Venues & Event Spaces near Derry, NH

“I was going to wait for photos before writing a review, but i couldn't stand the thought of waiting! My husband and I had our wedding at Birchwood last night, and it exceeded our expectations by miles.We toured this venue back in November of 2021 and booked it before we were even engaged because we knew it was special. We've now been legally married since beginning of 2022, but all of the coordinators/staff at Birchwood made us feel just as special as if we were becoming newly weds. As soon as I arrived at the venue, Denise was SO accommodating and personable. She made everyone that was apart of our day feel extra special and heard, regardless of what was ever needed throughout the night. Once the ceremony was over, Denise and this sweet blonde girl (I wish SO badly i could remember her name) were SO attentive to my husband and I. Whenever our drink was empty, there they were with a new one. Whenever we needed water, there it was. Appetizers were offered frequently, and we were asked if anything was needed VERY often. We felt SO special and so loved by everyone there.Lastly, the food was absolutely incredible and we got nothing but great reviews from all of our guests. We chose the prime rib and Tuscana chicken as our main entrees, but even the stationed and passed appetizers were delicious. We had several no shows, and the staff packaged up ALL left over food and gave it to us.If anyone is on the fence about booking Birchwood for your wedding, just know that if you do, you will not regret it at all. It's hard to look past the high $ payments that need to be made, but once the day is finally here, there will be absolutely no regrets if you choose Birchwood!!”

“We had the best experience tonight. LaBelle hosted a Wonka wine pairing dinner. The food , ambience, and overall experience was amazing! We can’t wait for the next event. Highly recommend it.”

“Coming from a DJ who had the pleasure of working with the staff. A++ This venue respects the vendors who work as a team to make magical events happen. Thank you to Sean and his amazing team for the work they put in! I look forward to working with this amazing team again!”

“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.”

“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!!!”

“I might be partial but, My wife and I have a fantastic time each and every time we go. The service is awesome the staff is friendly and accommodating and always prompt and helpful.The parking can be tricky it's a small place and can be busy but the live music is just fantastic...you really need to check out the patio and backyard.... it's perfect”

“We had our rehearsal dinner in this space and everything was outstanding. On a weekend with plenty to stress over, the staff here made it super easy and worked well with catering. They provided a bar staff and pianist to play in the background. It was the perfect setting for a private event and we can't say enough great things about how it turned out.”

“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!”

“The room was a glow and you have the absolute best event staff potentially of all time, hands down. We look forward to hosting with you again in the spring time and hope we're able to feature you on the panel then. I've hosted events at some of the nicest venues in key cities across the country and your team outshines them all. Each have their own specialty and calm demeanor with a can-do and let's work through it together to get it done attitude. Well done on building the team and sharing them with people like us!! I look forward to the next opportunity to work with them!”

“Did not expect for my last minute bday reservation to be so good! I honestly thought that booking the public area for bday party was gonna be chaotic, not a lot of space, or be bumping with another party - none of these happened. We were greeted by our assistant of the day and got welcomed to a good size area just off the play area. It was perfect layout and so much room. It was very clean and food were good portions. Glad to found this place and would highly recommend for a kids party!”

“Very ?nice staff, rooms are nice but a little dated. Gentleman at the front desk quickly had the faulty shower head fixed in my room. Restaurant/grill has tasty food, as I ate dinner there four evenings and did not have any complaints. Located on a golf course so plenty of places to walk for exercise. Within 15 minutes drive of a few towns that had any type of store, restaurant or shopping complex you might need.”

“One of our favorite places to have dinner. The specials, short rib poutine and filet with stuffed lobster tail, were delicious. Our drinks were fantastic. It was a great night with family to ring in the new year.”

“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.”
