“From the moment we started the wedding booking process with Grove at Briar Barn Inn, we knew we were in excellent hands. The wedding planning staff was incredibly responsive, professional, and thorough—every question we had, big or small, was answered with care and detail. Especially our event coordinator, Jordan Morrissey, who made the entire experience feel personal and seamless.

Throughout the planning process, the Events Team provided us with so many helpful tools and resources that made organizing everything so much easier. From timelines and checklists to vendor recommendations, we felt completely supported and empowered to plan our dream wedding.

The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. Jordan was outstanding—calm, attentive, and reassuring. She handled every detail behind the scenes, which allowed us to fully enjoy the day without a single worry. Her presence brought a wonderful sense of peace and joy to the entire experience.

Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and well-run everything was. We received so many compliments about the gorgeous venue, the flawless execution, the warm atmosphere, and the AMAZING food. Many people told us it was one of the most memorable weddings they’ve ever attended.

We are endlessly grateful to Jordan and the entire team at Grove at Briar Barn Inn for making our wedding day so magical. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!“

“Not sure what the experience the other reviewers here had but we had an unbelievably amazing experience! The views were out of this world- nowhere else in Beverly can say the same. Our server Carolyn was absolutely amazing- she was so diligent with the allergies at our table and took the time to recommend things that would fit all of our needs. We will definitely be back and would always request her. Food was amazing, huge portions, flavorful, and came out so quickly! A must in the area!

“very nice food beautiful restaurant“

“I was just there tonight which is Boxing Day 2022. I am giving black cow a a 3 because I was shocked at the prices. We had 1 sushi roll,1 shrimp app and 3 drinks ..90 bucks. (Don’t forget a Jim bean rocks with 1 good cherry 14 dollars) and about 1 1/2 fingers of amaretto straight)for 11 dollars) You’re better off spending your money somewhere else.. honestly. I’m a chef and understand rising costs however this is crazy however the service was pretty solid.“

“First of all this place is inside of a Plaza. I didn't know that before I got there but I do now. They have a very nice bar that seems to be pretty long accommodate plenty of guests. There is also lots of seating inside. I had the clam chowder and a pulled pork sandwich. The clam chowder was excellent. One of the better ones in the area for sure. Seemed to me like it was possibly homemade. The pulled pork sandwich was big and stuffed. I'll eat it twice. The fries that came with this were cooked to perfection. And they were good hand shaved fries. Are the people that my table had steak, Burger, chicken, and everything was delicious. This is a good place to take a client for an afternoon meal. It's also away from a lot of the hustle and bustle of Danvers. Just a good place to go and a good overall experience.“

“Excellent dinner choice. We had a rib eye, a salmon, a haddock, and a scallop dinner. Everything was excellent, cannot wait to go back. 2 people in our party had birthdays, and and we're given $10 gift cards they could use toward dessert or use at a later date. Highly recommend!“
