History
In the late 1600s, William Penn owned the land. In 1711, 50 acres were purchased by William Morgan, who built part of the farmhouse. After William Morgan's death, Joseph Ambler bought the land. It stayed within his family until John Roberts, who married an Ambler daughter, acquired the land in 1825. He added a living room and dining room to the farmhouse. In 1983, more than 100 years and many owners later, Richard Allman bought 12 acres of the property. He is the current owner of Joseph Ambler Inn.

Philadelphia is 40 minutes from the inn. It is 40 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport, 16 minutes from Doylestown and 26 minutes from King of Prussia.

Reviews of Joseph Ambler Inn
Jospeh Ambler Inn Review
Awesome experience
Wow wow wow
We were originally meant to be married in June of 2020, much like so many others. Unlike so many others we hired JAI for our venue…and rescheduled it TWICE. In the four years from picking JAI to the day when it finally came, I never once considered another venue. In fact JAI was the first and only venue we toured. My husband was so impressed with their event planner at the time, Ali, that he insisted this was the place for our special day.
Many things changed in the four years, our beloved Ali moved on and was replaced by Jamie in what had to be the most seamless transition. Jamie answered my 1,307,472 emails at all hours of the day and was an absolute gem to work with through all the twists and turns of navigating wedding planning.
The day of coordinator, Meg, was equally as attentive and so so helpful. I wasn’t even aware we had a day of coordinator until very nearly the day of but in the short time I knew her she listened to every single one of my increasingly strange requests and was on the money executing all of them for us.
We could not be happier with how our day turned out and would absolutely recommend Joseph Ambler Inn for every event!
A special place
The Perfect Venue
Thanks to the awesome planning process and the day-of coordinator, Jamie, our wedding was seamless from start to finish which kept our guests happy and entertained. As a bride and groom, we especially loved that we didn't have to lift a finger on our wedding day and could truly just enjoy the occasion. They were accommodating and flexible with every detail -not to mention a COVID postponement- and truly made our wedding dream come true!
Best wedding venue ever !
Venue of my Dreams
Alli is a super star. If wedding planning was already difficult enough, COVID-19 hit and threw a wrench in the wedding planning process. Once the restrictions started to ease, the team quickly came up with plans for how to continue doing weddings and efficiently communicated them to me. Alli took all of my questions regarding the safety precautions, how we could potentially postpone, and everything else and gave me every single answer I was looking for. She even thought of things that I didn’t even think about and brought them to my attention, like whether we were providing cake-cutting utensils or a card box.
We also booked the John Roberts on the property so our guests didn’t have far to go after the wedding. That worked out great. Originally, we were going to have an afterparty, but it ended up with us just hanging around and talking for a while before everyone went to bed due to how hard they partied beforehand. Having the house was great so people didn’t feel obligated to leave early.
Our guests were amazed at the beauty of the property, how great the food was, and excited to be able to celebrate in the outdoor space. The wait staff was great and super professional. And let me give a shout-out to Meg, who was our day-of coordinator. She made sure that all of my decor looked exactly how I wanted it, handled the wedding crashers without us knowing about it, and made sure that everything ran smoothly. There were a few hiccups along the way, but Meg handled them like a pro.
Thank you to the team at Joseph Ambler Inn for helping us have the wedding of our dreams. You’ll see us back for anniversaries and random date nights.

Beautiful and charming buildings and grounds. We love photographing weddings here!
Every time we are asked to create flowers for an event at JAI -we jump at the chance. The incredibly lovely venue, coupled with the extraordinary staff members-make it one of our very favorite "field trips". Every season shines on their beautiful "oasis" in the middle of Montgomeryville- you're close to everything but feel as though you have taken a step back in time- to a place where the simple pleasures can be savored and enjoyed. We at An Enchanted Florist at Skippack Village highly endorse the Joseph Ambler Inn as one of the premier venues in our area and look forward to our next wedding there :) Jill and the entire Enchanted Team in Skippack
