INCREDIBLE!!! Cannot recommend enough!
From the moment we toured the property and met Sam, the Director of Events, we knew it was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. We chose the Coach House, a converted equestrian barn, and it was the perfect setting for our reception. We got married in May and were lucky to have perfect weather, which allowed our guests to enjoy the outdoor patio during cocktail hour and later in the evening for s’mores during the reception. The combination of the gorgeous property, stunning reception space, and outdoor areas created an unforgettable atmosphere. What truly set The Ryland Inn apart, however, was working with Sam. She is incredibly organized, responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making the planning process as seamless as possible. After we booked, she sent us a list of preferred vendors, and having those recommendations—along with vendors proactively reaching out to us—was such a huge help. We were especially grateful for the hotel block manager she connected us with, who consolidated all of our hotel options and room blocks, making the process so much easier to navigate. Throughout wedding planning, Sam made us feel calm, supported, and confident. Whether we had questions along the way, attended our tasting, or worked through our final details meeting, she was always available and on top of everything. On our wedding day, everything ran flawlessly. The food was beyond fantastic, and our guests are still talking about it. The entire staff was wonderful, especially Billy, the maître d’, and our bridal attendant, Adela, who were both so warm, attentive, and helpful throughout the day. Our wedding was truly perfect, and a huge part of that was thanks to The Ryland Inn and the incredible team behind it. We are so grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful space and an exceptional planning experience.

Dream venue
The Ryland Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, they were quick to respond, incredibly kind, and flexible in accommodating our needs. The entire staff was welcoming and genuinely wanted to ensure we had the best wedding day possible. They went above and beyond to make my dream wedding come true and were so low-stress about everything. The quality of their work was simply stunning - the venue was absolutely beautiful, elegant, and perfect in every way. I cannot recommend The Ryland Inn highly enough to any couple looking for a truly special and stress-free wedding experience.

Our dream venue!
The Ryland Inn seriously made all of our wedding dreams come true. From the day we toured all the way to our wedding, they truly showed up for us in every single way. Giana was our main point of contact, along with Sam, and both of them were pure magic! They made sure that everything went smoothly, and that nothing was out of place. I also have to shout out Faith and Billie who made our wedding day so special with their attentiveness and kindness. Everyone at The Ryland Inn is truly a professional. Our friends and family could not stop raving about how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was, and how amazing the service was. It was an unbelievable day, and we are so incredibly thrilled we went with The Ryland Inn.

Wedding
We had our wedding at the Ryland Inn in August and it was absolutely perfect! The Ryland was the first place we toured when we were looking at wedding venues, and nowhere else came close to comparing. We had Giana as our event stylist and she was amazing – answering all of our questions, knowing every detail, and making the entire process seamless. Giana walked us through the entire wedding planning process and was essential to making the day so perfect. The morning of we got ready in the Hayloft, and it was nice being close to see everything being set up. We were in the Grand Ballroom, the inside of which is beautiful with the chandeliers and fireplace, and so is the outdoor area. The food was outstanding and received so many compliments from our guests. I’m so happy we chose the Ryland Inn!

A Dream Wedding
A Dream Wedding at the Ryland Inn We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and convenient venue than the Ryland Inn for my daughter’s wedding day. From the stunning location to the seamless flow between the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and photo opportunities—all in one place—it made everything so easy for us and our guests. We didn’t have to travel anywhere, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. The service was absolutely exceptional. The entire staff was warm, professional, and genuinely kind. They were attentive to every detail and incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Being able to get ready on-site made the day even more stress-free and special. A special thank you to Giana Phillips, our amazing event stylist. She was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process and on the big day. She anticipated our needs and handled everything with grace and care. It truly was a day to remember, and we are so grateful to the Ryland Inn for helping bring our vision to life so perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier wedding experience.
