A Day to Remember
Charming Spring Wedding at The Grove
On May 23, 2025, M & J celebrated their love with a beautiful wedding at The Grove at Briar Barn Inn.
Nestled in the picturesque town of Rowley, Massachusetts, this venue offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern elegance.
The lush surroundings and serene ambiance make it an ideal location for couples seeking a romantic and intimate setting for their special day.
Ceremony Highlights
A Love-Filled Ceremony with a Rain Plan Win
The forecast called for rain, but the stars aligned just long enough for M & J to enjoy the outdoor ceremony they had dreamed of.
Nestled beneath mature trees and framed by the venue’s lush landscaping, their ceremony felt intimate, romantic, and serene. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows under the canopy of nature, creating a memorable moment that was both intimate and grand. Right after, guests were guided inside to the barn’s cocktail space, where the ambiance remained just as magical.

A Cozy Retreat
Indoor Cocktail Hour
Following the heartfelt ceremony, guests were welcomed into a warm and inviting indoor space. The cocktail hour was a delightful blend of comfort and elegance, with ambient lighting and soft music setting the perfect tone. Guests mingled and enjoyed a selection of gourmet hors d’oeuvres and signature cocktails, all while surrounded by the charming decor that echoed the day’s romantic theme.
As the rain gently tapped against the windows, the indoor cocktail hour became a cozy haven for guests. The intimate setting allowed for meaningful conversations and laughter, creating a seamless transition from the outdoor ceremony. The atmosphere was enhanced by the soft glow of candles and the subtle fragrance of fresh florals, making it a truly memorable experience for all.
The indoor space provided comfort while maintaining a warm and elegant vibe, proving why The Grove is one of our favorite North Shore venues.
