I couldn’t have asked for a better day! The whole team was beyond great. From the decor to the food/drinks! Trish Gina you ladies are truly THE best! Thank you for making my wedding day a fairytale!

Birchwoods did an amazing job with our wedding. From the moment we met Trish, we knew Birchwoods was the venue for us. She made us feel like family, not just another wedding. We booked the off season package and all of the vendors associated with it were great. We also loved that they not only had a bridal suite but a “grooms room” for the guys to hang out in. The food was amazing, guests raved about the tenderloin!

My husband and I were looking for a place to get married for this year and when we walked into Birchwoods we fell in love right away. Trish makes the inside look very rustic, which was what we were looking for. She had open communication with us the entire time we were planning. Our wedding had to be postponed from April to August due to Covid-19. We were slightly bummed since we wanted to have our wedding in the beautiful banquet hall, but Trish and her staff went above and beyond to make our outdoor August wedding even more amazing than we could have imagined. Everything was perfect and they took care of every detail the day of and days leading to our wedding. As the bride, as soon as I stepped foot on the premises I felt stress free and relaxed. The staff was very attentive to my husband and I, and our guests had the best time. The food was awesome and Trish and her staff took every precaution to make us and our guests feel safe and comfortable. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts, especially since I thought our day wouldnt be the same with the change!

This is a great venue for holding events. Very clean and beautiful facility, staff were nice and friendly. Food was pretty good too.

Just had my daughters wedding there it was great. The staff was outstanding, very helpful and ran things very smoothly. The country club grounds are beautiful and even the club members were very friendly. A real great group of people that helped make my daughters day real special. Thank You

Fast and friendly service, great food and clean!

I must share the wonderful experience we had at the Birchwood Banquet Facility. I had called the facility to see if our party of five could come to dinner since it was where we were married exactly 50 years before to the day when it was Oak Lane. Although there was a wedding going on, Trish was amazing. She made it work! She accommodated us with her superb service in our own private room. It made for a perfect evening for our 50th anniversary celebration !

Just had my rehearsal dinner and wedding here, place was phenomenal for both of them. The staff was great, Trish was available for us to talk to all the time in planning our wedding and the wedding day staff of PJ and Gina were awesome and took care of all of our needs. The off peak season package is affordable and you get a great photographer and DJ included. Ill be recommending them to anyone who is getting married.

Had my wedding here almost 2 years ago. Loved the place from the moment I walked in, extremely clean and inviting. Food is amazing and Trish and her staff make you feel like family.

We were beyond stressed over our wedding. With covid we had to change it two different times. They all were so far and beyond helpful with everything. The servers were extremely friendly, helpful, Russell Photography was awesome. So many times you go to places and people put on a kind smile and say all the right things to get your business, but then the event comes and people aren’t as kind as they lead you to believe. With Trish & PJ they remained the same from day one. . Everything at our wedding, every aspect was truly awesome because of each one of them. I will recommend them to any and everyone that needs a place for events. I truly can not thank them enough for their hard work and dedication to making our wedding what it was. So anyone who wants a place who truly cares about you and your event, then this is the place.Anthony A

I would recommend Birchwoods at Oaklane to anyone who was recently engaged and looking for an exciting and flawless wedding planning process. Our wedding was about a month ago, July 11th, and we planned a wedding through COVID. Trish and the whole staff were beyond accommodating and supportive!! Trish is so caring and genuine and willing to help out in anyway, including decorations and centerpieces! She has such a fantastic rustic vision and our day was everything we could ever have imagined. She set us up with our photography(Russells Photography), photobooth, DJ (RJtheDJ), and Cake (Kims Cottage Confections) and they were all the best decisions of our lives. On the actual day PJ and Gina were amazing. They made sure we had everything we needed and never let our drinks go empty. I cant speak highly enough. All of our guests said this was one of the best weddings they have attended and the dance floor was never empty. Birchwoods makes you feel like family. Thank you for everything Trish and the whole team!

So late with this post but me and my husband got married this past November here, it was beautiful. inside and out, Trish and her team were amazing. And her sisters photography team they are incredible. I wouldnt look anywhere else if you are looking for a wedding spot.

Such a beautiful and scerene location. The staff was very good and the hall was nice and big for a variety of set ups for any occasion. The occasion I attended was a bridal shower and there was so much space for the different stations set up and the spacing was great especially during this Covid time. It was quite lovely here.

Beautiful venue. Friendly staff. Clean environment. My sisters wedding was absolutely amazing at this venue!

Wonderful venue and staff is very friendly and helpful

Great place to film! Owner was a wonderful who is very attentive!

We are so happy to have chosen Birchwoods for our wedding. The venue is beautiful, very spacious and the view is spectacular. Trish was delightful, we couldnt ask for a better Maitre D.

Had my sons wedding here and I was very happy with the venue. PJ and the staff were outstanding. They treated us like family and were very attentive to all our needs.

Later part of Friday afternoon visit to the 19th hole after playing the front 9. The person attending to the spirits and food service was very professional and had a nice demeanor.

We jul ust had our wedding here on 2/29/20. Trish is fantastic to work with and extremely helpful with details. Food was very good and well timed and went very smooth. YOU MUST HAVE the bacon wrapped dates for a appetizer they are just AMAZING you must try them.Trish had our even running like a fine watch and everything flowed perfectly and professionally.Birchwoods is a fantastic one stop venue, where you can have a truly memorable experience.Thank you Trish and staff for making our wedding day perfect.Rob and Annmarie Weber

Great wedding venue

The experience that I had at Birchwoods for a baby shower was above and beyond. The facilities were immaculate and the event space was beautiful. The service could not have been better, the staff was awesome and extremely attentive. Not one single detail was overlooked that day. I would recommend using Birchwoods to anyone that is in need of space for any type of event!

If you are looking for an event place, try here! They do so much more than weddings. I have had several educational meetings....the space is terrific for 25 people or 150. Ive also had business annual meetings here, where there are professional business people. Food is very good. They are very flexible and willing to work with all kinds of crazy set ups! Trish and her team are terrific, and I highly recommend them. Have a great day, Team Trish!!Its me! Jill Wood....

Very nice

We attended a wedding this past weekend here. The grounds are beautiful, breathtaking views all around. Well maintained. The staff are all very friendly and attentive. You can get amazing, well crafted drinks from very adept bartenders. Sadly, the food is awful. The wedding we attended was buffet style and the meager amount of food put out was barely enough to feed everyone at the wedding. The small basket of dinner rolls were not replenished and neither was the salad. The stuffed sole was bland and we actually thought it was chicken at first. Pene ala vodka was not remotely that. The mashed potatoes were good.

Was here October 21st for my Son and Daughter in law Baby Shower. GREAT, CLEAN PLACE NICE PPL GREAT ATMOSPHERE 🙏🏼😀💘💘💘💘

Lovely venue, attended a very elegant shower there....I was a little disappointed in the food however. Things kept running out (for example- the cocktails, salad, and soup) and we had to keep asking the servers to restock. Otherwise, a very pretty venue

Went here for a family reunion. The facility was extremely beautiful. The food was excellent. The staff seemed nice for the most part as well. My only complaints were that the water there had a really strange taste to it, and the soda they served us was flat.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Birchwoods. Trish is very easy to work with and very accommodating with letting you borrow/ use what they have. She also allowed us to bring things in, like sweets for our candy bar favors. We were a little unhappy with the service some guests and vendors told us they received. Not getting their meal and having to asked for it, or getting cold/ inedible food. Several guests said the fish (that was the most amazing fish my husband said he has ever eaten after our tasting) was terrible and most sent it back. We were also unsatisfied with how some things were set up and packed at the end of the day. It appears to us that not much care or thought was put into it. Something as small as packaging up the top tier of our cake, it was done carelessly and was destroyed. Our custom cake topper was not wrapped at all, no care was put into putting it away (didn’t even wipe the frosting off) and was badly broken. We are very disappointed in how the day was run. We were under the impression both Trish and Amy would be running the day together but instead Amy was working in the restaurant separate from our event. The entire day was not pushed along and run as it needed to be/ should have been. There was a SEVERE lack of communication. I am told that members of the wedding party and vendors could not find Trish multiple times throughout the day. We even had an entire FRONT row empty at the ceremony (you can see the empty row in our photos and video) but people standing. A few people told me that they were told to leave these seats empty/ they could not sit there, we have no idea why that row was left empty. I also personally find it unethical and a conflict of interest that Russell’s photography is listed as a preferred vendor though Trish refers to Danielle (the owner of Russell’s) as her sister it was never disclosed to us that Danielle is also listed with the Connecticut Secretary of State as a part owner.

Very nice place clean friendly staff food was very good.

Beautiful facility with a great atmosphere and a top notch staff who caters to your needs.

Great place, people and service. So warm and welcoming.

We celebrated our daughters graduation there place is beautiful and the staff very professional food was great 🎉

Just attended a MSBC event and I was shocked that there were only two ladies working a room for over a hundred people and the service could not have been better. Plus, the food was exquisite. Looking forward to coming back.

Hello everyone,just attended a birthday party for a good friend of mine and it turned out awsome! Wonderful service all around... iI would totally recommend this place to anyone who is looking for elegance, relaxing atmosphere and great catering service. I truly felt in love with this place. One of my favorite ones so far. Thank you for wonderful service!

I could not be happier to have chosen this venue for my daughters quinceañeras. Trish is really amazing, she is soooo helpful and on point with every detail, even things you may forget to ask her for, because youre running around, like setting up a beautiful cake and a gift table!

Professional staff--very competent and attentive to detail and to the schedule.

Beautiful and well kept facilities. The staff was helpful and pleasant

I had a great family reunion here and wanna plan on doing more things here too.

A beautiful place service was pleasant and the food was excellent overall a wonderful venue

The place looked beautiful, the food was great, and the staff was wonderful... you can’t ask for more!

Very nice for a bridal shower. Staff was good.

Great place excellent food and relaxing

Beautiful place to get married.

Celebration of my moms birthday

Great food and staff. Would recommend for a wedding venue.

I have eaten at all of the restraunts in Connecticut and this food I wouldnt even consider edible. It had a stench that lurked throughout the whole entire room and it smelled like my cats food. The food I was served gave me a stomache ache and they claim they have such a reputation when in reality they served frozen mac and cheese like tasted like it was just popped in the microwave. The venue itself was nothing special and it smelt like a nursing home of hospice. Overall an awful experience and it is completely subpar and the owners should be embarrassed to even have a venue of this low quality open when beautiful Venues like Anthonys ocean view are just a few towns away. The room was musty and the dust on the walls I would only find on my grandmothers attic. Not toMention the bathrooms did Not have one paper towel and I had to wipe my hands on the walls. The hamburger looked even shittier then the ones st McDonalds and quite frankly I wouldnt even let my cat smell itNever mind eat It. The taco meat had a spider in it and I threw up and smeared it all over the mens bathroom oops. i dont recommend this venue to anyone.

The staff here are amazing!

Beautiful place to celebrate

Beautiful venue.

Catering is great
