We were discussing what we wanted for our wedding and were immediately shut down and told by the manager he had not intention of hosting a "cheap wedding".

There is a bar area next to the reception area. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The balcony was a perfect spot for pictures, overlooking the grounds.

Dinner service was prompt and overall, everyone had a fantastic night celebrating the newlyweds.

*Full disclosure-I visited (twice) for a potential wedding venue only*…read more We met PJ at the Hartford Bridal Expo and he was awesome! He gave us so much info and wasn't rushing us away to talk to the other hundreds of people that were there. We told him we were looking for the Thursday before Good Friday, so most guests would already have a long weekend AND we could take advantage of the great Thursday off-peak pricing we've been seeing. PJ was so excited to hear this and started explaining all of the details of the fabulous Thursday packages they were offering at Birchwoods! This package included a cake, a photo booth, a DJ, AND A PHOTOGRAPHER, all for a reasonable price per person!!! After hearing this, we looked at pictures and immediately made an appointment to go visit the venue the following weekend. I was so impressed with the venue! The decorations are gorgeous, from the second you open the front door to the hallway to the bridal suite to the room you'd have your reception in, which happened to be set up for a wedding that was happening that evening. We also met Trish during our first visit, and she was also friendly and explaining any and everything we had questions or comments about. She was pointing out all of the decorations that are theirs, which are available for you to use for your big day to save money! PJ had told us at the expo that you can use whatever they have, from centerpieces, to table numbers to card boxes to the Mr. and Mrs. signs for the sweetheart table, all things available to you that you have to provide at many venues. Now, while we ultimately didn't choose this venue because we found another place where we could have our ceremony outside, rain or shine, Birchwoods ABSOLUTELY had my favorite bridal suite! This was the only one I saw with big gorgeous windows, which would've been great for pics while getting ready, as well as for natural light to come in while getting hair and makeup done! There was also a grooms suite in the basement, which most places don't have! So, they definitely had some great features that not many places had, and it's a place you should check out if you're looking for a venue with a lot of great features, and a reasonable price! Omg, I forgot to mention something else I loved! The ladies room! Bizarre, right? But this is the only place I saw that didn't have those tiny little stalls where you practically have to straddle the toilet for the door to swing in so you can close and lock it. I swear, between the ladies room and bridal suite I was a huge fan! Those were two things they had that beat the others, hands down!

I walked over here to the Blake to check things out... and it is so beautiful and modern! The rooms look amazing and spacious, and they have a stylish bar open for dinner.

Sign me up! They are booked up for tonight, but I made a reservation to switch for the rest of my visit. I'm super excited to move over here and will update later.

Nick Shope and his team catered my wedding last May, and I could not have asked for a better…read morewedding dinner. From our free tasting, when we sat down and were presented with a table full of delicious hors d'oeuvres and mains, we knew his company had the cooking chops. Within ten minutes of talking to him, we also knew he had the experience to pull it off. His prices were the real clincher--I dare you to find a better priced wedding caterer in CT. Trust me, I tried. He offers one flat rate for everything, with service and almost every rental item I needed included. He also offered an open bar package that defies reason. With such a reasonable price for a caterer, my parents were worried it would be a disaster, but they were eating their words later. We had an over-the-top delicious cocktail hour and a beautiful buffet dinner with the best wedding food we've ever had. There is nothing his team cannot do. I wanted an Asian-inspired salmon. They gave me a moist, grilled, glazed salmon that I still think about. I wanted a white vegetable lasagna for my vegetarian friends. They gave me a decadent lasagna. I asked for cocktail shrimp. For a small fee, they brought out platters and platters of the most enormous cocktail shrimp I've ever seen. I've gotten so many compliments on the food after the wedding. Even the two most discerning and honest food critics in my life, my mom and my mother-in-law, had only glowing things to say. The whole night ran smoothly, as Nick's team tirelessly worked behind the scenes in a tight kitchen space to ensure my guests had everything they needed at the exact time they needed it. His waitstaff were efficient and professional. His bartender won over our friends with his awesome sense of humor. At the end of the night, they packed up a box full of leftovers that we took to our Airbnb, and we finally got to eat our amazing dinner. Those leftovers lasted us another week after the wedding, and I was so sad to eat the last bit, knowing we'd never get to eat our wedding food again. This review is getting overly long, but my point is, DO hire them for your wedding or any other event. You won't regret it.

I had a very disappointing experience with Stevie D Entertainment. I booked them months in advance…read morefor my daughter's first birthday party and paid in full. On the day of the event, just three hours before the party was scheduled to begin, I received a call stating that the tables, chairs, and tents I had rented would not be delivered because they were supposedly stuck in Brooklyn. While Steve did arrive with the water slide at the designated time, the majority of the rental items I paid for never arrived. This left me scrambling at the last minute to find replacement tables, chairs, and tents for my guests. To make matters worse, despite being told I would receive a refund for the undelivered items, I have still not received it, and my attempts to communicate have gone unanswered. During my search for replacement rentals, several other companies mentioned that they had heard of similar issues involving this company. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Stevie D Entertainment. Reliable communication, honoring commitments, and timely refunds are essential when providing services for important events, and unfortunately, my experience fell far short of those expectations.

We have a large open barn, so we asked if they had something else available since they have indoor bounce houses on their website. They did not have anything available, which is fine, but what wasn't fine is that they refused to reimburse our deposit. They said it was non-refundable but could be used for a new rental, good for a year. We had the party as scheduled, and we have no use for another bounce house in the next year. We again asked for our deposit back. They again refused. I would warn against using them for anything outdoors since it just might rain in Connecticut.

There was plenty of room for the tables and chairs they provided. The hall is already wired for your DJ of choice to use the house sound system from a balcony area that overlooks the space.

The price was very reasonable for this large rental space. My only warning would be to make note of the late night sound restrictions if you're going to use a DJ and play music throughout your event. Enjoy yourself!!!
