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.

Best decision we ever made was booking with Birchtown Weddings!

I can’t say enough great things about Jess and her family at Birchtown. They made our wedding so stress free from day one planning to day of. And they make you feel like you’re a part of their family all the way through. Jess does not miss a single minor detail that goes into making your day perfect. So many things that I didn’t even think of, she already had covered. Karen handled the catering and every single thing came out perfect. She was even able to accommodate some of our gluten free and vegan guests and everyone was very pleased with all the food. The decorations were beautiful, the food was amazing, the land is breathtaking, so many opportunities for photos, the coordination of the wedding was perfect. They truly knocked it out of the park for our wedding. I would recommend everyone to meet with them to discuss your wedding needs. You will not meet a more professional yet laid back and accommodating venue like this.. You truly will not be disappointed.

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
