Best venue and restaurant ever! Valley Green had everything my partner and I hoped for in our wedding venue. Amber and her team helped our wedding day run seamlessly from start to finish. Amber is truly a joy and made sure we had everything we needed. Planning a wedding is a lot of work, but Amber was great at keeping things on track and making us feel taken care of while also directing our energy towards excitement and helping us realize our vision. The whole staff at Valley Green is the best and you can’t beat the natural beauty of the Wissahickon as a backdrop. Our guests were raving about the food all night too–every dish was delicious! Everything was perfect and we are so excited we live nearby to celebrate all our special occasions at Valley Green. Thank you Amber and VGI team!

My husband and I got married at the Valley Green Inn this past September and we couldn’t have picked a better location! We love going to the Wissahickon park for hiking and fishing, and while we were dating, we jokingly used to say we’d get married at Valley Green since we passed it so many times. After we got engaged, Valley Green was our first choice for where we’d have our wedding. The location itself is stunning and set the most beautiful backdrop for our wedding.
Amber and the rest of the staff from the Valley Green were wonderful to work with. Amber handled the multitude of questions, emails, and worries from this panicked bride with grace. She was an absolute pleasure and helped make our day so amazing. I also can’t say enough great things about the food! The food was incredible! We had a really tough time narrowing down the appetizers and entrees during our tasting because everything was so delicious.
We can’t thank the group from Valley Green enough and we look forward to visiting again and again so we can re-live one of the greatest days of our lives.

Last night, my husband and I went to the place we got married 20 years ago on the day. – Valley Green Inn.
As we walked around and reminisced, it was odd that not much has changed. It was just as beautiful.
On our wedding day, it was 80° and sunny. Last evening it was in the 60s, sunny, and just a picture perfect fall evening. So, we decided to sit on the porch to eat. We enjoyed watching bikers and walkers and pups stroll by.
The staff was incredibly friendly. We even witnessed them help someone inflate their bike tire. There was plenty of seating inside and outside on the porch. Most patrons were inside.
There were a few appetizers we wanted to try, but we settled on the Ricotta Jam Jar. Apparently we were really hungry because we forgot to take a photo of it. The bread came out toasted and warm, and the jam was savory with a sweet aftertaste. We would definitely recommend trying it. For the main course, my hubby got the Filet Mignon Medallions. He let me try some, and it melted in my mouth. I ordered the VGI Scampi. Very garlicky. Just the way I like it!
We were definitely too stuffed for dessert. But next time, I’d like to try the cheesecake.
We definitely recommend the Valley Green Inn for their dinner, and of course, as a wedding venue. Note, that if you are a T-Mobile customer, there is no cell service. I think it’s so tucked away in the Wissahickon Park, the satellites can’t find it.
if you go, let us know how you liked it. #trustkj

Our wedding at Valley Green Inn was nothing short of a dream come true. The moment we arrived, we were completely swept away by its charm – intimate, romantic, and utterly magical. Nestled deep within Wissahickon Valley Park, it feels like stepping into another world – a tucked-away haven surrounded by trees, the gentle sounds of the creek, and a sense of calm that instantly captures your heart. It was the perfect reflection of our relationship: natural, peaceful, and full of love.
Our ceremony beside the water felt straight out of a storybook, with the creek softly flowing in the background and sunlight filtering through the trees. From start to finish, everything about the day felt effortless and filled with joy.
The food was exceptional – our guests are still talking about it – and the team behind it all was nothing short of amazing. Amber, in particular, is a true angel. From the very beginning, her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel so cared for. She went above and beyond to ensure our day was flawless, and it genuinely was.
We loved how much was included with the venue, which made the planning process so much smoother, yet still left room for us to add our own personal touches and creativity. It’s a space that truly becomes whatever you want it to be – rustic, elegant, bohemian, or anything in between.
When we looked around that night and saw our family and friends beaming with joy, we knew we had chosen the perfect place. Everyone kept saying how magical it felt – and they were right. Valley Green Inn will forever hold a piece of our hearts. If you’re looking for a venue that feels both timeless and deeply personal, this is it.

What a gem of place adjacent to the river. Service was very good with friendly/ helpful staff. I had the steak and eggs which was very good. We did book our table in advance, so glad it was very busy. Definitely would recommend.

I love this place! We got there late just as they were wrapping up dinner service and they still served us. I think their reservations system was a little wacky. Anyway, they made us feel comfortable, no pressure and we were able the order entrees and appetizers. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Cozy step back in time vibes. I would definitely go back.

Be sure to make a reservation beforehand. The spot is lovely and the 1850 inn is enchanting. This is a great spot for a bite during, or after, a hike or mountain bike. We went for brunch and they seemed a little short staffed. Service was friendly but slow. Eggs Benedict and short rib was delicious but the eggs were overcooked. The Belgian waffle was fine. We enjoyed our meal and would recommend as part of an outing to the Wissahickon.

We usually have lunch here. One day I’d love to have dinner but it’s difficult for us to get here without crazy traffic. But every time we go, the food never disappoints!
