The Birkby House will delight you with a beautiful setting for your wedding day. Our one-event-a-day policy for your wedding ceremony, reception and festivities, will ensure that you and your guests enjoy a carefree day in gracious surroundings. Everyone can look forward to a delightful, leisurely day while splendid memories will linger for a lifetime. You and your guests are free to wander through lovely gardens that display seasonal color, and for your reception, assemble under the tent in a tranquil setting where up to 150 guests may gather for lunch or dinner followed by dancing. Smaller receptions may be held inside the Birkby House, where up to 50 guests can enjoy a seated dinner.

For the ceremony, the bride and groom may choose to gather their guests in front of the historic Carriage House, in front of the gazebo or in a specially designated area of the gardens.

For wedding day preparations, we offer private dressing areas on the second floor of the residence for the bride and for the groom. The bride and bridesmaids will have exclusive use of the Bride's Salon and Powder Room, while the groom and groomsmen will enjoy similar accommodations in the Gentlemen's Lounge.

The bright and cheerful bride’s salon, with its full-length mirror and private porch overlooking the terrace and gardens, is simply charming. Beautifully decorated with exquisite artwork, it connects with a bathroom that features seating, a wall of mirrors, a dress-length closet, steamer, and refrigerator.

The groom’s lounge, at the opposite end of the second floor, also features a refrigerator, comfortable seating and a full-length mirror and adjoins a convenient bathroom. This room connects with a boardroom where ushers or family members may wish to assemble.

Second floor porches serve as inviting gathering places. They have a wonderful view of the gardens and are perfect for photos and for the bride to toss her bouquet.

In the winter, weddings with 50 or fewer guests can plan for their dinner to be in the main house with the ceremony in the upper level of the Carriage House or in the Parlors which can accommodate 24 as a chapel. A heated tent can be installed on the back terrace for dancing.
