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.
Location
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.

Roseanne Married on 09/26/2020AMAZING Venue, Staff & Service
I don’t think there are enough words to describe how amazing the Joseph Ambler Inn employees, grounds and services are for all your wedding needs. This year has been full of challenges for most brides and 2 months prior to my wedding, I had no bridal shower, rehearsal, ceremony and/or reception location. Enter Alli and all the amazing people at the JAI (David, Meg and many, many more). With one email in late July, Alli hopped in and helped us plan every single wedding-related event with ease. She kept me calm and answered every single crazy question that popped in my brain. Each wedding event was better than the prior, culminating in our wedding day on Sept. 26th. And it was absolutely perfect! Meg was incredible the day of creating every single space as I had envisioned, the event ran so smoothly even my OCD-self could relax and enjoy. My family/friends are still talking about the beautiful grounds, service and how it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. The accommodations / after party were perfect too. The JAI honestly offers it all with their many outdoor locations for various size events (I know I used them all), backed by an incredible team of people. I can’t thank Alli and everyone we worked with at the JAI enough for helping make all our wedding dreams come true during such uncertain times. -

Allison Married on 06/18/2022Wow wow wow
I had such a long review written out and it got deleted so I’m going to try my best and rewrite it now!
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! -

Brendan F. Married on 10/23/2021A special place
Joseph Ambler Inn is a wonderful venue and the perfect place to have a wedding. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, after party, and farewell brunch all on-site and many of our guests stayed at the inn over the weekend. The JAI staff was so easy to work with and were extremely accommodating when we chose to postpone a year due to Covid. Having everything in one place was so convenient for us and our guests and every event was handled seamlessly. The food is excellent, the property is gorgeous, and accommodations are charming and comfortable. Alli was our event coordinator and was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. She was very responsive and patient with our many questions and really went above and beyond for us in so many ways. Dana, the Inn hotel manager was also amazing. Our guests booked over 30 rooms and she helped us rearrange our hotel block to accommodate all of our guests needs. We also booked one of the buildings (the John Roberts House) for an after party and she made sure that everything was set up perfectly. Our day-of wedding captain, Meg, was incredible, and helped us navigate the day effortlessly. We were nervous about the rainy weather on the day, and she relieved all of our stress by getting us last minute access to the restaurant’s covered patio so that we could still have cocktail hour outside like we had hoped. The pavilion was gorgeous and cozy for our ceremony, and the ballroom was exquisite. We dropped all of our decor off ahead of time and the staff arranged everything for us and every detail was flawless. We still can’t believe how beautiful everything looked. We can’t recommend this venue enough; it’s truly a special place.

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
