Jackie C. Sent on 01/25/2024Dream 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 -

A fairytale venue 12/2/23
There is not one thing that I would have changed about having my wedding at The Grove! It was everything I imagined, and more! Where do I even start? The ambiance is absolutely breathtaking, it was so warm, inviting, and cozy! I knew from the start I wanted to have a barn wedding, but after looking at a few different venues nothing caught my eye. Well, all that was just meant to be because the second I saw The Grove I immediately knew that that was where I wanted to get married! It is stunning, charming, and intimate to say the least! We went for a tour, and after seeing the venue, the grounds, and the inn I was in awe! The booking process was very straight forward, and every staff member that we have met along the way has been so friendly and helpful! And I can’t forget to mention the absolute life saver that they provided us with, Planning Pod! We were able to make payments, create our floor plan, put in our guests’ meal choices, and so much more! The process really couldn’t have been any simpler! We decided to get married in December, which meant that The Grove and the grounds were beautifully decorated for Christmas! The garlands, the wreaths, and the thousands of lights just completely sealed the deal! It was an absolute fairytale! Julia was our assigned event coordinator and she was the sweetest! On our first meeting, she put my mind completely at ease and already had everything under control with the schedule of events and locations of where everyone needed to be at what time on the day of the wedding. She had no problems with any of our menu customizations or requests, and pretty much answered all of my questions before I could even ask them! She went above and beyond on the wedding day with making sure that we both had enough to eat and drink, that we had a piece of each flavor of our wedding cake to try, and even boxed up our food that we didn’t finish so we could enjoy it later! Speaking of food, it was delicious!! When I tell you that our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was, and all of the hors d'oeuvres that just kept coming out, no one went hungry that night! As another plus, it is so convenient to have Briar Barn Inn only steps away from The Grove, not only for us but also for our guests if they chose to stay since we live 2 hours away! We stayed 2 nights and I’m so glad we did! The rooms are beautiful and clean, the staff were so friendly and helpful with whatever we needed, and we cannot wait to go back next year to celebrate our anniversary! I could go on all day, but just know that you will not be disappointed with having your special day here at The Grove! It was so magical, I instantly missed it the second we left! -

We couldn't have asked for a better venue!
The Grove at Briar Barn was the most beautiful wedding venue we could have ever hoped for! Our guests raved about the food, the decor was adorable, and our even coordinator, Alyssa, was so helpful and kind! You can tell the team at Briar Barn have weddings down to a science! Their knowledge and skill at wedding planning truly helped make our day absolutely perfect! Everything worked splendidly, and we want to come back to Briar Barn again for events in the future! -

We held our wedding at the Grove this past fall. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The team there was extremely helpful in the planning and coordinating, and our assigned coordinator Julia was especially great.
The venue is gorgeous, inside and out. The food and drinks are all delicious. We also stayed at the Briar Barn Inn, which was a very comfortable and fun experience.
Overall I would definitely recommend the Grove and Briar Barn Inn if it fits your aesthetic and pricing -

The best ever!
We had our wedding at Grove/Briar Barn Inn 2 weeks ago and I can not say enough good things!! They gave us the wedding of our dreams. The entire team completely exceeded every expectation we had and made the wedding planning process seamless and easy. They thought of everything and held our hands the entire way. Julia, our coordinator, was OUTSTANDING. She was so organized and on top of every single detail. We fell in love with her!! She is a TRUE PRO. Billie Sue and the inn team made us and our guests feel right at home. I can't imagine anywhere on the North Shore handles weddings as well as this team. 10/10 incredible. -

To say that all my wedding dreams came true is an understatement. Grove at Briar Barn Inn was the first venue that my husband and I viewed in early 2022 and right from the jump we were amazed by just how right the space felt. We were able to view the entire venue, a few of the rooms in BBI, and establish a connection with the wonderful event team. As we decided to move forward with hosting our wedding at this beautiful venue, that connection remained intact. The whole event team was always available to answer any questions we had along the way and it truly made the experience feel so personal. My husband and I opted for blocking off the entire Inn for our guests. I cannot say enough about the wonderful staff at the BBI. Billie-Sue is an absolute delight to work with and made the process seamless. We cannot wait to go back and stay each year for our anniversary. Our event coordinator, Alyssa, was amazing. She went above and beyond to make our day flawless. She made the whole process so easy for us, making sure to keep everything organized leading up to the day. During the day off, she constantly checked-in with us to see if we needed anything, made sure that we ate, and always had drinks ready for us. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! Our guest raved about the food and how romantic the space felt. We could not be happier with how our day turned out. We were even blessed with the perfect amount of snowfall for that stunning winter wedding feel. I could go on forever and not recommend it enough. Have your wedding at Grove at BBI- you won't regret it! -

Diane S. Sent on 10/05/2023One of the best choices we've made for our wedding!
We got married at Briar Barn Inn on 9/2/23 and I cannot say enough about how amazing the venue was!
From the beginning, the venue tour with Jenna was personal, thorough, and personalized - she answered our many (!) questions and was more than happy to look into some very specific requests we had. Everyone on the team at Briar Barn Inn is just as lovely and capable, especially our coordinator Julia. Leading up to and on the day of, she worked seamlessly with our personal wedding planner to make sure that everything went according to plan. I honestly don't think that we would've had as good of an experience without her - everything seemed to be already thought of, and anything that we needed on the day was somehow already on its way to us!
Not to be forgotten is the catering - one of the draws of this venue was the on-site catering, which made everything so seamless. Both wedding parties were able to get getting-ready food on-site, and we didn't have to worry about finding outside caterers/bar service. The dinner was delicious and the staff were all so helpful. There were a few older guests that don't speak fluent English, but I was told afterward that everyone was very kind and answered all their questions.
The venue itself is absolutely beautiful - both the outdoor patio where we got married and the indoor reception area were everything we could've hoped for. It felt so intimate and romantic, and the natural greenery surrounding the venue made a perfect background. The getting-ready suite on site was a huge plus, and it's decorated perfectly for those pre-ceremony photos!
The Inn is also clean and comfortable - I would highly recommend staying in the Inn because being able to walk like 20 feet after the reception to our room was such a relief after a long day. Julia also packed up our decor and handed it off to the Inn's front desk so that we didn't have to worry about it until check out the next morning, which is just another example of how seamless everything at the Briar Barn Inn is.
Thank you so so so much to Julia and everyone else at Grove/Briar Barn Inn for our perfect day! -

Elizabeth Sent on 06/03/2023Amazing wedding venue!!
I cannot say enough good things about the Grove at Briar Barn Inn!! Some of the top things they have to offer outside of their beautiful venue is the Inn where you can block rooms for you and your guests to stay, the ample getting ready space (whether you choose to get ready in a suite at the inn or the bridal suite at the grove) the beautiful grounds allow for a beautiful backdrop for your outdoor ceremony and pictures and of course their AMAZING food options for your big day (their chef is amazing and the food is to die for!). I cannot forget to mention their warm chocolate chip cookies which is part of every wedding package and something they are known for!
Something that was important to me was having a wedding in a location that allowed for guests to stay close by and enjoy their stay and this venue allowed for all of that. To top it off, you are offered a day of coordinator to help organize everything and make your wedding dreams come true. We were lucky enough to be paired with Emily M. and she was AMAZING! She was always quick to respond to any emails I sent and put me at ease the day of the wedding. While I cannot speak on behalf of all the other coordinators, I can only imagine that they are just as professional, organized and as kind as her! My husband and I hope to visit the briar barn inn and grove yearly to celebrate our marriage and reflect on our most perfect wedding day! 🤍 -

Steven N. Sent on 06/17/2023Grove was absolutely perfect for our wedding
Despite the unpredictable and unfortunately rainy weather on our wedding day, our coordinator Emily was absolutely incredible. Grove was able to provide two set ups (one outdoor and one indoor) for our ceremony and gave us until the last minute to decide which to use. We decided to have the ceremony inside and everything was absolutely beautiful. We heard from multiple guests that if you didn't know the original plan was to be outside, you would assume the indoor ceremony was the plan all along. It was perfect and we can't thank everyone at Grove enough for making our day stress free and incredibly memorable. Oh, also the food at Grove is the best we have had at any wedding we have ever been to and all of our guests were very impressed. I can't express how happy we are with how everything turned out. -

We were married on 04/15/2023 at The Grove. To say it was magical would be an understatement. Our Day of Coordinator, Alyssa, was amazing and helped to ensure everything ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding for us. Also, they have the most amazing cookies (as we heard from all of our guests!!).
For anyone looking to book a venue, we cannot recommend The Grove more highly. -

The Grove hosted my husband and I on March 3 and it was the most perfect day. Julia was more than helpful for anything that we needed. We made changes that day and everything ran perfectly. People always tell you somethings may go wrong but I couldn’t be more grateful because my day was perfect, the grove is a rustic glamorous venue and I would highly recommend -

Our Valentines Day Wedding!
Let me just start with saying this wedding is still being talked about amount my family and friends as the best wedding they’ve ever been too. The atmosphere is casual but romantic, the food was a HUGE hit with my family! My new FIL worked his entire life as a chef and was floored by the meal and appetizers! Alyssa was our coordinator and really brought me the wedding of my dreams. The entire staff was so polite and worked hard. The bartender was AMAZING! The BEST part was after the wedding all my family and friends slept in the INN which absolutely blew everyone away. It was so clean and cozy, it was really a special touch for guests that were use to just grabbing whatever lodging they could for weddings without on site accommodations. My ONLY regret was not booking the brunch the next day, it looked absolutely amazing and highly recommend it if you want to add a little extra razzle dazzle! Thank you so much Briar Barn Team, I will tell everyone I know about this inn and restaurant and will make sure i make anniversary reservations there every year,WITH a reservation brunch!!!!!! -

What an incredible spot for our magical wedding day - I have lived in the North Shore all my life (57 years) and never knew this hidden gem THE GROVE existed. We came upon it accidentally and so thankful we did! The staff and food are exceptional!! The warmth of this spot will bring that extra special piece to your beautiful day! Big shout out to our Wedding Coordinator Julia D’Agostino for ensuring our day was perfect!! -

Max C. Sent on 10/27/2022Excellent Venue - Highly Recommend
We got married at Briar Barn in September, 2022 after booking the venue about 1.5 years prior. BB is the perfect venue for smaller weddings. The amount of contact we had with the BB team in the months leading up to the wedding was very helpful to answer numerous small questions and talk through logistics of the day. Our assigned planner, Alyssa was incredible both leading up to the wedding and day-of running the show, and made the day feel relatively effortless!
BB is perfect for couples who want to be able to control as many or as few of the details as they want, since you can hire your own vendors, bring decorations, bring dessert, etc. but they also have 2 options for where to hold the ceremony, many food and drink options, decorations to rent, etc. BB is a beautiful venue any time during the year, the staff are extremely professional, and your guests will love it. -

Working with Alyssa from Grove at Briar Barn Inn made our wedding venue process so much easier. She and her team were so accommodating and responsive to every request. If they could make it happen, they would! The whole day ran incredibly smoothly and I couldn't have been happier with our experience there from start to finish. We look forward to going back to celebrate anniversaries to come! -
