From the reviews
I can’t say enough about how wonderful the staff at Birch Hill was for our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Jennifer, our coordinator, was so on top of everything, and made sure we thought of every possible detail - even things we hadn’t considered! Then, on our wedding day, I tested positive for Covid.
It is hard to put into words how happy we were with Birch Hill Catering! Serena worked with us through every detail in the months leading up to our wedding. We had our ceremony in the Columbia Ballroom with our reception immediately following in the Conservatory Room.
I had an opportunity to photograph a wedding at Birch Hill this fall and WOW, it was GREAT. Overall it is such a solid venue. Birch Hill had SO MANY great, scenic spots. I was blown away by how gorgeous the reception hall was. It would be impossible to take a bad photo in there.
Molly and all of the staff at Birch Hill made my daughter’s baby shower a wonderful, elegant experience. Everyone was so friendly, informative and accommodating.
Getting married at Birch Hill Catering
Birch Hill Catering comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Birch Hill Catering
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Birch Hill Catering — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
