Venues & Event Spaces near Derry, NH

“I found Birch Wood Vineyards while looking for venues on the Knot. They were my first tour and I knew they were the right fit for us right away. From the beginning our experience was nothing but positive. We were able to tour very quickly, and put the deposit down not too long after. The food tasting was an incredible experience, and their system makes it so easy for seating charts and to space out the payments. Whenever I had questions they responded in a very timely manner via email. The entire staff is kind and their attention to detail is unmatched. Denise was incredible to work with. We had planned to have our ceremony outside, but it rained on the day of our wedding so we had to move it inside. The entire team worked so hard because we had up until an hour before the ceremony to switch it to inside and so many guests told me they didn't even know it was supposed to be outside because of how well the inside was decorated and the seamless transition. Denise kept us on time with the photographer throughout the day as well and was there every time I turned and had a question or even when I needed something as small as a napkin. I wanted to be part of the cocktail hour and Denise made that possible with our delay with making sure we got all of our shots with the photographer. Denise and the team made my vision come to life with my décor set up and made it so easy to pick up everything the next day. I am so happy we went with Birch Wood Vineyards as our venue! We truly could not have asked for a more perfect day.”

“I attended an event at Castleton over the weekend. The venue is stunning and it had so much to offer. Below are some things to think about if you are hosting an event here.Recommendations:GET MARRIED AT SUNSET! (you will not regret these photos.)Apps and display trays were all DELICIOUSWorked:* Wedding coordinator was on point* flow is cool (ceremony outside, cocktail hour in main building, reception area to follow.* If there is an event on the other side of your event you cannot hear it, sound proofing is done well.* Bartender quick, nice and efficient.* overall experience wonderful.* Outdoor fire places are AMAZING!* staff was quick, attentive and supportive.Didn't Work:* There is a room for the groomsman and brides maids to get dress, have space during the wedding. The bridal area is very small depending on the size of your bridal party (just something to think about).* The ATM was out of cash at the start of our event and remained that way throughout the night* Some of our time outside seemed to interlock with another families time outside.* Because another event was on the other side of ours at times there were stragglers over at our event one in which whom completely undressed in our bathroom. (Not the venues issue but something to keep in mind.) We luckily had an adult only event.”

“The venue in and of itself is jaw dropping beautiful, like something dropped out of a fairytale! The ceremony space is so beautiful, and the bridal suites are so amazing for photos and just to enjoy before the ceremony. Then to make it more magical you have the amazing food, attentive and welcoming coordinators who made my vision come to life, and a beautiful set up in the tent. I could not recommend enough this Venue!”

“Amazing! Such a fun place for kids. I cannot wait to bring my family back! Only thing is I’d bring your own water if you don’t like Dasani or water from a fountain. That’s the only negative I have! Everything else was perfect!”

“I attended a recent wine pairing class and it was delightful! Both educational and delicious, this class was welcoming to all questions and so fun to participate in! I will definitely be back!!!”

“Bedford Event Center was the perfect place to host a surprise 40th birthday party for my husband. The staff was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the whole process. I highly recommend hosting your event here!”

“Attended a function in the banquet hall next door. A big bar centrally located to service all separate rooms. Buffet style food - multiple flavors of outstanding tenders, beef tips, grilled veggies, mashed potatoes, salad, ice cream, cookies, brownies. Excellent wait staff - not rushing you through the meal, asking before taking your plates. Oh, excellent mudslides!”

“Everything was great! First time here. The rented skates were a bit worn (laces/velcro). I've never rented before so I'm not sure how often they update their skates but other than that, we had a blast! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pricing was fair.”

“We had our daughter and son in laws baby shower here last weekend. The event space was perfect! The food was delicious and the waitstaff Xavier was attentive, professional and personable. Our guests commented that it was the best shower they had attended! Chloe the event coordinator did a wonderful job overseeing the planning of the shower. We appreciate all her help making this day stress free and such a fun day! From a happy gramma to be!”
