Megan H. Sent on 03/21/2024We love the Valley Green Inn!
My husband and I adored our wedding reception at the Valley Green Inn. Working with Amber made planning our reception relaxing and fun, and we were able to be carefree on our big day! We recently returned for our first anniversary and Amber recognized us and greeted us with open arms and hugs! Will always recommend this venue! -

The best possible wedding planning experience
Amber and Valley Green Inn clicked with my fiance and I from the moment we stepped foot on the property. Amber was kind, an amazing listener, and genuine to the core. The entire VGI staff was similarly genuine, which sounds like a small thing but made a world of difference for us. They were enthusiastic about everything- our food choices, cake, decorations, even the dress. We asked for a vegan wedding which we know is not an easy ask, and the food was the most unbelievable vegan food. It was creative and delicious. I couldn't recommend VGI enough. They will do anything for you, support you, and make sure your day is the embodiment of your vision. -

Gorgeous venue, delightful team
VGI didn’t show up on basic searches for venues in Philly, but I sought it out because I remembered it from hiking in Wissahickon and I am so glad I did. Not only did it tick all my boxes of what I wanted from a venue (natural greenery, near water, beautiful views, natural light, tranquil and so many more) but was surprisingly affordable for the gorgeous location. Amber is the events point-person and I love her - she’s excitable, detail-oriented, knowledgeable, patient, kind and just all around a wonderful person to get to know and work with.
VGI locks you into only food and drink vendors - they do food and beverages in-house. The food is easy to sample through the restaurant and is very tasty. They also provide tables, chairs, plates, cutlery, linens which makes the planning process and after-party clean-up breezy. Moreover, their staff does set-up and take down. They have parking which they restricted to my party guests, and are a dog-friendly venue. One small draw back is that they don’t have a private ante room, but we happily made do with the bathrooms to change, having done hair/make-up beforehand.
Day-of, Amber and staff were present pre-party and throughout the evening. They were very helpful in setting up and mindful throughout of ensuring we had a lovely time. Rhonda for eg. ensured I had photos of the cakes before she took them from their displays to slice up for serving. Eric was very liberal with alcohol in the drinks and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing my friends happy-drunk.
I resoundingly recommend Valley Green for any event. Loved the experience and will definitely go back next time we’re in Wissahickon. -

11/10 Stars!!!!!
We could not have been happier with our experience with The Valley Green Inn for our wedding. It was an idyllic location with AMAZING staff who helped us put together the wedding of our dreams! Amber worked with us from the very beginning to make sure everything was tailored to make our event special. She made sure everything ran smoothly and on time! We had a beautiful day for an outdoor ceremony and at the reception everyone RAVED about the food! Thank you Amber and The Valley Green Inn for the best day! -

The Valley Green Inn was the first and only venue we visited for our March 2023 wedding. For a romantic venue and fantastic service at a great value, look no further than the Valley Green Inn.
Amber was a pleasure to work with through the whole planning process. She is so sharp and offered ideas throughout the process to help me stay on track.
The venue is so pretty we hardly needed any decorations. The food was AMAZING. The package includes a Bredenbeck's cake - guests were raving about the cake.
For someone who was dreading all of the work that goes in to planning a wedding, choosing the Valley Green Inn was surely the best decision we could have made. Thanks VGI for making our wedding an amazing day! -

The staff at Valley Green Inn were INCREDIBLE!!! They were very flexible with our three week planning time and we very understanding of our circumstances. We are so unbelievably thankful to have been able to meet and work with the team at Valley Green Inn (special shout-out to Amber for being amazing). We were treated with so much kindness and they were all so helpful that it made our stress-inducing timeline absolutely stress-free and full of love. We STILL hear from our guests how much fun they had and about how they loved the staff and food months out. We are so thankful for all of the staff for making our unique and special day so memorable. -

We chose this venue due to the location and meaning for our relationship. But we definitely chose a wonderful place with great staff! Amber was very communicative and supportive throughout the planning process, and was very flexible in incorporating culturally salient aspects into teh wedding planning. Day of, food was fantastic, Amber and her team were wonderful, joyful, enthusiastic, and very on top of things. We keep hearing from our guests how much fun they had at the wedding and we couldn't have done it without Amber and her team! -

You can’t beat the stunning location, amazing food, fun games and s’mores!! Book your wedding here now if you can!! -

Amber & Team Made Us Feel Like the Highest Priority!
We planned my daughter's wedding from in-town and out-of-town on a pretty short timeline and Amber and the Valley Green Inn team made it not only possible but a pleasure! All of our questions and concerns were addressed promptly. The food and service were phenomenal and our guests enjoyed the evening. And we benefitted from the wealth of experience of Amber and the team, who made us feel like ours was the only--and most important--event that they were working on, even though the venue books up quickly and completely. -

My husband and I got married at the Valley Green Inn (VGI) in April 2022 and it was easily the best day of our lives. We booked the venue during fall of 2020, and, with the pandemic in its early stages, we were not sure what the world would look like when the big day came. With so much uncertainty, we were anxious about planning a large event (especially since neither of us are planners). That's where Amber, a VGI day-of coordinator, came in :).
From the moment I emailed VGI inquiring about weddings, Amber guided us through every process from touring the Inn, going over wedding options, reserving our date, tasting the delicious food, connecting with Bredenbeck's to design our cake, finalizing our fine details, and, especially, coordinating the big day. As can be expected, there were ups and downs with planning (especially with the pandemic), and whenever anything arose Amber was there to help me troubleshoot or to be a sounding board.
The big day came and everything ran so smoothly. The staff were excellent, the decor was set up beautifully, and the whole day flowed flawlessly through the predetermined agenda. The site and my vendors all communicated well, and anything my guests needed were taken care of swiftly.
Overall, I have received so much positive feedback from my friends and family about the big day. I have heard from so many that this was "the best wedding they have ever been to." Maybe they are biased because they love me/us (lol), but I honestly think it is the truth. If you choose the Valley Green Inn for your venue I can bet that you will have an amazing day. I can't wait to go back there to reminisce about the day and to see the staff and say hi - they are the types of people that you could and would want to be friends with. Thank you so much VGI! -

I was the maid of honor in my bffs wedding and in charge of planning decor. I dealt with Amber often. Amber was amazing! She really helped us pull everything together and make sure we didn't forget anything. Even with covid and all the rescheduling her and the Inn were super accommodating. The venue itself is a gorgeous backdrop for that special day and was really a total package. Food was yummy too! I couldn't recommend this venue and Amber as your coordinator any more. -

Having both grown up visiting Valley Green with our families, it was a special place for us to be getting married & it was truly the wedding of our dreams and the best day of our lives! Amber, the venue coordinator goes ABOVE and beyond & really made us feel incredibly at ease throughout the entire process. She is transparent, extremely responsive & overall has the most positive, warm and reassuring attitude during what we expected to be a stressful time! The event was perfectly executed under her direction, the food was great and the space was absolutely perfect! 10/10 would recommend the Valley Green Inn and most of all Amber to host your wedding! -

User6701647 Sent on 01/19/2023Intimate, Romantic, and Pefect!
We used Valley Green Inn for your New Years Eve wedding in 2021 and it was absolutely perfect. From the first meeting until we got on the bus to go back to our hotel, Amber was with us with her upbeat, positive attitude and it made our entire wedding experience magical. Valley Green Inn also worked with us to customize our event since we started late to celebrate New Years Eve and we were able to work menus, timing, and every detail. They also allowed me to go in ahead of time to decorate the space since there were no other events before our night. Our wedding was the most intimate, unique and special night. We also love that we can go back every year for dinner and relive a little slice of memory from that night. This is your sign to book this venue if you want a romantic, rustic, unique and sentimental venue that brings your whimsical wedding dreams to life! -

Valley Green Inn was our dream reception venue and exceeded every single one of my and my husband's expectations through the entire wedding planning process and including the wedding itself. Amber was so responsive, thoughtful and genuinely enthusiastic which made her so great to work with. She completely understood my vision for how I wanted the reception space set up and when I dropped off all our decorations I knew she'd execute it flawlessly. All of the food was PHENOMENAL- we did a brunch wedding and it was delicious. Amber was even so thoughtful as to bring me and my husband a full plate of food because she knew we would be too busy to get some ourselves from the buffet. The space itself is so beautiful and all our guests couldn't stop complimenting us on picking such a gorgeous venue. We comfortably sat 150 guests and even had room for a dance floor- the space is bigger than it looks! I really couldn't have asked for more and Valley Green Inn really made our wedding incredible. -

The Most Perfect Wedding
My husband and I had our first date hiking in the Wissahickon, so we had decided early on that we would look at the Valley Green Inn first on our search for wedding venues, and it ended there. Upon first meeting, the Inn’s wedding coordinator Amber was not only an incredibly sweet person to deal with, but she had covered every single detail and concern we might have had, especially since at the time we were in the thick of the pandemic. We booked the venue on the spot, and I cannot express how happy I am that we chose this amazing place as the location of our wedding. It goes without saying that getting married in the Wissahickon during peak October foliage is a showstopper; nearly every one of our guests commented on how stunning the area was and how it added to the beauty of the day. But on top of that, Amber truly made everything go as smoothly as possible. She’s a literal miracle worker! We had been nervous because there was a wedding just before ours, ending about an hour before our ceremony was scheduled to begin; I’m still not sure what kind of magic was used, but Amber and her team were able to breakdown and completely set up a second wedding...in an hour...and I’ll be honest, we had A LOT of decorations. The food was unbelievably delicious, the drinks were flowing, everything was perfect. It’s worth noting too that my grandparents (who are insanely picky eaters) would not stop raving about how perfectly the Filet Mignon was cooked. The service and staff were attentive and on top of everything, but also incredibly friendly and engaging with all of our guests as well. I could honestly go on for ages about how awesome our experience was with Amber and the Valley Green Inn. But I’ll just end by saying that our wedding day was perfect, and I really believe that to be because we selected the Valley Green Inn as our venue. You really cannot go wrong. -

Amazing Experience
I had my wedding at the Valley Green Inn and worked with Amber. She was great during the whole process and made everything feel easy.
The space looked amazing. I received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful our wedding was. Food can sometimes be hit or miss at weddings, all I heard from our guests was how awesome the food was, and that was coming from some picky folks.
The experience was great, and I feel so lucky that I got to work with Amber and the staff of the valley green. I’m super thankful for them and highly recommend! -

Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to Amber and her team. The venue is Philadelphia’s best kept secret. I still can’t get over how magical the venue looked, especially at night. Amber was a dream to work with, especially during the questionable pandemic. She made us feel at ease when we had to postpone, and was always responsive and reassuring. She was incredibly sweet, organized, and went above and beyond to make our day exactly what we wanted. The staff was incredible during the wedding, from the bartenders to the chef, everyone was involved and helpful. I can’t say enough good things about them. Amber worked great with our other vendors as well, and handled all the logistics. I wish I could do it all over again! -

Would rebook 1000 times again
After attending my best friend’s brunch style wedding at the Inn my husband and I barely took a second thought at where we wanted our wedding. To start, it is a token landmark for so many people in our area that it’s beauty and classic ness was unquestioned. Second, the photos that came obtained simply from the trail itself let alone with a touch of wedding bliss added to it were enough to sell us. From there, our reception was even better than we imagined. The food, the connection with a local favorite bakery, the space itself all were pieced together perfectly. Finally, Amber, the event coordinator, and her staff. There are no words to describe how seamless our day was in no small part to Amber and everyone involved. Amber stayed organized, punctual and brought our wedding vision to life. Don’t even second guess if this venue makes its way on your list. -

Ginevra C. Sent on 07/11/2021Amazing food, location, and staff
AMBER IS AN ANGEL. So easy to work with, so accommodating, extremely flexible and fun. She was very generous with many of the things VGI had on site like wooden logs for the tables, candles, decorative lights, cornhole, and more. The location is beyond gorgeous between the cool, historical vibe of the inn, the stone walls surrounding the dance floor, and the creek out front. We got so many compliments on everything but so many people commented on the amazing staff and service. Plus the food is delicious. Can’t wait to come back for brunch a and visit with Amber & team. -

Where do I begin? The Valleygreen Inn was the first and last venue on our search. The second my fiancé and I got there, we knew! The scenery was perfect!!!! We met with the wedding Coordinator Amber. She made us feel like she knew us forever. After we signed the contract, she answered every email and every call like ours was the only wedding planned. She and her staff were so accommodating to every detail of our day. She did amazing with our other vendors. Every guest had a comment on how incredible the day was, Delicious food, we had outdoor games to keep things moving, no one stood around awkward wanting to leave. I didn’t want the night to end!!! Thank you Amber and the VGI staff for making our day PERFECT -

Ever since I was very little, it was my dream to get married at Valley Green. Growing up in the area, I'd always seen weddings happen while I was walking or biking by, and they all seemed just so perfect to me: the little white inn slightly hidden away in the woodland dream of the Wissahickon, the music drifting out on summer evenings. And it was literally everything I imagined when my husband and I did get married there. Our event planner, Amber, was so easy to be around and she helped us stick to our budget while still having the night we imagined. She helped me string up decorations the day before, and throughout the night she made sure my husband and I were well fed and taken care of. The food was delicious and the bartenders were amazing! All this allowed for us to really lean into our evening and enjoy ourselves. The location is perfect and close enough to bars and restaurants if you need somewhere to go for an afterparty. I can't recommend this place more! -
