About

Just off Route 28 in Derry, New Hampshire, hidden behind a graceful row of arborvitaes and lush grapevines, Birch Wood Vineyards offers a blend of vineyard elegance and refined warmth that is genuinely one of a kind. From the moment you arrive, the outside world falls away, replaced by manicured gardens, the subtle fragrance of the vineyard, and a setting that feels simultaneously intimate and grand. Established in 2016, Birch Wood Vineyards has grown into one of Southern New Hampshire's most celebrated wedding destinations, earning the devotion of couples and guests through an unwavering commitment to exceptional experiences.

Birch Wood Vineyards offers two distinct ceremony settings, each with its own irresistible character. Outdoors, the Wine Garden invites couples to exchange vows in a space uniquely shaped like a wine glass, a charming nod to the vineyard setting that feels as intentional as it is beautiful. Framed by a custom pergola, a grape leaf-inspired fountain, a romantic flower wall, and fragrant grapevines, it creates a serene, photo-worthy backdrop that feels wholly immersive. For those drawn to an indoor setting, the Fireside offers an equally captivating alternative, anchored by a grand majestic fireplace that fills the room with soft, warm light and an unmistakable sense of intimacy. Large windows throughout the property frame New England's ever-changing seasonal landscape, from lush summer greenery to vibrant fall foliage and peaceful winter scenes, meaning there is truly no wrong time of year to say "I do" here.

Following the ceremony, guests are welcomed into the Vineyard Room, an expansive, wine-country-inspired gathering space that sets the tone for the evening ahead. Barrel-inspired design elements, ample room for mingling, and a natural, relaxed flow make it the perfect setting for passed hors d'oeuvres and artfully crafted cocktails. It's lively yet comfortable, encouraging connection and celebration as the night fully unfolds.

The Estate Room serves as the heart of the reception experience. With its open layout, rich wood finishes, warm architectural details, and a sweeping dance floor anchored by a stunning fireplace centerpiece, it delivers a perfect balance of warmth and polished sophistication. Rich textures, natural materials, and thoughtful design details come together to create a dramatic, inviting space that makes a reception feel truly special, whether styled for an elegant seated dinner or a vibrant, high-energy celebration.

Birch Wood Vineyards provides professional staffing, event planning, and day-of coordination so every detail is handled seamlessly. In-house planners assist with vendor recommendations, floor plans, and rehearsal coordination, ensuring nothing is overlooked. A dedicated bridal suite above the Estate Room offers a spacious retreat for getting ready, with a second suite available for partners or wedding party members.

Birch Wood Vineyards is located at 199 Rockingham Road in Derry, New Hampshire, just off Route 28 and easily accessible from communities throughout Southern New Hampshire and the Greater Boston area. The property's natural beauty, from its vineyard-lined courtyard to its meticulously maintained gardens, makes it a destination worthy of the drive.

#1 Wedding Venue in the world!

There truly aren’t enough words to describe how amazing the team at Birch Wood Vineyards is. From the very beginning, their communication was detailed, timely, and incredibly organized. Melisa and Lexi were especially outstanding—extremely communicative and always responsive, even on weeknights and weekends. They were constantly making adjustments to our package to make sure the day felt completely “us.” The entire team paid attention to every little detail and was fully committed to giving my wife and I exactly what we wanted, making sure our day was nothing short of perfect. They genuinely made us feel like family throughout the entire process.

On the day of the wedding, our coordinator Avery was an absolute rockstar. I’m usually someone who likes to be in control, but with Avery, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She handled every detail flawlessly and was constantly three steps ahead the entire night. It allowed us to fully relax and just enjoy the moment, which is something you can’t put a price on.

The food—oh my goodness. Absolutely incredible. For entrees, we had the harvest chicken, NY sirloin, and quinoa eggplant. Every single dish was unbelievable—most plates were completely cleaned, mine included! For appetizers, we had buffalo chicken bites, tomato bruschetta on toast, and steak and cheese egg rolls. I honestly could have eaten an endless amount of the hors d’oeuvres—they were that good.

They even packed up extra meals for us since a few people canceled last minute, which was such a thoughtful touch. And honestly, the leftovers were just as good the next day.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. We ended up having an indoor ceremony, but what really stood out was the flexibility—they gave us the option to choose between an indoor or outdoor ceremony on the actual day, which took so much pressure off with weather uncertainty.

I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a truly magical night for their big day. My wife and I were so impressed that we’ve already decided to come back at least once a year for their tasting events.

If you’re considering Birch Wood Vineyards for your wedding, don’t hesitate. The team, the service, the food, and the venue itself are all truly top-notch.

Cozy Winter Wedding Venue!

Easy and upfront booking, planning, and billing. Excellent staff with incredible attention to detail. We felt like we were royalty the whole night! This team knows how to do weddings; aside from bringing our own personal touches, we basically just got to sit back and watch the wedding happen. We're towards the last of our friend group to get married, and our whole bridal party kept asking for tasks/jobs to do/last minute things we might have forgotten to make happen (as we have done A LOT of work on wedding day for each of their weddings). But Birch Wood had already thought of everything and let our loved ones be guests too! Best day ever, best team ever, and coziest little winter wedding we could ever imagine. Special thank you to Lexi and Avery who helped us plan and realize our vision!

November wedding

Before I even begin to talk about the venue itself, I need to highlight something that truly sets Birchwood apart: the people. A company is only as strong as the staff behind it, and Birchwood’s team is exceptional.
A huge thank-you to Lexi and Avery, who we worked with most often throughout the planning process, and an additional shout-out to Melissa and Kasia. Avery, our coordinator, was nothing short of a superstar — she handled every piece of chaos with calm professionalism and a genuine smile. She was steady, reassuring, organized, and just an absolute joy to work with. And a special shout-out to Autumn, our “personal” server that evening, who was warm, attentive, and wonderful, even though we barely had time to properly thank her because we were being pulled in every direction.
The food deserves its own standing ovation. We had guests who were vegetarian, vegan, and even vegetarian celiacs, and everyone was blown away by the quality and variety. My two brothers were in the wedding party and both have celiac disease — I was incredibly impressed by Birchwood’s care, their meticulous labeling, and the sheer number of gluten-free and allergy-friendly options. They even created an adult-sized chicken tender plate for an autistic guest with very specific sensory preferences. That level of compassion, flexibility, and service is rare, and we appreciated it more than words can say.
The natural beauty of the venue is stunning. You genuinely don’t have to do much in terms of décor — Birchwood’s elegant, warm aesthetic does the heavy lifting for you. One of the best features for us was the separate cocktail-hour space and main venue room, which was a huge stress reliever. We ended up needing to move our ceremony indoors due to weather, and it was seamless because of how well Birchwood is designed.
Pricing was transparent, fair, and comprehensive for what’s included. We asked so many questions throughout the planning process, and the staff was always responsive, patient, and helpful via email. We never felt like a burden — just supported.
A fun bonus: We had a choreographed first dance, and Birchwood allowed us to use their space for short practice sessions, which we easily booked through their online system. Small gesture, big impact.
This was truly the best day of our lives, and Birchwood and their incredible staff played a huge role in making that happen. If you’re considering this venue — do it. The service, the beauty, the organization, the heart… everything was exceptional.
We are endlessly grateful.

They simply take care of everything for you during the day. On top of it all, the venue itself is simply amazing. You won’t find a better team and venue. If you are looking to get married, come here! Thank you to this amazing team.

Our Dream Wedding at Birch Wood Vineyards

From the moment we got engaged, we knew Birch Wood Vineyards was the only venue for us. This place holds such a special place in our hearts — my now-husband, Luke Stackpole, grew up visiting his father at the venue, so it felt like home from the very beginning.

Our wedding day was nothing short of perfect. The venue is absolutely stunning, and the fact that everything is right on the property made the entire day seamless. The bridal suite was spacious and beautiful — at one point, we had nine people in the room and still felt comfortable!

We cannot say enough about the incredible staff. Our day-of coordinator and venue manager, Kasia, was an absolute angel. She made sure everything ran perfectly — from setting up our décor with Melisa, to bustling my dress and packing up extra food and cake at the end of the night. Every little detail was handled with such care and professionalism.

Our bride and groom assistant, Avery, truly went above and beyond. She stayed with us during photos, held our drinks and bouquets, and made sure we were completely relaxed and able to enjoy every moment. She was always one step ahead, whether it was grabbing something from the bridal suite or making sure our parents were having a spectacular time as well.

We also had a wonderful rehearsal the night before, which was perfectly run by Dayna — another shining star on the Birch Wood team.

And let’s talk about the food — it was absolutely fabulous! Our guests are still raving about it.

On behalf of the entire O’Loughlin-Stackpole family, we are beyond grateful to Kasia and the entire Birch Wood Vineyards team for making our dream day come true. This place is more than just a venue — it’s a place filled with heart, care, and magic. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that feels like home and treats you like family, Birch Wood is it.

Amazing staff and gorgeous venue!

My husband and I got married at Birch Wood Vineyards on June 15th and it was the best day ever from the staff being amazing, organized and having everything run smoothly! Melisa, Lexi are wonderful and answered every question that I had leading up until the wedding. Kasia was our coordinator the day of our wedding and she made me feel at ease with everything. She was polite, professional and so helpful. Mckenna took care of us and held our drinks and Hors d'oeuvres while we did pictures, she was amazing and was right there if we needed anything! The venue itself is simply gorgeous and we lucked out with no rain in the forecast, it couldn't have been a more pefect day. My husband and I still talk about the delicious food and just the day as a whole and wish we could go back and relive the day all over again. I highly recommend this place for a wedding or for any event. Thank you Birch Wood for making it an amazing day!!! Love, Alexis & Paul Vukosa

Fantastic Venue, Beautiful, Professional

My daughter was married at Birchwood in August of 2024. Her wedding exceeded all expectations. The staff was SO responsive, every time I emailed or called with a question they quickly replied.

I don't know how else I can say that this venue is an A+++++ place to have your wedding.
