The Ryland Inn

oking for a reception venue. From there, all the other plans fell into place, and we could not be happier with the experience that we had with our guests on the big day. The food was the main star, and really was the biggest selling point of this venue for us. It was beyond incredible on our day, regarding flavor, variety, presentation, and quantity. The cook on the filet mignon and salmon for dinner service was perfect, and all other components were so well seasoned and complimentary to the other flavors on each dish. Additionally… The Grand Ballroom was set up so beautifully. My bridal attendant and MD were very attentive and kind. Both bar tenders got rave reviews from our guests. The cottages (Kimblewick and Hayloft) were the coolest. I will say that we were disappointed that the completion of the new hotel was delayed, so we were unable to direct guests there as planned, but we understand how these things work, and are sure that the future opening of the hotel will only increase the already insanely high value of the Ryland Inn. We ultimately cannot recommend Ryland more. Our guests were very impressed, and so were we. Thank you to everyone there for making our day so memorable in every way possible!

te August and had roughly 150 guests. I had no stress the day of my wedding, and that's in thanks largely to the Ryland Inn and their team. We worked with Giana Philips who was an amazing partner through the whole process. The food was ridiculously good and the team worked so seamlessly with all the vendors behind the scenes. Our guests also had a great time and loved the venue. Everyone was comfortable and able to relax and have a good time! Would highly recommend!!

ur wedding day flawless. Guests RAVED about the food - cocktail hour, main dinners, and desserts; no one could get enough. It is a breathtakingly beautiful venue with a staff that is so helpful and encouraging. We loved everyone we worked with there and have the most amazing pictures of the venue!

best to work with throughout our entire planning process. Every detail, interaction and question, Giana was available and attentive. The venue does an incredible job as you get closer in allowing you and your partner to bring along four people with you for your wedding tasting. It was such a special time for our family to be able to get a sneak peek into the magic that my husband and I saw upon originally falling in love with the Ryland. Rehearsal and day of were a breeze. Giana, and the entire day-of staff made sure that my husband and I were the center of the day and ensured the world stopped, just for a few hours on Sunday, 10/5/25, to revolve around us. They made our dreams come true and really created the most perfect day for us. We can't wait to go back for dinner and to revisit the Grand Ballroom. Everything from food, service, and drinks, was absolutely perfect.

notch: professional, efficient, and attentive to every detail. They made the entire day run seamlessly and made us feel completely taken care of. We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and everyone is still talking about the food! The venue itself is stunning, and the service is unmatched. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience.

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.

g every question I sent her within a few hours or less. She was so accommodating with any changes that we requested and helped us craft the perfect night. The wedding venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. It’s refined and has so much uniqueness and charm — way beyond the typical ballroom that you see at so many other NJ venues. The service was impeccable. Our bridal attendant was there for our every need and made us feel like royalty. Every waiter, bartender, manager was so friendly and couldn’t be happier to serve our guests. And last but not least the food!! All of our guests said that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding and the amount of food that you get for your money is incomparable. If you’re thinking of booking the Ryland Inn — do it! You won’t regret it!

night after perfect! The staff are super professional and helpful and made the entire process from the initial booking to the day-after clean up simple and stress free. Our guests raved about the food non-stop and the options are endless! We had contact with Samantha the director of events from the day we booked up to the day of the event and she made the whole process seamless! Shout out to the whole Ryland Inn staff for making everything perfect and easy!

r spaces gave our wedding day the perfect flow. We especially loved that we could have our ceremony right on site and also get ready in the beautiful on-site cottages—it made the whole experience feel seamless and stress-free. The staff was incredible. Everyone was warm, professional, and attentive. On the big day, everyone on our team from the concierge to the bridal attendant and maitre d were truly amazing—they made sure we and all of our guests were taken care of from start to finish and went above and beyond. The staff and bartenders were exceptional as well. And major shoutouts to the chefs - so many of our friends and family are still raving about the food at both the cocktail hour and the reception. Everything was top-tier and absolutely delicious. From the ceremony to the reception to the after-party, the night flowed like a well-oiled machine. It was flawless, beautiful, and unforgettable. And now for our superstar—Giana, our wedding coordinator. We don’t even know where to begin but we but the jackpot being paired with her during our tour. Giana was with us every step of the way, from our first walk-through all the way through to the final moments of our big day. She was responsive, organized, thoughtful, and always on top of every detail. She helped us stay on track with timelines, recommended fantastic vendors, and answered every question with patience and kindness. Giana, we cannot thank you enough. Your support, energy, and dedication meant the world to us. We truly could not have done this without you. To anyone considering the Ryland Inn—do it. And if you have the chance to work with Giana, consider yourself lucky. She made our wedding dreams come true. With so much gratitude, Christina & Ed

t. From the property grounds, the food/drink customization options, to the clear communication - everything was perfect! Giana was our coordinator and one of the most helpful people for us throughout the entire planning process. She was extremely communicative, always available, and all round a pleasure to work with. She organized and managed the day of our wedding seamlessly. She was amazing to work with throughout the whole process!! Our guests are still raving about how amazing the food, service, and property was.

and we were right. From day 1 of planning through the day of the wedding our event stylist, Sam, was phenomenal. Very responsive, informative, and always helped to lead us in the right direction when we were questionable on certain details. The staff day of was aces. There was not a single issue I could even nitpick, and if there was we didn't know about it. Our guests raved about the evening especially the food. Several telling us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. My wife and I couldn't be happier with how our day went. Big thank you to all the staff that were involved that day especially Sam, Donna, Kai, Ted, and Jeff!

ade the day come to life so beautifully. I can't say enough good things about the venue itself and everyone working there - so kind and every detail mattered. I wish we could do it all again!

ator and she was fantastic! She responded to every single email quickly and gave us clear answers to all of our inquiries. We stayed on site, renting out the Kimble wick house, the Pelham house, and the Hayloft Cottage. Staying here was extremely convenient, it helped the day of timeline run very smoothly. The houses themselves were gorgeous, they felt like we were staying in a fancy hotel! If you can add these houses to your wedding package, we highly recommend it. The wedding itself was beautiful. The venue is stunning, and the staff was incredible. We did all DIY decor and they set everything up perfectly. The evening was more than what we dreamed it would be. The food and drinks were really delicious. Everyone on staff was great! We had a blast and all of our guest said this was the best wedding they’ve attended. Between the gorgeous venue and the outstanding staff, you cannot go wrong having your wedding (or any other event) at the Ryland Inn!

ce was truly wonderful. Our guests raved about the food and the beauty of the venue both inside and out. We stayed on the property in the cottages and they were terrific for service, cleanliness and convenience. We hosted our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception and our brunch on Sunday morning all at the Ryland and they were all terrific. Our only disappointment was that the 40 room boutique hotel on premise was not ready to accommodate our guests. We cannot thank the staff enough for an exceptional wedding weekend for our daughter.

and professional throughout the entire day. The food was also amazing from the cocktail hour all the way until the after party. We rented out the Pelham and Kimblewick houses for our bridal party and the concierge was so hospitable - bringing food, drinks, and anything else we needed. The houses were such a nice added touch to get ready with our bridal parties on the property. Last but certainly not least, our event stylist Sam was super helpful from the day we toured the venue through to our wedding day - answering all our questions and helping guide us through the wedding planning process. Thank you Sam & The Ryland Inn for helping make our wedding dreams come true!

xpectations!! 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!

ond to my emails within 10 minutes! On the day of, Danielle was away on vacation but she was there for the rehearsal the day before and made sure that Gianna who was filling in for her knew about every detail. Gianna was extremely helpful as well! Our bridal attendant, Donna, was absolutely amazing. She was professional and helpful from the moment we met on the day of. They were also very flexible on the day-of with letting us wait until the last minute to make the call to move our ceremony inside due to rain. Our maitre'd, Daniel, was also professional and made sure everything was running on time. Guests cannot stop raving about the food - it was second to none. You will not regret having your wedding at the Ryland Inn!

rt on my part! Everyone was a dream to work with and our day could not have been ANY better (even despite the rain!!). Sam was our coordinator and she was so fun to work with leading up to the big day, and then absolutely everyone who helped on the day-of was just amazing, down to the last detail. SO many of our guests approached us or our family members and told us it was the absolute BEST wedding they had ever attended in their life. I can't thank the Ryland enough!!

e process. We got married at The Coach House and it was incredible, our guests have told us it was the best wedding they’ve been to and the food was incredible. So thrilled with how our day turned out and 10/10 recommend the Ryland Inn.

very little detail was taken care of. As a first time bride, I didn’t know where to start with the planning process, but Sam eased my worries through every step of the way. The food was quite literally some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, the venue was timeless, and the staff was incredible. I cannot recommend the Ryland Inn enough!

e!

ut the entire planning process. The grand ballroom patio ceremony space was the most gorgeous area for the outdoor wedding ceremony I’ve been envisioning over the last 2 years, and the coach house reception room was so stunning and beautiful and the perfect place for a party with all your family and loved ones. If you’re looking for a venue that goes above and beyond, look no further. The Ryland Inn outshines all of your typical “wedding factory ballrooms with heinous swirly carpet and uplighting” that you’ve seen a million times everywhere else. The Ryland Inn is gorgeous and unique, a modern twist on rustic chic, with people who truly outdo themselves to make sure your wedding day is everything you want it to be. Planning a wedding is sometimes stressful, but if you book with Ryland, it doesn’t have to be. There are cottages on site for you and your wedding party or family to stay either the night before, the night of, or both, which was a huge factor of consideration for us. Being able to drop off all our stuff and have our wedding party together on site the night before, and then wake up all together the morning of made the day start off smoothly. There were 5 bedrooms all with private bathrooms, a kitchen, and a getting ready space for my hair and makeup glam squad to work comfortably. There are so many beautiful spots for photos all over the property and the natural architecture of the buildings are unbeatable. The food is truly out of this world, not only quality but quantity!! Our guests are still raving about all of our cocktail hour menu selections and said they’ve never seen such impressive variety at a wedding. This venue is really a one stop shop and offers everything you could want for your special day. If your wedding vibe is a beautiful and stunning ceremony space, unique and romantic reception area, great food, and a good mood, then you’ve found it at the Ryland Inn. Some special shout outs: Sam, our venue coordinator, was an absolute angel. She answered every single one of my questions and made sure the day went perfectly. She knows her stuff and has been in the game for several years. She’s an absolute pleasure to work with and our day wouldn’t have been possible without all of her help! Ted, our cottage concierge, was such a fun guy and waited on us hand and foot. Between helping us unload our car with luggage and decor to bringing us breakfast and lunch at the cottage to checking on us throughout the day, he was at our disposal the entire weekend and never hesitated to offer a helping hand with whatever we needed. Hayley (I think that’s her name I’m sorry if I can’t remember!) my bridal attendant, was my best friend that day. She followed me all over the property during photos making sure my dress was fluffed and veil was nicely laid for pictures, brought us a whole spread of food from our cocktail hour since we knew we wouldn’t have time to enjoy any of it due to our photos being scheduled right after the ceremony, helped me change into my reception dress, and always made sure I had a drink in hand. Several of our guests also complimented the wait staff for being so kind and attentive, and noted that the bartenders were also so nice and know how to make great drinks! Thank you again to everyone who made my dream a reality!

was included at the venue like table-side wine service, we knew that our wedding would be in good hands here. That was true for a lot of our planning process. We initially spoke with Lara in September 2022 and booked The Ryland Inn only two weeks later for our September 2023 wedding. We loved working with her and she was so incredibly helpful with answering my multitude of questions and even when we wanted to have another tour around Christmas to show my parents the venue. Ryland's presentation of the tasting was excellent and the food is just outstanding here. People are still texting me saying how much they loved the food at both the rehearsal and the wedding. We didn't meet the guest count minimum and they have so much additional food options to choose from that we were able to add on some fun items like ice cream sandwiches. Our bridal attendant was also helpful by getting us some take away boxes to have after the reception and the people setting up the decor did a great job. I do have to say that I'm unable to give the venue five stars for a couple of reasons: Lara went on maternity leave in January and while we were assured she was coming back, they handed us to one guy then about two months later over to Danielle. Up until our final details meeting in July did they say Lara was going to be around for the wedding, only she never was. I would've much rather preferred for them to be upfront about her not coming back (or even just telling us that she wasn't coming back) and fully handing us over to Danielle instead of us feeling like we were pushed to the sidelines as we waited for our actual coordinator to take over. It gave off the feeling that we were on a low-priority list. If you want to get ready on property, you'll need to book one of the cottages. We booked The Hayloft Cottage, which was great, though you can't get in there until 12. So if you have a larger party getting ready, you'll need to hire extra attendants or do what Danielle suggested and split the group with some in a different cottage (we hired extra attendants). Not a huge thing, but definitely something to be aware of. I also only ever saw Danielle once, just before walking down the aisle, on the entire wedding day when I was under the impression that the coordinator would be there to help with everything the day of. I'm very glad that we did our rehearsal dinner at Ryland even though we couldn't use the actual space and were instead in the restaurant area since another wedding was going on. This did make it very slow between courses and they don't have house speakers in that area so you'll need to bring your own speaker like us. All in all, we are very satisfied with choosing Ryland and loved so much of our wedding. I'd say any of the negative aspects certainly wouldn't determine from booking them if I had to do it again, but if you're considering it I would just make sure your expectations are in check!

ry day-of. They take care of EVERYTHING which allows you to forgo a wedding planner if you don't want one. 10/10 recommend, you will not be disappointed!!!!

. We also had so many guests rave about the delicious food and drinks! They nailed our signature drinks!!

experiencing probably the best food and drinks in the wedding industry. Their tasteful display of food and food options are delectable. Every server was beyond helpful and sweet, making every interaction so pleasant. The day of getting ready help from Maria was so wonderful and she made sure everything was in order! Donna, the bridal attendant, was very helpful in directing us and helping us stay on time! The best advice she ever gave us was to step away and enjoy the canapés together for a few minutes. The maitre d (which I apologize for forgetting his name) was out of this world kind and helpful, he had the most wonderful energy and smile!!! The bartenders, the guests absolutely adored! They were so social and personable, which we and our guests loved chatting with!! Our guests said those were some of the best drinks they have ever had at a wedding. We couldn’t rave enough about this team, as they really are special in creating the most amazing day for you. Danielle helped us comb through the schedule and food options, with the best opinions she helped us create the exact menu we wanted!! This team made a vision come true and made things happen that we were so so grateful for. Being a local, the Ryland Inn gives a beautiful representation of this beautiful area and really puts hunterdon county on the map. Absolutely incredible, you will have the best day of your life together with this venue!!!

excellent. We were able to stay in one of the on-site cottages (Kimblewyck) the night before and night of the wedding, which was extremely convenient and helpful for getting ready. My only complaint would be that the house could have been a little better thought out - there wasn’t really anywhere to hang my dress where the garment bag wasn’t hanging on the floor, and the sinks in the bathrooms were incredibly small. The men were in the Grooms Cottage the afternoon of the wedding and had a great time. Sam was our Memory Maker throughout the entire process and she was so wonderful to work with. Leading up to the day of, she was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions thoroughly, and on the day of, helped ensure that everything ran smoothly (especially impressive since it rained on and off all day and the plans for the ceremony kept changing). Angela was my bridal attendant and I absolutely couldn’t have made it through the day without her. She was incredibly helpful and took care of all kinds of small things I never would have even thought of. It was truly the most wonderful day of our lives, and we are so thankful that we were able to have our wedding here.

s cannot stop raving about how gorgeous the venue is, how professional and kind the staff were, and how delicious the food was. Our wedding went so well thanks to the staff at the Ryland Inn who are truly experts at what they do. Would 100% recommend to any couple!

and kind, they made the day! Also, if you want to make sure that the food will be amazing, The Ryland is the place to choose. We had our wedding almost entirely vegan. I was a little nervous at first, but they totally nailed it! I came to them with all these vegan ideas for hors d'oeuvres and entrees, and they said it would be no problem. Sure enough, all of my ideas were magically there the day of and they were delicious! I am so glad we chose The Ryland Inn!

s who worked on our wedding were amazing from our first meeting. Sam went above and beyond to make sure that every detail of our wedding was perfect. Sam was prompt in her email communication and answered every single question I had about our big day. My husband has a severe dairy allergy, and the chef at the Ryland Inn tailored our entire wedding menu to him. My husband was able to eat almost everything! It is very rare that a venue will change the menu in order to accommodate a food allergy. The entire day was perfect. They set up all of my decors perfectly. The entire was smooth and our guests are still talking about what a gorgeous venue the Ryland Inn is. I would 10/10 recommend to get married here.

ingle step of the way everyone at The Ryland Inn made the process so incredibly easy and fun. Part of the reason why we went with The Ryland Inn is because we knew Landmark Hospitality cared a lot about making sure people had a great experience at their venues, and that was the case. We also knew the food would be incredible at The Ryland Inn and that was DEFINITELY the case. On the day of, everything went perfectly and the little things the attendants did at The Ryland Inn for us continue to blow us away when we think about our wedding - from making sure the room was set up perfectly to the little details like handing us and our bridal party our signature cocktails right after we walked back down the aisle after the ceremony. The food itself was absolutely incredible and blew away our guests. In the weeks since our wedding we still randomly get texts about how amazing the food was. From the drinks, to the food, to the attendants, to the Grand Ballroom, everything was perfect - it seemed not a single detail went unnoticed, and we felt so taken care of the entire event.

scheduling, but this venue made it seem so seamless and efficient. The most important contributor to this seamlessness was Sam Lipman - our Event Stylist / Wedding Coordinator. We visited more than 5 other venues prior to the Ryland, and no one compared to her. She was completely on top of her game, 100% organized, and she was also cool as a cucumber the entire time. Any question we had, she either had the answer instantly or was able to get back to us in short order. She is so easy to to talk to, communicate with, and discuss ideas with. Plus she’s hilarious! The venue itself is simply gorgeous (highly recommend the Coach House), and as a NYC foodie, the food was fantastic. The Ryland had a massive list of recommend vendors that all knocked it out of the park as well. I cannot recommend Sam and the Ryland Inn more. 5 stars!

ages. The wedding day went very smoothly, and all the staff were very accommodating. They did break my personalized champagne class, personalized lasered name for menu setting, and chipped the French Bulldog figurine we had for our wedding cake. I assume it all occurred in haste of turning over the ceremony space to the reception space. Everything else about the weekend was absolutely breathtaking and incredible; I am still getting compliments on how delicious the food + drinks were as well as how beautiful the space itself is. We were married in the Coach House, as I loved the rustic elegance of it. The cocktail hour space was to die for with the silo!!

was just spectacular and I knew it was the perfect place for our winter wedding. Danielle was great to work with, always willing to answer my million questions throughout the planning process. As it got closer to the date she was on top of everything and made us feel calm and excited for our wedding at the Ryland. The food was outstanding, so much so that so many of our friends and family are still talking about it! The kitchen staff went above and beyond to make sure there was something for everyone. They were eager to accommodate my dairy allergy as well as any other dietary restrictions our guests had. The set up for cocktail hour was perfect with the various stations and the passed appetizers. Our guests had so much fun at the cocktail hour that it was hard to get everyone to move into the ballroom. The ballroom set up was spectacular with the roaring fire and the glittering chandeliers. Our guests also had the option of going outside where we had fire pits set up, and they loved it despite it being so cold. The entire staff at the Ryland was impeccable. Daniel, our maitre’d, and Angela, our bridal attendant, were incredibly organized, attentive, and kind. The Ryland Inn absolutely exceeded our expectations and helped us have the most perfect wedding reception we could have ever imagined!

nd ballroom on 12.02.22 and were blown away by the whole team at the Ryland Inn. Lara, our event planner was there for us every step of the way through the planning process. She was there to answer any questions we had helped us personalize every aspect of our wedding day. Billie and her team went above and beyond throughout the night to make our guests feel welcome. From the moment they arrived our guests felt welcomed, they were greeted with warm apple cider while they waited for the ceremony to start. We have received countless compliments on the food, especially during cocktail hour. The ability to customize the menu throughout the night allowed us to ensure all of our guests had food options they would enjoy. Our parents were also blown away by their attention to detail. Billie and her team ensured our parents were well taken care of throughout the night which included bring them plates of certain cocktail hour stations to their tables so they didn't have to get up. The popcorn at the end of the night was the perfect send off for our guests on their way out. I couldn't be happier with our choice to have our wedding at the Ryland Inn. The only negative thing I could say is that the day is over. If we had to choose again, we would 100% pick the Ryland Inn.

t we wanted before we even knew it and she was by our side and available throughout the entire process. The venue was gorgeous! We used the two 5 bedroom houses onsite and I would recommend that to everyone! Ted was amazing and very helpful! I don’t think we could have asked for anything else! We are so beyond happy we chose Ryland Inn! Thank you again to all of the amazing people who made our day so special.
