About

On WeddingWire since 2014

"In terms of décor, Ralph Lauren would be jealous." - The New York Times.

Romantic and luxurious, equestrian yet refined. Built in 1796, The Ryland Inn is a former country home and stagecoach stop in Whitehouse Station, NJ. Today, it is a redesigned space that boasts exposed wood beams, elegant chandeliers, and exceptional cuisine.

The Grand Ballroom at The Ryland Inn

With the feel of a country farmhouse paired with modern flair, the breathtaking 30-foot windows and matching stone fireplace play perfectly in concert with the glimmer and glow of our six chandeliers. The Grand Ballroom provides the look of refined country elegance, an impressive space to host your next event. The space is complete with a private courtyard, including outdoor bars, lounging, and fire pits.

The Coach House at The Ryland Inn

Our refurbished 200-year-old barn is nothing short of magnificent for your special day.Utilizing the original silo and materials from the original barn, this space is unique, authentic, and dramatic. Separate spaces for cocktails, dinner, and ceremony make this space incomparable. Whitewashed ceilings with dark wood exposed beams, Italia n * porcelain floors, French doors, and floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace; a combination of finishes that complement each other in the most extraordinary way.Our refurbished 200-year-old barn is nothing short of magnificent for your special day.

Overnight Cottages at The Ryland Inn

Nestled on 10 acres, adjacent to the Coach House, the Ryland Inn offers overnight accommodations. Our Breyer Barns consist of three unique cottages totaling up to 13 guest rooms. Our Pelham House, complete with pool table, barber shop, and bar; the Kimblewick House with hair, make-up, and nail stations. Both cottages enjoy large kitchens, common areas, and outdoor patios. The Hayloft Cottage is completely separate and the perfect retreat for the new couple. Ryland Inn will soon have a 40 room hotel to accommodate guests.

I wish I could get married again here

I do not even know where to start! I had the most AMAZING experience throwing my wedding at The Ryland Inn. Danielle was the most helpful throughout my planning process and was very supportive and helpful. Her e-mail responses were quick and she was always able to answer my questions. We heard nothing but amazing things from our guests from the atmosphere, the food and the service. I highly recommend this venue, you will NOT be disappointed

A Dream Wedding Venue

My husband and I got married in the Grand Ballroom on September 21st and we truly had the best experience - I knew it was going to be our dream wedding but it beyond exceeded our expectations!!

From the moment we toured Ryland Inn, we sensed how special this venue was - they made us feel so warm and welcomed from the start.

We were honestly so blown away by the whole team. The day of, everyone we worked with was so accommodating, on top of everything, and beyond willing to lend a helping hand. Our event coordinator, Danielle, was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Any questions (and I definitely had quite a few) or concerns I had along the way, she was always there to help. I feel so grateful to have been working with someone who truly cared about making my and my husband’s wedding so special, and also a reflection of us.

As a bride, I did not have one thing I needed to worry about - Danielle and the staff made sure I was stress free and enjoying every second of the day. Any requests we had from the start to the day of were happily accommodated. The attention to detail was unmatched!!

The venue itself is stunning in every aspect - it really is picture perfect. Our guests were so impressed with cocktail hour and the food was plentiful throughout the night.

We could not be happier with how the day and night turned out. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. We have had so many people reach out to us about how great of a night it was and that they had the best night.

We would choose the Ryland Inn over and over again - it will always hold a special place in our hearts!

The very best!

From the start The Ryland was amazing! Samantha was there for everything I needed and always there for any questions or anything i needed. She really made it easy to plan a wedding. The day of, Ted was in charge of our cottages & he was great, attentive and there for anything we needed. Donna who was my bridal assistant was top notch! I really could not compliment her more. She was attentive, knew things before I could ask, and on top of everything that needed to be done. Thank you Ryland and all your staff. You made our wedding for one to be remembered!! We couldn't of loved it more!
