Valarie Sent on 06/16/2023Our Wedding Day 6/11/23
It can be overwhelming looking for a wedding venue, but Drumore Estate takes so much stress out of the process. They make something so challenging seem incredibly easy. Not only did our wedding look magical because of how beautiful the property is, but it FELT magical because of the dream team at Drumore. It truly was a fairytale, and I know all the behind the scenes work that went in to making it that way was due to Marnie and her team. Our wedding day was the day of our dreams largely because of Marnie and the staff at Drumore, and we will be forever grateful for the roles they played on our special day!

Drumore was one of the first venues we visited. After visiting several others, our hearts and minds kept going back to Drumore. It just felt right. We got married in July on a hot, summer Sunday, Drumore Estate was not only a stunning backdrop for our forever, but also, Marnie and the rest of the Drumore staff really are the dream team! They got us from start to finish with tons of support and stellar service every step of the way! It was incredible to see a list of notes come to life on our beautiful wedding day. Everything was picture perfect, on time, and just the way we imagined. No one even noticed the little issues, because Marnie and her team would ensure everything remained smooth. The staff was always incredibly excited, even when dealing with the stickier details. Thank you so much for everything you did—not just for us, but for our family and friends. Thank you for your patience and your kindness. If we had to do it again, we'd choose Drumore Estate every time. You all are the absolute best!!!
Side note for couples looking for budget info: We felt that Drumore had a really great pricing structure/package as compared to other venues. There wasn't really any guesswork into how much the offerings would cost. The venue is based on dates and guests and then everything else is more or less a la carte, which offers a tremendous amount of flexibility for any budget. -

Gorgeous spring wedding
We had our wedding at Drumore Estate the end of May and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! The venue has so many gorgeous areas that you truly can't go wrong deciding where to have your ceremony or take photos, rain or shine. The layout of the venue makes so much sense and allows for a natural flow from ceremony to cocktails to reception. It also has nice, spacious getting ready areas for both sides of the wedding party, so ourselves and our friends/families had a relaxing morning getting ready. We and our guests had such a blast and our guests keep raving about it all - the food, the scenery, and the friendly staff.
Our facilitator, Marnie, was amazing throughout the whole process. She's working on a ton of weddings, but she somehow remembered every detail of ours and truly seemed so excited for us. She kept things fun but also made sure we were on track the whole time. Her experience with planning and with local vendors was incredibly helpful and made our day go off without a hitch so we didn't need to worry about a thing. One example - we were planning to get married in the garden, but had an intricate Persian ceremony that couldn't be outside when bad weather was forecasted. Marnie and Kevin (who built our ceremony platform) came up with the idea to move the ceremony under the tent instead of indoors. It was beautiful and seemed like it was supposed to be that way all along. We're super thankful they took the time to think about what would be best for us!
I could go on but I think the gorgeous photos (credit to Janae Rose photography) speak for themselves! Super grateful to Marnie and the team, and highly recommended Drumore for anyone getting married in the Lancaster area. -

Fairytale Wedding!
Drumore Estate was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. The property is breathtaking from every angle, but the gardens in particular were truly something special. Lush, vibrant, and impeccably maintained, they provided the most romantic backdrop for our ceremony and photos. Across the whole property, every corner felt like it belonged in a fairytale! It was the perfect setting for the timeless, elegant atmosphere we envisioned.
The staff at Drumore Estate was equally impressive. Every member of the team was professional, attentive, and kind—clearly experienced in making wedding days run seamlessly. From the early stages of planning to the very last dance, they were always one step ahead, ensuring every detail was taken care of. Our guests kept raving about how beautiful and smooth everything was, and that’s a direct reflection of the Drumore team’s dedication and care!!
A special and heartfelt thank you goes to Marnie, our incredible coordinator. She made the entire process feel easy and stress-free, and her calm, confident presence on the wedding day made all the difference. Marnie went above and beyond for us in every way and was truly a joy to work with. We can’t imagine our wedding day without her. If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, natural beauty, and top-tier service, we highly recommend Drumore Estate to everyone. -

Drumore Estate is the most beautiful wedding venue in Lancaster County. The moment we set foot on the property we were immersed in the fairytale setting. The mansion is gorgeous, the gardens so well maintained and was an amazing setting for our outdoor ceremony.
The entire staff were absolutely great throughout the process. Emily, our planner was amazing to work with, she was so responsive and supportive of our vision. A special thanks to Brianna & Marnie without whom our day could not have come together. We are so excited to see all the photos that were taken as we captured so many perfect combinations of country feeling and sophistication. If you are looking for a beautiful place for your wedding we highly recommend Drumore Estate!!!!!

Janelle Sent on 06/23/2025Amazing Wedding Venue!
Drumore Estate was the perfect place for our wedding! The mansion is beautiful, the grounds are stunning, and the staff are absolutely amazing. They were there through every step of the wedding planning process with quick responses to all our questions, and they worked hard to help us tailor our wedding to our specific vision. They have numerous options around the estate for both ceremony and reception options depending on your wedding size and/or preference. Also, their in-house catering was absolutely delicious! The beautiful grounds have so many different options for amazing photo opportunities. (Our photographer loved the venue!) Finally, I cannot stress how amazing their staff is. We had an amazing day and it absolutely flew by, but we were able to enjoy every minute of it because the staff worked hard to take care of every detail. I cannot recommend this venue more highly!! -

Angie Sent on 06/21/2025Drumore Estate was the perfect place for our wedding!
The venue is beautiful and has so much variety to offer (ballroom or gardens for ceremony, Romance Patio for cocktail hour, tent for dinner, ballroom for dancing, sunset seating area) and Marnie was an amazing coordinator. She is very detail oriented and has lots of helpful suggestions and ideas with her vast experience of coordinating weddings. There is a lot that is coordinated by the venue, like linens, chairs, and plates/silverware/glasses, which helps minimize the number of things the bride and groom have to do piecemeal. It was so nice to drop all of our decor off before the wedding and then have it all set up beautifully on the day of. The weather report was iffy and it rained/cleared up/rained/cleared up so we had our ceremony in the Ballroom instead of the gardens – luckily the Ballroom is a beautiful location for a wedding ceremony that could accommodate our ~140 guests. It was so nice to have a beautiful back-up plan because it made sure that rain wasn’t an added stressor on the day. We had an amazing day and, in large part, that was because Marnie and her team were running around making sure everything went smoothly. We had a few last minute unexpected guests and I was able to tell Marnie what we thought we wanted to do and she was able to make it work for our plated meal (even though they didn’t have place cards and they weren’t on the seating chart). Drumore was a wonderful venue, and we’re so happy with how our wedding day went. We only looked at one other place before Drumore and knew it would be the perfect place as soon as we visited. -

The Drumore Estate not only is the wedding venue of your dreams, but they have the most amazing people as well. We were so lucky to have had Shayna Welch, not only was she professional, responsive, efficient, and flexible but she was incredibly intentional from start to finish and made sure all our details fell into place smoothly. She communicated beautifully with all the vendors, and everyone involved with the wedding, which made the whole day seamless. We had such an amazing wedding at The Drumore Estate, and it truly takes your breath away. We cannot thank Shayna and the rest of the staff enough for the amazing job that they did! -

The best wedding venue! 5 Stars!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Marnie and the entire team at Drumore Estate made our wedding day absolutely incredible! From start to finish, they were a dream to work with, and we truly felt like we were in the best hands. The day started in the stunning getting ready spaces, and from there, everything flowed perfectly. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful the venue was, how smoothly everything went, and how fantastic the food was. Many even said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!
Marnie was a true gem throughout the planning process. She had so many incredible recommendations and worked seamlessly with all of our vendors. She handled the countless emails from my mom and me with such grace, always responding sweetly and staying incredibly communicative. We highly recommend the Drumore Estate for anyone looking to make their wedding dreams come true—it was everything we hoped for and more! -

*****5 STARS & MOOORE*****!
We had our DREAM WEDDING at the Drumore Estate! Simply gorgeous weather and the best day and evening with family and friends.
Drumore was actually an added venue we put on our list when we were looking at our potentials. It was important to us to find an inclusive venue, so when we saw the “Equally Wed” spotlight article on Drumore, full of beautiful images, we had to add it to our touring list, despite it being outside of our original search radius. We had 7 tours scheduled across PA and Drumore was our #2 stop.
I will say that I wish our tour at Drumore could have been at least 3 hours as oppose to the maybe 80 minutes we had, but that was on us for having it in between two other tours, because we wanted to stay there ALL DAY! We met with Gabi, and she would later tell us she would be our coordinator on the day, so nice to know and have that reassurance. Drumore catered to pretty much everything, venue, chairs, rain plan, catering, pet-friendly, gorgeous overall aesthetic and such a friendly staff.
My wife Nissa and I began our tour to the outdoor garden ceremony location they have, and little did we know we would be walking down the 200/250 foot bridal walkway path to the certified butterfly garden, fountain and gnome guarded iron gate entrance. We really started to see our wedding here, the cocktail hour was cute and spacious with a Juliet balcony above and the outdoor reception tent offered the perfect place for our reception. We were nervous about the weather during that time of year, late April. They have a stunning rain plan location; at the time it was called The Orangery, it's since been changed to The Ballroom. We were so impressed with every square foot of Drumore, and it was only our 2nd stop. Our decision for our perfect venue was made so very clear on that 1 day of tours, what a relief!
Gabi made us feel so relaxed and excited with our planning sessions throughout the course of our year long planning timeline. Thank you Gabi! =)
We had our engagement photo session there as well. On a rainy afternoon. So romantic and beautiful even then! Engagement shoot pictures are included as well.
The weekend of our wedding, it just all came together so beautifully. Our photography and videography team put in all the stops of capturing how beautiful this location is and how right we were selecting it and entrusting our magical weekend to the Drumore staff.
Everything was so romantic and classy, with a touch of whimsical and elegance. Just everything we wanted. I cannot stress to you enough how reassured and happy you will feel if you have the Drumore Estate as your venue. Their video on the website shows some great overall coverage. However, it's your wedding weekend: from inside the beautifully smelling estate, an impressive groom lounge and adorable bridal suite, to the vast beautiful lawns and outdoor areas to the carriage house. You and your loved ones will fall in love with the Drumore Estate experience.
Thank You Drumore!

The perfect wedding venue!
We absolutely loved Drumore Estate and are so happy we went with them for our wedding. We got married in the fall, so the leaves made the already beautiful scenery even more breathtaking! The mansion gave the perfect vintage vibes which is what we were looking for. Gabi and the rest of the staff were so kind and accommodating and truly brought our dream wedding to life! Highly recommend Drumore for your wedding! -

Danielle Sent on 11/13/2023Drumore Totally Rocks!
Drumore Estate is the premier wedding location in the Lancaster area. If you want an stress-free wedding day, filled with love and laughter, Drumore is the place to go!
My husband and I got married on October 13, 2023, and we wanted to have a unique wedding celebration that we have called “RISTFEST”. We had a private ceremony in the garden, with just our immediate family, and invited all of our guests to a cocktail hour, dinner, and party to celebrate with us in the evening. Our wedding was laced with elements to make it feel like a concert, including: tickets as invitations, bouncers at the door, a first mosh, and, of course, merch with our logo.
The estate is surrounded by gorgeous views, and the most stunning sunsets. The grounds are impeccably maintained, and they offer the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor elements to suit whatever your wedding day vision is.
Drumore offers in-house catering, which means it is one HUGE thing you can check off your list. Your guests will be blown away by the exquisite food, and Drumore offers an array of choices to accommodate different diets. I myself am vegetarian, and Drumore went out of their way to ensure that I was well-fed and pampered on my big day.
Something that was very important to us, was having our dog there, because she was at our engagement, and she wanted to see her Pawrents get married. Drumore was very accommodating and helped us to include our precious fur child on our big day!
The biggest selling point for myself and (now) husband was Marnie and her team. Marnie goes above and beyond for her couples and ensures from the first tour, all the way to the big day that you are confident and excited about your wedding. Marnie played a crucial role in planning “RISTFEST”, and she was even the inspiration for several elements. Her creativity and commitment to helping us execute our wedding the way we wanted made all of the difference in the planning process. When we were stumped with a creative idea, like how to make a card box rock n’ roll, Marnie came through with the idea for a guitar case. Marnie is also not afraid to celebrate with you on the dance floor!
My husband and I have been married for exactly a month, and we still get compliments from our guests about how beautiful, special, and unique our wedding was. If we were doing it all over again (and we might, for the reunion tour) we would pick Drumore Estate! -

Dreams do come true♥️
Picking your wedding venue is one of the harder choices to make. If your looking for the perfect venue and the dream team.. LOOK NO FURTHER! Drumore was everything we could have wanted. It is so beautiful back at the mansion. Everyone was amazing and so down to earth from the initial consult to wedding day. So responsive and caring. Marnie and Kevin absolutely rock!! I can not begin to thank them enough for everything they did. So many behind the scenes details that I’m sure we are unaware of. They were absolutely amazing the entire planning process. So accommodating, patient, gave us so many suggestions and completely nailed everything about our perfect wedding day. Took so much ease and stress off knowing we were in the best of hands. Amazing teamwork between Drumore and our vendors. We seriously cannot recommend Drumore Estate enough. Marnie and Kevin (and the rest of the Drumore staff) are an added bonus to this beautiful establishment. Thank you all for everything you did and being such a major key role in our most perfect day. ♥️ -

Charlotte Sent on 10/29/2023Say Yes to Drumore Estate!
Drumore Estate was the first venue my now husband and I looked at. We fell in love with it immediately but thought it was more so our excitement taking over. After looking at three other potential wedding venues, our decision was easily confirmed- there was no doubt we wanted Drumore. From the start Drumore proved to genuinely care about us as a couple, our wants and needs, and were more than willing to work with us; we never were or felt like “just another couple” coming through Drumore’s doors. It is needless to say how absolutely breathtakingly beautiful Drumore’s property is. Our guests were completely infatuated with its beauty, just as much as we and our family were. Also, my husband and I as well as our guests couldn’t say enough great things about the food.
We had the privilege of working with Kevin and Marnie for our wedding. Kevin is an amazing “behind the scenes” magician and Marnie is the ultimate wedding coordinator; I can’t imagine what our day would’ve been like without them and we could not be more grateful for them. Marnie’s has a radiating, positive energy that is especially appreciated on wedding day. Marnie is so organized and on top of EVERYTHING from start to finish and from top to bottom, she does not miss a beat. As someone who is very “type A” with a need to be in control, I did not hesitate to trust Marnie at any point; she 100% had me and made my vision of our wedding day come to life beautifully and perfectly. My new husband and I can’t recommend this amazing venue enough.

Brides, look no further. Drumore was everything we could have asked for and MORE. Marnie and the staff were super professional, great to work with, very responsive with all our questions and communications. They took our vision and dreams and made it so beautiful. Between the ceremony gardens, romance patio, gorgeous tent, you cannot get enough of the magnificent grounds and scenery that Drumore has to offer. Guests will be talking about our wedding for years to come. All the stars and love we can give, love The Powell’s! -

This was a small wedding reception for 35 guests in the beautiful Drumore Estates.
Our Event Planner, Marcie Duncan, was very helpful in helping us with the plans and was supportive of our accommodation requests. The Drumore Estates is a most beautiful venue for any size and type of event. The food was excellent and our our modification of dining was well done. And the servers were excellent. Marnie provided us with possible vendors and the added props provided by Kevin and Marnie made the room tastefully attractive. Highly recommended -

Sarah Sent on 08/02/2023Straight out of a Fairytale!
I had always dreamed of having the perfect fairytale wedding when I was a little girl, at a gigantic castle with hundreds of gardens and a beautiful aisle to walk down. Drumore Estate certainly isn’t a royal castle, but I would be lying if I said my wedding here wasn't something out of a fairytale or straight out of my dreams. I could talk about my wedding for days, from getting married, to my amazing photographer and DJ, to celebrating with my favorite people, however, the one thing I could ramble on the most about is Drumore Estate and its staff. My husband and I truly could not have gotten luckier with this beautiful venue and its beautiful people. First of all, the grounds and mansion themselves made me feel like I was a princess all day. The garden (where my husband and I had our ceremony) is absolutely stunning, the mansion is absolutely stunning, the carriage house (where our reception was held) is absolutely stunning, the romance patio is absolutely stunning, the fields are absolutely stunning, the walk from the back of the mansion to the carriage house is absolutely stunning, every single square inch of this venue is just absolutely stunning. I truly don’t think there is another Lancaster wedding venue that compares to this one. Second of all, we had the quesadillas and fresh fruit for our appetizers during the cocktail hour and the pasta bar for our dinner and they were all delicious. You just can’t go wrong with sweet, juicy fruit during the summer, especially at an elegant wedding at Drumore Estate. Third of all, and the biggest thing that I can touch on, is Drumore’s staff. These are people who will absolutely go to the ends of the Earth for you and to make your wedding the best one ever. Absolutely everyone who helped us on our day, from the cooks in the kitchen, to the bartenders, to the planners and coordinators, to the assistants, went above and beyond for us and I have truly never felt more serviced or taken care of. I would specifically like to touch on the two employees who made our day even more amazing and stress free than possible, which was Kevin and Marnie. Kevin is Drumore’s event manager, who was such a breath of fresh air and lightened up our day perfectly, especially before I began my walk down the aisle. He kept me laughing as I waited for my wedding party to finish walking down, and with my nerves as haywire as they were, that truly made such a difference and meant so much. Now, Drumore’s event facilitator and coordinator, Marnie was seriously our wedding fairy godmother. It’s literally like she came down from the heavens and I could talk about her for hours. She is the life of the party! She was always full of the best wedding advice, was always reliable whenever my husband or I had questions during the months leading up to our day, and was absolutely full of fun and laughter and was a natural de-stressor on the day of. Marnie went above and beyond to make sure nothing went wrong, and if it did, she would deal with it herself and not put it on my husband and I’s shoulders. I felt like I had a new best friend throughout the day. It meant so much. I wish my wedding day could have lasted forever, and one of the biggest reasons why is so that I could have the experience I did with Drumore and its staff for eternity. Truly the most beautiful, magical, and extraordinary venue and customer service a bride could ever ask for! -

Immediately once we stepped foot on Drumore Estate we fell in love with the beautiful grounds but it really was the people that sold us on this venue for our wedding. Marnie and Kevin put their blood, sweat and tears into making sure that every couple has the best possible day. From early planning to the week before, Marnie kept everything extremely organized leaving us to not have to worry at all about our venue. Their vendor recommendation list made wedding planning a breeze. Marnie had personal stories to tell about every single vendor on that list and why she loved them, making us confident in our decisions to go with them. When booking our vendors all of them spoke so highly about Drumore Estate and I can see why.
Our wedding day went as perfect as anyone could ask for. Marnie and Kevin handled everything from decorating, to managing guests, to day of timelines and keeping us all on schedule. I can honestly say without them our wedding wouldn't have been as great as it was. -

We held our elopement ceremony at Drumore Estate this weekend. It was perfect and beautiful! Even though we had a small event, Christina made us feel extra special from our first tour to the moment we left for home after our wedding and reception. The cake they provided was outstanding, so moist and yummy. As opposed to most cardboard wedding cakes you struggle to take a few bites of to be polite, we all enjoyed every crumb of it! The flowers they arranged were exactly what I wanted. Every detail was exactly what I would have done if I'd done it myself! Absolutely the perfect day and the staff is even sweeter than the cake.

Don't even think, just book!
Drumore Estate was the first of four venues I toured. It blew EVERY other venue out of the water for every category, including cost (out of season helped a lot), customer service (Marnie, Makenzie, and everyone else was SO kind and they truly care about making your day perfect and they think of every small detail so you don't forget or have to worry), catering services (our food was SO delicious, I also recommend Bella Manse for cake, it was the best cake I've ever had in my life), and every other aspect of the big day. I used a wedding planner (Kirsten Headland, 10/10) and she worked so seamlessly with Drumore staff throughout the entire planning process (6 months from start to finish). The venue is stunningly gorgeous and guests came up to me on many occasions telling me that Drumore was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever been to. As someone who didn't really know what I was doing...but was super organized and eager to make this day perfect...going with Drumore was one of the best and easiest decisions I made that contributed to a gorgeous wedding day. Can't thank Drumore staff enough :) -

Marnie and the entire team at Drumore Estate brought their A game to make our day nothing short of absolutely perfect. Marnie held our hands throughout the entire year long prep and walked us through every step of the way, making the process as easy as possbile. If there were any hiccups or issues on the day of the wedding, we never knew about them because the Drumore team handled them quickly and perfectly. The stunning venue speaks for itself, but the thing that makes it the ultimate wedding venue is really the staff who were all friendly, helpful, quick, and flexible. Our guests are also still raving about how delicious the all of the food was!!
I cannot say enough about how truly perfect the day was, which was helped even further by the recommended vendor list provided by the venue -- we were able to book our photographer and DJ (arguably two of the most important parts of the day after the venue) based on the Drumore recommendations, and we had an INCREDIBLE experience with all of them, our guests are still raving about them!!!

My wife and I got married at Drumore Estate on August 22,2021. We made a final decision to have a intimate ceremony that was live streamed. (Yes just us two). We chose this venue after viewing it virtually. Yesssss we booked without seeing it in person. Let me tell you it was by far worth any anxiety we had by doing that. Marnie (wedding coordinator) is absolutely amazing in every way. You are treated like family from the moment you reach out the Drumore Estate. We changed our minds several times and was accommodated each time without hassle. Marnie went beyond the duties of her job to make sure our wedding was stunning. Thank you Drumore Estate for our beautiful day we couldn’t have asked for more. Even the rain didn’t stop this gorgeous day. -

A Perfect Experience
Taylor and I were married at the Drumore Estate on October 30, 2020 and we are reeling over how perfect the day was from start to finish. Not only did we feel completely taken care of and supported, but the execution of each detail was exquisite. From the moment we reached the end of the long drive way at our very first visit, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. The views alone are enough to take your breath away. Our first tour showed all the areas of the estate that we would have access to and it completely surpassed any other venue we had visited. (70 acres of lush, idyllic landscape, surrounding a stunning home). We worked closely with Marnie and David who go above and beyond for each and every client. We felt that they completely understood what we wanted for our wedding and were willing to do whatever it took to make it happen. From the design and color of the napkins to the passable appetizers and three course meal, they both executed their roles perfectly! Their motto of "customizable weddings" is completely true and provided us a truly unique experience we will cherish for a lifetime. We cannot recommend the Drumore Estate highly enough and feel so deeply grateful for everything the staff, and even the owners, did to make our day as special as possible. Thank you so so much Marnie, David, Karyn and Bill for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Lauren Sent on 10/29/2020Drumore is the Dream Team
When my husband and I were looking for a wedding venue, we were looking for a spot with natural beauty that did not feel like a stuff wedding hall/venue. We looked at TWO venues, Drumore being the second one, and we booked the next day!! Not only is Drumore one of the most picturesque places, sitting high on the hill overlooking the beautiful lands of Lancaster County, with perfect gardens, and grounds, BUT the staff are all you need for a perfect day!! Plus, the owners, Bill and Karen are there every step of the way to make you feel like you are hanging out at your family's home!! Meghan (who unfortunately is no longer with Drumore, but still came to our wedding day because she is incredible!) showed us the grounds, talked about the options Drumore offered and sold us in an hour! We got to meet with David, the head chef and general manager as well. We were the first couple he sat with to discuss meal options and we were ready to sign on! David is a master in the kitchen!! He came up with meal options for us, and when we asked him for a more unique menu, he blew us away!! All of our guests were raving about the food!! David can make anything your heart desires and he does it well! Marnie is the best wedding planner/coordinator and she comes with Drumore?! You will not fully appreciate Marnie's talents until you wake up the day after your wedding and realize all that Marnie did to make your day perfect. We met Marnie at our tasting in February (she was new to the team and we fell in love immediately!) Marnie worked with us to plan out the PERFECT day (and re-plan the perfect micro day-thanks Covid!). Just when you think the preplanning is incredible, wait until you arrive on your wedding day! Marnie is there helping you with things, before you even think of the things you need help with! She makes the day run seamless and takes away any and all stressors/worries to allow you to enjoy your day! I cannot say this enough to any and all couples: having a human like Marnie on your wedding day makes the world of difference! We dropped off our decor Wednesday before the wedding and gave a few instructions. I had no idea what the space would look like and could have never imagined the perfect space that was created. Marnie and her team created an intimate, picture perfect setting for our day, and went along with all my crazy ideas-champagne tower anyone?! If given a thousand chances to book a different venue/team, we would pick Drumore, and this all-star cast over, and over again!
Now let's talk about Covid. Not an easy year for the wedding industry, and yet Bill, Karen, David and Marnie, were kind, understanding, and worked to ensure our day, all though much smaller than planned, was still perfect! We will never be able to express our gratitude for their kindness and understanding during what could have been a terrible time. We heard horror stories about other couples and their wedding venue/caterer. Drumore's team did not allow that to be our experience. We cannot wait to come back next year, with all of our friends and family, and celebrate with our dream team!!

Allison Sent on 09/24/2020A Dream Come True!
My fiance and I fell in love with Drumore Estate the minute we pulled up. It was the first and only venue we looked at. After the tour, we booked the next day! The estate is absolutely perfect for your dream wedding. The garden area leading to the fountain is truly magical and the most beautiful spot for pictures. We had the bridal suite all day long, and it was enough space for us to get our hair and makeup done, to hang dresses, and to enjoy breakfast, lunch and many laughs. The groom's suite was perfect for the guys to enjoy eating pizza, drinking beers, and have some fun while getting ready. Guests loved the cocktail and reception areas to eat, drink, and dance! At sunset, Marnie brought us to the hill at Drumore to take the most breathtaking sunset picture. This was our favorite part of the night. You feel like you are on top of the world!
We were supposed to get married on May 16, 2020, but due to Covid-19 we had to postpone to September 12, 2020. Bill and Karyn were so understanding during the process of changing the date. The Drumore Estate team worked hard to put social distancing and sanitizing procedures in place to ensure that all of our guests stayed safe while celebrating!
Our dream wedding would have not happened with the dream team at Drumore, Marnie and David! Marnie is the best wedding planner a couple could ever be blessed with. I told Marnie my vision and she made it come to life. As a bride planning a wedding, Marnie is your breath of fresh air. She will give you advice, cry with you, and laugh with you. She will be there every step of the way on your wedding day to make sure everything comes out perfect. She is the most enthusiastic, creative, and thoughtful wedding planner out there. You need Marnie!!
Drumore’s Chef, David, will blow you away with the appetizers and main dishes he makes. Throughout the process, he met with us at every meeting to check in on us and the menu. He was open to anything we wanted and provided suggestions to help us make a delicious menu for our guests. He even made a special meal for our flower girl who had a food allergy! He was the most kind, understanding, and hard working chef we have ever met. You need him as your chef!! Every guest has told us how wonderful the food was, especially his braised beef short ribs, we highly recommended having this!!!
We began our wedding planning before Covid-19, had to postpone, and then replan for another date. However, the Drumore Estate team worked with us every hour and minute along the way to make sure what we were receiving was what we wanted and that it was safe for our guests. To every single person at Drumore Estate who helped make our dream wedding come true, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Drumore Estate was an absolutely amazing venue to work with - especially considering we booked them in April 2019 for our August 2020 wedding before we ever knew COVID would hit. Karyn, Marnie, David & the team were SO attentive and flexible despite all of the craziness the few months leading up to our wedding. We couldn't have picked a more beautiful venue! Our guests felt extremely comfortable the whole night, the food was delicious, and the grounds of the venue make for amazing photos. I would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue! -

Dream Venue and Dream Experience
When I began searching for potential wedding venues, Drumore Estate immediately caught my eye.
This estate overflows with elegance and class and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wasn't going to settle for anything less.
I needed to get married here!
The first time we pulled into the venue, we were not turning back.
Marnie, Drumore's wedding facilitator took care of us completely. She went above and beyond to meet our expectations only to exceed them each and every time.
I looked forward to our planning sessions because Marnie was so wonderful to be around. I remember being sad that the wedding was over because I knew I wouldn't get to see Marnie anymore. She calmed any nerved I had and always made me laugh through whatever emotion I was feeling.
As soon as I was getting ready to walk down the aisle. it began to pour.
The Drumore team seamlessly and effortlessly provided umbrellas for our seated guests and came up with a plan B. They moved the arbor into the tent, escorted our guests, and the ceremony continued.
Bill and Karen, the owners of the estate were incredible to work with. When the rain poured down, Karen sweetly welcomed us into her home to stay dry until the ceremony resumed.
They will do everything in their power to make sure your day goes exactly how you envision it. It was perfect!
Our guests are still raving over the experience. The food was to die for and the beauty of the estate and grounds is dreamy or as I would say, "like a scene out of a movie".
It is a day I will never forget and I am so grateful to have had our wedding at Drumore Estate.
Thank you so much!!! -

I can’t say enough good things about Drumore Estate and the staff! We didn’t have much time when we found this venue, but Marnie, David, Karyn, and Bill made our special day happen and it was even better than we could have imagined. First of all, the venue is absolutely amazing and you can’t beat the views along with the beautiful estate itself. The garden where the ceremony was held was just perfect with all the flowers and even butterflies in the background! The reception was a blast in the outdoor tent and dance floor surrounded by twinkle lights to set the mood. I can also honestly say the food here is the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding. David is an incredible chef and my guests raved about the meal. Marnie is THE BEST. She was so helpful and fun to work with and we could not have had the day we did without her! The owners, Karyn and Bill, were also there to help out and make our day special and our guests happy. They were a pleasure to work with! I would 100% recommend Drumore Estate as a venue to anyone who asks. It was such an amazing and fun experience for us as the bride and groom and for our guests! :) -

Beautiful Garden Venue with an Exceptional Team
My husband and I got engaged in 2018 and had the pleasure of working with the Drumore team to plan our dream wedding throughout the past two years. It was the first venue we saw out of 20+, and we knew it had to be our wedding venue. We had our ceremony in the Formal Gardens, and the reception in the Grand tent.
Starting with the venue itself, it is absolutely STUNNING. All of our guests were in awe everywhere they went at Drumore. The space is so private and romantic, with lush gardens everywhere you go! You can really tell that Bill and Karen (the owners) put their heart and soul into the upkeep of the property.
As you could imagine, planning and rescheduling a wedding during the COVID pandemic is definitely an emotional process, but the Drumore team made is so easy for us. We were nervous about keeping our guests safe, while also wanting to make sure people had a great time. Drumore executed that flawlessly. Marnie (the wedding coordinator) is absolutely incredible. She truly cares about each of her brides and found a way to make me feel like the most important bride she's ever worked with. She has such a huge heart and will go above and beyond to make your dream wedding come to life. I was an extremely "specific" bride with a long laundry list of decor/setup instructions for Marnie and she NAILED IT! It was better than I ever could have imagined. Even with vendor delivery hiccups on the day of, she did not make me worry one bit. I knew I was in good hands. Our guests raved about our wedding the entire night and said it was the best, most beautiful wedding they've ever been to, and we truly owe that to Marnie, David, Kevin and the rest of the Drumore team. Our guests also loved the appetizers and dinners, so delicious - thank you David!!
As a special note in regards to Marnie, she was like a mother and a friend to my husband and I throughout the entire process. Any idea I threw at her, she ran with it. She brought all of my visions to life and I cannot thank her enough for all of the hard work she put into our big day. We even cried with her at the end of the night as we danced to our final song! She is truly one of a kind and will really go above and beyond to make sure your wedding at Drumore is all you wanted and more.
We cannot wait to go back to Drumore in the future (maybe for a baby shower!) and see the team again.
Thank you Drumore! -

Kari Sent on 11/20/2019Couldn't have asked for more!
I cannot even put into words how amazing our entire wedding day was. Drumore Estate is absolutely breathtaking! And their team are true professionals! The owner, Karen takes immaculate care of her grounds and is constantly updating, decorating and landscaping. Each area of Drumore Estate is more gorgeous than the last!
When you sign with Drumore, you become part of their family. We truly could not have asked for a better wedding experience with them. They blew any expectations we had out of the water! We woke up the day after our wedding in awe of how well everything went and how much the entire Drumore team cared. Our wedding planner Brittany was so on the ball and walked us through everything from the initial planning to late into the reception! We would recommend them 1,000 times!
We were worried about the time of year - we got married Saturday, 10/26/19 with the ceremony in the garden and the reception under their tent. We were worried the tent wouldn't still be up for our wedding but Karen put our fear at ease! Even when it was lightly raining at the beginning of the ceremony - the Drumore team was wiping the seats off until the last guest sat.
Oh, and of course, their STAR EMPLOYEES and hit of our wedding - Karen's pups! She has the most adorable and sweet Boston Terriers! -

Amazing wedding day thanks to Drumore
Drumore Estate was AMAZING! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is amazing to work with. I wish I could relive my wedding day over and over. The bridal suite was stunning & I know my groom had a blast in his suite as well. Drumore did our catering and there was nothing but good things to say about the food. Everyone loved it! They are very accommodating and flexible- for example, my dad and I had our dance choreographed and Drumore was happy to welcome us the morning before to practice on the patio. Every email I sent with a question, I always got a response back right away.
So many good things to say about the staff and the beauty of the venue! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone during any season! -

Gorgeous Grounds-Perfect Wedding Venue!
When we first toured Drumore Estate we fell in love with the grounds, especially the gardens. I remember my husband saying to me on our drive home he could see us getting married there! They offered tiered pricing based on the number of guests we were having, and in addition to booking a Friday date we were able to book a beautiful venue at a decent price. They even added brick pavers to the ceremony and reception areas since we booked, which helped keep us outside even when the grounds were damp. We found the catering tasting in January helpful for making our final menu choices, and our parents enjoyed seeing the venue then. Drumore was so flexible with everything, and even made my mom’s homemade macaroni and cheese recipe as one of our side dishes. The planning meetings were also very beneficial for keeping us on track, and our coordinator Brittany was organized and prepared for each one. She helped our rehearsal and wedding day run so smoothly, put all our decor out perfectly, and packed up all our things at the end of the night so we could easily pick them up the next day. Since our wedding all of our guests have been telling us how AMAZING both the venue and food was. Thank you to the entire Drumore team for making our wedding day one we’ll never forget! -

The grounds are BEAUTIFUL!
My husband and I had an amazing experience with the team at Drumore Estate. Brittany was our coordinator, and was so attentive to our vision. We showed her pictures and described our perfect wedding day and helped execute exactly what we wanted!
The day of our wedding it was raining all the way up until ceremony time. We were insistent on having the ceremony outside in the garden, so the staff did their best to accommodate us. They were able to give our guests an area indoors to wait out the rain and it was so worth it! The outdoor ceremony was so beautiful!
The cocktail hour we did move to inside, but Brittany made the area beautiful with a welcome table. The grand tent was filled with candles and greenery as we were introduced for the first time. It was so romantic! We also had use of a massive bridal suite and grooms lounge for the entirety of the day, where we were able to let our ring bearer take a nap and our puppy who was included in the ceremony a place to relax. We highly recommend an outdoor wedding at Drumore Estate! -

Since our original tour of the Drumore was on the coordinator's off day, we had the pleasure of meeting and being taken around by Karyn. She has so much pride in her home and business, and she also truly loves weddings, down to the most minute details. We instantly knew we would have so much fun planning our wedding with the team at the Drumore, and we were not disappointed. They are connected to a network of vendors who are some of the kindest and most creative people we have had the pleasure of working with. From start to finish, we could not have asked for a better venue or group of people for our wedding day. -

The Drumore Estate has incredible natural beauty, but Karyn and Bill, the owners, keep it immaculate! Their entire property is stunning and they are constantly working hard at improving their grounds everyday. We booked in November of 2017, after visiting only once and falling in love with everything they had to offer. By our wedding in June of 2019 the beauty had only grown and my husband & I could not have dreamed of a more perfect venue to host our wedding!
The entire Drumore Team was incredible to work with! Brittany, the day-of-coordinator / wedding planner / your right hand girl, was such a huge help on our wedding day and every step leading up to it! Brittany responded to our emails the same day or bright and early the next. She had great vendor recommendations and communicated details of our day with them all as our day got closer so everyone was on the same page. She came to our planning sessions prepared and organized. We would leave our sessions feeling relieved and assured our day was going to be great! She ran our rehearsal, kept it moving and somehow managed to keep our rambunctious groomsmen in line! The day of she set all of our decorations, signs, pictures and table pieces up beautifully & exactly how we envisioned. During our ceremony she directed everyone when to walk, qued all the bridesmaids perfectly with the string quartet and fluffed my dress just as I came up the steps and began my walk down the beautiful aisle in the rose garden! After our ceremony she continuously checked in to make sure my husband and I didn't need anything! She even brought Frank & I drinks and some of our cocktail hour apps to us as we were taking photos around the property! After the party, after Frank and I had our departure, Brittany and the rest of the Drumore Team gathered all of our belongings and boxed everything up. By morning she had emailed us letting us know exactly what we had to be picked up and where it was, it made for the easiest clean up ever - which is SO helpful and so very appreciated. Karyn was present at the tasting and popped in at all of our planning sessions and welcomed Frank, me and our parents warmly each time. The day of our wedding she added small magical touches and I couldn't be more thankful for her sweet gestures!
I could go on and on about the team - Megan, Kevin, Bill, the head chef - everyone was such a pleasure to work with! They really went above and beyond to make our day so very great & we are so thankful for them! -

Drumore Estate is the perfect venue to have your wedding, not only is the Estate in immaculate condition but the people are just as wonderful. A special thank you to Karyn, Brittany, and Megan for the outstanding planning, professionalism and flexibility. Every single step of the way the Drumore team was by our side and making everything perfect for our big day.

Samantha Sent on 10/30/2018Beautiful Venue
First of all, one of the prettiest venues in the area. It definitely helps that they include a lot in your package. Unfortunately, between when I booked and when the wedding was, there was a decent amount of turnover which caused some issues with communication in the middle of the planning. However, Taylor and Julia really rose to the occasion and helped iron out the details. I was SO happy they were there with me through this process, it made everything worth it in the end. They were extremely flexible (we even moved the ceremony a few hours before it started because of weather). They are definitely on the pricier side of things, but in the end it is worth it. We saved ourselves so much stress and really enjoyed the weeks leading up to the wedding and the day of. If I did it again, even with the bumps in the middle, I would still choose to go with Drumore. -
Evelyn Sent on 10/03/2018If you are considering Drumore Estate for your wedding, look no further! A few weeks ago we had the privilege of having our daughter’s wedding at Karyn and Bill’s magnificent estate and all I can say is it was like living a fairy tale! Everything came together seamlessly and our guests have not stopped calling us to let us know how much they enjoyed themselves! Hands down the most beautiful venue we have ever been to with the most wonderful, kind and caring staff, and a day no one in attendance will ever forget! Thank you Karyn, Bill, Taylor, Roger and everyone else at the Drumore for making Christina and Dan’s wedding even better than we could have ever imagined!!!

Amanda Sent on 12/09/2017Drumore Estate is an absolutely stunning venue, which is run flawlessly by Karyn and her team. This venue is truly a rare gem for the bride looking for a unique, timeless, and elegant location. Karyn also serves as the in house caterer, and her food is amazing. All of our guests raves about the custom menu Karyn and I put together. She executed our menu flawlessly — from the aparatifs dueing champagne hour to the ahi poke at the reception to the filet at dinner. Each meal was hot, presented beautifully, and delicious. Karyn is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her and her team!
