We just had our wedding at Briar Barn Inn on October 20th and the compliments about our venue have been endless! The best food I have ever had at a wedding, I was so lucky it was mine! Filet mignon was melt in your mouth and they were able to customize my little brothers meal who is extremely picky. My Wedding Coordinator Julia went above and beyond to help us with every little detail. We even had a meal be delivered to the Inn itself since a guest could not attend! Comfortable and cozy atmosphere, I barely lifted a finger on my special day. I would recommend Briar Barn to anyone and everyone.
