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.

Go with Grove!

Planning and having our June 7th wedding at Grove was a joy from start to finish. Everything was superb, from the accommodations at Briar Barn to the top-tier food (so many of our guests said it was the best filet they’ve had!). But, far and away the best thing about the place was the people. Grove was last on our list of venues to visit and we knew we wanted to have our wedding there 5 minutes into our tour with Ali. Ali was warm, knowledgeable, and easily painted a picture of what our wedding day could look like on site at Grove and Brian Barn. She made checking off our monthly planning to-do’s a breeze and answered every question we had within a few hours of emailing - even questions about vendors and my dress which she did not have to help with but did so graciously. Once we got closer to the wedding, we began working with Julia as our day-of coordinator and were delighted and relieved after our first meeting that she had absolutely everything under control leading up to the day. Julia made it easy to make our final selections and plans, and when we arrived on site the day before the wedding she was there to greet us and immediately helped work out a few last minute logistics. We arranged our own flowers the day before the wedding, and Julia jumped right in to help arrange some leftover flowers into stunning side table flourishes. We truly did not have to worry about a single thing on the day of our wedding thanks to Julia - she was one step ahead of us at all times but never rushed or tense. Her calm, kind demeanor was invaluable. I don’t think we would have eaten a bite of the appetizers if she hadn’t thought to prepare the wedding party our own little platter to enjoy off to the side before joining our guests at happy hour. I didn’t know how vital a great coordinator would be, but I genuinely wish every couple could have a Julia by their side through their wedding day! I could go on for pages, but if you’re looking for a venue with staff who will support your every need through every step, Grove is your venue!
