The Birchwood is elite with customer service and doesn’t disappoint. Working with Michael 27 years ago for my wedding and working with him again for my daughter was like going back in time. His professionalism and commitment to quality has exceeded our expectations. Then there is Farrell from day one did not disappoint. Her attention to detail and her commitment to my daughters happiness was beyond overwhelming. Four days before the wedding calling us with different ideas for ice sculptures to making sure the cocktail hour was over the top was just unbelievable. I will not only recommend the Birchwood I will continue to ensure I do business with them. Thank you all at the Birchwood. You made my daughter and son in laws day. A special thanks to Farrell and Michael.

Perfect for any wedding vibe/style

there are not enough words to describe how wonderful and beautiful my day at the birchwood was! my parents got married at the birchwood almost 30 years ago & i am so lucky that the beauty of the location was not only preserved but progressed. My brother and I had our communions there and I got to walk down the aisle in the room my communion was and have my first dance where my parents had theirs. if you have the luxury of having an event of the birchwood, you won’t be disappointed. they will surpass every expectation. Mike and Farrell are the most kind, accessible, and dedicated people I have ever met. They were there for me in every moment. The day is always stressful as a bride- but Farrell made my day so smoothe and fun and I couldn’t praise her enough. They took the time to make our day one like out of a story book. My husband and I were truly on cloud 9- because they considered every detail to make our day as memorable as it was. It was not our first event here and it will not be our last. The most beautiful venue employs the most beautiful people, if your looking for a perfect place- go to THE BIRCHWOOD!!!

Our company has entertained at numerous venues throughout the entire tri-state area and Birchwood Manor ranks among the best. Their attention to detail and the ways in which I have personally witnessed them treating their guests truly stands out. I would strongly recommend this facility for any occasion.
