From the moment we stepped foot on the property we knew we landed on somewhere special. It was a no-brainer to pick Birchwood Manor as our wedding venue not only because of the beautiful grounds but how outstanding Farrell is. We had investigated about 10 venues but Birchwood Manor stood apart from them all. After having our wedding we can say how we made the right choice. All of the wedding party was comfortable and able to get ready on site. We were stress free to whole day. Farrell executed our plans every step of the way. She accommodated the entire Manor for us to use the entire day. The food ...and especially our wedding cake was out of this world. Our guests enjoyed our special day as much as we did. We are so very thankful to Farrell and how amazing everything turned out and so happy we chose this venue. To any bride out there I highly recommend this venue.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we toured The Madison, we knew we wanted to get married here. Aesthetically, it is perfection. We had our ceremony in the Conservatory & reception in the Grand Ballroom. Despite mixed reviews regarding communication from past brides, we were not displeased. We were not a couple who needed constant communication with the venue, which fit the standard for The Madison. The only reason we gave 4 stars, there was some turn over throughout our planning process & some replacements were better than others. I started out without concerns for the hotel blocks, but towards the final day I had some concerns & felt I was getting hard stopped quite a lot(for questions & requests that were not far fetched). However, the rooms were perfect & the staff at the counter was AMAZING. We did have a day of coordinator who helped make our vision come to life, however Charles, Maitre’d, was beyond helpful & communicative throughout the whole day! The staff were attentive, the transitions throughout the day were seamless. The guests raved about the cocktail hour & especially the dessert selection. Looking back on pictures & thinking about our day, The Madison was beyond perfect & I would do it all over again if I could.
