The Ryland Inn

The Ryland Inn was the perfect venue for our daughter to be married. From the moment we signed our contract, through working closely with our event stylist, Samantha, our experience 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.

The venue itself was beautiful - it truly is rustic meets elegant and was the perfect setting for our special day. Besides being a beautiful venue, the staff was extremely helpful 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!

My husband and I got married in the Grand Ballroom on September 21st and we truly had the best experience - I knew it was going to be our dream wedding but it beyond exceeded our expectations!! From the moment we toured Ryland Inn, we sensed how special this venue was - they made us feel so warm and welcomed from the start. We were honestly so blown away by the whole team. The day of, everyone we worked with was so accommodating, on top of everything, and beyond willing to lend a helping hand. Our event coordinator, Danielle, was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Any questions (and I definitely had quite a few) or concerns I had along the way, she was always there to help. I feel so grateful to have been working with someone who truly cared about making my and my husband’s wedding so special, and also a reflection of us. As a bride, I did not have one thing I needed to worry about - Danielle and the staff made sure I was stress free and enjoying every second of the day. Any requests we had from the start to the day of were happily accommodated. The attention to detail was unmatched!! The venue itself is stunning in every aspect - it really is picture perfect. Our guests were so impressed with cocktail hour and the food was plentiful throughout the night. We could not be happier with how the day and night turned out. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. We have had so many people reach out to us about how great of a night it was and that they had the best night. We would choose the Ryland Inn over and over again - it will always hold a special place in our hearts!

We had our May 2024 wedding in the Grand Ballroom and worked with Danielle throughout the entire process. She is extremely communicative and knowledgable. Oftentimes she would respond 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!

Not only is this venue absolutely gorgeous, but the STAFF are what truly make it so incredible! Every single detail about our day was executed to perfection with literally no effort 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!!

We had Sam as our event coordinator/planner and she was such a huge part of why we picked the venue. She spent so much time with us when we toured and was amazing through the entire 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.

The Ryland Inn was the absolute best venue we’ve ever been to. Our wedding was a DREAM. From start to finish, our memory maker, Samantha, was incredibly Helpful and professional. Every 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!

We had our wedding here November 17 2023 and I have ENDLESS amazing things to say. Everything was absolutely perfect. Every single guest raved about the food and the beautiful space!

We got married at the Ryland Inn 2 weeks ago and it was the wedding of my absolute dreams!! From the moment we booked, the staff at Ryland have been nothing but incredible throughout 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!

We chose The Ryland Inn for its dedication to service. Reading through the reviews and seeing how everyone raved about the attention to details, the helpfulness of the staff, what 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!

The entire team at the Ryland Inn made our wedding dreams come true. Nothing was missed, every detail was accounted for and most importantly we did not have to lift a finger or worry 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!!!!

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, largely due to this beautiful venue and our event stylist, Sam! We had our wedding inside The Coach House and it was beyond our expectations. We also had so many guests rave about the delicious food and drinks! They nailed our signature drinks!!

Where do I begin? The staff from beginning to end were absolutely incredible and kind. This venue conducts a very professional and elegant event that leaves your guests in pure awe 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!!!

We got married here in May 2023 in the Grand Ballroom and could not have selected a better venue. It’s of course a stunning space, but the food is also delicious and the staff are 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.

We absolutely loved the Ryland Inn for our June '23 wedding ceremony and reception. We were married outside on the patio and then had our reception in the Grand Ballroom. Our guests 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!

The Ryland Inn is absolutely the BEST! The Coach House and the grounds were stunning. My wedding coordinator Sam and my bridal attendant (who was also named Sam), were so attentive 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!

I knew from the moment we stepped onto the property that our wedding would be magical. We got married on Sunday, May 21st in the grand ballroom at the Ryland Inn. The event stylists 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.

We knew we loved The Ryland Inn when we first visited the property because we never toured a second venue! We toured, figured out a date, and signed a contract within days. Every single 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.

My wife and I just got married this weekend and the Ryland Inn did such an amazing job with the entire process. Weddings require a ton of logistics from decorations to the food to 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!

Our event coordinator, Samantha Lipman, made the entire experience seamless + amazing. The wedding weekend was perfect, starting with the onsite rehearsal dinner + stay in the cottages. 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!!

The Ryland Inn helped make the wedding of my dreams a reality. We were immediately impressed with the beauty and elegance of the venue on our first visit there. The Grand Ballroom 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!

The Ryland Inn was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we toured the Ryland Inn, we knew we wanted to have our wedding here. My husband and I had our wedding in the grand 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.

Wow wow wow! From the moment we stepped foot on the property of The Ryland Inn, we were completely in love. Danielle was the most amazing help in planning our wedding. She knew what 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.

The ryland inn was the only venue my fiancé and I viewed and we just knew our wedding had to be here! We got married in the coach house and it was the wedding of our dreams! Our event stylist was Lara and she was amazing that day! So helpful and attentive! The Matire’D was absolutely amazing as well! Next is my bridal attendant who I absolutely loved, Cici was the biggest help! I can not even begin to describe how perfect our wedding was! I am getting text messages and phone calls about how our family and friends have never been to a wedding with such amazing food like they have at the Ryland Inn!

It was a longtime dream of mine to get married at the Ryland Inn and I am so happy that dream came true! I had my wedding in the grand ballroom and the entire planning experience was so fun. I worked with Sam and she was so patient with all my questions and really helped me execute my vision. The food was delicious (still receiving text messages about this daily!), the grounds were beautiful and the staff was so attentive. I am so happy the weather was perfect that day and wish I could relive it over and over.

Me and my husband had our wedding in the Coach House earlier this month and it was the most beautiful day! We are so happy that we chose The Ryland Inn to celebrate one of the best days of our lives. Our family and friends kept commenting on how unique and beautiful the space was. We didn't want a typical ballroom wedding, and we knew that the Coach House was the perfect venue from the first time we toured the property. The food was absolutely delicious and the customer service from the moment we set our date was second-to-none. Samantha Lipman, our event stylist, was so wonderful to work with and seamlessly executed the event according to our vision. She was always so responsive, attentive, and helpful! The whole process was so personalized from start to finish and the entire staff truly brought our vision to life. We are so grateful to The Ryland Inn for making this the wedding of our dreams!

We could not have asked for a better venue to have our wedding at than the Ryland Inn. The venue in itself is stunning with so many picturesque spots for portraits and for guests to enjoy. We also rented the Hayloft cottage to get ready in the morning of - there were 10 of us plus the hair and makeup team and we had plenty of room to get ready, relax, and have a snack. We worked with Danielle throughout the entire planning process and she was absolutely amazing. She was always accommodating and honest with us, and truly made our day so special and go on without a hitch! The staff during our reception was also outstanding - they were so attentive and friendly, they even danced our guests to their seats after cocktail hour. The food was was so fresh and unique and our signature cocktails were a hit. We really had the best day ever and can't thank The Ryland Inn enough!!

I first heard about the Ryland Inn via Instagram before I was even engaged, and knew I wanted my wedding to be there from that instant. Danielle was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and was always quick to answer any questions I had. Angela was my attendant the day of the wedding and was so helpful, attentive and sweet! She also helped ease my nerves minutes before walking down the aisle. She was there to help my husband I throughout the night and made sure we had food and drinks! I really can't say enough about the professionalism and helpfulness about the staff at the Ryland Inn. My guests have told me that their servers were so friendly and fun and I even saw them dancing and interacting with the guests on the dance floor throughout the night. One of my guests told me that she ripped her dress and one of the staff members helped her sew it on the spot. Everything about the Ryland Inn is incredible!

The Ryland Inn is the most incredible wedding venue and we were so lucky to work with them for our special day! From the first time we met with Samantha, she was helpful and attentive. The first time we toured there, I got chills while standing on the patio of the Grand Ballroom. From start to finish they made the planning and execution FLAWLESS. The food is by far the best wedding food out there and multiple guests said so! Everyone raved about the cocktail hour (pro tip: get the brisket!!), the main course, and all the desserts!! Our wedding was on the hottest day of the year so far (103 degrees) and the staff were incredible, making sure we were hydrated and comfortable. Angela, the bridal attendant was a literal angel. I've never seen someone work so hard or put so much TLC into their job. Daniel, the Maitre' d, kept bringing us cool towels throughout the evening. Everyone made sure we had a drink in our hands at all times. They truly went above and beyond for us and you 1000% get what you pay for at the Ryland!

I picked the Coach House at the Ryland Inn because it was exactly the vibe I wanted - I’ve been calling it rustic chic. It fit my vision perfectly, and my husband heard the food was great, so he was on board too. Planning with Lara was really easy - she was on top of the details so that I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Day of, Lara, the maitre’d, and my bridal attendant made sure the day went perfectly. If there was any sort of snafu, I was totally unaware! The food and drinks were delicious! The Ryland Inn was super accommodating with customizing dishes and making our signature cocktails. So many of my guests told me the venue was the most beautiful they’ve seen and the food was the best they’ve had - and I totally agree! I highly recommend the Ryland Inn!

To say that the Ryland Inn is a special place is an understatement! My daughter and son-in-law fell in love with it from the moment we all first saw it. It was our first and last stop in terms of venue shopping. It has the warmest atmosphere and beautiful grounds for photos. From the day we signed a contract with Ryland, dealing with the event coordinator, Danielle Gomez, made wedding planning easy and as stress-free as possible. Even the night of the food tasting was a reception in itself! The wait staff during the wedding were not only courteous and kind, but fun! They laughed and danced right along side us while making sure everyone was taken care of. The food for the rehearsal dinner the night before, cocktail hour and dinner during the wedding was spectacular. I never saw people pounce on a plate of lamb chops like that before. The wedding attendant, Angela, stayed with us the entire day making sure we wanted for nothing. They even packed us up left-over food. The way the Ryland Inn is set up, you don' have to worry about weather either. If an outdoor wedding isn't possible, they decide 3 hours before-hand and turn the inside into a beautiful area for the ceremony. I cannot say enough good things about the entire experience. All I know is that my daughter, her husband and everyone else did nothing but enjoy the day with no hassle whatsoever. I also found them to be very reasonably priced. I really believe we got more than my money's worth. Definitely check them out. I promise you won't regret it!

I had the wedding of my dreams and the Ryland Inn made it possible. We worked with Sam throughout the process and she could not have been more helpful, kind, and responsive. Our guests raved about the venue, and the food was out of this world. One cool thing that the Ryland has that I've noticed many venues do not is a full tasting, where you can bring 4 guests. We got to pick our signature drinks and customize our entire menu. Our 4 friends were raving about the experience and it was so cool to get their perspective on our menu. On the day of our wedding our bridal attendant and maître d were fantastic. They checked in on me throughout and every detail was taken care of. I truly can't thank the team at Ryland Inn enough. Choosing Ryland Inn was the best choice my husband and I made.

We had an absolutely perfect wedding day part 2 at the Ryland Inn. Danielle worked closely with us every step of the way, from postponing our wedding due to covid to helping everything look perfect the day of. Everyone at the Ryland truly thinks of every little detail - I’m not kidding when I say there was not a single thing that went wrong that day. I loved how our Maitre D brought us in to the grand ballroom right towards the end of cocktail hour to take a moment and just soak in the gorgeous final setup before they opened the doors to everyone. My bridal attendant was extremely helpful the whole day, helping to carry my train and flowers, and then bringing my husband and I a little bit of each appetizer in the private room upstairs right after the ceremony. This allowed us to take a moment to breathe and enjoy all of the delicious food before heading down to mingle with all of our guests. The food was AMAZING!! It was one of the biggest reasons we booked the venue and it exceeded our expectations - the passed apps, all of the appetizer food stations, the entrees… so so delicious. And finally the venue itself is just beautiful - we got married in the grand ballroom, and we had fairly simple decorations because the space just speaks for itself. We cannot thank everyone at the Ryland enough for our perfect day!

The Ryland Inn made my daughters wedding the most magical night of her life. The food, the service, every little detail was beautifully executed to perfection. I could not have asked for anything more. Danielle was very easy to work with answering emails at all hours. The Ryland Inn treats you like family.

This venue was absolutely AMAZING! From the tours, to the rehearsal dinner, through the wedding, everything was perfect. Such helpful staff; I worked with Lara since the beginning and she was wonderful. My Bridal attendant Tawnie was stellar!! She was there every step of the way during the wedding, to bustle, help with veil, bringing my flowers, fixing my dress, even brought be a cold compress when i was dancing because she knew I got hot!! Everyone is still raving about the food and service. 100 out of 10 all around

An absolutely beautiful venue with the most delicious food! We were originally scheduled for November 2020. We postponed to November 2021. Lara & Danielle were extremely accommodating, helpful and reassuring throughout the whole postponement. I always knew I wanted to get married here even before I was engaged. When we came to visit the venue, reality matched the vision. It is truly rustic elegance. So unique and so stunning. The grounds are magnificent and the grand ballroom is gorgeous, even more so at night. The food was so delicious! Very different from your typical New Jersey wedding venue menu. Our guests were raving about all the details of our day!

Ok, I have to give 2 reviews. We were postponed wedding from 2020 to 2021. So I will leave a covid review and day of review. Please read the entire thing. I give the a 2 for how they treated us during COVID. We were originally scheduled for October 2020 and had booked our day back in 2018. Both my husband and I work in healthcare and knew that there was no way we were going to be able to have our day in October 2020. There was a lot of back and forth on the postponement and I was NOT getting married on a Monday or Thursday after paying a premium for an October wedding. We were not treated well by anyone in the organization at that time. I understand that everyone was going through a lot, but the way we were treated could have been handled better. All that aside.. Day of, if I could give a 10/10 I would. I have to say, you really get what you pay for. The day of everything was absolutely flawless. My guests could not stop RAVING about the food, the service, the bartenders etc etc. My bridal attendant Tonya was AMAZING, my maitre D was also AMAZING. We had a guest that required medical attention. Our Maitre D handled the whole situation and NO ONE KNEW. She was so amazing I cannot thank her enough for how the day went. The servers were so involved and made the guests really enjoy time their time at the Ryland. All in all, I could not have asked for a better day or a better staff. The coach house is like a dream, everyone could not stop talking about the room, the decor, the food, or the service. I wish I could relive this long awaited day, over and over again. It was a journey to get to this day. If you want a venue that knows how to throw the best wedding.. the Ryland has it down.

We had the most incredible wedding at the Ryland Inn!!! We fell in love with the decor and the gorgeous grand ballroom as soon as we stepped inside. It has the most cozy, romantic, and elegant style that was just perfect for our fall wedding. The fireplace is stunning and made such a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony, I was actually happy it was moved inside due to rain. The food and drinks at the Ryland Inn are INCREDIBLE!!! The tasting was our favorite wedding planning event by far and we were able to bring all of our parents along which they loved. I worked with Lara throughout the entire planning process and she was great! She is very detail oriented and always answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. Our maître d Daniel was very attentive and made sure we and our VIP guests were happy and well fed throughout the night. My dad is still talking about how helpful he was! My bridal attendant, Toni, went above and beyond the entire day! She held my dress through hundreds of very rainy photos, wiped my tears seconds before walking down the aisle, and even gave me a foot massage before changing my shoes during the reception. She made me feel like a queen the whole day! My guests cannot stop talking about how amazing the food and service were at the Ryland Inn. The venue is stunning, food is the best, and the staff creates the perfect experience!!!

Jeff the bartender made my night as a guest! He was awesome! Super helpful for the large group and knew how to mix a drink!

We got married on August 21, 2021 at the Coach House at the Ryland Inn. The Ryland Inn is the absolute perfect wedding venue - they truly know how to make a wedding run smoothly from start to finish. We worked with Danielle as our memorymaker - she was extremely knowledgeable, respectful, and responsive throughout our planning process. The Ryland Inn provides an amazing food experience, everything served from the cocktails, to passed hors devours, to dinner and dessert - was second to none. The grounds provide a scenic background for photos. We held our wedding in the Coach House, with the ceremony on the lawn. Everything was meticulously planned and ran smoothly. The venue also has multiple spaces for getting ready - we used the Hayloft Bridal Cottage which was a perfect space for 10 ladies to get hair and makeup done that morning. The Ryland Inn provided a butler for the bridal cottage in addition to a bridal attendant, a maitre-d, and numerous servers, bartenders, and other staff. The venue spaces are updated and fresh while still providing a rustic-elegance experience for guests. The location of the venue is convenient to many hotels and local restaurants.

My wife and I got married at the Ryland in this past weekend, and it was truly a magical day. The ceremony was absolutely stunning, and the cocktail hour and reception were filled with fantastic food and even better service. Some highlights for anyone not convinced to choose the Ryland: -Billie: She made sure that everything was perfect, and also managed to ensure that we were not worried about anything and kept us totally calm. When we were worried about the weather, she sat down and explained to us how the Ryland Inn staff uses three different apps to track the weather in order to make an informed decision about whether or not we could set up our ceremony outdoors. Her demeanor totally calmed us down, and her plan worked out perfectly. -Sam: She worked tirelessly with us through the planning process, always put our wants/needs at the forefront, and was willing to offer suggestions when we needed them in a way that was truly helpful instead of overbearing. She is also simultaneously fun and no-nonsense. You'll have a blast talking to her, and she will also make sure everything gets done (and gets done right). Sam promised us the wedding of our dreams, and she absolutely delivered. -Toni: I didn't know what to expect from a bridal attendant, but I never even could have dreamed up someone this attentive! My wife and I swear she could read both of our minds; she was always there with whatever we needed exactly when she needed it. Toni was also there for all members of the bridal party and made sure everyone was at ease. She's also a great dancer and a ton of fun - all of our guests loved her! -Clovis: We specifically requested Clovis to be part of our wait staff because of his energy and personality. He made everyone feel at ease and provided great service while also creating a more fun environment for all of our guests. -Aja: She was behind-the-scenes the day of our wedding, making sure things ran smoothly, and they sure did! She was also so kind and made the day stress-free. I actually wish we had gotten to work more with her throughout the whole process, so I would suggest asking for her!

Our experience with the Ryland Inn was perfect!! The Ryland Inn was the one and only venue my husband and I visited. I fell in love immediately when we walked through the doors of the Coach House. The rustic charm and coziness of the Coach House 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!

My husband and I had our wedding at The Ryland Inn this past Saturday and all that I can say was that it was a dream come true! The Ryland was the first venue that we visited on our search and as soon as we left, we knew it was where we wanted 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!!

To say our experience with the Ryland inn was beyond perfect would be a huge understatement. The Ryland inn and their staff are INCREDIBLE. They helped us through having to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and always treated us with understanding 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!!

Absolutely perfect is the best way to describe our experience having a wedding at the Ryland Inn! The Ryland Inn was the only venue we looked at and after our tour with Sam, I knew this was where I wanted to have my wedding. Sam was my Event Stylist/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!

This was the first and only venue we looked at and upon stepping into the ballroom, I knew it was the one!! While we did have to postpone a full year due to covid, our day ended up being absolutely perfect!! The Ryland truly has a first class team 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!

For reference, we got married in the Ballroom and got ready at the Kimblewick house. My experience with the Ryland was nothing short of perfect. If you’re a current Ryland bride, stay excited because you’re in for such a magical day! First of all, 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.

Our wedding at the Ryland Inn was May 7th 2021 and we cannot say enough good things about the venue! To start, the whole staff is wonderful and attentive. Danielle was lovely and made the whole planning process a breeze. She was so organized and 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

The staff at The Ryland Inn made our wedding experience an exceptional one. I can’t stress how helpful, and caring they were throughout the entire process. Kim, the bartender was a crowd favorite, our bridal attendant and coordinator(s) were just 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

We can’t say enough good things about our experience at Ryland! From the first time we saw and booked the venue until our wedding day came to an end, Sam was an absolute dream to work with. We had to postpone our original date and Sam never missed 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!!!

If you are looking for an elegant and classy wedding venue, look no further! The Ryland Inn is truly a first-class venue. Its rustic yet elegant aesthetic paired with delectable farm-to-table food is unmatched by other local venues. The entire 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!
