Both indoor and outdoor venues offer advantages when graduation season begins!  As long as the focus in placed on a fun theme, delicious menu, and personalized touches, it’s bound to be a memorable event.  From beautiful scenery to appetizing food, Birch Hill offers the perfect setting for graduation celebrations in Albany!

Unique Graduation Venue Options

At Birch Hill, we offer indoor and outdoor venue options.  If the theme of the celebration aligns with a more formal tone, our banquets offer exactly what is needed.  With podiums, screens, projector and microphones, every speech and presentation will be professional while also bright and fun!  It’s the perfect way to hand out end-of-the-year awards and other recognitions.  We can even coordinate the linens to incorporate the school’s colors!

However, if the graduation party is focusing more on purely having fun and is more of a party, we also have outdoor pavilions available.  They offer a more laid-back atmosphere so graduates can unwind and play horseshoe on our on-site pits.  They can even play volleyball here!  Make the most of what Albany has to offer by hosting a graduation celebration that future graduates will hear about!  It will make them excited to experience it for themselves one day!

Prom

The night that students have heard about for their entire educational careers is here!  After years of anticipation, it’s only right to host a prom experience that students will never forget.  Not every graduating class is the same but they do all deserve unique celebrations that emphasize how their hard work has paid off.

A Birch Hill event coordinator will ensure that students will celebrate prom in a way that is meaningful to them.  Whether a specific theme is used or students have voiced their creative ideas to personalize the experience, we want to help make their vision come true!

Extra Special Touches

Now that the venue has been sorted, other preparations can start!  This includes the invitations, decorations, menu planning, and other important details.  By paying attention to details such as these, the event will be enhanced and will be even more special for every guest.

Personalized Graduation Celebration Invitations

Personalized invitations add a subtle yet thoughtful touch to the event. The details should include all of the common information such as the date, time and location.

Before officially printing or sending the e-vites, speak to the event coordinator!  They may recommend including a special note about the theme, appropriate attire, and the venue, including directions, a map, etc.

Decorate The Venue

The decorations used in the venue should either tie into the spirit of graduating or the different theme that was selected, as mentioned above.  The goal should be to create a festive atmosphere that encourages fun!

One of Birch Hill’s professionals will guide you through planning the decor and all of the options that are made possible with thanks to their dedicated staff.

Menu Planning

The venue, decorations, and invitations are undoubtedly major considerations.  Although, to make any festive occasion a success, the food must be on point.  Regardless of the ages of the graduation celebration attendees, there should be a variety of food and drinks that cater to their tastes.

With how easy we make it to  , Birch Hill offers elaborate dishes that will please everyone at the event.  Regardless of the type of cuisine and the service style, we provide delicious meals that can be enjoyed by all.  As with any event, certain dietary and allergy restrictions should be discussed with the event planner so the proper options can be provided.

If there’s already a menu idea or a few dishes are known as the student’s favorites, we will be happy to create a custom menu for special occasion!  This would also be a good time to ask about the beverage options.  Every graduate should be able to raise a glass of something extra special to make a toast!  (With non-alcoholic drinks depending on the student’s age, of course)!

This link goes to their Social Menus page as a placeholder of sorts.  The wedding and corporate menus obviously are not appropriate to be linked.  IF they have a special menu specifically for graduations etc. or would like me to mention a few options they DO provide for these events, please let me know.  For now, I go on to say that custom menus are an option.

I found this on their website but want to make sure it is in fact 7 venues available that are open for graduation-themed events.
