The Ryland Inn is a farm-to-table culinary icon with renowned executive chef, Chris Albrecht, and its own chef garden. Everything will be made fresh and to order during our reception.

We are having an unplugged ceremony! We ask that you leave phones, cameras, any devices away in purses or pockets. Please make sure they are turned off.

Reception is fair game and if you post anything use #hooklineandrinker.
