The best wedding day
We genuinely could not have gotten through our wedding day without the Grove at Briar Barn Inn and Julia. We showed up with a bunch of stuff to drop off and honestly no real plan, but Julia made it all come together seamlessly. From start to finish, her communication was timely and to the point, and she was always available to answer any questions- which made planning so much easier and less stressful!! The venue itself is beautiful and the food was incredible—nobody can stop talking about how wonderful it was! Julia went above and beyond to help us on the day, and everything we hoped for actually happened. It was 100% worth it and we can't recommend them enough.

The perfect venue. Don't look past Grove!
It's hard to put into words how happy we are to have been married at Grove. From our first tour the 5-star hospitality and service was abundantly clear. Every question we had was answered and we felt connected and taken care of by the staff from day 1. Our priorities for our wedding were 1) guest experience and 2) food and Grove exceeded every expectation. Our guests felt comfortable, taken care of, and the convenience can't be beat. The all-in-one venue made our planning seamless and the perfect venue for our wedding. The food was absolutely outstanding, no typical wedding catering here! Everything was delicious. Our guests were so full they were on the dance floor all night long to dance it off! Above all, the hospitality is something we'll never forget. Grove's staff is expert-level at hosting events with no stone left unturned. We didn't feel an ounce of stress or nerves on our wedding day because we knew Alli had taken care of everything and more. A special shout-out to the entire staff: Alli, our day-of-coordinator, as well as the team at Briar Barn including Billie-Sue, Kathleen, Kayla, and Dawn. And all the other staff who made it such an incredible weekend. If you are looking for an intimate venue your guests will rave about for years, look no further than Grove!

The Grove Rowley
Our experience with our wedding at The Grove was unforgettable and we can’t recommend it enough for other couples. The space is beautiful and cozy no matter what time of the year. We were looking for a place where there was a lot included and it would make planning the event stress-free for our April 2026 wedding. The Grove is a restaurant so the food and beverage is all there and our guests raved about how delicious the food was and the amazing staff. We highly recommend choosing the beef short rib for an entrée. Julia was our day-of coordinator and she made the experience so easy for us and she was a joy to work with. Having her to help us plan our day and be there at the day of event was the highlight of our experience.

The best wedding thanks to Alli!
We had the pleasure of working with our wedding coordinator, Allison Delano, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From our very first conversation, she was organized and genuinely invested in making our day special. Throughout the planning process, she kept everything on track, communicated clearly, and created a smooth experience for us, especially working with our families who had a million questions. Everything came together beautifully, and it was everything we had hoped for. We’re so grateful for all Allison’s hard work and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about bringing your vision to life.

Highly recommend
From our first conversation with Grove at Briar Barn Inn, we knew we had found the right venue. Their team responded quickly to every question and truly listened to what we wanted for our wedding day. Jaenine, our day-of coordinator, was incredibly attentive and helped us bring our vision to life without a hitch. The venue itself is stunning with impeccable attention to detail in every corner. We didn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day because everything was executed so well. We highly recommend Grove at Briar Barn Inn to any couple looking for a venue that cares as much about your special day as you do.
