The Ryland Inn

e fit us perfectly. It was exactly what we were looking for. Our event stylist, Sam, is truly amazing! She was with us every step of the way. She made the entire wedding planning process so easy and stress free! She answered every question I had and responded to every email I sent. She stayed on top of every detail and helped make our wedding day the most perfect day. We feel so lucky to have had Sam as our event stylist!! Planning a wedding during a pandemic was stressful and when we needed to postpone, we felt so much love and support from both Sam and Michelle. They are truly so wonderful to work with! They supported every decision we made. During a difficult time for all, the Ryland Inn stood by their couples. Words can’t express how much we love the Ryland Inn. We rented two of the cottages on the property and it was definitely worth it. The entire staff at the Ryland Inn is the absolute best. We loved working with everyone there and always felt like we were taken care of. A special shout out to Garfield for being there for us the whole night!! Our wedding was more than we could have imagined! It was everything we dreamed it would be and more because of the Ryland Inn. Our friends and family are still talking about how much they loved the Ryland Inn, how delicious the food was, and how amazing the staff was. We are beyond grateful for everyone at the Ryland Inn. Thank you so much to the Ryland Inn for making our wedding absolutely amazing!

to hold our special day. The rustic, elegant charm of this old equestrian farm was exactly what we were looking for. It matched our personalities and visualizations for the day to a T. Lara, our event planner was amazing as she guided us throughout our planning process. The chef and his staff provided us with unique, delicious foods for cocktail hour and reception, which all of our guests raved about the entire night! Ramona was an angel and let my dad practice his speech to her. My personal bridal attendant, Angela, was amazing. She made sure I stayed hydrated while taking pictures outside in the heat, made sure my husband and I tried all the food from our cocktail hour, and fixed my dress all night with safety pins (when my bustle broke!) The rest of the Ryland staff was fantastic, attentive, and a joy to be around. We have not heard one negative comment from a single guest that attended our wedding. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy a meal together at The Ryland's restaurant. My husband and I would recommend The Ryland Inn to every single person we know that is planning a wedding!!

nding and kindness - always making time for us and answering our 1000 questions. There were always plenty of weddings in front of ours, but they always treated us like our wedding day was just around the corner. Sam, our event stylist, is the BEST!!! Organized, accommodating, kind - I could go on and on. I feel so lucky that my fiancé and I got to work with her!!! She helped bring our vision to life and make our day so incredible special. I need to also give a special shout-out to Tawny on the waitstaff. On the dance floor the back of my dress popped open (OMG moment). She saw from across the room and ran over and had me meet her in the bathroom. She sewed me back into my dress in TWO MINUTES and had me back in the dance floor, crisis averted. SO NICE and probably saved the rest of my night!!! If you are considering Ryland for your wedding or event just do it! Our guests had the time of their lives. You will have zero regrets…not to mention how absolutely gorgeous it is!! Let’s not forget that part :) I wish we could do it all over again!!

ylist/Memory Maker and I could not have asked for a better point of contact. She is incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible. She was there to answer my questions over my 20 months of planning and made adjustments for me even after our final details meeting! The entire day/night was flawless because of the staff at the Ryland. Many of our guests commented about how great the service was - drinks never empty, napkins never not refolded, new utensils in hand within seconds if one was dropped, etc. Special shoutouts to Daniel, our Maitre D, Maria, our Bridal Attendant, and Clovis, one of the servers! All day/night we felt so taken care of and anything we needed they took care of for us. In addition to the service, the food was INCREDIBLE. From drinks when guests arrived before our ceremony, to cocktail hour, through dinner, and including our Jersey Boardwalk dessert station and donut wall, the food was outstanding! Sam/The Ryland Inn even put together a special plate for my fiance for dinner as he is a VERY PICKY eater. We rented the Kimbelwick House and the Groom’s Cottage on the property to get ready and stay overnight. The concierge, Tim, was great about responding to any questions and requests. It was great being able to relax the day of while getting hair/makeup done before our first look and ceremony! The Ryland Inn was a dream to work with and our day was seamless, stress free, and truly perfect! I couldn’t have asked for more and would recommend them 100 times over to anyone looking for a rustic, romantic, and elegant wedding!

eam from your event stylist to the wait staff. Everyone is so professional, helpful, flexible, and does everything in their power to make your dream wedding day a reality. I would not have gotten thru wedding planning if it wasn't for Lara. She went above and beyond in all aspects and made me feel like I was the only wedding she was working on, when I knew there had to have been a ton. From the ceremony, to reception to our after party the day went flawless! Everyone was gushing over the beautiful space and the food! I still have guests who can't stop talking about the mac and cheese we had at our cocktail hour. We also rented all 3 cottages on the property to get ready in and to stay over night which was so convenient! The concierge Tom was awesome and beyond helpful. He even jumped in to help my mother in law on the phone with step by step directions who got lost driving to the venue. Overall the Ryland Inn is amazing and we are soooo happy we got to finally have our special day there! Highly recommend for any couple looking for your not so typical catering hall venue with first class food, staff, and ambiance. It fit our rustic, romantic elegance vibe of a wedding to a tee!

ll, the venue is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. But the staff is what makes that place! To start, Samantha Lipman is one of the greatest people I’ve ever met. She is so organized, professional, respectful and kicks ass at her job. I am an extreme Type-A.. and Sam was reading my mind before I even had to ask. She was in clear communication with my husband and I prior to the wedding. She was very personable and got me so excited about everything. We were scheduled to have our rehearsal dinner in the upstairs room of the Ryland. However, my husband’s grandma had a major heart attack prior to the wedding and we were afraid she would not be able to make it up the stairs. The Ryland brainstormed and put together the most beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Kimblewick house for us. Leo, our waiter, was GREAT! He made sure all of the guests had exactly what they needed and was very attentive. When we headed to welcome drinks, he stayed back to clean up. He left us a note about how he stocked the fridge with my favorite drink and that he had so much fun that he requested to work our wedding the next night. Ted, the attendant of the Kimblewick house, was also amazing and so friendly. We ordered high tea the morning of. Chef Christopher let me alter the menu of high tea to my preferences and it was such a special way to start the day. The wait staff was SO PERSONABLE and attentive. My husband and his family have owned high end catering companies. They have high expectations. They appreciated that the food for each table came out all at once, so no one was waiting. Also – after the ceremony, when we walked from the ceremony space into the building for cocktail hour.. the waiters all line up with trays of our signature drinks, red wine, white wine and beer. So as guests walked into the building, they could easily grab a drink without a long line at the bar. AND THE FOOD… OMG. They say as the bride and groom you don’t really eat at your wedding.. my husband and I devoured every bite. The guests were raving about the food all night. I felt like a true princess. I was completely taken care of. Anything I needed, Sam, the Maitred or the bridal attendant, were there. The next morning, we returned to the Ryland to pick up our stuff and it was all neatly boxed up and put away waiting for us. They were amazing, from start to finish. The staff, the food, the beauty of the venue.. it is the most perfect place to get married.

d answered any questions we had very quickly and made everything stress free. The bridal attendant, Leslie, was wonderful and made sure that my day went smoothly. All the servers and bartenders were so professional and made sure that our guests were happy. The Ryland Inn really knows how to throw an event. The food was amazing - we still get so many compliments on how tasty and fresh everything was! If you're thinking about booking the Ryland Inn... do it! You won't regret it. 10000% recommend it

st fantastic. I could not have asked for a better venue and staff to support us on our special day. Highly highly recommend getting married here or having any type of event at this wonderland l place. 100 out of 10

sed a beat; she truly goes above and beyond for her couples!! Sam, Danielle and the entire staff were professional but still knew how to throw us a party. Thank you for making our day so memorable for our guests and for us!!!

ire team at The Ryland Inn (Lara, Danielle, Michelle, Donna, David, Chef Chris, Kimberly, etc.) was a true pleasure to work with from the moment we booked in 2018 all the way to saying goodbye as we boarded our hotel shuttle at the end of our wedding night. Our guests could not say enough about the incredible serving staff ("The service was amazing! Our server was so attentive and personable!"). Despite dealing with the pandemic and three postponements, we eventually had the PERFECT wedding day that was absolutely worth the wait!

f the sweetest people I have ever met. She listened to me, answered every question (there were ALOT), and helped me decide on various options when things seemed overwhelming. Because of her, I feel that I was not stressed out for my wedding. She made sure every detail of my wedding was planned and executed exactly how we discussed. Thank you Samantha - you truly helped make my wedding the best and I think I also gained a friend! The Ryland Inn is very lucky to have such a compassionate person who gives her all to every wedding she plans!

worked with us the day of was fabulous and made sure that we were able to enjoy our day without any stress. Walking into The Coach House on that day was a dream. All of our friends and family cannot stop raving about this venue - location, food, service. It has everything!

putting a $5000 deposit down with Lauren for my wedding, within a month she quits and I am "transferred" to another wedding coordinator who took MULTIPLE weeks and MULTIPLE attempts on my part to reach out to her with no response. Finally after multiple emails and weeks had gone by, Michelle finally called me back so we set up a meet since my fiance was in town (he's military). After finally setting up a date, Michelle said she would comp a dinner for us due to the lack of communication. After our meet, we got a comped drink only. 6 months later COVID hit. The venue, FIRED my wedding coordinator and didn't tell me. I was forced to speak with Danielle who was less than helpful and when restrictions were lifted, they hired my wedding coordinator back. Even though our original wedding date was 12/26/2020, we didn't want to chance it because we have family members who assured us they wouldn't come due to underlying health reasons. The venue was not helpful with letting us push our date to 2022. They did not want to agree to our current contract due to covid and my fiance's military orders since he was due to deploy spring/summer of 2021 for a minimum of 6 months. If my fiance didn't have orders to deploy, we would have been able to do a 2021 wedding. The venue DID NOT CARE .We were forced to pick a new date out of season in late 2022 on a Sunday afternoon so the cost would not greatly increase. Now after the constant mistreatment, lack of communication and new orders arising for my fiances job again, we were forced to entirely cancel out wedding and guess what? I had emailed my wedding coordinator and days later still did not receive a response. I emailed their rep, Danielle, days later still did not receive a response. I had to send a certified letter to the venue to receive an email response from the venue. Finally, after my multiple attempts to get their response, I was just not informed my wedding coordinator (whom they fired and rehired) was on a leave of absence. As a client, I should have been aware of that and both Michelle and representatives of the The Ryland Inn failed to inform me of that. After all this, in order to cancel, I would still need to owe money for my late fall 2022 wedding after my $5000 deposit. You pay for service except i received none.

Inn was absolutely incredible in accommodating our every need as we had to make some of the toughest decisions during this planning process. The tasting was incredible and assured us just how amazing the food was going to be. Danielle worked with us the weeks leading up to our big day and she didn’t skip a beat. She had everything perfectly set up and everything ran like clockwork. Aja took care of us throughout the night to ensure that we had everything we needed. The entire team was remarkable and our guests recognized their passion and professionalism. We truly felt like we had the best venue, down to the service, food and accommodations. We hope that we can go to the Ryland Inn for someone else’s wedding so we can experience the venue as a guest. We highly recommend the Ryland Inn and all their amazing services. What a wonderful experience.

ocess - from when we first met and throughout the planning stages. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we first rearranged our wedding plans and then subsequently made the difficult decision to not hold our wedding event as planned, but instead eloped at Ryland. While not having the larger event was obviously difficult for everyone involved, Danielle and the Ryland team were gracious and generous in their understanding of our circumstances, and were very helpful in working with us to find solutions that worked best for everyone involved. We were so glad to still be able to have our elopement at Ryland, and cannot wait to return the the restaurant and venue for many future meals and events. Amidst all of the emotions and difficulty of pandemic wedding planning, the Ryland Inn was a bright spot that made our lives easier. While we are sad to have not gotten the chance to have our full wedding as planned, our experience with Ryland speaks volumes about them being great people and a professional business. We look forward to visiting in the future. Thank you, Danielle and Ryland team!

9/11 and Halloween. When we asked Landmark Hospitality if we could get a full refund given the circumstances, they immediately started avoiding us, not responding to any of our emails or calls. It required an email directly to the CEO of Landmark Hospitality to receive a response. She pushed us to hold our wedding on a non weekend day to maximize her profits, telling us that "Pandemic Monday is the the new Saturday!" Unbelievable given the circumstances. Given that we had already paid over 80% of the total deposit, they held our money hostage for over 2 months, which prevented us from booking another venue. We still have not received our full deposit back and at this point, are treating it as a sunk cost. However, it's our responsibility to all of the potential bride and grooms out there - we highly recommend looking at other venues. The actions of Landmark Hospitality's staff and leadership are truly shameful - we hope nobody else has to go through this experience.

ncements and have a beautiful and safe day! The team was amazing from our coordinator Michelle, to the servers, and the bridal attendants. I could not have asked for a more beautiful day. I wish I could relive it again and again!

ve been blown away! She is patient, kind, understanding, and exudes such a positive energy! We feel SOO fortunate for absolutely everything she has done for us, from helping us coordinate a small intimate ceremony of family on 7/18/20, to our big celebration next year. We are looking forward to continue to work with this amazing venue and our amazing coordinator, Michelle.

we were going to look at, my now husband had to work so my parents and I went and I absolutely fell in love with the grounds and the space. I called my husband and told him all about it and that was it we booked that day. Lara was our wedding coordinator and we could not have asked for anyone better. Lara answered any questions we had and honestly we didn't have too many because she literally took care of everything that we didn't have too many unanswered questions. The wedding tasting was pretty much a mini wedding and allowed you to really understand the quality of food they will be serving. Food was important to us and the fact that during the tasting the chef explains the farm to table dishes was a bonus to us. The day of our wedding we were so excited, Lara coordinated all our vendors so all we had to do was show up and enjoy our day. My bridal attendant Toni was a star! Toni goes above and beyond not only for her bride but for the groom, our family, and really our guests, you know and feel just how much she loves what she does and I could not have asked for anything more. Kat and the wait staff what can I say... Amazing! I can not say enough, everyone of our guests and I truly mean everyone came up to either myself, my husband, or our parents to tell us just how much they loved the entire staff. Impeccable is actually the word we had heard over and over again and we could not agree more. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts you made our wedding day the most memorable day ever and its so amazing to continue to hear from guests just how much fun they had and just how amazing the staff and venue were. Our hearts are so full with the memories of our day and that I believe says a lot about just how incredible the venue and staff are. Thank you ❤

sed we had to seal the deal with them that night! We worked with Lara, and from start to finish she was beyond amazing. Always kind, professional, and so prompt to answer any question we had. The space itself is so beautiful, but the food and staff are unmatched. Everything we ate that night was incredible. The staff answered every question even before we asked. We got married this past weekend, in the midst of all the Corona Virus news. Lara kept our minds at ease the weeks leading up to the wedding. She provided comfort and support as we began to worry our wedding would be impacted by this virus. Everyone at the Ryland was so incredibly understanding and were so helpful when guests began to cancel at the very last minute. We cannot thank them enough for being so wonderful throughout the entire process. We HIGHLY recommend The Ryland Inn, we will be back for dinner very soon!

r my winter wedding. We worked with Michelle, she is so kind, helpful and informative and was truly a pleasure to work with. During the wedding planning process I realized that having reliable vendors is key, and that's exactly what you get with the Ryland Inn. Michelle and her team made sure everything ran smoothly the day of my wedding, I didn't have to worry about anything. Anytime I mentioned that I was getting married at the Ryland it was met with either "it's so beautiful" or "The food is amazing" - both are true! There's really no need for an abundance of flowers or decorations because The Ryland truly speaks for itself. Of course I have to mention the food, I think cocktail hour was my favorite, there were so many delicious options. We had so much food that some guests thought we weren't serving a sit down dinner! I'm still getting compliments from guests about how great the food is. I'm so glad we decided to go with The Ryland Inn, they went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations.

“rustic/chic/barn/Hudson Valley” feel, but with all the amenities of a more upscale venue, near reliable accommodations, and more easily accessible to a New Jersey and NYC crowd. The Coach House checked all the boxes. Our wedding night was full of great food, amazing ambience, and perfect acoustics for music & speeches. Note: By moving the dance floor into the “Silo Bar” area of the Coach House, we were able to very comfortably accommodate close to 200 people for a seated reception. Special thanks to event stylist Michelle Ross, whose ability to navigate the obstacles and rise to all the challenges that came her way is unsurpassed. Her patience and flexibility meant such a great deal to us and our families, and it’s no secret that Michelle undoubtedly went above and beyond to ensure all our concerns and needs were addressed. She truly showed grace and poise throughout this entire process, and we have the utmost respect for her and the entire Ryland Inn/Coach House Team’s commitment to excellence and client satisfaction. Special shout out to Chef Christopher Albrecht, who worked closely with us to design a deliciously unique experience, and to our wonderful Maitre D’, Cat, who was able to execute our unique flow/floor plan flawlessly.

r through the planning. Lara is so sweet and incredibly good at what she does. She created a vision for us and helped execute it to a T. She worked hard to make sure we had our dream wedding all while staying within our budget and for that, we are grateful. Our bridal attendant, Tawny, is an actual super hero. She was by our side all night taking care of every tiny detail and need, sometimes without us even asking - it’s like she has some sort of bridal telepathy. Our guests told us multiple times that our wedding was the nicest they’d ever been to and that the food was out of this world. The Ryland takes care of EVERYTHING for you. If you’re a naturally anxious worrier like myself, you would be making a huge mistake not to book this venue. I’m 1000% satisfied!

he food is amazing, which was one of my biggest deciding factors in choosing a venue. My guests cannot stop raving about how good it was, which makes me feel really good! Something that sets the Ryland Inn apart from other venues is how amazing their staff is. The service they provide is top notch and they pay attention to every detail. For example, when dinner is served they serve the entire table at the exact same time. I never would have thought that this would be such an important detail, but you wouldn't believe how many of my guests mentioned it to me. Its little things like this that truly sets the Ryland Inn apart from the rest. I worked with Michelle and she was absolutely amazing. She was so accommodating, quick to respond to the many emails I bothered her with, and really just made me feel so special. She truly made my experience that much nicer. What you should also know... They say that the Coach House fits 200 people, but please know that if you are anywhere close to that it will be extremely tight. We had 155 people and it was still tight. The cocktail room is very small. Had the weather cooperated we would have been able to utilize the outdoor patio to make things more comfortable, but of course it rained during cocktail hour so my guests were crammed into the cocktail room like sardines. This was the one and only complaint I received from anyone about my wedding. The other issue I had was that the fireplace in the main room shares a flue with the fireplace on the outside patio. They lit a fire outside towards the end of the night and the smoke from it kept coming into the reception room. I hate the smell of fires so this was really annoying for me. They need to fix this. I was torn between 4 and 5 stars despite these issues because it is truly a phenomenal wedding venue! My advice to you, if you are considering the Coach House, would be to have it in warmer months and make sure they do not light a fire outside, but rest assured you will not be disappointed in choosing this venue!!

was average but the cocktail appetizers were nothing special. And the portion size on the dinner entrees were extremely small. Also the bathrooms were not clean and it didn't seem like the staff attended to them. I would in no way recommend this venue for any bride wanting to get married.

nough space to make it your own. The staff is AMAZING. Michelle helped us from day one and I cannot speak highly enough of her. She was there for every little question I had and went out of her way to make our day perfect. The rest of the team- I can't even remember all of them, but Daniel and Donna and everyone else, were truly spectacular. They took care of us so well the day of and catered to every little detail. The quality of service is truly five stars and if I could go back and change anything- I truly would not.

dding, almost every single vendor we hired came from her recommendations and advise and she did not steer us wrong. I am a very type A bride and she was understanding, responsive, and helpful. By the time our wedding day arrived, we felt very at ease and prepared, but we had no idea just how beautiful it would be. I can't say enough about the amazing event the Ryland Inn prepared for us. The ambiance from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the reception was absolutely breath taking. We had people raving about it the entire night and the days afterward. It is pricey, yes, but when you have the most perfect stress free night, every penny is worth it! This is not a wedding factory, there is nothing tacky or cheesy about this beautiful place and every wedding hosted there feels special and custom to your needs and wants. My bridal assistant made sure I was taken care of the entire night and that we did not want for anything the entire time. The food was AMAZING we had so many people tell us how incredible everything was. If I had to leave any feedback at all, we were guided out of our cocktail hour about 15 minutes too soon (which we really didn't need to be) and we were standing around waiting when we could have been using that time to say hello to more guests. Also, three groomsmen missed their entrance (which may have been more their fault than the Inn to be honest). Other than that, I really can not complain about anything as the night was so amazing. Worth absolutely every penny, we would do it all over again!

ocktail hour & reception food! We rented the Hayloft Cottage during the day which was the only bad part about getting married at the Coach House. There is no Bridal Suite to get ready in or hangout in before guests arrive. We had to spend $750 to be in the Hayloft Cottage during the day. Besides that our Bridal attendant, Tonya was absolutely incredible! My bridal party can't stop talking about how amazing she was! She went above and beyond for all of us. She even calmed me down before I walked down the aisle with a quick upper back/neck massage and some breathing exercises. I was panicking! The Staff was amazing at the Ryland Inn. My event coordinator Michelle was so lovely and easy to contact. She was always quick to respond to emails and made everything throughout this entire process run smoothly. I highly recommend this venue, although it was pricey, it was worth EVERY PENNY. It was the BEST DAY EVER!

oordinator and she was fantastic!

y walked right over to the Coach House for our ceremony and reception. We had an intimate wedding, with less than 100 guests and the Coach House was the perfect venue where we could appreciate the romantic atmosphere, enjoy delicious food, be cared for by attentive staff---all while actually spending time with our loved ones. We didn't have to worry about a thing! We were able to sit back and enjoy a weekend that was all about us, thanks to the impeccable attention to detail and friendly attitude of everyone at the Ryland Inn.

hecked off all the boxes we had when we went to visit venues. Our coordinator, Lara, did an awesome job helping plan leading up to our wedding day and she was so patient with all of our questions - we really appreciated it! Our bridal attendant, Tawny, was also incredible! She was always by our side and ready to help us with something before we even knew we needed it! Even our families and bridal party commented after the fact how helpful she was all day and night. We will never forget our wedding and how special everyone at the Ryland Inn made it for us!

y perfect. My husband and I worked with Danielle throughout our entire wedding planning process, and it was such a helpful, lovely experience. I can't say enough about everyone who works there who helped make our day so special! I had asked to visit the venue a few times before our day to scope out the rooms and how things were set up, and Danielle was very flexible and gave us a great time frame to arrive and check everything out. We also had a change in ceremony space about a month and a half before our wedding, and Danielle was so reassuring and made sure we understood that everything would run smoothly, and she was absolutely right! The bridal attendant and maitre d kept the entire day on track, gave us food along to way, and continued to check on us! I cannot say enough about the food, it is AMAZING! We chose to have stations, and the choices were outstanding, from the salad, to meat carving stations, pastas, smores and jersey boardwalk dessert station with waffles, it was more than we could have ever imagined! The space is just breathtaking whether you are inside on the dance floor, or outside near the fire pits and greenery. I can't wait to go back for dinner and get to experience the beauty of the entire location all over again! Highly recommend!

on minimum. The day of staff was better than we could have hoped for. Tani (sorry if the spelling is wrong) was the best bridal attendant a couple could ask for! She took great care of Kevin and I including grabbing him a drink to calm his nerves during our first look, helping me through pictures, and she was prepared with her cute fanny pack to accommodate any requests that you had. She has a great personality and helped keep our guests on the dance floor. Cat was our Maitre D and executed everything from beginning to end so beautifully. You can tell the team at the Ryland Inn loves what they do. Our guests raved about the food and on top of this, even mentioned that the team and staff were incredible. Finding this venue was the best decision we made. Many thanks from the Zimmer’s!

and seamless. She was patient, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. The venue itself is both rustic and elegant, with plenty of space for our 150 guest count. The food is not standard wedding food, but the product of a fine dining restaurant; it was obvious at our tasting how much care goes into their farm-to-table menu, and there was so much variety for our guests to enjoy. We as the bride and groom left our own wedding stuffed, and our bridal attendant still sent us home with leftovers. Every single staff member did their part to bring my vision to life and keep things on schedule. I literally cannot thank them enough for everything and would highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

It was the first and only venue we looked at. We loved the food, our cocktails, our donut wall (a favorite of our guests, too!) the fire pit s’mores, and our sparkler send off which our guests said was like something out of a dream. We paid extra to stay the night before and day of in the Hayloft Bridal cottage which was stunning and comfortable for a larger bridal party and really added to my experience. Our bridal attendant and Maitre d were also attentive. We loved it all. I would recommend this venue to anyone. The service was excellent and the overall experience was a ten!

and stunning then the next. From the beginning working with Lara as our event coordinator could not have been easier. She was kind, patient and easy to talk to. She helped answer any and all of our questions, and helped make the day run flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, the service was impeccable starting with Daniel our maître de. Our guests, were amazed by the service, and how friendly and accommodating the staff was. The staff remembered guests drinks, brought more hor devours on request, and were there any time anyone needed anything. The food was one of a kind, truly outstanding. Everything was fresh, and you could taste the difference from other catered events. All the guests raved about the food, and could not get over how delicious it was. As a bride, I was warned by other brides that if something goes wrong at the venue, don’t worry no one will know the difference. However, at the Ryland Inn, nothing went wrong, everything was executed impeccably, with ease, and with professionalism. They know how to properly entertain and know how to allow you to have the perfect night with all your favorite people. The Ryland Inn in our eyes exceeded our expectations and surpassed its reputation. It is a one of a kind venue, a spectacular place and one that we will be visiting every anniversary just so we can go back to experience its magic again. Thank you Ryland Inn.

e ever had! While they may be a bit more expensive than other venues, you do not need to worry about a thing-and that was a big reason as to why we chose this place. They handled everything for us, so it made the stress of planning significantly less. Lara was our planner, and she was great-we didn't have to worry about anything being handled. Our bridal attendant, was also amazing and I am kicking myself for blanking on her name! I was really nervous, and she was amazing at being able to calm me down! We stayed in the cottages onsite-which I highly recommend if you can book them. They are beautiful, and it was great to have our bridal party all in one place. The continental breakfast was amazing as well, and Ted, the concierge was incredibly helpful with our boxes and luggage. We had so many compliments about our wedding, and I can definitely say they made it memorable. The only negative thing I have to say isn't really that negative-there was a s'mores bar included in our package, and it never happened. And if it was set up, they never told anyone, so that was a little disappointing. However, it is the middle of August, so I can't complain too much, because I wouldn't want to stand next to a fire on a humid August night! Definitely book this place! You won't regret it!

d every single question we had throughout the planning process in an incredibly timely manner and with great knowledge. Our entire Ryland team the day-of was incredible. They worked so hard to make sure our day went off without a hitch. There are absolutely no words to describe the level of class and professionalism that The Ryland Inn has. I certainly think other venues could learn a thing, or two, or twenty from them! Our guests picked up on it as well, and were super impressed with everyone that was working at our venue that day. If you're looking for the wedding of your dreams, you need to start and finish your search with The Ryland Inn. They are, hands down, the best in the game. Can't wait to celebrate future occasions with them, as it will be a special place in our hearts forever.

went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. Our day-of team at the Ryland Inn was amazing- the guests were raving about them all night (shout out to Tawny and Kat-- our Maitre' D and Bridal Assistant who are absolute rockstars)! Our guests could not get over the stellar customer service from everyone at our wedding. We did not have to worry about anything day-of, and that was a huge relief! The venue is gorgeous and the food is amazing. They are very willing to accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions. I honestly cannot thank everyone at the Ryland Inn enough for making our day so incredibly special!

any 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!

ated such a beautiful backdrop for a beautiful day. From the food to the atmosphere and the impeccable attention to detail, our family and friends were blown away <3 Thank you to the Ryland Inn for being the perfect setting to begin our future together!

guests. Have the outside was so nice and the weather made it a great place to cool off from all of the dancing! Having the ceremony outside was so beautiful also, and the carriage house where the bridal party waited was perfect. Danielle, the general manager, was so amazing! She helped us every step of the way of the wedding process, and we could not be more grateful. She truly made our day so special! Lastly, the food was so freaking good! We still have guests saying it was the best cocktail hour they have ever been to!

our many questions and being super accommodating when flights were delayed or canceled. The day of my wedding was more than I even expected. I stayed on site the night before the wedding at the Pelham House along with part of my bridal party and family traveling from out of states. The house was spacious and BEAUTIFUL. The groomsmen were able to get ready there in the morning while my bridal party was set up in the Bridal Suite just a few feet away (which was also perfect). Daniel and Jessica were super thoughtful and attentive and handled any problems without worrying me. Breakfast, lunch and mimosas were made available since we had an early morning start. Our wedding was supposed to take place outside the Ballroom but of course weather did not permit. However, curtains were set up without any issue and the Ballroom was still a perfect ceremony setting. Jessica was the sweetest when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle and really helped me take in the moment. After the ceremony and photos, the library was set up with food for my husband and I along with out signature drinks. And then the reception! We walked in to a table of food and drinks. The whole night Daniel, Jessica and the whole waiting staff checked in on us. They worked with our DJ to make sure we were on track for ending the night on time. All this to say - planning a wedding is naturally very stressful. Lara, Jessica, Daniel, Michelle, the Chef (who was SUPER accommodating and innovative), and the Inn crew were more than I could have asked for. They were so kind, thoughtful, and attentive. We spent our wedding night dancing, eating and having a ball. I cannot say thank you enough for making our night so special.

the gorgeously rustic, yet elegant setting. The fireplace and the large overhead lights were amazing! Before I could even get the words out of my mouth, my fiancé-at-the-time knew that this would be our wedding venue! We booked the space that day! It was just that perfect! We worked with Lara through the whole wedding-planning process and she was more than helpful and responded to every question that we had along the way. And oh my gosh, two words: The tasting! When we were invited to sample the food choices that were being offered on the “winter menu” and the options for “signature drinks,” nothing could have prepared us for how amazing this night would be! They Ryland Inn mimicked an actual wedding day, meaning that there was a full cocktail hour, where you (and up to four guests) are able to taste the food, drinks, & “station upgrades” that you will be selecting for your event. Then it was sit-down style where you were able to sample a full serving of every single salad and entrée option that was offered! There were 13 entrée choices alone! Needless to say, we left very stuffed and extremely impressed! We choose to have our Rehearsal Dinner on the property as well and everything with that was just as amazing! Ted was of great assistance to my bridal party and I the day of the wedding while we were getting ready and constantly came back to the Bridal Cottage with whatever we needed! They Ryland Inn even provided gluten-free breakfast options for my one bridesmaid with an allergy. I highly recommend reserving the Bridal Cottage so that you can relax and get ready on the premises the day of the wedding. It also gave my husband and I a chance to take a quick twenty-minute break following our ceremony to “take it all in” and to enjoy food from all of our various food stations that were being offered at the cocktail hour, before we met up to greet our guests. The food and drinks on the night of the wedding were top-notch and we received endless compliments from everyone. The farm-to-table food was very fresh and delicious and could accommodate individuals with allergies. My bridal attendant was Tottie and she was beyond attentive on the day of the wedding, carrying the train of my dress around during pictures and getting me anything and everything I needed, including my comfy pair of shoes to wear. I could not say enough nice things about everything and everyone that contributed to make our wedding day (2/16/19) so magical and truly a real-life fairytale!

feel of it. The food was fresh and amazing. The drinks were made quickly and were delicious. Our bridal attendant was so helpful the day of the wedding with anything we needed and Liza was incredible!!! Planning our day was so easy because of how amazing EVERYONE was. If we could do it all over again, we would pick the Ryland EVERY SINGLE TIME. -Kira & Robert Smith 2/17/19

ake our wedding day prefect & memorable. The space at the Ryland Inn is just incredible. The grounds are beautiful and the decorations that go along with the seasons/holiday are gorgeous. The ballroom is breathtaking, giving you the feeling of romantic yet rustic. The ballroom also displays large ceilings, an amazing brick fireplace, lovely chandeliers, lots of space, and natural light. The outdoor area with the fire pits, built in seating, & patio bar bring everything together. Our guests enjoyed s'mores by the fire as well as cigars. The pictures that our photographer took, both inside & outside, are amazing. Our bridal attendant & maître d were amazing & made sure that every detail was perfect, we enjoyed the night, were comfortable, ate enough, & everything in between. They definitely helped the night go smoothly & it was very enjoyable. The staff did an awesome job at making sure everyone was happy & they all made sure to congratulate us. We got so many positive comments about the staff, venue, food & drinks throughout the night and the next day... people are still talking about it all! The food & drinks were excellent, thanks to the awesome chefs & bartenders! We loved that we were able to pick a signature drink. The cocktail hour is amazing...there is wide variety of food & stations offered during this time. The sit down dinner is also excellent, we love the farm-to-table cuisine. If you haven't looked at the Ryland Inn, I highly recommend you do so. Do not hesitate to book this venue...you will not be disappointed!

r who helped answer all of our questions leading up to the wedding, coordinated the wedding day arrangements, and worked with all of our vendors to ensure a smooth day Hannah- our bridal attendant who was extremely helpful in making sure my wife had what she needed throughout the day. She also helped direct us where we needed to be after the ceremony and most importantly made sure we were fed! Heather- our maitre d' who helped make sure that our guests knew where to go between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. She provided excellent direction to the staff who were always around to attend to us and our guests. Ted- our housing assistant who catered to our needs while staying in the houses at the Ryland Inn. He helped make sure all of our guests who were staying at the Ryland Inn were satisfied with the provided foods and assisted with our luggage when checking in and out of the residence. In addition to the exceptional coordination staff, the kitchen staff was fantastic. The food is all organic and the flavor is beyond compare. I would highly recommend booking with the Ryland Inn as a wedding venue.

ove my expectations (definitely ask for her!!). Heather was our Maitre D and she made sure every detail was perfect - everything ran on time, the food was amazing, and nothing was overlooked. Ted assisted my bridal party in the morning and he was super attentive to our group and Lara was our wedding coordinator (equally as great!). As you can see, the staff at The Ryland really does a great job at making every wedding perfect for the bride and groom - we wish we could go back. However, a few ideas for the venue: - When a bride and groom decide to book The Ryland Inn for their special day, I recommend that upon signing on the dotted line, the wedding planners offer to buy the group a round of drinks or champagne to toast the moment. This very small gesture will enhance the experience from the beginning. - After the wedding is over, ask the bride and groom for feedback, send a thank you note for picking The Ryland Inn, along with a gift certificate to enjoy a dinner (up to a certain amount) in the restaurant. This is a great way to close out the process and ensure that the bride and groom + family come back and recommend the venue because of the personal touches along the way. Overall, we had an amazing experience and thank the staff for all of their hard work to make our day so unforgettable.

me with my husband. I cannot thank her enough for all the things she does (even without you knowing she's doing them). The coach house is absolutely magical. You barely need to decorate because the space is just unbelievable. The pictures I have of the venue inside & out from my photographer are just perfection!! Everyone that we encountered who work for the Ryland was pleasant & accommodating. We had so many great reviews on the food as well! After going to the tasting & meeting the head chef - I knew our food was going to be amazing. We heard nothing but positive comments about the food! Do yourself a favor & put the short ribs in your selections for entrees! There were even some of our family & friends that couldn't believe there was a sit down dinner after the cocktail hour. I. AM. BLOWN. AWAY. -- THIS. PLACE. IS. PURE. MAGIC. Do yourself a favor & book this venue as soon as possible. You won't be disappointed!

Hannah were so on point the day/night of and throughout the whole process, we are truly grateful! All of our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the ambiance, staff, food and everything in between. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day even more special, it truly was The Best Day Ever!

any passed appetizers during cocktail hour. Dinners served cold. Staff is standoffish and snooty prior to the weddings, but strangely nice the day of... While the grand ballroom is beautiful, you are paying the price for that, and not the quality of the food.

Ryland Inn that we had to book it. It did not disappoint! The venue and staff exceeded our expectations. We worked with Lara for over a year, as she answered our many questions, coordinated every detail, and re-coordinated as we made changes. She is fantastic! The culinary team is amazing, as the restaurant is renowned for it's farm-to-table cuisine. It was very difficult narrowing down our menu because everything we tasted was delicious. On our wedding day we worked with Heather, our maitre d', who lead the entire staff, kept everyone on schedule, and supported us from behind the scenes with the utmost professionalism. We also worked with Hannah, our bridal attendant, who was incredibly kind and attentive. What we loved about the Grand Ballroom at The Ryland Inn: - Elegant with a touch of rustic, spacious, tall ceilings, natural light, and free of outdated interior features you see at many venues (carpeted floors, gaudy chandeliers, heavy drapery, etc). - Spacious outdoor patio for ceremony thru reception (patio bar, fire pits w/s'mores station, great for cigar smoking also)

do to make your day the best. It is on the expensive side, but it is worth every penny.

ith all of the details. They blew the tasting out of the water--wonderful service, great food, great wine, you get to create cocktails with the bartender for your wedding day drink, and invite 4 other guests with you! We easily chose our salad and meals and were able to tweak them a bit. The wedding day was awesome! We had a few other attendants the rehearsal and wedding day, which was slightly confusing, but I rolled with it and trusted that all the right things were happening--they were! They set up the cocktail room with our stuff beautifully- we let them roll with what would look best in the space and they did a great job! We rented the Groom's Cottage for the day for the BRIDAL party to get ready and it was perfect! There were at least 10 of us in there all day. Plenty of space. We brought decorations and champagne- they provided lunch and non-alcoholic bevs. It rained, so our ceremony was inside (not my first choice). It was BEAUTIFUL with an intimate glow and feeling. They did a great job! They filled the fireplace with lit candles and my flowers. No microphones were needed. It was perfect. The attendant throughout the night kept checking in, making sure we ate, had everything we wanted, including drinks, and she also bustled my dress in the bridal suite. What a whirlwind those two days were- but I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for wonderful service and a beautiful venue. If you can afford it, DEFINITELY choose The Ryland Inn!

derful. 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!

blown away by the attentiveness of the staff. The commute was simple, parking was aplenty, food was delicious, decorations tasteful, and I CANNOT say enough times how amazing all the attendants were, from the bridal attendant who literally carried my dress around and dabbed Tide To Go on it after the photo shoot, to the kitchen staff, to the servers. We LOVED having our wedding here!

the NJ/NY area). We worked with Lara throughout our wedding planning process and she was truly amazing! She was very responsive, helpful, friendly, and accommodating. She really helped us coordinate the logistics of our day. Of course, the food is so delicious!! We were planning on having the ceremony outside but moved it inside because of the weather. However, that was actually the best decision because the ceremony was so gorgeous and beautiful in front of the fireplace! I absolutely, highly recommend the Ryland Inn!!

he grounds were beautiful, the cottages were AMAZING, the food was delicious, the service was spot on, etc! We also had our rehearsal dinner here inside the coach house and it was such a magical night. All great things to say about this place!

tely amazing and helped capture my vision. She kept my mind at ease every step of the way and executed the day flawlessly. If there was one compliant, I wasnt thrilled with the bridal attendant, she did nothing but put a pile of food on our table and seemed like she wanted to leave as early as possible. Even with that, I wouldn't pick another location and found my day to be picture perfect! I wish I could relive this day, every day!

Danielle did not ask me or my fiance anything about ourselves or our wedding vision, and the prices are certainly not 'moderate.' The cost per head, for peak season, is $185. Discounted rates for non-Saturdays or winter dates bring it down to $165. I was, admittedly, a bit in shock after seeing the prices. She did not seem amenable to any negotiations or wiggle room. Additionally, I never received a thank you email after our visit. For such a costly venue, I would have expected better customer service. I certainly left with a bad taste in my mouth.

overdone affair. This is foodie paradise--quality, not quantity. The venue is the most elegant around. Wish we had more daughters! A total pleasure from start to finish..We couldn't have been happier. And all our guests agreed! Truly special....

ding. The Ryland Inn was the only wedding venue location we toured. We knew after visiting for the first time and meeting the staff that we needed to book it. Once you choose the venue, set your date quickly as their weekends fill up quickly! If you're willing to prolong the engagement to get the perfect date they are well work the wait to book with. The food is incredible (our guests are still talking about the risotto at the cocktail hour and its been over a month!), their staff is incredibly professional, and their scenery/décor is so beautiful you don't need decorations. My husband calls them the perfect mix of "rustic classy." Thank you to the incredible team here. We will be back for dinner every anniversary!!

. We also at times talked with Lara and Liza who were just a delight. Our maitre'd Daniel and bridal attendant Donna were an absolute blast to have around and the best support. They knew I needed things before I even had a chance to ask! (drinks, etc). My guests raved about how attentive the servers were and how INCREDIBLE the food was. I wish I could redo my wedding over and over again. Thank you Ryland staff!

e worked with Danielle to plan our wedding and working with her easy and amazing! Get married at the Ryland. You will not regret it.

re evening was incredible and beyond what we would have ever imagined. And we continue to get so many compliments from our family and friends.

a and Daniel the day of, to the amazing food, the whole day felt like a perfect dream. I honestly wouldn’t change a thing!!!

onna our bridal attendant, Daniel the maitre'd and the many more staff members who helped us create a memorable day. Of course the fabulous chefs and their creative and delicious food and their service staff are also to be highly praised. From first meeting to wedding day it all went smoothly. Thank You!

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 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!!!

lighting and perfect acoustics to the incredible food and personable staff, we could not recommend this venue more. If you want your wedding to be labeled enchanting, whimsical, or magical...look no further.

was so attentive and receptive to our needs as several family members had a variety of different food allergies. The "rave reviews" from our guests continued throughout the evening regarding everything from the cocktail hour to the main meal to the attentiveness of the wait staff. Our Maitre 'd Daniel and our daughter's bridal attendant Donna could not have been any more helpful and attentive as well. The event ran as smoothly as possible and there is no comparison with the quality of the food. This venue and the employees deserve 10 stars!
