. Birch wood did that. I love them with all my heart for that. You. Will. Not. Find. Better.

things from the people who attended our wedding. The day ran very smoothly, and I didn’t feel any stress at all which was great! The food was delicious, the decor looked beautiful, and the staff was remarkable! EVERYTHING was absolutely PERFECT! A dream come true! Thank you for being a part of our “Happily Ever After”!

in their work and venue. The food was delicious and very fresh. We have so many fond memories of our wedding and can not get over smooth the day of went and this is greatly due to the staff at Birch Wood. We would highly recommend choosing Birch Wood as a wedding venue!!

de & groom but for all relatives & friends😊

ding vision together. The staff helped with all the little things, too... Like bustling my dress, making sure we got to eat our dinner. We had so many of our guests comment about what a wonderful ceremony and reception we had, and that the venue was absolutely gorgeous. This place puts so much attention to detail into everything, and I honestly can't give this venue and the staff enough praise. I highly recommend this place to anyone getting married!

first wedding booked for 2017, booked way back before Rue and Sally (owners of Birch Wood) transformed an old "unloved" venue into one of the most remarkably beautiful event centers you could imagine, inside and out. We had to put our faith in them to deliver on their vision, and we did so in full confidence after meeting with Rue, hearing his business plan, and most importantly seeing the intense passion that he has for this business and for treating each wedding like it is his only priority. Boy, did they deliver, and so much more. An important note for brides and grooms: at Birch Wood, your wedding is the only event that day. You have exclusive access to the grounds, inside and out, for 5 hours prior to your ceremony, including gorgeous bridal suites and groom's suite, and fully dedicated staff who never leave your side. This is hugely important and a big point of differentiation. Birch Wood's professionalism is unparalleled and it shows in every aspect of their customer service, the venue, their food (my God - unbelievable in both taste and presentation, made by their in-house executive chef), and their event management. Amanda, the lead event coordinator, along with others, was in constant communication with us throughout our 1+ year engagement, answering questions with record speed and helping us plan every tiny detail of our wedding. When I say that they think of every single detail imaginable, it doesn't do it justice - all of the little things, the special things, are top of mind for them. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect, and our guests cannot stop talking about how "ridiculous," "perfect," and "special" the whole day was. This is a testament to Birch Wood's team. Family and friends continue to compliment the venue ("I felt like I was inside a wine barrel the whole night"), the food, the staff, and the overall energy, saying it was different from any other wedding they've ever been to. We are still on cloud nine, and cannot thank Rue, Sally, and their team enough! All this to say: choose Birch Wood with confidence, and throw a significant amount of your wedding planning stress out the window! They are top notch. The best around, hands down!

ting is absolutely gorgeous and picture perfect! The venue has so much sweet character, from the outdoor ceremony site to the indoor cocktail room and gorgeous estate room. The food was incredible and every little touch from our Bellini welcome cocktail to Champagne toast to amazing uplighting - everything was exquisite!! I wish we could get married again just to have another magical night at Birch Wood Vineyards! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this truly special venue and staff!

n what they do. My husband and I felt like royalty the way we were treated. The grounds on the outside made for a beautiful backdrop for photos - and the inside, wow can it be anymore stunning. I never had to worry once about how something was going to come out because I knew everyone on staff was going to take care of it. Our guests told us all night long it was the best wedding they have ever been to - and people still can't stop raving about the food! Sallie and Rue have an amazing venue with a FABULOUS team! Thank you!

to answer all my questions and had great suggestions for me on things I didn't think of. The day of the wedding was flawless, the Birch Wood team works wonderfully together to make sure your wedding goes perfectly. My wedding was in front of the fireplace in the estate room, everyone at the wedding was in awe on how beautiful everything was. The food is absolutely amazing! Make sure you go to your food tasting to try it all because everything is prepared and presented perfect. I didn't have a chance to finish eating at our wedding , Allison was kind enough to pack it to go for me, which I ate in the hotel room at 2 am. I can not thank everyone enough for making our wedding the most perfect day for us.

ome people questioned us putting so must trust into the renovations being completed on time or to our liking. However, after meeting with Rue and hearing his passion and professionalism we had no question that Birch Wood Vineyards was going to be a one of a kind venue and we were right!!! Both inside and outside the venue is absolutely stunning. From the breath taking pergola to the stunning fire places, there was so many options for back drops for pictures and the ceremony. On our wedding day it was over cast and questionable of rain. Rue gave me weather updates whenever I asked as well as supported and encouraged my desire to have our ceremony outside. It was amazing! We did formal pictures inside in the cocktail room and they came out absolutely phenomenal. The beautiful wood and elegant chandeliers are the perfect balance of rustic elegance. The food was absolutely fabulous. Many of our guest told us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The wait staff was very professional and always made sure my husband and I had a fresh drink and food. We appreciated an assortment of the passed adores waiting for us at the sweetheart table. The staff made sure we stayed on time and moved things smoothly so we could get to dancing ASAP. I would 100% recommend Birch Wood Vineyard to anyone looking for a wedding during any season.

ur winter wedding. She was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire planning process even as we were planning from across the country. She attended to every single detail to make sure our wedding was perfect. The day-of the wedding went so smoothly because of Jamie and the other girls at the venue. They made sure that we always had food/drink and helped figure out the bustling of my dress- which turned out to be quite complicated! I found out later of many things happening behind the scenes that day which was handled smoothly and without me knowing. All of our guests kept complimenting how amazing all of the food was, both during cocktail hour and the reception. Everyone was blown away by the beauty of the venue especially the fires in the stone fireplaces that looked great with the freshly fallen snow! I would highly recommend Birchwood Vineyards to anyone looking for a wedding venue. The beauty of the venue and professionalism of all of the staff was incomparable to anything we've ever seen. They truly made our wedding day the best day of our lives.

nd had character. Thankfully we found Birch Wood! The team that runs Birch Wood is beyond exceptional. The planning process is so smooth and they know exactly what information to ask to make sure this special day goes perfectly. The servers during the wedding paid attention to every detail. They blended right into the crowd and got the job done in the most perfect way. Guests kept commenting how the staff would stop what they were doing when important parts of the wedding were happening. Each time that I thought I needed something, had a question or my dad’s drink was almost empty, someone was there to answer the question or give a new drink! The food was insane! It was so creatively presented and tasted amazing! Everyone has had “wedding food” and usually it’s pretty dry and boring – this is neither! We offered the Chicken Asiago, Sirloin and a Vegetarian option – all which received raved reviews. The grounds are beautifully and got better every time we visited as renovations were pretty new for our wedding. The ability to have a separate room for your cocktail reception is rare and the room and the views are wonderful. The furniture and décor is so tastefully done, which allows you to save a little on flowers/décor in that room. The bar is massive and the lighting adds so much to the cocktail space. The Estate Room transports you into a vineyard/barn style room with high ceilings, beautiful lighting, a massive fireplace and mantel and great furniture. Our guests continue to tell us that it was the best wedding that they had ever been to. If you want to have your wedding at a venue where it’s beautiful, has a top notch staff and where the food is out of this world…this is your place!

le for questions and concerns during planning. The food is delicious and the presentation is beautiful. This venue is a must see when wedding planning, pictures do it no justice, it's just beautiful!

e planned on having our wedding october 2017 until Rue, the owner came in woth all these amazing incentives if we booked this year. I made sure my bridal party and our parents were free for the date we now decided on. We planned our wedding in FIVE months, talk about stressful. Thankfully, the staff over at Birch Wood was extremely helpful. Every email I sent was responded within the hour. Any change I needed wasn't a problem. The staff was extremely professional and had a passion for their jobs. I honestly never thought my wedding could be more perfect, from the rehersal, ceremony and reception. I am still getting compliments on the food saying it was the best food they had at any wedding, so props to the kitchen staff. The decor on the inside was simply beautiful without even adding our special touches it really spoke for itself. I wish I could relive our wedding night!! Thank you again Rue, Leslie, Amanda and Melissa for making our day perfect !

ely organized and has gone this far above and beyond. We originally booked when this venue was Promises to Keep and a few months later, received a letter telling us not to worry, but the property had changed ownership. We worried. That is, until we met Rue and he took us through all the changes and upgrades they planned. We could feel his passion and see the sparkle in his eyes when he talked about his dream. We knew we were in good hands – but we still worried. We were no longer the target clientele. Would he try to upsell us? Would we lose some things that were promised but not in the contract? The answer is a not only “No!” but he and his wife even added special touches for which they were under no obligation just because they discovered it would please us. For example, the day before our wedding we had our rehearsal and the venue was beautifully decorated for a Friday night wedding. We commented how their colors were the same as ours. As we were leaving the venue Rue came running after us and stopped me to ask if we’d like him to leave the sashes on the chairs so we could use them too. This is normally an upcharge. I could see the delight in his face as my face lit up with a huge smile. This was the first time I gave him a big hug. No request was too wacky – in fact, he loved our quirky take on the ceremony (let’s just say there was a chainsaw and swords involved). Even 2 months later my eyes water a bit thinking about how he, Sally and their amazing staff took care of us. The day of our wedding his staff were always there to ensure we were taken care of. While we were taking pictures they were there to help if needed – we didn’t even notice them until they magically appeared to help by holding our drinks or jacket! They just anticipated our needs. During dinner we were touched when we sat down to a plate of all of the appetizers -- we had just laughed about how we didn't even get to eat any and there they were! The entree was mouth watering. In fact, I was stuffed but found myself truly sad I'd have to leave some behind. Just then a waitress appeared to ask if we'd like to have them boxed. What? Yes! Two days later it was just as delicious. By the end of the wedding we knew the day couldn’t be complete without a photo of us with them – two happy couples. And even then they surprised us with a cute photo of them each kissing our cheeks. https://goo.gl/photos/5CXAvc47PfvbQaLE9. We just love them and can’t wait to have an excuse to go back (who wants to invite us to their wedding?) ;-) PS: I am happy to speak to anyone one on one.
