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.

The Perfect Wedding
My wife and I got married at Grove on March 14th, 2026, and we cannot emphasize any more how perfect the evening was. We sat down for a long time trying to envision our perfect wedding, and became selective when it came to venues. When we came across Grove, it checked all of the boxes prior to the wedding, and still managed to exceed our expectations. This venue is perfect for any intimate vibe. We wanted to have it be a romantic setting with lots of candles, and the glow of the room was immaculate. It was awesome overhearing guests reflect the same awe of the space, and many directly came up to us and said how amazing this space looked. My wife and I spent a lot of time making the decorations, but what truly made everything pop was the space itself. You could have zero decorations and guests would still feel the intimate feeling that Grove naturally emits. And for the decorations we provided, the staff arranged them in a perfect, seamless way. Julia D'Agostino was our wedding coordinator. We met her during the food tasting (unreal by the way) and we were instantly drawn to her. When we found out she would be the coordinator, we knew we were in good hands. Julia worked around the clock to ensure we had the most perfect day possible. She was always available to reach via email and gave us gentle reminders to ensure our day was perfect. She was cheerful during the entire process, and handled our most stressful moments with a great sense of calm We had a few anxious moments leading up to and during the evening, and Julia stepped right in to help without even asking, and we greatly appreciated that. The food was an incredible highlight as well. Guests literally interrupted my wife and I to compliment how awesome the food was AND how they felt fully fed. The classic chocolate chip cookies and the espresso martini tower were absolute crowd pleasers! I also cannot recommend enough staying at the Briar Barn Inn, which is a 10 second walk away from the venue. I had well-traveled people say that the rooms there were the best they have ever been to, and I could not agree more. One final point that wraps up everything wonderfully: My grandmother is 85 years old and after the wedding she sent us a letter stating that our wedding was the most intimate, personal wedding she has ever been to. Reading this meant the world to me, and I know for a fact that a major reason why she felt this way was because of the look of the space, the kindness of the staff, and the magic that this venue exudes. We are so grateful we chose Grove, and we would recommend it wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a venue that feels beautiful, personal, intimate, and truly special.

10/10 - AMAZING!
From start to finish, the team at Grove at Briar Barn Inn made planning our wedding feel effortless. Alli was incredibly responsive to every question and brought such warmth to our 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.
