"It is hard to put into words how happy we were with Birch Hill! Serena worked with us through every detail in the months leading up to our wedding. Our guests were blown away by the amazing service and fantastic food! Many guests made it a point to communicate to us that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. I wish I could relive the experience all over again, Serena and the rest of the staff made sure it was the best night of our lives! 10/10 recommend!"

"Amazing food, venue & staff!
We had been searching for a while for a venue before we landed upon Birch Hill. The minute my (now husband!) and I walked into the Conservatory Ballroom, we KNEW that was where we wanted to throw the best wedding reception ever! The staff was amazing, and Serena was the most amazing coordinator I could have ever asked for. Josh and I were treated like absolute ROYALTY all day! The food was out of this world! Thank you to all of the staff, especially Serena, for making our day the most seamless, best day ever!"
Kendra & Josh J.
"When planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to go with a more “all inclusive” type venue where food, ceremony and reception space were offered, and Birch Hill did not disappoint! Between the beautiful options for ceremony/reception, the scenic outside grounds available for our photos, and the food - our friends and family keep telling us how it was the best wedding they’ve been to, ever. We felt so comfortable putting our wedding day into Serena's hands and because of that we were able to truly enjoy our day. If you’re looking to have a stress free wedding day, she’s your girl!"
