“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!”

“Went to On the Grind this morning after seeing a post about them having a coconut bagel. The ladies behind the counter are very nice and know each of their regular customers. I watched them greet many and knew exactly what they were going to order or already had a preorder waiting. I ordered the coconut bagels for my son and I. One with regular cream cheese and one with pineapple cream cheese and they did not disappoint!!! The coconut bagel with pineapple was delicious and not overly sweet and lots of toasted coconut. Highly recommend trying this little hidden gem!”

“Do you enjoy buttery pastry and jam? Would you like a sky-high cheddar biscuit, moist on the inside with a sweet little crunch on the outside? Could you use a crumble? Or a sea-salt-sprinkled chocolate chip cookie? We tasted love, butter, and fresh local ingredients in every bite of every treat from Source. If you have ever heard of Gloucester, you are close enough to plan a trip just for the baked goods. We did. We bought a box of goodies before hitting the beach, and we left the beach in time to buy more before heading home. So jealous of the Gloucester locals! I am still dreaming of the hand-pies.”

“Fun atmosphere. Good service and food”

“We stumbled upon Georgia’s Pizza. It was truly amazing!! We came back 2 days later for more !!”
