I can’t say enough good things about Birchtown as a wedding venue! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make sure our big day was everything we dreamed of and more. The venue itself is stunning and spacious. There’s plenty of parking. A big thing for me was a place to relax in the morning of the wedding for both bride & groom. The groomsmen lounge and bridal suite are perfect.
The bridal apartment was clean and comfortable, making it a great stay for Friday and Saturday night. It made the whole weekend feel extra special and allowed us to really soak in every moment.
Jess was an absolute dream to work with. She made wedding planning less stressful. She helped coordinate everything, had tons of decorations available (which saved us time and money), and was always quick to respond. Seriously, if I had a question or concern, I could just text her and she’d get back to me right away. That kind of support is everything when you’re planning a wedding.
And I can’t forget the food — Mom’s cooking was incredible! She was very accommodating with the menu and everything was delicious.
If you're looking for a venue that truly cares and wants your day to be perfect, I would 100% recommend Birchtown. They made our wedding unforgettable.

Our wedding was perfect, truly the best day of our lives! We’d like to thank Jessica, her mom and her team for the wonderful job they did. Jessica made sure the vision we had for our wedding came true. We truly appreciate the time she took to make sure our decorations and details were exactly what we wanted! Jessica’s mom was also great at answering all our questions, plus her homemade meatballs were AMAZING! Her whole team just made us feel like our wedding was the most important thing to them which meant so much to us. Needless to say we had an absolute blast and would definitely recommend Birchtown to anyone that asks!
Plus anywhere you stand, you have a beautiful view and background!

I couldn’t have done this wedding without the staff at Birchtown Weddings and Events. They made my day completely stress-free by making sure every detail ran smoothly—I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. The staff truly goes above and beyond, not only making you feel special, but also giving you confidence that everything will be perfect and just the way you want it. I really appreciated the time and care they put into making our day unforgettable.
On top of that, their bridal website with vendor recommendations for DJs, photography, hair, etc. made planning so much easier and kept me organized. The venue itself was everything I could have asked for and more, but it’s the staff’s professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail that made the experience priceless. I highly recommend Birchtown to any couple—you’ll be in the best hands!

We got married here in June, and it was absolutely amazing! Jessica, the coordinator, was so helpful, kind, and accommodating to all of our needs. She has such a calm and collected presence, which really helped ease my anxiety throughout the planning process. She was incredibly responsive to texts and calls, making communication effortless.
This is truly a family-run venue. Jessica’s mother, Karen, provided the catering, and the food was absolutely delicious! They were so thoughtful in accommodating guests’ allergies and food preferences, which we really appreciated.
The property itself is breathtaking, filled with lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and beautiful natural scenery. We were able to take all of our wedding photos right on-site, and the setting made them even more special.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with how our wedding turned out, and it’s all thanks to Jessica and her amazing team. Highly recommend!

What an amazing wedding we had at Birchtown in June 2025! It was more than I could have imagined. The food, the service, the atmosphere, it made me feel like I was living out a Hallmark movie. My wife and I are beyond grateful and blessed to have found this venue. The location makes you feel at peace with all the terrain, the flowers, and animals. Jessica and her team were great to work with throughout the whole planning process. They are professional, organized, and detail oriented to make everything run smoothly the day of the wedding. The communication with Jessica was incredible. She is responsive and willing to listen to our ideas as well as make modifications that might be necessary. The team at Birchtown is great, everyone was so kind to us and helpful. The wedding schedule ran smoothly and we were able to take some beautiful sunset pictures. Jessica is passionate about what she does and is a great coordinator. She helped us so much along the way and turned out to be an amazing experience for all our loved ones. Highly recommend if you want a mini destination wedding outside the NY/NJ area.

We were so glad we chose Birchtown Weddings for our wedding! They were so incredibly professional and on top of things putting us at ease in the wedding planning process. Jessica was so prompt in all responses throughout the wedding planning process and did an amazing job navigating us during the wedding day so that we didn’t need to worry about a thing. Karen and her team did an incredible job with the food and guests loved it. There’s a fantastic room onsite for the bridal party and a groom suite to get ready in which made things easy already being there. The pictures turned out incredible as there are so many beautiful places on their property to take photos like a field of flowers, by farm fences, by the lake, mountains, etc. We chose it as a bit of a destination wedding as it was several hours from where we lived and all our guests were able to find lodging in the area. Our guests are still raving about the wedding and many friends and family have told us it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended. We could not recommend them more highly and are so grateful for all they did to make our day so special.

Birchtown is literally everything you could ask for in a wedding venue. The cost is competitive and you get so much. Jess and her family treated us like we were family and friends. My husband and I immediately fell in love with the space. They helped us with decor and answered all of our questions. They were able to accommodate us when we had last minute changes to the menu and everything.
Everyone is very communicative plus the food is great. I'm still thinking about those ribs to be honest.

This venue is perfect!! My husband and I looked at many venues before this one, but immediately knew this was the one! They are attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly! They take care of all the details, both big and small (setting up, taking down, day of coordination) while still making the day feel like your own! They provide all of the decorations (if you wish to go that route) which really helps to cut down on the stress of the bride & groom! They are so helpful with timing, coordinating with other vendors, answering questions and getting the perfect photos! This was THE most perfect venue for our big day!

The staff at Birchtown make you feel like family. They help you with each detail of your day. The venue coordinator (Jessica) helps put your mind at ease and truly makes it a hassle free process. There are stunning views and picture perfect spots all around the farm. There is communication from the moment you book with them. The food is amazing and everyone was blown away that it was "wedding food". I would recommend this venue to everyone because they truly made our wedding perfect and I wouldn’t change one thing! The venue is well priced for everything that is included: decorations, set up/take down, outside venue, a beautiful bridal suite, groom suite and so more much!!

Birchtown is the absolute best wedding venue around. My wedding was completely stress free. I texted Jessica everyday asking about new ideas and she made everything come together so perfectly. The food from Karen was absolutely amazing and my guests loved it… we barely had leftovers. The venue is beautiful and the bride and groom lounge are such a plus. My friends and family have stated our wedding was one of the best they’ve attended and some want to renew their vows at Birchtown. My wedding was so stress free and not a single thing went wrong!!
