I cannot say how truly thankful I am for Chiara at Silver Birches. She was so wonderful in tailoring and organizing my wedding. She was so lovely to work with and I had one of the best days of my life because of all her help. Silver Birches provided a list of all preferred vendors that we chose from and we were not disappointed. The guests loved the buffet food we had and the environment of the lodging area. We also had a bonfire after the wedding that they helped organize which was a lovely after party. Overall we could not have been happier with everything!

A dream come true
Silver Birches is a dream venue. The location is beautiful - ceremonies are outside by the lake and the reception hall is a large, light-filled space with floor to ceiling lake views. You can stay on-site in a lake house or cottage and the venue takes care of every detail. They even have decor you can incorporate into your design (lanterns, votives, bird cage for cards, etc.) and the price they quote you includes everything: food, open bar, the wedding cake and all taxes. There are absolutely no hidden fees. But by far the best thing about Silver Birches are the staff. Everyone we dealt with was so friendly and helpful. Our day-of coordinator, Karen, was amazing. She took such good care of us on our wedding day; from bringing us drinks during photos to even giving me a hair tie at the end of the night when I desperately needed it. It’s the little things that go a long way and make all the difference. I looked at a ton of venues both online and in person, and nothing compared to Silver Birches. If you’re looking for a stress-free wedding at a reasonable price, in a gorgeous location in the Poconos - this is it!

Your Perfect Wedding with Rev. Gina M. Pace Wedding Officiants
Ehrhards's will simply take your breath away! I was blessed to be able to perform a wedding ceremony there last season and I have a few more scheduled in this and next season and am really looking forward to it. The meal was one of the best I've ever had at a reception and being in the weddings business for almost twenty years that is saying a lot! their facility is beautiful inside and out and every last detail has been seen to. The view over the lake is perfect and the reception room maximizes that view. They are kind to vendors, too. (I wish I could say that about all venues) I give them five stars!
