Joseph Ambler Inn

The Joseph Ambler Inn was the perfect location for my New Year's Eve wedding. There are a variety of historic buildings and rooms in which to hold your events. The atmosphere is fun, relaxing, and romantic; each bedroom on the property is unique and named after historical people/places in the area. The staff at JAI was incredible throughout my wedding planning process. Wendi, the wedding coordinator, answered every email and phone call either immediately or within 24 hours. She completely understood my vision for the ceremony space and the reception; she even asked that the Inn's December holiday decorations contain silver instead of gold because she knew my color scheme for the space. Keenan, the house manager, went above and beyond to make sure my guests had everything they needed. He was just as obsessive about the little details as I was, and offered us a fantastic discounted rate for our guests to stay on the property. Even the head housekeeper checked in on me and my bridesmaids when we were getting ready, to make sure we had enough towels and make-up remover. The food (breakfast, appetizers, dinner, and dessert) was delicious and well prepared - not your typical wedding food. I can't say enough about the Joseph Ambler Inn's hospitality and dedication to making my wedding the most amazing day of my life. Everything went smoothly and was executed perfectly. Five stars!

We booked half of the rooms at the Joseph Ambler Inn for our wedding being held at Talamore Country Club. From start to finish, Keenan was soooo helpful and accommodating. He set us up with a whole house agreement for the John Roberts House which allowed our guests to pay a flat rate no matter which room they ended up in. Also, we were very lucky that the common areas were not booked during our weekend so we were able to have our run of the whole house! The sitting areas were so cozy and we had access to a full kitchen. When the reception was over, we were able to come back and continue our wedding celebration with our guests until the early hours of the morning. All of our guests really enjoyed the ambiance of the house and the historic feel of the whole estate. The staff was always happy to help out with anything we asked, from setting up Welcome Bags in each room, to locking up our food and alcohol in storage prior to our stay (really lightened the car load! thanks!). We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our wedding weekend!

Joseph Ambler Inn is a beautiful place to get married. The grounds make for amazing photographs. They have back up plan after back up plans for any weather situation which is great. We were lucky though and had awesome weather so we were able to get married outside. The staff is amazing, they really work with you to make your wedding day the best and very stress free. The food is SO good! My husband is a chef and is very picky, and even he loved every bite of everything. They also have great over night accommodations for you and your guests. Our package even came with a free overnight stay! If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!

The Inn was lovely. They accommodated all of our last-minute demands, they arranged for food in the bridal changing area. The food was excellent. Some touches that I liked: they gave us our own slices of cake, 1 of each flavor, both on our table at the wedding, and in our room afterwards. The Wedding Coordinator was extremely helpful, including in trying to find my parents afterwards, and in re-arranging seating at the last second for a guest we forgot in our seating arrangement. The only thing I would say is that their room service was limited, and we did not want to go out to dinner. They only had a couple pizza places that delivered. Then again, we could have planned for dinner after the reception.

Impressive service, delicious food, beautiful setting... we could not have asked for anything more for our April 2011 wedding! We can't wait to go back to celebrate our anniversary!

We just had our wedding and cocktail reception here on 10/23 and it couln't have gone better. Wendi was great to work with, very helpful setting the whole thing up - nothing was to big or small that she wasn't eager to take care of. Her service was very personalized, and I didn't have to worry about a thing!

Having our wedding at Joseph Ambler was wonderful. Wendy was so nice and easy to work with. She put my nerves at ease and made sure everything went perfectly! She made sure everything was taken care of and if there was a problem she was there to take care of it. The entire staff was so wonderful and nice. They work with you every step of the way to make sure everything is correct. I can't say enough good things about Joseph Ambler Inn.

As soon as I stepped foot on the Joseph Ambler Inn, I knew I had to get married there. I felt like I would have a storybook wedding with the beautiful gardens and the old stone houses, and I did! When we sat down with Wendi, the wedding coordinator, to discuss pricing, it was more than we had planned on spending but I decided it was worth it for us to get married there and invite a few less guests. In the end, however, we were able to go from inviting 85 guests to the maximum they would let us after working with Wendi and choosing our own food selections. We also rented the Thomas Wilson house for the night of the wedding so our guests could stay longer for an "after party" which really helped make our wedding a weekend event as all guests who stayed over enjoyed a fireside breakfast with us the next morning. Our wedding was beautiful and Wendi took care of everything and was so wonderful to work with!

We were looking for a small place to have a group of 18 for our cermeony and dinner. I contacted Wendi and she said the farmhouse would accommodate our needs. And we could stay at their beautiful bed & breakfast and that it was Friday night in March the rooms had a huge discount! It was a dream, and our guest said it was the nicest weddings that they had attended! We had the whole farmhouse to use and a beautiful table was set for the whole group to be together. We had the farmhouse from 6PM to 11PM. After we had use of the John Roberts and had a huge fireplace, could play music and BYOB. All was put together in one month. The JAI is awesome and food excellent!!!!!!!!

So thrilled that we had our wedding at the Joseph Ambler Inn. The setting was stunning in October with all the leaves changing colors. Wendi as wonderful in getting everything set up and very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed. She was also very helpful in referring us to florists, photographers, and bakeries. And of course, the food was wonderful. It was really perfect

This is a gorgeous place to have a wedding. It was great to have everything in one place. Ceremony, reception, overnight accomodations and morning after brunch. It eliminated the worries over transportation and people getting lost or stuck in traffic. The staff were fantastic and very accomodating. My husband is vegitarian and they made special dishes for him and other vegitarian guests. And I wanted a french fry bar at the cocktail hour and they made it just as I envisioned. It turned out great. I'm so glad we chose this location.

Our Fall 2010 wedding at the JAI was awesome. Though it was a cold and blustery day, our outdoor ceremony was beautiful and our reception was a blast. The food was delicious, the staff was so friendly and accommodating, and our room that we stayed in was awesome. All of our guests loved the venue, food, decor, and overall experience at JAI. We would recommend JAI to anyone who wants a beautiful, romantic and fun wedding. We also had our rehearsal dinner there the night before the wedding and the food was awesome and the wedding coordinator was very helpful and professional. Overall, the experience was perfect for us. It can be a little pricey, but definitely worth every penny!

The Joseph Ambler Inn staff (Wendi & Kelly) made my day perfect. The food was amazing, service was outstanding and attention to detail was over and above what I expected. You will not go wrong choosing to have your wedding at the JAI. What a perfect memory they helped to create!! Trust me when I say this is a perfect gorgeous place to mark such an important milestone.

We were married and had our reception at the Joseph Ambler Inn. The food was really great. The grounds are absolutely stunning, and made for wonderful pictures. We worked with Wendi during the planning, and she was very responsive and recommended some great vendors. They were not very flexible with menu choices, but the food was so good that I don't really have any complaints. We were assigned a coordinator for the day, but I didn't really see her much, and did not meet her until we were about to walk down the aisle. I was told she would be in charge of timing and cueing the processional, but it ended up being a bit of a mess, and our DJ stepped up and helped out with the processional as well as the timing of the cake cutting and special dances. Part of the problem was that we were from out of town, and did not have a rehearsal on site. I was told that this was completely fine before hand, but heard later that our coordinator blamed us for the confusion with the processional because we didn't have a rehearsal with her the night before. Overall we had a wonderful wedding, and do not have any regrets with choosing this venue. I would recommend that you hire your own coordinator for the day if you want things to run as smoothly as possible.

BEAUTIFUL SITE!!! I am so glad I picked this site for our wedding. The food was amazing! They have an outdoor ceremony site, where we got married, and an indoor reception site, both of which are beautiful!

Overall, we were very happy with our wedding at the JAI. Everyone loved the venue (outside ceremony as well as the reception inside their newly renovated ballroom), the food and the overnight accommodations. It can quickly get a bit pricey, but I am glad we spent the money since it was worth every penny. They have a separate bridal changing area, which is very convenient. They also provide a day-of wedding coordinator. Meg was our coordinator and she was not only a true sweetheart and wonderful to work with, she was also very professional and made sure everyone and everything stayed on track. Only negative aspect was that during the planning process we had a bit of a diffcult time with one of the event coordinators. She all of a sudden wanted to change time and location of our send-off breakfast (that was already agreed upon in writing) to accommodate another wedding party, and got quite nasty when we didn't want to change it. Luckily, we eventually found a solution that was suitable to everyone, and in the end we were very happy with our breakfast. After this incident we continued to work with someone different and from there on our experience was nothing but absolutely positive. I can only recommend the JAI if you want to have your ceremony, your reception and your overnight accommodations in one aboslutely beautiful place with great food and excellent service.
