April 2025 Wedding

The Grand Holland Estate was the first wedding venue we toured when we got engaged in 2023. It left quite the impression on us--the versatility of the space (so many location options), the weekend package, and most importantly Megan's kindness and desire to be helpful. We just knew we had to get married here!

The planning process was easy (or as easy as it can be to plan the biggest event of your life!) and a good portion of that ease came from Megan's responsiveness, willingness to listen to our ideas, and her excitement for our big day.

The food was AMAZING! We were blown away with the options and flexibility. Chef Beau did not disappoint! Our wedding day food (cooked for 135) was just as amazing as the food we had at our tasting (cooked for 3). When we asked if we could do a family style rehearsal dinner, he jumped at the opportunity and made our dreams a reality! It was such a special moment for us to enjoy a meal for the first time as one big family.

During our wedding weekend, we managed to use every space on the property. We loved that we were able to show our guest something new every time they came to the venue. Our rehearsal dinner was in the main house, welcome party was outside at the greek columns/outdoor spaces, ceremony at the grand entrance, cocktail hour outdoors (and in the main house during the rain), and our reception in the crystal pavilion. Our friends loved staying on site with us the night before--it made for a quick and easy getting ready transition the morning of our wedding.

The photos I've included are just a taste of the beautiful weekend we had at the Grand Holland. We can't recommend this venue enough--it helped us create the wedding weekend of our dreams! If you're not yet convinced to get married here, take a look at our wedding film :)

Gorgeous venue

Gorgeous venue with amazing staff. The place offers an all inclusive weekend stay. They provide breakfast, and brunch. The rooms are extraordinarily beautiful and even include saunas.

I couldn’t be happier with Megan and Jamie as they made sure our special day was a dream come true.

I would recommend this wedding venue to anyone. My wedding there was truly amazing. The food is fantastic as well. I have had so many compliments on my wedding. 5 stars across the board!

I cannot put into words how wonderful Kim and her staff are at the Ryan Nicholas Inn! Our entire experience was amazing, from our initial consult to the wedding and everything in between! Kim is with you every step of the way - from what vendors to use, to organizing the rehearsal dinner, to coordinating the wedding and reception. She gave my husband and I the wedding of our dreams! I would recommend her and the Inn to everyone I know!

Our daughter was married January 2 and we cannot express our gratitude to Kim and her staff at the Ryan Nicholas Inn. The venue was absolutely beautiful while the food was the best we've experienced. Being from out of town, Kim made the planning .enjoyable and stress free. Even in January, the grounds at the Inn were very inviting. Guest gathered outside on the heated porches and around the outdoor fireplace. We would recommend this venue for weddings, family gatherings, and business. A real hidden gem in the Greenville area.
Thanks Kim for making our daughter's dream wedding come true.

I cannot put into words how grateful I am to Kim for making my dream wedding a reality! Kim knows exactly what she is doing! I just got married this past Saturday, and my guest are still telling me how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly everything went. I even got married in January and it was still beautiful. Kim has plenty of heaters that people were able to sit outside and enjoy the fireplace and lights. If you want a magical venue, the Ryan Nicholas Inn is the perfect option. Kim does all the decorating and organizing, so all you have to worry about is the flowers, photographer, and cake. The food is absolutely delicious and probably the best part of the whole wedding. The best part is that Kim has all the food brought up to the honeymoon suite after the wedding so the bride and groom can actually eat! The honeymoon suite is absolute incredible and is one of a kind. It has the biggest bathtub I have ever seen and has a steam shower! The bride and bridesmaids get to get ready in the suite that makes the whole process so enjoyable. Kim even provides lunch and drinks for everyone while they are getting ready. Kim really goes out of her way to make sure you get everything you possibly want. She is easy to get in touch with and will txt or calls you back right away. She is also very honest and will not try to get every nickel and dime out of you. She really is an amazing wedding coordinator and the Ryan Nicholas Inn is hidden treasure in the Greenville area. My wedding was absolutely perfect and it is all because of Kim and the staff at the Ryan Nicholas Inn. I cannot wait to celebrate an anniversary there!

Fabulous, beautiful, amazing, and stress free are all adjectives I would use to describe my daughter Catherine’s wedding at the Ryan Nicholas Inn last May. I asked my daughter to tell me what adjectives she would use to describe her wedding, and her answer was a single word, “Perfect”. A wedding can’t be much better than that!

I have to admit her answer thrilled me because everyone wants to be a part of the “perfect wedding”. As the mother of the bride, I know that a huge part of the wedding being perfect was the Ryan Nicholas Inn itself and the work of the inn’s owner, Kim Becherer.

Kim is truly a professional in everything she does. She really wanted the wedding to be exactly like Catherine and Jordan wanted it. Kim recommended vendors that she knew would work well with them, and she was right about each of them.

We had the inn for the entire weekend, and we loved each of the bedrooms! They were so comfortable and staying there allowed us to watch the inn change from being set for the rehearsal dinner to being decorated for the wedding! What an awesome day it was!

The food at the wedding was delicious! So many of our friends said it was the best food they had ever eaten at a wedding.

Kim definitely knows how to have a wonderful event at her inn. Her caring touch was evident throughout the day and the event weekend. My family couldn’t be happier with our weekend at the Ryan Nicholas Inn.

We used the Ryan Nicholas inn for our wedding in May and LOVED IT! It was def. my dream wedding. Kim was amazing and had something if we didn't, had great ideas, and made the wedding move so smoothly. The venue is definitely the southern mansion with chandeliers type of wedding which was exactly what i was looking for. If you were thinking about getting married there i would call asap b/c they do stay booked up b/c everyone loves it!
