Drumore Mill is a different world. It is nestled in a corner of the most rustic township in Amish Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The mill was built in 1752 as a sawmill and a grist mill. It sits in a hollow with 30 acres of tall cliffs and old trees to provide privacy, warmth, and natural beauties. There is a pristine creek that meanders through the property. The Fishing Creek supports native trout and other rare small fishes. The waterfall is adjacent to the buildings. There is a hiking trail within the property. There is wetland and much more. The combination of rustic setting, natural beauties, and historical features makes Drumore Mill amazingly beautiful. One has to see it to believe it.

We just had our wedding at Drumore Mill on 09/06/2025. It is a beautiful, unique, and historic venue. We loved it since the day we toured. The venue is the perfect blend of rustic/historic charm and modern amenities. The grounds were clean and well maintained. Thuy was also wonderful to work with - kind, communicative, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process and wedding weekend. It truly is such a stunning venue and we couldn't be happier with our experience there.

We truly could not have asked for a better experience than what we had with Alaina Rineman and the team at Hotel Gettysburg. Together, they made our wedding weekend seamless, stress-free, and truly unforgettable. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Alaina made the entire process feel manageable and even enjoyable. From the very beginning, Alaina was phenomenal. She responded to my initial inquiry within minutes and remained just as attentive throughout the entire planning process. She was always available to answer questions, walk through details, and offer thoughtful suggestions. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made her suggestions feel personal and meaningful. On the wedding day, Alaina handled everything behind the scenes flawlessly. Any hiccups were taken care of immediately, and we never felt stressed or distracted. She also went above and beyond for our guests, especially ensuring accommodations for those staying at the hotel and even arranging a to-go meal for a guest observing a religious fast. That level of care meant so much to us. Hotel Gettysburg itself was the perfect venue. Located right in the heart of downtown, it offered a beautiful mix of historic charm and convenience. Our guests loved being able to walk around the square, and the hotel provided so many great gathering spaces—including One Lincoln, the Hotel’s own bar and restaurant. The on-site Starbucks was also a huge bonus! The on-site catering was also exquisite. We chose to do a buffet and the food choices were all delicious! Many of our guests returned for second and third helpings of the entrees. The highlight for me is how incredibly picture-worthy the Hotel is, with stunning spots both inside and outside (the bank vault in the ballroom was a favorite!) for amazing wedding photos. Even with nearly 200 guests, the space allowed for comfortable mingling and dancing. The bridal suite and thoughtful touches like packaged cake slices, chocolate-covered fruit, and souvenir champagne glasses made us feel so special. Pro Tip: I also highly recommend working with Visit Gettysburg. They provided free welcome packets for our guests filled with brochures, discounts, and even kid-friendly items, which enhanced the experience for our guests that stayed the full weekend. Because of Alaina, I felt completely at ease and confident that everything was in good hands. When I look back on our wedding day, she is absolutely part of those memories—not just as a coordinator, but as someone who helped make the day feel so special. If you’re considering a Gettysburg wedding, Alaina and her team will take amazing care of you from start to finish. (Photos captured by Megan Gingrich with MG Photography)

The moment I saw Bohemia Overlook, I knew it was the Wedding venue for us. The Venue is affordable and offers a good amount of accommodations that other venues do not and would cost extra even. The little things do matter, it adds up as we all know. The Venue kept in great contact with me and responded to me right away with questions I had through the whole experience and worked with me. Such a beautiful Venue. Was nervous when I found out a new owner took over, but realized quickly I didn’t need to be. The new owners kept up with the same pace of communication and response time and even on our Wedding day they greeted us and made sure everything was going good. We even got a beautiful view of the water on the hill for some wedding photos. My Wife and I enjoy coming here for different events and the wine room when it’s open. This place will forever be a cherished memory and not everyone can say that they can go back to where they got married. So much more to say about this place, but without going on a rant, just know this place is amazing. To even include how beautiful the barn looks upstairs at night, wasn’t expecting that since we usually see it during the day.

We got married at Chesapeake a couple of weeks ago and truly had the most incredible wedding day! We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors, followed by a reception in the ballroom with about 160 guests, and every part of the day was perfect. The venue is so versatile, offering beautiful options rain or shine (which gave us such peace of mind). The Manor House was the perfect backdrop for photos, and the bridal suite was beautiful for all our getting-ready moments. There are so many gorgeous photo spots across the property—and a huge bonus: our guests had an absolute blast golfing on the course before the wedding! The staff was incredibly helpful in bringing our vision to life and made the planning process feel smooth and easy. We’d recommend Chesapeake to anyone—it was everything we hoped for and more! Thank you, Chesapeake Bay Golf Club!!

We were able to treat the whole weekend as a little get away for my husband and I, along with our wedding parties. Having the venue the whole weekend made setting up decorations so much easier and less stressful. The venue, from the house, to outside, to inside the barn, was absolutely stunning. The rustic feel was exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. Being able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at one location was amazing. Having a space for both my husband and his groomsmen, along with my bridesmaids and I to get ready in the day of was perfect. My husband and I could not have picked a better venue to get married at.

Shellie and the Hotel Du Pont team are total pros. They were very accommodating throughout the process and were always willing to work with us to make our day as special as possible. The food and drinks were all terrific and the service was exceptional. We were attracted to Hotel Du Pont as a venue because of the opportunity to host a “Wedding Weekend” and not only did we get to pull that off, but Hotel Du Pont made it a better experience than we could have hoped for. Great food, beautiful ballrooms and accommodations, and a professional and friendly staff made this a home run wedding venue for us.

We got married at the Delaware Art Museum and couldn't be happier with our choice. From the start, their team got back to us right away with clear, helpful answers to every question we had. They connected us with Savora Catering, which turned out to be perfect for our reception, and they provided us with a detailed timeline for the day that kept everything running smooth. The museum itself felt dreamy and welcoming, with beautiful spaces that made our guests feel special the moment they walked in. It's such a classy backdrop for a wedding, and we loved how open and supportive the staff was throughout the whole process. If you want a timeless venue with a team that actually cares, we'd recommend the Delaware Art Museum in a heartbeat.

The venue was absolutely beautiful, and our bartender was truly outstanding - the best I or any of my guests have ever experienced at a wedding! Huge shoutout to them for making the evening so memorable. The food was impeccable, and our tasting experience was divine. The staff also assisted with setup and takedown, which we really appreciated. However, communication with the venue team was challenging at times. There were many back-and-forth emails that could have been resolved quickly with a phone call, and response times were often slow, even after requesting callbacks. My cake topper was unfortunately broken at some point during cleanup and no one informed us, which was disappointing. We also encountered some issues with the sound system and couldn’t locate the venue’s point person, though thankfully it was resolved before our grand entrance. Overall, despite a few hiccups, the venue was stunning, the food and bar service were exceptional, and our guests had a wonderful time.
