If I could give 1 million stars, I would!



If you are looking for an intimate setting, excellent care, and service to have your wedding at, The Kimberton Inn is your place. From planning, to the food and drink, everything was well thought out and curated. From start to finish, Jeff, Jay, and Maria were there helping us get ready for our special day. They think of all the little things you wouldn’t think of, and we felt we were always in good hands and taken care of. The Kimberton Inn is one of our favorite restaurants, and just like they deliver on a Friday evening date night, they delivered the same quality food and experience for a big party. It was hands down the best experience, and we couldn’t have been happier to have our wedding here. -The Flasher’s

wedding review

From the groom’s perspective, I can honestly say this was the best day of my life—and a huge part of that is thanks to this incredible team.
Everything about the experience was beautiful. From the setup to the atmosphere, every detail came together perfectly and created a setting that felt both elegant and personal.
Planning was smooth from start to finish, and I have to specifically mention Jeff—he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went right, he made the entire process easy and stress-free.
On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly. I didn’t have to think about logistics once, which allowed me to be fully present and enjoy every moment with my wife, family, and friends.
If you want a team that truly cares and delivers something special, this is it. I couldn’t recommend them more.

A Perfect Day From Start to Finish

I honestly don’t even know where to start—our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more. From the beginning, everything felt easy and well taken care of, which made such a difference for us. We were actually able to enjoy the day instead of stressing about little things.

Everything looked so beautiful, and the whole atmosphere just felt warm and happy. So many of our guests told us how much they loved it and how smoothly everything went, which meant a lot to hear.

And the food… wow. We’re still getting messages about it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and just so well done—it honestly felt like restaurant-quality (if not better). It’s rare that wedding food stands out this much, but this absolutely did.

Also, we can’t say enough about Jeff. He was there for us every step of the way—answering questions, helping with decisions, and just making sure we felt comfortable throughout the whole process. Having someone that supportive made everything so much less overwhelming.

What stood out the most overall was how relaxed we felt. We could just focus on each other and being with our family and friends, and that’s exactly what we wanted. Looking back, we wouldn’t change a thing. We’re really grateful for how everything turned out.

Kimberton Inn

Working with the owner Jeff, was an absolute pleasure from start to finish—responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day perfect. Every question was answered quickly, and every detail felt thoughtfully handled, which made the entire planning process so much less stressful.

On the day of the wedding, the staff truly exceeded our expectations. They were attentive, professional, and incredibly kind to both us and our guests. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt completely taken care of the entire time.

Our guests are still raving about the amazing food and the overall experience—they truly had the best time. We also loved having our three-piece band, which added so much energy and atmosphere to the celebration and made the night feel even more special.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless and unforgettable wedding day.

Wedding Review

We loved our wedding at Kimberton Inn. Jeff and the staff are very professional and respectful. You can count on every detail to be taken care of. We enjoyed their personal approach and customizable options. And of course, the food is amazing. We still receive compliments from our guests on how much they loved the venue and the food. Another bonus of Kimberton Inn is we are able to go back and celebrate for an anniversary dinner or date night. Highly recommend!

Wedding of my Dreams

It is hard to put words together with how amazing our wedding was. The Kimberton Inn is so beautiful. You truly do not need any decor other than flowers (if that!). The food was amazing and don't get me started on the carrot cake wedding cake they made us! It was to die for! The person who made this all come together was the owner, Jeff. He is an amazing host and was there throughout the entire process. Any time I was nervous, he was right there giving me the courage. He even fluffed my veil before I went down the aisle! The staff were amazing as well--I had quite the bit of anxiety before going down the aisle, however he had his staff right there with me with water and tissues and motivating words. Honestly, at this point they all seem like family. I wouldn't have changed a thing. We will be back often!

Perfect Day

When we began making the rounds of possible wedding venues, we were immediately impressed with both, The Kimberton Inn itself and with Jeff, the owner and manager. He emphasized from the beginning, that the ultimate goal was our complete satisfaction and unforgettable memories of our wedding day. Well, both were accomplished!

At the first of several meetings, Jeff said that either his partner or himself, would be there and coordinate every detail that day, from start to finish. By the time our day finally arrived, every detail, every question or concern, was addressed and answered to our satisfaction. But in addition to that, every question or concern that we hadn’t thought about, was brought up by Jeff, from his experience of planning and overseeing hundreds of weddings in the past. As an example, Jeff discussed at length, as to how he would work with any of our guests that had dietary restrictions, in a way that would not make them feel uncomfortable.

In the days and weeks after the wedding, our guests, with no exception, remarked about the absolute high quality of the food, attentiveness, professionalism and kindness of the wait staff and the overall guidance and presence of Jeff, at each and every phase of our unforgettable day.

We can, without any doubt whatsoever, recommend The Kimberton Inn as the venue for your wedding.

Amazing food!!

We had our wedding at The Kimberton Inn in October 2025 and we honestly could not have asked for a better experience. The Inn is a beautiful historic building (now operating as a restaurant), and the atmosphere is elegant, cozy, and incredibly romantic, perfect for an intimate wedding.

We chose this venue for the reasonable pricing, the outstanding food, and because Kimberton is where I grew up, so the Inn has always been near and dear to my heart. From the very beginning, the planning process was smooth and stress-free. Jeff, the owner, was fantastic to work with. It was clear he has coordinated many weddings before. He explained everything clearly, laid out our options, and let us make decisions at our own pace.

On the wedding day itself, Jeff truly went above and beyond. Having the owner of the venue essentially act as our day-of coordinator was an enormous help. He ushered guests where they needed to go, lined everyone up for the ceremony, and kept everything running seamlessly. Not a single thing went wrong. Leading up to the wedding, he was always reachable by phone, which gave us so much peace of mind.

The food was absolutely incredible and easily one of the highlights of the day. The wait staff was attentive and professional, everything was cooked perfectly, and every dish tasted amazing. It was genuinely one of the best meals we’ve ever had.

We made a special request to surprise my groom with a tomahawk steak even though it wasn’t on the menu. Jeff specially ordered it for him and the chef spent several hours preparing it. My husband said it was by far not only the best steak he's ever had, but the best meal he's ever had. It turned out incredible. My husband absolutely loved it.

Do yourself a favor and use the Kimberton Inn's in-house baker for your wedding cake!! I personally do not really like cake, or at least I thought I didn't until I had a bite of our wedding cake. It was the most delicious dessert I've ever had and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it several months later. She used a French buttercream that's not too sweet, and the entire thing had a wonderful vanilla taste. I would order a cake from the Kimberton Inn just to eat!!

The ceremony space was romantic and private. While it is on the smaller side, we brought our own décor and it turned out beautifully. The venue worked perfectly for our guest count (70).

We absolutely felt The Kimberton Inn was worth every penny, and we would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a historic, intimate wedding venue with exceptional food and hands-on coordination. Our wedding day went absolutely perfectly, and we loved every moment of it.

Thank you so much to Jeff and the entire staff at the Kimberton Inn for making our wedding so special and truly the happiest day of our life.

We had a wonderful experience working with Jeff and his team. They were very responsive and teamed with us to bring our vision to life — including providing helpful input on the many decisions that go into creating a memorable wedding event. Our guests raved about the food being heads and shoulders above any other wedding reception. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with a stellar team and superb cuisine, look no further!

Best Wedding Ever!

If I could give the Kimberton Inn a rating of 10 stars I would do it in a heartbeat! We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Kimberton Inn on Ground Hog's Day in 2008. Everything about the day was absolutely perfect; the owner, Jeff, was incredibly helpful during the event and in our pre-event preparation meetings. The staff performed flawlessly making our guests feel welcomed and pampered. The food was beyond delicious. The ambiance of this truly magnificent historical Inn was the perfect backdrop to a day that we still talk about with our friends and family. We highly recommend the Kimberton Inn! Jeff, Jason and the entire Kimberton staff will make your special day one that you will treasure for the rest of your life.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
