Valley Green Inn

incredible, the setup was great, and Amber was incredibly helpful for both the major planning events and the small nagging tasks that popped up around the wedding. Would highly recommend.

dding cake, which helps streamline planning and makes things MUCH less stressful. The food is fantastic (multiple guests commented on this). And of course the Wissahickon is gorgeous. We truly could not have asked for a better experience!

ful. Amber, the Event Manager, is especially a joy to work with. She is super responsive and always kept the energy level high. She made it feel like we were the only couple she was working with at any given time. The food, drinks, and service were all fantastic and the venue is beautiful. The power went out during the reception due to the crazy storm and the VGI team had the power back up and the party back on in literally less than a minute thanks to a backup generator. They seem ready to handle any scenario with ease. VGI was also very receptive to our ideas and the DIY nature of our decor. 10/10 venue!

t venue. Everyone on the VGI team, including Amber, the bartenders, the servers, and the chef, was incredibly professional and friendly. They were a joy to work with throughout the planning process and on the day itself. A thunder storm came through right when we were supposed to walk down the aisle and the VGI team flipped cocktail hour with the ceremony time so that our guests could wait out the storm under the tent. We ended up having a beautiful sunset ceremony on the creek. It was a perfect summer evening wedding and it felt like we had the park to ourselves. The reception area is covered and well protected from heat and bugs. The s'mores/fire pit was AWESOME. We cannot thank the VGI team enough for all they did to make our special day happen. Looking back at our wedding, there is absolutely nothing we would change.

etting to work with her is itself reason enough to choose Valley Green Inn for your wedding. Amber is such a joy and brought so much kindness and positive energy to the entire wedding planning process, especially the big day! We can't wait to visit again soon.

ich we used) and was always available for a call to go over details. Her expertise is unmatched and her attention to detail helped give us the wedding of our dreams! The food was amazing. Our guests still talk about how much they loved the Chicken Marsala! And the bar and wait staff were attentive all night. The venue itself if amazingly beautiful. The ceremony space by the stream is so picturesque. And the surrounding park gives you endless opportunities for beautiful photographs. The team sets the space so that we were able to fit 147 guests comfortably with more than enough space for dancing. Thank you to Amber and the Valley Green Inn team for an amazing night!

s on point without feeling rushed. For an all outdoor event, the heaters for the dining area and the s’mores fire pit certainly kept the atmosphere comfortable. We are still getting great comments about the amazing venue and the delicious food. Thank you Valley Green for such a memorable day!

and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect. You can’t beat the stunning location, amazing food, fun games and s’mores!! Book your wedding here now if you can!!

ince we did not have a wedding planner. The space was perfect for our small wedding of ~50 guests. The creekside ceremony space was beautiful in the June evening (just beware of the geese). All of the staff were incredibly friendly and the food was a hit among our diverse friends and families.

, everything was perfect and we heard compliments from our guests all night long. To top it all off, the coordinator, Amber, was incredible. She made everything so easy for us along the way, always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had all the way through the end of the wedding night. Her positivity and enthusiasm made our jobs so much easier and made the night worry-free!

aff and coordinator Amber are amazing. We had to postpone due to Covid and Amber would call just to check in. They worked with everything we had and any issue that arose. We could not have asked for a more perfect day! Location, coordinator and inn staff are absolutely wonderful!

ng 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.

election, decor, and timeline for the day. We got married two days after a hurricane came through, and Amber kept us up to date on clean-up efforts and whether our ceremony would need to be moved. Luckily the Friends of Wissahickon and parks dept. cleaned up the flooded area and we were able to have our ceremony right next to the water.

ed due to COVID and then changed some details around. The space was beautiful and our guests also loved being able to walk outside. Thank you so much for all your help, Amber!

delicious. Everything was perfect!

y a perfect place to have your wedding.

ded to do a small intimate ceremony this year. Originally we were only supposed to have our ceremony there but the day before our reception venue cancelled on us. I contacted Amber and she immediately put me at ease. She had a quote over to us in less than two hours and assured me not to worry she had it all taken care of. The day turned out absolutely perfect. Amber handled the whole event herself from decorating, to taking orders, and serving and she didn't miss a beat. The food was delicious and the location is absolutely beautiful. If you are thinking of having your wedding here do no hesitate!

verything flowed seamlessly even with some unpredictable weather on our day. We had a Christmas wedding and the greenhouse space was perfect! Every one of our guests is still commenting on how much fun they had and how beautiful everything was! Thank you Valley Green Inn!

character. The VGI staff (specifically Catie) was super responsive, flexible and overly accommodating. VGI truly allowed us to create our wedding vision within their space. We brought in farm tables, chivari chairs, food trucks, lantern lighting, and more - to really make the space our own. Catie worked with me on budget and through every step of the wedding planning journey. She acted as my own personal wedding coordinator. It was wonderful. Thank you to Valley Green Inn for our dream wedding day! The best part is - we will be coming back every year for our wedding anniversary dinner and you're amazing food.

flowed so seamlessly. Amber and team ran around that night and made sure everything was going according to plan. Our wedding night was a little colder than anticipated and they did everything to make sure our guests were comfortable. We've gotten nothing but compliments on the food and the experience. I cannot recommend Valley Green enough if you are looking for an elegant, rustic wedding.

thanks to Amber and her team. The food was excellent, especially the mini cheese steak apps. The venue is absolutely beautiful. You have access to the entire inn (depending on what package you choose), and a covered outdoor patio with a permanent tent with beautiful string lights and heaters. The VGI lets you use their lanterns, tea light candles, lawn games, and more. Amber lead us through the whole process and made sure everything was perfect. We would have been lost without her. Highly highly recommend!

tire planning experience, she was amazing! She went out of her way to make sure our wedding was perfect- and it was beyond perfect. The food was amazing, the service too! Catie even helped with the decorating. I can't tell you how many times she put me at ease through the stressful process of planning a wedding, every little worry that popped into my head, Catie already had a plan and solution for. I can't recommend her services enough! I also would highly recommend the Valley Green Inn as a venue. It was absolutely beautiful. Better than I ever imagined. Thanks for everything!

ng coordinator left Valley Green Inn without notifying us, and we were pretty upset that this happened. But I'd like to praise Amber, because she took over in a seamless transition that was unnoticeable to us. She was exceptional - she clearly communicated with transparency and honesty, made herself readily available, and put our worries at ease about situations such as parking (which is not the easiest at Vally Green). The location is stunning, and we were fortunate enough to be blessed with a beautiful fall day. The staff went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly the wedding of our dreams.

he Inn. Our guests, my husband, and I had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend!

was so beautiful. Our guests also loved that they could spread out between the dance floor, the Inn and the stream/woods. I would recommend this venue and our lovely coordinator 1000%.

on Creek. The patio was lovely for dinner and dancing, and our guests also loved the covered porch and the interior of the Inn. We had games and cigars out on the trail, which the non-dancers particularly enjoyed. Everything was spacious and beautiful. Katie Swann, the new coordinator, is WONDERFUL! She took charge of everything, and we could relax and leave everything to her professional expertise. She even helped us time out the procession. The room where the wedding party waited to process was cool and comfortable with chairs and tables where we could relax. There was plenty of room even for our rather large group of bridesmaids and groomsmen. Perfect!

g coordinator was quick to reply to emails and very clear in her information, she was not warm or friendly. Getting married/planning a wedding is a very emotional time and the other vendors we used were simply more pleasant to deal with and made the day very special for us. Valley Green did not offer that kind of service. The day of coordinator seemed overwhelmed and did not stick to the schedule that we had been asked to fill out. I was under the impression she would "take charge" since she had all the information we were asked to provide, but that did not happen and I felt like I was still trying to find people and get them to do things (like be announced, etc). She started our parent dances 45 minutes late, delaying the opening of the dance floor, cutting of the cake, etc. She also did not have our stuff (toasting flutes, photos, etc) ready to go at the end of the evening as promised. To be fair, she said she had been at work since 8am, so I imagine she was tired, but why could they not have someone who was "fresh" (and possibly more experienced or confidant in what they are doing) available to help. Also to note, the standard package here is for 4 hours, most other venues is for 5. You will want that extra hour. The day FLIES by. Consider that when comparing prices. Parking can be an issue and we had shuttles booked to bring our guests there. This is an added expense and logistical nightmare, just beware. Of all of wedding planning, coordinating this was the biggest headache- not all shuttle companies will go down there and depending on guest counts you may need to book more than one because only small buses can go down there. The venue is unique, the ceremony on the water was beautiful (even though it had grass when we booked the venue, all the grass was dead when we arrived for the wedding :(), guests enjoyed themselves and gave the food good reviews. I asked a few guests and I think the service they received was better than what we received as bride and groom. It does look beautiful in photos and I think our guests were more impressed with the venue than I was.

any options. One year later (we weren't in any rush) we came right back to our original location at the VGI. We booked before a certain date during a special in which the room booking fee was waived completely. That saved us a bundle! VGI is pretty all inclusive. The cake comes from Bredenbeck's and is worked in the per person price. Linens and small centerpieces were included. This took a lot off of our plate. Less vendors to coordinate! Their food is amazing. We had gone here for the very first time for brunch. That very first time was when we had first considered their location for our wedding. Their contract was thorough and not confusing. The coordinator was in contact with me as needed. I wasn't getting emailed every day and overwhelmed but when I contacted I was promptly answered. They made the process as easy as it could possibly be! We fell in love with the surrounding foliage and vibe. It set a tone for our wedding that no indoor place could duplicate. Their provided centerpieces were all we needed. The linens and tables looked fabulous with just a few touches added. Just look outside! Our guests still talk about the party. Fun, romantic, and one they will never forget. We feel the same way and would have our wedding day all over again without one single change!

r the tables, has been a lifesaver for me as I've planned a wedding on a short timeline!

as very reasonable. We didn't want to have to worry about little things such as linens, center pieces, utensils, etc. The price also included the cake from Bredenbeck's. So they took care of everything and we were happy with it. We just supplied the decorations. The food was good too. The reason I only gave 4 stars though was because of the service. Back when we went for the tasting, it was like they weren't aware of us coming. They also didn't have one of our choices that we wanted to try. Not a big deal, but they just weren't too prepared. And the staff always looks so glum. A friendly smile goes a long way. :) On the wedding day, there was no guidance as what to do before the ceremony. They don't do rehearsals so anything we rehearsed outside the night before was on our own. As for what happens after the ceremony, we weren't sure. We needed somewhere to go since people were arriving and it was about 30 minutes before start time. But no one knew where we were supposed to go for the time. Our day-of planner was no where to be found. So we made ourselves comfortable in the room to right of the entrance, where the night before we were told by I believe the manager (middle aged man, grey hair and mustache and glasses) that that room gets used for the party (we asked when we ran our rehearsal). The tables were filled with dirty plates, leftover cake, high chairs...a party had just left this room. So we sat there still unsure if we were even supposed to be in that room! No one came and no one told us otherwise. Finally we asked if we could go into the bar area because that room was disgusting. When in the bar, I spoke to our day-of planner and she said that room we were in was only used if you rent the entire inn. I understood that when she told me, I just did not understand why we weren't told where else we should have been then. We would have happily gone to the appropriate place. Even sitting in the bar, no one asked the bridal party if they wanted water or anything. In fact, the bar tender was putting on her socks behind the bar as one of the groomsmen asked for a drink. She told him to hang on a minute... I was just very surprised with how things went on our wedding day. Perhaps if the event coordinator was there things would have been a little different. She was easy to communicate and work with prior to the wedding. Either way, we were not greeted when we got there, the staff looked at us as if we were an inconvenience, and the day-of planner seemed overwhelmed and bothered. I didn't feel like they were as professional as I assumed they would be at Valley Green Inn. I was just really disappointed by this. Overall, the wedding was gorgeous and thankfully our guests received better service!

actual engagement. Tegan was amazing to work with. She was available the entire day of the wedding to assist and she was in constant communication via email through our year of planning. We found it so helpful to track everything that needed to be done leading up to the wedding. She was very quick to answer questions and often communicated with both of us on each email. It really made for great team work in managing all of the odds and ends. We lucked out with a beautiful fall day which enabled us to use the outdoor space for our ceremony and then move the party inside for a wonderful brunch meal in the porch area. I highly reccomend renting the entire venue. It gave people space to move around and relax while enjoying the atmosphere. Our guests were in love with the venue and the food was perfect. I have not a bad thing to say about my experience with this venue. I would recommend it time and time again!

sts commented on how perfect the setting was. Tegan & her staff were phenomenal to work with. They were extremely patient and accommodating. I could not imagine a better experience!

rland that it truly is! Our wedding could not have been a more picturesque with the lush backdrop of tall trees and the charming Wissahickon Creek running through it. We had a day wedding, as opposed to night, which is the best value for your buck because it included a four hour open bar (might we add that they also served pretty strong drinks, which was very much appreciated). ;) Tegan, our wedding coordinator was very responsive and organized. Any questions that arose, big or small, she was there to answer them all. We actually moved to Central PA so a lot of planning and correspondence was done through email. Tegan worked with us with such ease! The staff were also exceptional. They were truly attentive and caring about us and our guests. I highly recommend Valley Green Inn to any couple (or singles)! Whether you are in Wissahickon Creek Park to hike, feed the ducks, grabbing a bite to eat, or planning or attending a wedding, you will undoubtedly enjoy this hidden gem of Philadelphia. Enjoy!

was outstanding. Tegan was so helpful with the planning and answered all of our questions throughout the process. Kate was the day of coordinator and she made sure our day ran smoothly. We had some bumps in the road, rain, people running late, etc. and I never felt any of the stress. To me the day felt absolutely perfect and I have to thank the Valley Green staff for that. We planned on having our ceremony outside and due to rain we had to move it indoors. The reception space looked beautiful for the ceremony and I heard some of our guests didn't even realized that that wasn't the original plan. Overall a wonderful experience and I would recommend this venue to any other bride.
