    Gorgeous venue

    Gorgeous venue with amazing staff. The place offers an all inclusive weekend stay. They provide breakfast, and brunch. The rooms are extraordinarily beautiful and even include saunas.

    I couldn’t be happier with Megan and Jamie as they made sure our special day was a dream come true.

    Excellent!!!!

    I had the best experience working with Kim (the owner) of the Ryan Nicholas Inn. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and she is so attentive to your needs! I would recommend this wedding venue to anyone. My wedding there was truly amazing. The food is fantastic as well. I have had so many compliments on my wedding. 5 stars across the board!

    Kim was wonderful. She is on top of everything and will make sure that your wedding runs smoothly. She is someone who will take care of everything from making sure the food is wonderful to giving your mom a tissue during the ceremony.

    I cannot put into words how wonderful Kim and her staff are at the Ryan Nicholas Inn! Our entire experience was amazing, from our initial consult to the wedding and everything in between! Kim is with you every step of the way - from what vendors to use, to organizing the rehearsal dinner, to coordinating the wedding and reception. She gave my husband and I the wedding of our dreams! I would recommend her and the Inn to everyone I know!

    Our daughter was married January 2 and we cannot express our gratitude to Kim and her staff at the Ryan Nicholas Inn. The venue was absolutely beautiful while the food was the best we've experienced. Being from out of town, Kim made the planning .enjoyable and stress free. Even in January, the grounds at the Inn were very inviting. Guest gathered outside on the heated porches and around the outdoor fireplace. We would recommend this venue for weddings, family gatherings, and business. A real hidden gem in the Greenville area.
    Thanks Kim for making our daughter's dream wedding come true.

    I cannot put into words how grateful I am to Kim for making my dream wedding a reality! Kim knows exactly what she is doing! I just got married this past Saturday, and my guest are still telling me how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly everything went. I even got married in January and it was still beautiful. Kim has plenty of heaters that people were able to sit outside and enjoy the fireplace and lights. If you want a magical venue, the Ryan Nicholas Inn is the perfect option. Kim does all the decorating and organizing, so all you have to worry about is the flowers, photographer, and cake. The food is absolutely delicious and probably the best part of the whole wedding. The best part is that Kim has all the food brought up to the honeymoon suite after the wedding so the bride and groom can actually eat! The honeymoon suite is absolute incredible and is one of a kind. It has the biggest bathtub I have ever seen and has a steam shower! The bride and bridesmaids get to get ready in the suite that makes the whole process so enjoyable. Kim even provides lunch and drinks for everyone while they are getting ready. Kim really goes out of her way to make sure you get everything you possibly want. She is easy to get in touch with and will txt or calls you back right away. She is also very honest and will not try to get every nickel and dime out of you. She really is an amazing wedding coordinator and the Ryan Nicholas Inn is hidden treasure in the Greenville area. My wedding was absolutely perfect and it is all because of Kim and the staff at the Ryan Nicholas Inn. I cannot wait to celebrate an anniversary there!

    We used the Ryan Nicholas inn for our wedding in May and LOVED IT! It was def. my dream wedding. Kim was amazing and had something if we didn't, had great ideas, and made the wedding move so smoothly. The venue is definitely the southern mansion with chandeliers type of wedding which was exactly what i was looking for. If you were thinking about getting married there i would call asap b/c they do stay booked up b/c everyone loves it!

    Fabulous, beautiful, amazing, and stress free are all adjectives I would use to describe my daughter Catherine’s wedding at the Ryan Nicholas Inn last May. I asked my daughter to tell me what adjectives she would use to describe her wedding, and her answer was a single word, “Perfect”. A wedding can’t be much better than that!

    I have to admit her answer thrilled me because everyone wants to be a part of the “perfect wedding”. As the mother of the bride, I know that a huge part of the wedding being perfect was the Ryan Nicholas Inn itself and the work of the inn’s owner, Kim Becherer.

    Kim is truly a professional in everything she does. She really wanted the wedding to be exactly like Catherine and Jordan wanted it. Kim recommended vendors that she knew would work well with them, and she was right about each of them.

    We had the inn for the entire weekend, and we loved each of the bedrooms! They were so comfortable and staying there allowed us to watch the inn change from being set for the rehearsal dinner to being decorated for the wedding! What an awesome day it was!

    The food at the wedding was delicious! So many of our friends said it was the best food they had ever eaten at a wedding.

    Kim definitely knows how to have a wonderful event at her inn. Her caring touch was evident throughout the day and the event weekend. My family couldn’t be happier with our weekend at the Ryan Nicholas Inn.

    We are so lucky and amazed that we came across Kim and the Ryan Nicholas Inn. As soon as we walked into the Inn, we knew it was it. It is so well kept, the landscape just gorgeous, and the inn itself is beautiful. Kim was also the biggest lifesaver. You don't need a wedding planner with the Ryan Nicholas. All of Kim's vendor recommendations were the best and everything came together for the most spectacular wedding weekend we could ever imagine! All of our guests were amazed when they walked through the doors. She has everything catered in house, and the food is simply amazing (we definitely recommend the prime rib!!!) There is nothing we would ever change about our wedding weekend, and we owe everything to Kim and the Ryan Nicholas Inn!!

    I got married on November 3, 2012 at the Ryan Nicholas Inn and it was absolutely incredible. While searching for a venue, my fiance and I really wanted something that could host the wedding and reception at the same place. The Inn was perfect for that. Absolutely every corner of that place is well taken care of and gorgeous. It has the beauty and charm of an old plantation home, but it's much newer so you don't have to worry about it looking dilapidated in person. I did see some other venues around Greenville that looked great in pictures but showed their age in real life and the Ryan Nicholas is NOT like that. It's perfect and your guests will love it. We got numerous compliments on the venue. The catering is done in-house and the food is absolutely delicous. There is no need to worry that you can't bring in your own caterer. My fiance and I loved the food so much that we personally thanked the chef....It's THAT good. Also, the owner of the inn, Kim, helps you stay organized and helps plan details with you along the way. She's incredibly organized and knows exactly what she's doing. She gave me ideas and helped me develop my ideas and make them even better than I could've imagined. She loves her job and although her passion may be overwhelming for some, she was a HUGE help to me, my fiance, and my parents and I could never thank her enough. She truly cares about each bride and wants them to have the best wedding possible at her inn. I know we did and I can't recommend the Ryan Nicholas Inn enough!

    Kim and her staff are quite simply the BEST! Most of our guests were from out-of-town and they all felt so welcome at the Ryan Nicholas Inn. We were married in the Crystal Pavilion and had our reception in the Main House. The facilities are exquisite and our needs were attended to before we even knew we needed anything. Having the whole day in one place was so easy and seamless.

    Kim is like Mary Poppins, keeping everything just-so and fixing anything that you could imagine possibly going off-plan. My bustle broke early in the reception and Kim was there in an instant with a needle and matching thread.

    She has weddings down to a science. Some think she is strict and set in her ways but if you ask about doing something a new or different way she is very open to ideas. She just really knows what works (and things that don't!), that's what makes her so good at her work and her events so successful. She likes to keep to a schedule and it truly allows you to get the most out of your day.

    Kim pours her heart and soul into the Ryan Nicholas Inn and creating the perfect wedding for you, your families, and your guests. Also, the food is incredible!!! We could not have asked for a more memorable weekend.

    At first, the Ryan Nicholas Inn seemed expensive but when we compared similar facilities and added up the individual costs it added up to be very comparable to Ryan Nicholas Inn, it's just more of an inclusive package. The value of the services provided and Kim coordinating everything rather than putting all the pieces together on our own is difficult to put a price on. She made my life as a bride so easy. It was worth every penny!

    I can't imagine a more beautiful wedding day than at the Ryan Nicholas Inn. (My new sister-in-law is a wedding photographer and she actually told me she had never been to a more beautiful wedding!). Love this place!!!

    A beautiful and elegant venue to have a wedding and reception. The food, bed and breakfast accommodations are exceptional. The owner and staff go beyond the call of duty and are superb. The entire weekend package is the way to go. I highly recommend having your wedding and reception at the Ryan Nicholas Inn.

    Our wedding felt like a fairy tale at the Ryan Nicholas Inn. Kim (proprieter) is wonderful and knows how to make sure the wedding goes smoothly without any problems. We had the venue for the entire weekend and it was amazing. The Rehearsal Dinner was held outside in the Savannah bar on the Friday night before our wedding. We had our wedding reception in the new Crystal Pavilion. This room is gorgeous and perfect for dinner and dancing. All of our guests commented that this was one of the best weddings they have ever been to.

    It is a beautiful venue, the food is superb, and Kim's attention to detail is unsurpassed. She cares so much and does everything she can to make sure your wedding is beyond your expectations!

    The Ryan Nicholas Inn was the PERFECT place to hold our spring-time wedding reception. The entire property is gorgeous and the proprietor, Kim, is extremely organized and leaves the bride and her family completely care-free during the wedding day. Kim and her staff treats the Bride, Groom, and their families like royalty while they are at the Ryan Nicholas Inn. We rented the place for the entire weekend- Friday-Sunday. We held the Rehearsal Dinner in the house the night before the wedding, my bridesmaids and I stayed there overnight and got ready there the next day and then we had our wedding reception in the new, and of course beautiful Crystal Pavillion behind the house. Afterwards my husband and I stayed in the honeymoon suite and woke up to a FULL breakfast the next morning. The Crystal Pavillion was perfect for an indoor/outdoor reception feel. It met the comfort needs of each of our guests. The food served was amazing as well. I couldnt say anything negative about our time spent at The Ryan Nicholas Inn with Kim and her staff. They certainly made our entire wedding weekend very magical!

    It is a shame to see anything but 5's for the Ryan Nicholas Inn. Kim has truly thought of every detail possible and makes you feel like a complete princess on your special day. This is the venue that every girl dreams of when planning her wedding. If there there 10's on here, I would give this venue all 10's across the board. Everything ran so smoothly and my planning was effortless thanks to all of the hard work that Kim and her staff do. She knows what works and what doesn't in this mansion, and I suggest taking her word for it. If anyone had a poor experience it was probably due to them going against a suggestion from Kim. She was booked for 15 months when we booked, I think that speaks for itself. I wish all of my friends could afford to get married here, it was a dream come true!

    The Ryan Nicholas Inn is a beautiful house that will create your dream wedding!! Kim helps take care of every last detail to make sure you don't forget a thing. For someone who was planning the wedding many miles away and not being from the area, Kim helped me find other important people who would make our wedding day one we will never forget! The staff is extremely professional and attentive. I can't think of anything negative to say about the Ryan Nicholas because everything turned out beautifully!

    The Ryan Nicholas Inn was amazing! We got so many compliments the atmosphere and the food. Kim is the lady that owns the Inn and has a lot of experience. She gave us great advice and helped us pick the best vendors for our needs. She also went out of her way to act as our wedding coordinator. I recomend anyone doing their wedding here if you can!

    Where do I begin?! The Ryan Nicholas Inn is the most perfect place for an event, especially for an intimate wedding ceremony and reception. Our wedding was held there on November 8, 2008 and we could not be more happy with the outcome! Greg and I were going to elope and then decided (based on family) to hold a wedding at the Inn - we will never be sorry for that decision.
    The owner, Kim, is truly talented - she is brilliant, professional, personable and fun to work with in planning an event. She understands the stress of planning a wedding and bends over backwards to make sure that you do not feel a smidge of stress!
    Her staff offers impeccable service - they are kind, professional and amazing at what they do. Her chef is incredible - I cannot tell you how many compliments we got on the food. Too many times you go to a wedding and the food is not memorable - this is NOT the case with the chef and his food at the Ryan Nicholas Inn - his food melted in our mouths. I highly recommend his shrimp and grits as well as beef tenderloin. The scalloped potatoes were a winner with us too (actually we loved it all).
    Kim's attention to detail impressed us - she remembered us mentioning that one of our favorite desserts to make together is peanut butter rice krispy treats with chocolate melted on top. Well, after the big evening, we found a plate of those delicious treats made for us by her chef and oh my, they were scrumptious!
    Kim also knows that it is rare for a bride and groom to eat through out the night, so she had large portions of every food served taken and kept warm in our suite for eating later in the evening! Wow, we were most grateful for that service!
    The Inn was decorated for Christmas for our wedding - Kim spares no expense on her gorgeous decorations for the Inn. Our wedding felt so magical, romantic and intimate!
    I cannot thank Kim enough for her hard work, kindness and love!! Our wedding was the best moment of our lives (to this point) and we will never forget how special it was at the Inn!

    Thank you Kim!!
    Heather and Greg

    Kim did a wonderful job on my daughter's wedding! We highly recommend The Ryan Nicholas Inn to anyone who wants a stress-free, beautiful event! The food was fantastic, the decor and the setting was perfect. Kim made the day special for everyone, and easy for the bride and her mother! What more could you ask for? A very reasonable price... you get that with the Ryan Nicholas Inn as well. My daughter's wedding was a magical evening that everyone enjoyed. So happy we made this choice.
