Birchwood Manor — Attraction in Hanover Township

We fell in love with Birchwood Manor the first time we visited 2 years ago as the first person we met with was Michael Marino, who was so warm and welcoming from the beginning. Since then, we’ve worked with Michael on planning our wedding and he was so great to work with. He was easy to communicate with, super energetic and full of positive energy throughout the planning, and very informative. We wanted our dogs in the ceremony a lower guest minimum for fear that less people at the time would attend due to covid and Michael quickly accommodated our requests, no questions asked! Our wedding was 10/14/23 and Farrell was our maitre’d. After getting home, my matron of honor, brother in law and mom had nothing but AMAZING things to say about Farrell. According to my mom, Farrell saw my grandpa had trouble with his boutonniere and she, without us asking, started helping him and all the other groomsmen clip them on. She worked with my husband on getting a little last-minute seating mishap resolved (we had some unplanned guests who had initially rsvp’d no and showed up). She was so good with children as our flower girl and flower boy/ring bearer were 4 and 7 and she interacted with them and helped show them what to do at the ceremony. Our day of coordinator unfortunately had an emergency and was not there part of the wedding but Farrell really took over and checked in on us constantly and took charge of the day. My matron of honor said Farrell was so nice and reliable and amazing at her job. Going back to the wedding, our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous the venue was, down to the chandeliers in the ballroom. Our wedding was unfortunately outdoors but Birchwood was so accommodating with allowing us to use the Grand Ballroom for the ceremony as the reception was already set up elsewhere. We upgraded the cocktail hour to deluxe and with both my husband and I being from Chinese families with high expectations in regards to seafood, the lobster tails were gone instantly as our guests loved them so much. People raved about how good the cocktail hour was, including the carving station and shrimp scampi station. The ice sculpture was a beautiful and elegant touch. All in all, we and our guests had nothing but an amazing time at Birchwood. We have nothing but positive experiences through our 2 years of wedding planning. Thank you Michael and Farrell and Birchwood Manor for helping us plan our wedding and make our wedding day visions really...

From the very moment we met Farrell, the amazing woman who runs the events, we were so impressed. Our son and our now-daughter in-law just got married last Fri., 8/4/23. We had the most wonderful time and have continued to receive calls and text messages from friends and family who joined the celebration. Farrell had been helpful, professional, acutely attentive and thoughtful every single moment of the wedding from planning to seeing it to fruition. The staff working there is also beyond helpful, friendly, kind and professional. The food was delicious, and I only hope I’ll be able to go back as a guest to enjoy much more of everything (since being a parent of the groom didn’t allow me nearly enough time to try it all - even though Farrell had some foods from the cocktail hour brought up to the wedding party to enjoy prior to heading back down to the party. ‘Great foresight and thoughtfulness!). Given that the weather forecast had definitely called for heavy rain and t-storms, Farrell made sure we would be easily accommodated no matter what our needs would be. Miraculously, it didn’t end up raining, and we were able to hold the ceremony outside as planned. The bridal suite is very large with multiple rooms and restrooms, tables & chairs, & places to have food brought up to us and laid out. I’m positive I’m forgetting so many more wonderful comments about our experience a couple days ago. I wouldn’t for a split second have any reservations whatsoever about very highly recommending The Birchwood Manor, and especially Farrell and her team, for special events. I cannot thank them enough. I wish I had photos to post, but please look at what others have shown. (Our wedding ceremony took place in the back area as compared to the front side when first arriving. It was lovely and more than accommodating of our approximately 140. guests. As another small touch, even the chairs they use are super pretty. Clearly I’m extremely happy. LOL!) Definitely visit and consider this venue. You...

I cannot express enough the wonderful experience my husband and I had at Birchwood Manor for our multicultural wedding! From the very beginning, our Maitre D’ Farrell was so welcoming, patient, and professional. Our wedding was the first for both of our families, so it was extremely helpful having a calm and confident wedding coordinator to guide us through all the planning stages. Farrell brought the calming energy we needed, making the planning process very enjoyable. The venue is beautiful! Our guests commented on the charming and elegant décor, as well as the breathtaking outdoor landscaping. We really felt like winners finding a venue that was beautiful both indoors and outdoors!

We got married on June 23, 2019. Our wedding day was absolutely PERFECT! Farrell did an amazing job keeping us on schedule. She was extremely attentive and made sure we had time for the things we planned, such as sneaking away for a brief nighttime photo session. The Birchwood staff did an excellent job transforming the event space for our ceremony and reception. All the rooms at Birchwood are gorgeous. We especially loved the Greenery, an atrium surrounded by plants, with sunlight pouring in through large windows. This was definitely a unique space for our cocktail hour. The Jefferson ballroom was the perfect room for our ceremony and reception. Our families and friends love to dance, and the spacious ballroom gave us a comfortable space—even when our entire party was out on the dance floor!

We were lucky to have beautiful weather and enjoyed taking photos outside by the fountains and archways. All the food provided by Birchwood Manor (cocktail hour, dinner, dessert and cake) was AMAZING and our guests noted that as well. It was such a pleasure working with Farrell and the entire Birchwood team! You can tell they love what they do and genuinely care about making your day unforgettable. We highly...
