    Perfect for any wedding vibe/style

    there are not enough words to describe how wonderful and beautiful my day at the birchwood was! my parents got married at the birchwood almost 30 years ago & i am so lucky that the beauty of the location was not only preserved but progressed. My brother and I had our communions there and I got to walk down the aisle in the room my communion was and have my first dance where my parents had theirs. if you have the luxury of having an event of the birchwood, you won’t be disappointed. they will surpass every expectation. Mike and Farrell are the most kind, accessible, and dedicated people I have ever met. They were there for me in every moment. The day is always stressful as a bride- but Farrell made my day so smoothe and fun and I couldn’t praise her enough. They took the time to make our day one like out of a story book. My husband and I were truly on cloud 9- because they considered every detail to make our day as memorable as it was. It was not our first event here and it will not be our last. The most beautiful venue employs the most beautiful people, if your looking for a perfect place- go to THE BIRCHWOOD!!!

    The Birchwood is elite with customer service and doesn’t disappoint. Working with Michael 27 years ago for my wedding and working with him again for my daughter was like going back in time. His professionalism and commitment to quality has exceeded our expectations. Then there is Farrell from day one did not disappoint. Her attention to detail and her commitment to my daughters happiness was beyond overwhelming. Four days before the wedding calling us with different ideas for ice sculptures to making sure the cocktail hour was over the top was just unbelievable. I will not only recommend the Birchwood I will continue to ensure I do business with them. Thank you all at the Birchwood. You made my daughter and son in laws day. A special thanks to Farrell and Michael.

    Amazing wedding venue!!!

    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 come to life!

    Best day of our lives!!

    Words cannot express how thankful we are to Birchwood Manor for making our dream wedding come true. From the start of the wedding planning process until the very end, our banquet manager and maitre d, Farrell, made sure every one of our requests were granted. She made the whole process easy and enjoyable and we knew from the moment we met with her that we were in great hands. Three months later, and our guests are still raving about the delicious food. The cocktail hour had multiple stations ranging from sushi bar, seafood bar, carvings, fajitas, to our favorite gourmet mac and cheese and more. I was even surprised by custom ice carvings! The lobster tail and filet mignon dinner was melt in your mouth perfection. And for an exciting finish, there was an endless assortment of passed desserts that had our guests tasting them all. The service was fast and friendly, and accommodating to some of my guests dietary requests. Even though it ended up raining prior to the start of our ceremony, the staff at Birchwood was able to set up an inside ceremony that was just as beautiful. Thank you once again to Birchwood Manor and Farrell for one of the best nights of our lives!!!

    Simply the best!!!

    I could not have been happier with my venue choice. I traveled to several places before deciding on my wedding venue, and Birchwood Manor truly stood out for its beauty, elegance, spaciousness, and most importantly, the banquet manager Farrell. Farrell is a kind, dedicated, and experienced manager who goes out of her way to make your dream day come true!!! I know that my wedding day would not have turned out the way it did, if it had not been for Farrell. I planned my wedding for a while (about two years), and throughout the whole time, Farrell was there, helping me sort through all my questions and concerns. Even on the wedding day, Farrell stayed until the end of night, making sure the wedding goes smoothly and resolving any unexpected issues so that we can enjoy our day.

    If I am to have any large events in the future, I would for sure come back to Birchwood Manor. The venue is so elegant and well-maintained, and it exudes an air of grandeur and warmth that comes from the fact that it's been family-owned for generations. You can tell that the venue is taken care of with affection. And the chandeliers! I fell in love when I first saw them. You cannot make a better decision--if you are on the fence, choose them without any hesitation. Highly, highly recommended!

    Wedding of our dreams

    Our wedding was absolutely perfect at the Birchwood Manor. My husband and I cannot recommend this venue enough. Every experience working with Farrell and her team leading up to the day was fun and stress free. All of our questions were answered and every accommodation was made to make our wedding exactly what we envisioned. Farrell was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. She went above and beyond to make it the absolute most perfect day. The Birchwood Manor is a stunning venue that is beautifully maintained. It’s unique decor and beautiful grounds were so lovely for all of our photos. Our guests had an amazing night and everybody couldn’t stop talking about the cocktail hour. All the food on our wedding night was exceptional. We really cannot say enough good things. Thank you again for helping us create the wedding of our dreams!

    Best experience ever

    Birchwood Manor was the perfect choice for my daughter’s wedding. The venue was beautiful and elegant in every possible way. The outdoor grounds with all its’ arches and water fountains provided amazing wedding photos opportunities and lovely outdoor seatings for our guests.
    The cocktail hour with all the variety of delicious options and amazing active cooking stations received impressive compliments from all our guests. The main venue hall was just beautiful and large and had one of the largest dance floors, a great guest seating and a stage setting for the sweetheart table and back drops. But the most impressive and special highlight about Birchwood Manor was Farell (the venue coordinator). Farell is the sweetest, most accommodating and loveliest human being. My daughter and her husband cannot stop talking about Farell’s kindness and accommodations to them especially that they are both from out of state and have inflexible schedules. She worked with them around their schedules and helped coordinate with all their vendors appointments. She was excited for their big day as any close member of our family. Farell made a big impact on all of us and made my daughter’s wedding experience very smooth and extra special. We can’t thank her enough.

    The best venue ever

    I cannot say enough positive things about Birchwood Manor. Words cannot do justice to this incredible venue, its outstanding venue coordinator (Farrell) who went above and beyond in every way possible, beautiful indoor halls and outdoor greenery, most delicious cocktail hour and reception dinner and desserts, large dance floor, spacious-ness, elegance and uniqueness, everything! My husband and I received endless compliments after our wedding toward our choice of venue and everything that came with it. Everyone had an amazing evening and Birchwood Manor was a huge part of the reason this was possible. Specially, we wanted to give the biggest shoutout to the venue coordinator, Farrell. From day one, Farrell was willing and HAPPY to work with us to make our wedding dream come true. In the year that followed, she was always quick to respond to our questions, she helped us coordinate with different vendors, she advised us regarding many aspects of wedding planning we had not thought of, she was excited with us for our big day and made it feel like she was part of our family prepping for it. On the day of the wedding, she did everything we requested and MORE. She made sure the day ran smoothly and she fixed any issues or questions that came up behind the scenes. She made our wedding as stress-free as possible and as joyful as possible. We love you, Farrell, and can't thank you enough for being a blessing in our lives! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined because of Birchwood Manor, and we are forever grateful we found this place

    Absolutely amazing!

    I can't give enough positive feedback for Birchwood! Michael and his team are AMAZING people to work with. Every request we made he was able to do for us. He went above and beyond by offering us an extended cocktail hour, an ice cream bar instead of a traditional wedding cake, and an extra vegetarian option to accommodate a few of the guests' needs. The food was wonderful and cocktail hour was very robust! The dance floor (newly redone) is HUGE and centrally located in the ballroom which was exactly what we needed for our big families to get up and dance :) This is an extremely affordable venue as well, offering the one of the lowest prices per person during the summer wedding season out of the venues we looked at! Michael was incredibly attentive to us and our guests the night of the wedding and made sure we had whatever it was that we needed (food, drinks, etc). Our families and friends had the most amazing time and it truly felt like we were welcomed guests by the most hospitable family at the Birchwood!

    Magnificent facility, great food and wonderful staff!

    Wonderful facility!!! Second only to their graciously thoughtful staff. We had our wedding there years ago and last month had our son's first Communion Celebration. It was awesome! We went to 5 different First Communion Celebrations this year to 5 different places and the Birchwood Manor was superior to them all - by a long shot. More magnificent facilities, staff was more helpful, food was better and with better choices and the prices were basically the same. They made us look like we were so much smarter in choosing the Birchwood Manor. In fact, 3 of our guests asked to be "hooked up" with the facility's management team and I've heard they all booked future events there. We were luck to find such a magnificent place with such a helpful team and wonderful food. We will book with them again and again.

    It was a pleasure working with staff at The Birchwood.

    The Birchwood Manor in Whippany provided us with a beautiful bridal shower for our daughter in April. Working with Farrell was such a pleasure. She was so knowledgeable and accommodating. Our brunch was excellent and the atmosphere of Ann Farrell’s was the perfect setting.

    We had the engagement ceremony for our son here and the event was just perfect due to the efforts of the Marino family. They went above and beyond what was expected of them to help make the event a grand success.

    Birchwood Manor Venue for Hindu Wedding

    The Birchwood Manor was the wedding venue of our dreams! The venue is a family owned business and the entire team there takes great pride in making couples' dreams come true. From the big programmatic plans to the small little details. Farrell Holleran, Owner, Banquet Manager and our own Maitre D', made us feel like we were old friends from the moment we met her to the end of our wedding. We had a Hindu ceremony at the Birchwood and part of the ceremony involves fresh rose petals, which our decor artist forgot to provide to us. In the rush of the day, when the families were looking for the flowers during the ceremony, Farrell stepped into action and plucked her fresh flowers from the venue's lush garden so that nothing would be amiss for our big day. We SO appreciated it.
    The venue itself is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous and makes all your photo and video inspirations come to life. I could not recommend this venue more. It is everything you could dream of, with the significant bonus of the team and staff putting in that extra mile to ensure everything goes off without a hitch.

    Can't recommend more highly!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Birchwood Manor and about Farrell, the person who helped plan and coordinate everything for our event. We were looking for an outdoor venue to have our party, and we knew right away that this would be a lovely setting because the grounds are really beautiful. It is like having your own personal garden overlooking a mansion.

    Although it ended up raining during our entirely outdoor event, we had a tent set up with a beautiful fountain, plantings, and the grand entrance to Birchwood Manor as our backdrop. The setting was so beautiful that, even though it rained, it did not spoil a thing!

    Everyone raved about the food, the setting, the service, and the decor. There was nothing I needed to do to decorate the tent, aside from bringing some flowers. It looked just fabulous with Birchwood Manor's table settings and the backdrop of the grounds!

    Throughout the planning process, Farrell was always responsive to my requests and available to help me plan for the contingencies of a COVID party. Birchwood Manor was flexible with the minimum number of guests they required and very understanding of the unpredictability of COVID. Farrell was incredibly on top of every detail and honestly, I was entirely stress-free throughout the party knowing that she had everything covered.

    I cannot recommend Birchwood Manor more highly! I can confidently say you will be in the best hands. Several of my guests are already considering booking a party with them. And I would come back again in a heartbeat! I have been told that Birchwood Manor has many repeat customers and groups that regularly host parties there. I can completely understand why! If you are able to book your event here, this is the place to do it! I am thrilled that we decided to have our party here, and we have wonderful memories of the day.

    A True North Jersey Treasure

    Not having a traditional storybook wedding on her first go-around, Kathy insisted that this one would be special, and so it was. Complete with medieval trumpet fanfare, and all the rest, the official ceremony was performed at the Pax Amicus Castle in Budd Lake NJ. That promised to be a tough act to follow, but there was still the matter of the 5-hour reception dinner party, which ultimately capped off the special event with total perfection.

    Considerable time was spent searching for just the right venue somewhere within a 25 mile radius of Kenvil. After reviewing about a half dozen such places, we finally settled on The Birchwood Manner in Whippany NJ. We could not have possibly made a better choice of venue, and our guests agreed as many of them expressed positive comments in that regard throughout the evening. There was absolutely nothing lacking where quality and class are concerned.

    The family-run facility was prepared to handle everything, including an open bar. The Birchwood Manor provides easy access and ample parking for several hundred guests. The property grounds are adorned with picturesque fountains and beautifully manicured statue gardens which provided excellent photo opportunities, including a couple unscheduled candid shots which I made possible. Inside the facility, elegant lighting provided a warm glow to the charming mansion style architecture. With spacious ballrooms on both levels, an ornate grand staircase leads to the second floor, but an elevator is also available for those who need it. Unlike many similar facilities, they had no problem allowing candles on the linen covered dinner tables.

    Thanks to the COVID nuisance, our wedding had been postponed several times due to temporary disruptions or postponements of various services. Nevertheless, the Birchwood owner and Manager Michael Marino was very patient and extremely pleasant to work with, as he remained on standby for our event for more than a year. Sitting down with Michael in his office on several occasions always felt like we were all old friends getting together to chat. As plans for the reception progressed, we eventually left his office feeling that there was little or nothing that he would say NO to. He was also very detail oriented, and left no stone unturned during the planning of our event - from start to finish. Everything from pre-event setups to post-event takedowns was thoughtfully planned out and carefully executed.

    Being a foodie of sorts, my primary interest was in their menu, and in most cases the food was to die for. The cocktail hour included a wide variety of mouth-watering morsels, many of which I couldn’t even pronounce. That alone could have satisfied me for the evening, and I needed to be reminded that a 4-course dinner was to follow. If anyone left there hungry, it was their own fault, because the food just kept coming all evening.

    The food was expertly prepared by well seasoned chefs. The meal was cooked to perfection and artfully plated. Everything on the menu seemed to be a fancy version of something. In advance, we picked out 3 different entrees, one each of beef, poultry, and seafood, so that our guests could place their orders right from their respective tables. A dance floor is centered in the dining area, which became necessary to burn off enough calories to make room for dessert, which eventually led to the wedding cake. Not only did they prepare a cake based on our specifications and the topper which we supplied, but they also eventually cut it and served it as well. On that note however, our guests were treated to much more than just a bite of cake. On each plate was a modest slice of wedding cake flanked by chocolate covered strawberries, butted up against a clear edible candy dish filled with ice cream that was topped with syrup. Talk about decadence! In that case you truly “could even eat the dishes”, at least the ice cream bowls anyway.

    Even though Michael had to leave shortly after we made our entrance, he left us in the very capable hands of his niece Farrell, who was our maitre d’ for the evening. She was obviously a chip off the old block. I’ve been around for more than 60 years, yet I don’t think I’ve ever met a kinder sweeter more thoughtful young woman. We were also very appreciative of how, without any prompting from us, she zeroed in on my wife’s 91 year old mother and personally tended to her needs and comfort for the evening. All of the staff were very attentive to our guests needs. Even though Michael was not there at the end of the event, he still managed to get in touch with us via a call later that evening, which I thought was very classy on his part.

    All in all, it was a lovely event, and by all accounts, everyone had a good time. The time went a lot quicker than we expected, and before too long it was time to bid everyone farewell, and go back home.

    A few days later we returned to the Birchwood to gather things we had left behind. By the time we got there, Michael and Farrell both met us in the lobby, and had already packed our things in cartons for us. First they helped load the car for us, then we stood there chatting for about a half hour. Suddenly Michael rushed inside and came back out with a bottle of champagne which he tucked into the trunk of our car before closing it. Is that classy or what? Finally there was a round of hugs and handshakes, then off we went. Somehow I think we also made a couple new friends that day. In any event, pleasant memories were created that will last a lifetime, and should we ever again find ourselves in need of a banquet facility in this area, The Birchwood Manor gets the job! It is truly a North Jersey treasure.

    Dream Team Wedding Venue

    My husband and I had our wedding here in the Jefferson Ballroom in August of this year. I cannot say enough great things about this venue and their service provided to us leading up to and on the day of our wedding. The food was delicious and the bartenders were awesome at both the cocktail hour and the reception. The grounds were beautifully maintained with fountains and seating and our guests really loved spending time outside during cocktail hour socializing and taking pictures. The cocktail hour room with the greenhouse attached was so elegant and we loved the classical style of our ballroom. We received so many complements following the wedding about what an amazing time our guests had.
    We were blessed to have Michael and Farrell from the Birchwood throughout this process; they truly made the planning of our wedding effortless and were so accommodating during the difficult times of COVID, as we had to postpone our wedding for an entire year. We highly recommend that you consider this venue for your wedding and other events. Thank you again Michael and Farrell for making our wedding day so special!

    Wonderful and Easy Experience

    My wife and I were fortunate enough to have hosted our rehearsal dinner at the Birchwood Manor. From the very beginning we knew we had made a great choice. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful throughout the party and the planning. Farrell is the banquet manager and was our point of contact. She was wonderful to work with and made the whole process so easy. Even up to the day before she was still working with us and moving tables around to accommodate our last minute cancelations. Her alone and how easy she made everything is reason enough to have it there. The staff also made sure that every drink and alcohol we wanted would be provided and gave us many choices to accommodate people with dietary restrictions. The night turned out amazing and my wife and I couldn't be happier.

    Celebrated our 25th Anniversary at the same venue we got married!

    25 years ago we got married at Birchwood Manor because it was the most beautiful venue of its time. We had 600 guests and it was one of the first Indian weddings to take place at Birchwood. So when it came time to celebrate our 25th Anniversary, it was important to relive those special memories. We brought back all our guests along with the same vendors from our wedding. It was a wonderful and magical reunion. All thanks go to the 3 generations of family ownership at Birchwood. They took magnificent care of us back then, and they did it again now!

    A Hidden Gem Lying In The Heart Of Morris County

    Words cannot begin to describe just how completely wonderful this family owned establishment is to host your next event! The Birchwood Manor is a hidden gem lying within the heart of Morris County. Michel Marino III and his niece Farrell are truly exceptional treasures within the event planning industry that go above and beyond to ensure that no request or detail is too great to bring to life, holding true to the beliefs of the Birchwood Manor; that events should be legendary. Michael Marino III and his staff not only made my wedding day legendary but more importantly they made my dream of an elegant Christmas wedding come true and provided an unforgettable experience with memories that will last a lifetime. My parent’s chose the Birchwood Manor thirty years ago for their wedding reception too. They loved the grand entrance and elegant touches throughout. My husband-to-be and I immediately felt that same sophistication and that’s why we chose it for our own wedding. My husband and I hope that the Birchwood Manor will remain a tradition in our family and one day perhaps one of our children will also fall in love with the charm of this glorious estate! The Birchwood Manor will hold a special place in my family’s heart forever.

    Timeless elegance at it's finest

    We had the pleasure of getting married here!  There is not enough good things I could say about the space and the staff. We had an interfaith wedding in the large pergola and it was such a good choice. The pergola is a beautiful space on it's own but with the help of the staff, it was transformed into such an elegant and expansive space to fit my almost 200 guests to witness our marriage! So so lovely. And what a great backdrop for photos. If you are looking for a venue with incredible food, look no further. My guests were blown away by the expanse of delicious food with such an awesome presentation. We had the deluxe cocktail hour and they really delivered. If food is what you want to splurge on, do it here. Our reception was in the grand ballroom which is such a timeless and elegant space. Michael and Farrel did such an amazing job helping me transform the space with my decor. The thing that really blew me away was how the staff went so above and beyond to help the day beautiful and stress free as possible. They took time to do little details for me on my sweetheart table and even custom designed table numbers for me (which I forgot). They were so attentive and communicative during the reception it really made us feel special... like we were royalty! My guests were talking about the elegance of the whole day and the food for weeks after. Highly recommend this for any event but if you looking for an indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception, look no further.
