Amazing food, even better staff !!
Our wedding at The Ryland Inn was a dream come true! We had dinner here a few years ago and from that moment we knew we’d want to get married here. It’s everything we ever wanted from the beautiful grand ballroom with it’s amazing fireplace to the delicious farm to table food. Our coordinator was Lara and she was great and so helpful throughout the whole process. The rest of the Ryland Inn team was truly amazing! The day before the wedding, we went to drop off some items and Daniel (the maitre d’) was already prepping the space for our wedding. He talked us through the space and based on his recommendations, we were able to make some small tweaks to the layout which made us feel that much more special. On the day of, Daniel and the rest of the Ryland Inn team made sure the event was so smooth. So many of our guests were impressed by the waitstaff and their attentiveness! Billie, our bridal attendant, was AMAZING and surpassed our expectations! She was so helpful and would anticipate anything we needed before we even asked. Overall, our experience at the Ryland Inn was really great and we would highly recommend it!

My husband and I got married at Ryland Inn on September 8th, 2017. This venue is absolutely stunning!!! We knew from the moment we pulled up to this breathtaking location we’d be getting married here. What closed the deal for us was meeting their amazing coordinator Danielle. From the moment we met, we connected. She is so knowledgeable, passionate, kind and REAL. She made me feel as if I was the only bride she tended to throughout the 11 month process. We went through all the details from beginning to end. She was also very accommodating. I've had several events at numerous venues and Ryland is honestly number one in my book. Most places forget about you from the moment you give them a deposit to about 7 days before the event when the final count is due. However that is NOT the case with Ryland. Danielle was more than gracious. She would check in from time to time and always offer assistance and never once did she make me feel as if I was bothersome or being rushed. Mike, the bartender, is the absolute best. He wouldn't give up until he concocted a tasty and unique signature drink for our special day. So besides the staff being out of this world AH-mazing- the food is delicious. If you don't believe me swing by for dinner one night. The cuisine is fresh, flavorful, colorful and creative. Overall Ryland Inn truly makes getting married a seamless and wonderful experience. Their customer service is exceptional throughout the entire journey from start to finish. And when I say finish, I was honored to have Danielle hold my gown and wish me luck before I walked down the aisle to meet my husband. I promise Danielle and Ryland Inn will not disappoint!!!

Ryland Inn Coach House
We had our wedding at the Ryland Inn Coach House in early May and it was amazing! The venue is so beautiful and the Coach House has such a charm to it. Additionally the food is amazing, above and beyond your standard wedding fare, we got so many compliments from our guests. When we looked back at the wedding the next day we were shocked how smoothly everything went (if anything went wrong we had no clue!) which made our day that much better. I would highly recommend booking the Ryland Inn for your wedding, it was worth every penny!

We are still on cloud nine from our wedding on July 1st in the Grand Ballroom. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! It truly was the wedding of our dreams. Danielle, Shayna, Daniel, and the entire Ryland Inn staff were absolutely wonderful.
Shayna, our bridal attendant, was the true rockstar of the day. She took care of everything for us. From making sure we stayed hydrated and cool while taking pictures, to getting us food, drinks and making sure everything was perfect during the entire night. Our photographer and videographer couldn’t believe that she kept bringing them water throughout the day too, they had never seen that much help from a bridal attendant before. She was incredible! We cannot speak more highly of her! She was beyond wonderful!
The ENTIRE Ryland Inn staff was incredible as well. We cannot get over that as we walked out after the ceremony, each staff member congratulated us and told me how beautiful I looked. We knew the service would be great, but everyone went above and beyond!
The food was out of this world. Each and every guest raved how wonderful the food was from cocktail hour to the s’mores at the end of the night!
Danielle made the planning process so easy for us! She was very knowledgeable and made sure every detail was exactly how we wanted it. From the moment we stepped onto the grounds she made sure everything ran so smoothly. Danielle was absolutely amazing to work with!
We could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding! You will not be disappointed booking your wedding at The Ryland Inn!

Dream venue
What an absolute dream! The food is absolutely amazing. Everyone mentioned how delicious the filet mignon was. My brother was even able to take a tour of the kitchen and they showed how they smoked their own meats. Everything is farm to table carefully selected. Not over the top and gaudy like other places and I've been to so many other venues. Just the right about of delicious quality food.
Danielle Gomez was so helpful in all our planning from the beginning. maitre d was also amazing day of!! Sam my bridal attendant was the best. The all made sure my day has everything planned out without having to worry! Food and drinks brought to us. Kept us on schedule and ensured the parents also were comfortable. Everything went perfectly!!!
It is such a beautiful venue too!! The grand ballroom is so open, bright, roomy and historic looking. Outdoor ceremony was gorgeous. No drapery and carpets that make the space feel dark claustrophobic.
If you're shopping around and interested.. do it!!
