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.

Dream Wedding with Grove at Briar barn Inn!

I cannot put into words how much we loved our wedding with Grove at Briar Barn Inn. We were so impressed with EVERYTHING the venue and inn had to offer throughout our entire planning and wedding day experience.

We got married on 12.31.23 - New Year's Eve! Both Grove and Briar Barn Inn were beautifully decorated for the holidays - our guests described it as magical and like a Hallmark Movie! I highly recommend booking out the entire inn (if your guest count allows for this), because it was so convenient to have every room filled with our favorite people. Our guests loved and appreciated the convenience of staying onsite. The rooms were so nice, too. Overall, the venue fulfilled my dream of a charming, elegant, cozy, barn wedding.

Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and drinks after our wedding. The bartenders brought our specialty cocktails to life and the dinner selections were unreal. 11/10!

Alyssa Tamlyn-Hayden (our assigned wedding coordinator) was so great! She was so incredibly helpful, answering all of our questions promptly and being the most helpful human ever on the actual wedding day. She was quick with guidance and recommendations. We felt so well taken care of on our special day. Thank you, Alyssa!!

I could go on and on about Grove at Briar Barn Inn, but just know, I wouldn't have wished my wedding were anywhere else! Thank you everyone involved! - Jackie & Matt

The venue was perfect and all the people we worked with there were beyond pleasant. They make the entire experience much easier! Jeannine was our wedding coordinator. I could not talk more highly about her and how incredible she was! She made everything so perfect.
