The birchwoods is gorgeous of course & really it only takes a visit with the venues lovely owner to see it’s charm but the true investment comes with the staff and their vendors wo...
rking in harmony to conduct what could have been a chaotic day into a beautiful melody.
For about 6 months before the wedding I would have stress dreams about the big day. But if I could have seen the birchwoods maitre D Gina at work I would have been resting soundly all those nights. She lead us through the day with a calm confidence and supportive presence. Bubbly, kind and always where she needed to be all while giving my fiancé and I the space to have intimate moments with each other, friends and families. We’ve never felt so catered to, so looked after and cared for. At no moment were we left wanting a drink, a snack, or a helping hand. During tricky moments with our shuttle and florist she had a solution to every hiccup before it had even bubbled up.
My wife and I will feel the echos of the birchwoods hard work in each wonderful memory of our special day. If I could, I would choose the birchwoods a million more times. Our guests still are talking about the gorgeous decor, delicious food, darling pie bar and kind attentive staff.

My Husband and I got married at Birchwoods on 11.22.2025 and from beginning to end, it was smooth sailing planning with this incredible team! I did not even need a wedding planner!...
!!! their wedding coordinator and matre d’s brought my dream wedding (which i thought was impossible and out of my budget) to life!!! It was everything I dreamed of and more!!! One of my biggest anxiety’s was how all the decor was going to come together and they KILLED IT and supplied so much of the decor, it’s amazing!!!!! They made everything possible from a PIE BAR to a GRAND SPARKLER EXIT and it was all PERFECT!!! We had 168 guests and they have not stopped talking about how perfect and beautiful our wedding was!!! Even the Dj (RJ), photographers that come with their off season package are to DIEEEEE FOR 😍😍😍😍😍 I cannot stop reliving the day over and over and it’s all thanks to Birchwoods and their team!!!!

If you were looking for a wedding, that is absolutely stunning and in such a great price range, you need to go to Birchwood’s all the decor all you’re worrying everything that you ...
need is right there at your fingertips, the photographer, the DJ, the cake, the centerpieces there’s nothing that you’ll need With them there. Trish is absolutely amazing pleasant, sweet, kind, caring detail orientated always there for you no matter what. Gina is an absolute star of the show. She made sure everything was perfect. She made sure we had drinks. She held my drinks while the photographer was taking our pictures outside. She’s absolutely amazing. There’s nothing that she would not have done. She made everything outstanding and perfect. The food I still have people texting me three days later who cooked this where did you get that. It’s just the best food. Every single staff member was pleasant helpful had a smile did anything you asked them to absolutely a pleasure it was the best wedding I’ve ever had been to, even though it’s mine it was still the best ever and if you ever have to plan, a party or a baby shower or a birthday party or anything you need to use them they are absolutely 100% the best.

Trish made us feel like we were the only event on her schedule by responding quickly to emails and texts. She and her team made the entire evening like it was an intimate and personalized wedding despite hosting over 170 people.
The food and service were outstanding – from cocktails and appetizers (we loved the stuffed dates and seafood tower) to a magnificent and delicious lavish dinner. Trish and her team treated us like we were members of their family and created the perfect venue for a memorable wedding. Our sincerest thank you to Trish and the BIrchwoods staff.
We highly recommend Birchwoods at Oak Lane for your special event – be sure to contact Trish and check out this venue.

The hot and cold appetizers were delicious during the cocktail hour which was held in the downstairs hall. Not a small detail in the reception hall was missed, from the linens to food. The food served buffet style was just delicious! The day ended with an ice cream and espresso martini bar, just spectacular!
I highly recommend Birchwoods for all your wedding needs. The venue and staff are truly amazing in everything they do and offer!

Trish was so incredibly helpful and communicative throughout...
the entire wedding planning process and was so flexible regarding any of our requests. Trish and Gina also ensured that the day of ran so smoothly, which was something I appreciated deeply.
I cannot thank Gina enough for taking my wedding decor vision and blowing it out of the park!!!! Seeing the reception area after it was all decorated brought me to tears.
I genuinely thought I was going to be a nervous wreck on my wedding but I knew I was in phenomenal hands with the Birchwoods team!
Oh and the food was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! From the appetizers to the entrees - the filet mignon is a work of art!
Again, we truly cannot thank the team enough for making our big day the best day ever. As a thank you, we gifted our handmade arch to the venue and hope all the future couples of birchwoods enough this token of our gratitude and also have the wedding of their dreams!

The food was amazing, my guests still rave about the hors d'oeuvres served at cocktail hour. We also had the cappuccino bar add on and that was a hit as well!

I loved the layout of the whole place whether it be the ballroom, bridal suite, access to outdoors, even the bathrooms: it was a comfortable yet elegant setting and easily accessible. I truly can't put into words just how EASY the whole experience was and how happy they made our family, friends, and especially my daughter on her big day.

Trish and everyone at the Birchwoods truly went above and beyond to make our wedding experience absolutely incredible!
We had a difficult time finding a venue that provided a high...
quality experience in an intimate setting for a fair price- we looked all over NY and CT until we found The Birchwoods! The grounds are beautiful and the venue itself has everything you need for the event (including a variety of wedding decor!). The packages are customizable to ensure your wedding is exactly how you imagine it. Trish was amazing to work with and went out of her way to accommodate our requests. I truly felt that her first priority was always to help us have the wedding of our dreams, never to nickel and dime us or sneak in hidden charges. Especially with uncertainties of COVID, she was always willing to work with us and ensure our wedding was perfect.
On our big day, everything went off without a hitch. The venue was decorated beautifully and the food was amazing. We had full use of the entire venue (which I highly recommend!) and had our ceremony in the garden, cocktail hour outdoors on the patio, and reception in the ballroom upstairs. There was also a back up indoor ceremony site if the weather did not cooperate (which put my mind at ease). Our guests enjoyed the bee deck off the ballroom to get some air during the reception as well. Having only one wedding at a time makes a significant difference on the overall experience.
Overall, the Birchwoods is an exceptional venue and I could not have been happier to have had them host my wedding.

I think planning a wedding is stressful to begin with, but planning a wedding during a pandemic? 100% worse! My original wedding date was August 8, 2020. Covid was a huge obstacle ...
for us at that point, but we also dealt with a hurricane that hit the week of the wedding and knocked out power to many parts of the state for days! Trish and PJ made dealing with all this craziness so easy. They worked with us every step of the way and even without power at their own place, they made sure we had our small ceremony and did the best they could for us! Our ceremony was small with only immediate family, but so special for us. This speaks volumes about the kind of people they are.
We decided to have our reception this year, August 14, 2021, and again Trish, PJ, and all their staff were amazing and accommodating. I can’t say enough amazing things about Birchwoods. It was an overall amazing experience and we were so thankful to have them on our side through all the craziness.

I can’t thank Trish, PJ, and Gina enough for helping to make our wedding everything I hoped for! Our wedding guests all said it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to. We feel like family with the Birchwoods team, and we whole heartedly recommend them for a wedding venue!!

Picking a venue was one of the hardest decisions we had to make and that is because we liked EVERY venue we looked at. We even booked a venue prior to booking Birchwoods but realiz...
ed we were not IN LOVE with it. We were at a loss and figured we’d just keep touring and so we did. We met with Trish at Birchwoods in October 2019 and signed the contract THAT SAME DAY. I don’t know if it was Trish or the venue that sold us (probably both) but we were HOOKED. The excitement set in, because when you know, you know! Birchwoods is set on a golf course which we never thought would be our style but the grounds were beautiful. The ballroom and inside were completely stunning. The vibe is rustic but not too rustic like a barn. It was the perfect blend of rustic, elegant and simple. Trish has TONS of décor in her closet and allows you to use all of it which totally cuts cost as far as centerpieces, décor and also allows you to get ideas of what you might like! Working with Trish was so easy and pleasant, which made the process of postponing and picking a plan B date due to COVID very smooth. After hearing horror stories from other brides, I was so thankful that our venue was one of the good ones. We moved our date, stayed in touch and just stayed in contact. Our tasting finally came and it became real. All of my food allergies were accommodated and we set up our final meeting. We upgraded our package, met with Trish, gave our final payment, finalized our centerpieces, discussed décor and drop off and when our wedding day came, it was beyond what we even hoped for and expected. Trish and her team really outdid themselves. It was down pouring so we could not use the outdoor space for cocktail hour but she accommodated us downstairs. The Ballroom was stunning. Everything was done better than I could have imagined. All of the staff were so friendly, so fun and attentive. Our matre’d’s were amazing and none of us can stop talking about how amazing the venue was, how amazing the food was, how amazing the staff was, just EVERYTHING. I’m so thankful we chose Birchwoods for our wedding venue. I’m so thankful to have met Trish and worked with her. Birchwoods is affordable, elegant, and really perfect.

I am so happy we had our reception at Birchwoods at Oak Lane! Leading up to our wedding day there were so many questions with COVID but Trish was ...
so wonderful and patient with me and answered all the questions very quickly. She customized our package so the reception was really exactly how we wanted it! The food was DELICIOUS - so many of my guests mentioned how much they enjoyed the selelctions especially the appetizers and the lobster stuffed raviolis! The beef entree was so good!! During our reception the staff was very attentive and was ready to help when we needed anything! I can not express how happy I am with everything that Trish and her team did for us!

Birchwoods did an amazing job with our wedding. From the moment we met Trish, we knew Birchwoods was the venue for us. She made us feel like family, not just another wedding.
We b...
ooked the off season package and all of the vendors associated with it were great. We also loved that they not only had a bridal suite but a “grooms room” for the guys to hang out in.
The food was amazing, guests raved about the tenderloin!
