  • Perfect Intimate Venue

    We got married at Grove in April 2025 and had an incredible experience. It was the first venue we toured and after looking at many other venues, we ended up coming back to Grove and are so happy we did. We had 100 guests and it felt like the perfect size venue - intimate without feeling over crowded. The dance floor was the perfect size to make it feel packed all night and the cocktail hour room provided an alternative space for those who wanted to chat. Being able to stay onsite made our wedding weekend much more relaxed and the suite was beautiful with the most comfortable bed ever. Julia, our coordinator, was super helpful, attentive and had a calm, easy going presence from the first time we met with her. The entire team at Grove and Briar Barn Inn were extremely responsive to our questions throughout the process. There were so many thoughtful touches and we felt super taken care of. We were so happy with the whole experience and would highly recommend Briar Barn and Grove!

    We were so happy with our wedding reception held at the Grove at Briar Barn Inn. Our wedding coordinator, Ali, was a pleasure to work with - she was professional, incredibly responsive 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!

  • Great place to get married!

    We had our wedding at The Grove and couldn’t be happier. The venue is beautiful cozy barn vibes with tons of natural light and charm. It rained on our wedding day, but we didn’t mind 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!

    We used Grove at Briar Barn for our wedding, and it couldn't have been a better AND easier experience. Everything was streamlined for us, and our coordinator Allison was thoughtful and communicative. They were flexible, but also let us know what was realistic (especially with weather related things the day of the wedding). They also highly recommended by vendors we worked with. Highly recommend
