Dream wedding!

My initial attraction to birchtown was their affordability and the fact that they included just about everything in their wedding packages. No stress over chair rentals, catering or bartenders. Then once I met with Jessica and found out they took care of even more things like decor (perfect for a type B bride and couples on a budget) and saw the gorgeous grounds we were sold! Communication was perfect throughout the 2 years of planning. They were always responsive to questions. When the day finally came everything was PERFECT!! From having a relaxing morning in the gorgeous bridal suite with included breakfast and lunch, to the outdoor ceremony, to the reception, to the end of the night in the cozy on site apartment. Jessica was present throughout it all coordinating and even assisting the photographer. The amount of people that came up to me raving about the place was endless. They all talked about how beautiful it is and and how amazing the food was and kept saying “how did you find this place”. They truly cared about our experience and treated us like family and it really really showed. We will be HIGHLY recommending Birchtown for ever.

My dream wedding thanks to everyone at Birchtown Weddings!

My wedding was this past weekend at Birchtown Stables and I can’t express enough how beautiful, wonderful, organized, PERFECT everything was from start to finish! Being from Long Island we knew that we didn’t want our locations typical “factory line” wedding. We’re so grateful we found Birchtown because our wedding turned out exactly how we wanted it to! It was such a personal experience from start to finish. Jess and her mom and the entire time was just so wonderful every step of the way. The weather was chilly but Jess calmed my nerves the whole time and took away so much stress that morning. The decorations she used, and some she got for us, exceeded my expectations. She’s truly an artist at decorating that reception room and my guests raved about it! The guests also couldn’t stop talking about the food!! 3 days later and I am still getting texts from family about how wonderful everything was- shout out to the cocktail hour meatballs and the chicken francese and potato’s! I could not think of one single thing that went wrong that day. It was the best day of my life thanks to the entire staff and we are eternally grateful to them for making our day so perfect!

We love Birchtown!

We recently got married at Birchtown and it was the best experience we could have asked for. From the budget friendly prices of the venue/food to the little details that Jessica (owner) had helped us planned, meant so much to us! Extremely flexible and recommended the best vendors to help make our day absolutely flawless. Was blessed to work with Jessica and Karen. They treated us like family!

Amazing wedding location!!

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.

Wedding of our dreams

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.

Beautiful Venue,Stress free planning & Animal friendly!

Wedding planning is no easy task but Jess & her family/staff at Birchtown made it such an easy process! From answering our silly questions promptly to easing our worries from little to big things and being a help throughout our wedding day with vendors & helping with pictures,She covered it all. The wedding venue is beautiful as well! She decorates the venue and does a great job with the color schemes. We couldn't recommend Birchtown Wedding & Events more to anyone who is looking to book their wedding!
