Grove at Briar Barn Inn

planning process.  The day of she felt like a grounding presence we could rely on. The space itself feels like home, which set the perfect tone for our celebration, and the onsite accommodations gave our guests an extended experience rather than just a single day event. The cottage for getting ready was absolutely perfect, with every detail thought through. What impressed us most was their genuine attention to detail throughout, nothing was overlooked. We can't recommend Grove at Briar Barn Inn highly enough for couples looking for a venue that truly cares about making their day perfect.

would be special and was a top priority. I loved having the Inn attached to the venue for out of state guests. All of our guests at the wedding complimented the food and the beauty of the venue. Everything about the Inn and Grove is cozy, romantic and charming. I especially loved the lighting, fireplaces and holiday decor. Thank you for a beautiful wedding!!! 

month later, from our guests about how great the food and drinks were. Our wedding coordinator, Alli, helped us a few weeks leading up to the day, making sure everything was taken care of. She was such a huge help on the day of the wedding, making sure we had nothing to worry about. I can't say enough about how much we appreciated her. Highly recommend booking the Grove for your wedding or event!

the little details. The food, service, and cookies were amazing - our guests were raving about it. The Inn was so perfect, and having it onsite worked out so well. We loved staying there with our families - it felt so special. Julia was amazing and so helpful each step of the way. We can’t recommend this venue enough!! 

dent in our choice throughout it all. We rented out the Inn for the night of our wedding for our guests to reserve all rooms and that was one of the best decisions we made! Our wedding day felt more private having only our guests on the grounds. Our wedding coordinator and Inn room block coordinator, as well as all the staff at the Inn and the Grove and on our wedding day were attentive, kind and assisted with whatever we needed! Our wedding felt so relaxed knowing everything was being taken care of how we wanted. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an intimate wedding with less than 100 guests! 

ch were chosen from a provided list of those familiar with the venue), she was also with us every step of the way on our wedding day to ensure everything went smoothly, and we couldn't have asked for anything better! The food and drinks were absolutely amazing as well! Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly, and our guests raved about it for weeks afterwards. Hats off to the chef and servers! We also utilized the rooms at the Briar Barn Inn (in the same location as the ceremony site/reception), which was an excellent option for our out of town guests. The rooms were super comfortable and spacious!

nsive and so helpful in making sure everything went smoothly the day of the wedding - even coordinating with our individual vendors. Our guests raved about the food and the venue. A wonderful time overall!

ent coordinator, Jordan Morrissey, who made the entire process feel effortless and personal. She provided helpful checklists and detailed timelines to ensure our day was seamless. Our wedding day itself exceeded all expectations. We felt so present because of Jordan's work behind the scenes. Her professionalism truly made the day even more special. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the space was and how delicious the food tasted, especially those with food allergies. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish!

nd at all because the indoor space is just as stunning. Alli, our day-of coordinator, was incredible. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to her. The food was delicious, and guests still talk about the cookies! As a same-sex couple, we felt totally comfortable and supported. Everyone was kind, professional, and great to work with. They know what they are doing at the Grove. Highly recommend!

ut show up and get married! It was the perfect day. I would highly recommend it. Having the hotel right next door made it easy for our guests and the space was beautiful. We heard great feedback on the food and drink too!

of their signature scent!) to the ceremony and reception space, everything feels like effortless elegance. We worked with Alli to coordinate our day and I can’t say enough good things about her! She was so organized, quick to respond to all of my emails, and able to make changes and last minute requests for me with a smile! On the day of she kept us moving so smoothly and helped to make our wedding day so special. She even packed up a huge take out box of the cookies at my husbands request, we were eating them all week!

, 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.

s leading up to the wedding day, but all of the planning (with Alli’s help) made the actual wedding day perfectly smooth. I was able to relax and enjoy my day from start to finish while Alli and her team made sure to execute all of our plans as we wished. She made sure to put us first, bringing drinks/apps first and checking in throughout the night. We had an amazing wedding at the Grove and had a very pleasant experience with Alli!

coordinator, Julia, was incredibly helpful, responsive and easy to work with. She did her best to accommodate all our asks & worked with us on last minute updates. The space was beautiful. I was a “hands-off” kind of bride where I gave Julia & her team a general idea of what I wanted with the decorations I brought but really left it up to them (outcome was better than I could’ve envisioned!) I had complete trust in the staff & Julia and truly didn’t have to worry about anything except going from one thing to the next! Would 100% recommend them!

he food was absolutely amazing, especially the cookies! We would highly recommend the Grove, as well as Briar Barn Inn for anyone looking to have a modern, yet rustic wedding!

, especially those that were able to stay at the inn too! It was an absolutely perfect day and I’d recommend this venue to anyone looking! Thank you to Jeannine and the rest of the staff at Grove for making our day so special!

y to feel intentional the Grove was perfect. Julia, our coordinator was so wonderful. She mad the process smooth, and on the day of as a bride, I couldn't have felt like things were in better hands. You know how everyone tells you that something will go wrong on the day of? Well, nothing went wrong for us! Our venue took care of everything, and no issues made their way to us. Having the venue on the same site as the hotel was truly so great for guests. Guests with mobility issues did not have to worry about transportation, and guests who had a little too much fun only had to stumble a few feet to their rooms. A few of our guests have even referred other couples to look at the Grove because of how great of an experience for everyone it was!

ve… and doesn’t miss a beat. She had everything taken care of and made the day seamless. Would definitely recommend!

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!

raved about how cozy and beautiful the venue was. Our coordinator Julia was incredibly thoughtful and kind, and took great care of all the logistics so we could focus on enjoying the moment. Our wedding was truly the perfect day due to Julia and the Grove team's hard work. We are looking forward to celebrating our anniversary there next year!

e best wedding food they've ever had! The staff, especially our coordinator Emily, were exceptionally helpful and made our day stress free! Throughout the planning process, Emily was very organized and was in constant communication with us leading up to the wedding day. Emily and the entire staff, including the Briar Barn Inn staff, made our wedding day very special! We would highly recommend this venue to any couple getting married!

ing to arrange from scratch. The Briar Barn Inn had rooms for ourselves/family/guests, The Grove (their restaurant) already had the chef+staff, and they have a team of on-site coordinators. From start to finish, the entire Briar Barn and Grove team showed professionalism and experience which manifested in how they worked with vendors, adjusted to the threat of rain, and responded to our queries. Particular thanks to Emily, our coordinator, who kept in close contact, and patiently walked us (and our wedding party) through the process. With her help, we felt confident through the whole day, knowing everything was under control. All the other staff at The Briar Barn and The Grove were also wonderful. The wait staff, bartenders, Inn attendants were all so kind to us and our guests, and seemed genuinely happy for us and really contributed to our special weekend. People aside, the facilities and amenities were really special and spectacular in their own quaint/rustic kind of way--we had numerous comments from our guests, especially ones who stayed on-site at the Inn, what a beautiful venue this was. Last but certainly not least, the food at The Grove was wonderful--appetizers, mains, and desserts. TL;DR--Spectacular venue thanks to the amazing staff who are kind and VERY experienced with weddings. Facilities/amenities are also wonderful. Grounds are picturesque. Food excellent.

d the ideal backdrop for our special day. Working with Julia was a delight—she was incredibly organized, attentive, and made sure every detail was just right. From the charming ceremony space to the delicious farm-to-table food and excellent service, everything exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Grove at the Briar Barn Inn for anyone looking for a memorable and seamless wedding experience.

ily as our wedding consultant and she did everything to make our day so wonderful. She answered all our questions leading up to the big day and then she decorated and organized everything perfectly. She is so organized and made the day amazing! We have had so many compliments from our guests. Everyone loved all the décor, drinks, and food. The appetizers, meals, and then their amazing signature chocolate chip cookies were delicious. We had a lot of out of town guests that stayed multiple nights at the inn and they were all thrilled with the accommodations! Our wedding at The Grove was absolutely beautiful and we cannot thank the staff enough for such great service! :) -Kaitlyn Regnier-

-of coordinator. From the moment we met Jeannine, we knew we were in good hands. Her attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine kindness made all the difference in ensuring our day was nothing short of perfect. Jeannine went above and beyond to take care of every detail, leaving no stone unturned. From the big picture plans to the smallest nuances, she flawlessly executed every aspect of our wedding. It was evident that she truly cared about making our day as special as possible. One of the things that impressed us the most was Jeannine's responsiveness and ability to ease our concerns. Despite only meeting her a month before the wedding, she quickly became an invaluable part of our planning process. Her prompt communication and willingness to address any worries or questions we had helped alleviate any pre-wedding jitters we may have had. On the day of our wedding, Jeannine was an absolute rockstar. She ensured that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the moment without a single worry on our minds. From coordinating with vendors to making sure our guests were well taken care of, Jeannine's attention to detail was unparalleled. Not only did Jeannine exceed our expectations as a coordinator, but she also went out of her way to be kind and helpful to our family and guests. Her warm demeanor and willingness to lend a helping hand did not go unnoticed, and we received countless compliments from our loved ones about how wonderful she was. While our wedding day at the Grove at Briar Barn Inn was nothing short of perfect thanks to Jeannine, our journey to get there was not without its challenges. Our planning process began almost a year and a half before the big day, but we didn't meet Jeannine until just six weeks prior to the wedding. Before her involvement, we encountered some bumps in the road with the event staff and managers at the venue. Before Jeannine came into the picture, navigating the planning process was not as straightforward as we had hoped. We ran into several roadblocks and found ourselves feeling a bit frustrated at times. One piece of advice we would offer to future couples considering this venue is to be cautious when reserving additional accessories and décor. Once these items are added to the contract, they cannot be removed, which can limit flexibility in the planning process. Additionally, we learned the hard way that if you do not secure a full inn room block (30 rooms), the inn may allow other wedding parties to book the remaining rooms without informing you. This lack of communication was disappointing and something we wish we had been aware of earlier in the planning process. We would like to also to acknowledge Chloe at the Inn. Her communication prior to the wedding and during the wedding weekend was always professional, kind and accommidating. Despite selecting the full bar option for our wedding, we occasionally felt as though we were being nickel and dimed for certain services or amenities. Our package included 2 signature dcocktails. When we decided to only have 1 signature cocktail that wasn't on their list we were charged an additional fee for the signature cocktail we wanted. Even after booking 24 rooms for our wedding weekend and hosting our rehearsal dinner at the Grove the evening prior to the ceremony and reception, we didn't always feel like our patronage was being fully appreciated. Furthermore, we noticed a significant amount of staff turnover from our initial booking meetings up until we met Jeannine. This inconsistency in personnel added an extra layer of stress to the planning process. However, once Jeannine stepped in, everything changed for the better. She was the saving grace of our entire event. Unlike our previous experiences, Jeannine never once said, "we can't do that" or "we won't do that." Her unwavering dedication, professionalism, and can-do attitude transformed our wedding planning experience into something truly special. In summary, while our journey with the Grove at Briar Barn Inn had its challenges, Jeannine's exceptional service and support ultimately made our wedding day a dream come true. We hope that by sharing our experiences, future couples will be better informed and able to navigate their own planning process with greater ease.

ered all of my questions (I had a lot). I was planning our wedding from across the country and I could not have done it without her. I was really impressed. The Briar Barn Inn team was also incredible. Billy Sue and her team also made my day so special and wonderful. I absolutely loved them! I cannot recommend this place more.

food, the service, the Inn. We had a wonderful time working with Emily and her team, they did so much to make our day special and have everything go off without a hitch. Their experience shows, and we very much felt we were in good hands every step of the way. Have your wedding here!!

ine! Filet mignon was melt in your mouth and they were able to customize my little brothers meal who is extremely picky. My Wedding Coordinator Julia went above and beyond to help us with every little detail. We even had a meal be delivered to the Inn itself since a guest could not attend! Comfortable and cozy atmosphere, I barely lifted a finger on my special day. I would recommend Briar Barn to anyone and everyone.

sure we had what we needed, to taking care of special requests, to really making sure we were not stressed out). We were planning to have the ceremony outdoors but the weather did not cooperate and it was such a easy transition and seamless decision to move the ceremony indoors. There was no glitch. The inside ceremony was even more beautiful and I'm so happy it worked out. We had the bridal suite at the Briar Barn Inn and my fiance/husband had the room at the Grove to get ready. So we were basically at the same location all day and we had some guests staying there as well. The ceremony and the reception were beautiful. The food was great, better than expected. We stayed at the Briar Barn Inn so the staff was able to pack up a lot of our decorations to be picked up the next day so we didn't have to worry about packing up everything ourselves. This was a huge bonus. We had an amazing day and again I am so happy we choose the Grove.
