We Heart Briar Barn

We got married at Briar Barn Inn on 6/4/22 and we're so happy we chose this venue. Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be. Emily, our wedding coordinator (through the venue) went above and beyond. She was so easy to work with and so on top of everything during the months leading up to our wedding. The day of our wedding, she paid attention to details we didn't even think of. She made sure everything looked great and went super smoothly. Our family and wedding party were even commenting on what a great job she did. Aside from Emily, Briar Barn is a beautiful venue and perfect if you want to have a more intimate wedding. The food was amazing and the servers were super attentive and accommodating. They have chocolate chip cookies that our guests are still talking about. We would choose Briar Barn Inn to have our wedding at over and over again and cant wait to go back for special occasions.

So glad we choose Grove at Briar Barn Inn



Our wedding at Grove was an absolute dream! The intimate setting was exactly what we envisioned, creating the perfect atmosphere for our special day. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the venue was and how incredible the food tasted—it just kept coming!

A huge shoutout to our coordinator, Jeannine, who was simply amazing. Every time she checked in to see if I needed anything, my answer was always “no” because the team had already taken care of everything before I even had to ask. The attention to detail was impeccable, and they handled all of our personal decor elements with such care.

It was truly the best day—better than we could have ever imagined. If you’re looking for a venue that offers a seamless experience, outstanding service, and a warm, intimate atmosphere, Grove is the place to be. We couldn’t be happier with our choice!

The Perfect Wedding

My wife and I got married in the cold month of January- and the Grove/ Briar Barn Inn made it perfect! We had been working with them for a year and a half leading up to the wedding, and always felt supported and reassured. Everything went so well, in part because they were incredibly helpful and flexible with setup and coordination. When inevitable small problems presented themselves at the last second, they were on it. They responded promptly to every worry or random question we had, no matter how ridiculous. Julia is a phenomenal coordinator (and person) who reduced all of our nerves and anxiety leading up to the perfect ceremony! Our guests, coming from all over the country in Massachusetts's roughest season, had nothing but great things to say about the food, lodging, and overall experience. If it is within your means, and you are someone who struggles with event planning and wants to have everything handled in one place, this venue is perfect for that. We really got to focus on ourselves, picking and choosing what traditions to keep and what to change. The Grove/Inn, being extremely kind and organized supported us in all of that and made the whole process significantly easier.

I also want to flag for other Queer couples that we felt very accepted and safe here. The venue never waivered in their mission to give us the best day of our lives, in the way that felt comfortable for us and inclusive of gender diversity.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
