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.

“Where do I even begin?? The Drumore Mill is an oasis. Surrounded by farm land and nestled in a dark green wood, it feels like you’ve entered into a fairytale land. The moment my fiancé (now husband!) and I stepped onto the Drumore Mill property, we knew we needed to exchange our vows here. We got married in the Grist Mill beside the waterfall. I always wanted an indoor/outdoor wedding but hated the idea of a tent wedding. The Grist Mill building is an open air but covered area with tall wooden beams and lots of open windows to allow sunlight in. Thuy was a pleasure to work with throughout my long engagement. She answered all my questions and even showed up the day of my wedding to wash windows at the reception barn! You can tell she really cares about the Drumore Mill. Look, there are a lot of places you can get married. But the Drumore Mill is special because you can return to it. They have charming rustic houses on property you can stay in. You can host a family reunion or a smaller vow renewal ceremony or just go on an anniversary trip there. How many other couples do you know who can stay the night at the place they got married? Because that’s what my husband and I did. We spent our wedding night on property, steps away from where we exchanged vows. We got to wake up the next morning and walk the beautiful grounds of the Drumore Mill taking in all the scenery and relive the memories from the day prior. One of our guests approached my husband during the wedding and said “I want my daughters to get married here”. You can’t get a better compliment than that! So in short, if you’re looking for a one of a kind place, where nature and architecture blend together, and you can return there to reminisce with loved ones—then consider the Drumore Mill. See for yourself what beauty I’m talking about. Because I know my husband and I can’t wait to go back!”

“I’ll preface by saying this is my second marriage and can compare my experience with to my first wedding. Catering By Uptown was fantastic from the beginning. They have excellent responsiveness, attention to detail and the food is amazing. Everything we wanted on our wedding day was accomplished. The only slight frustration I experienced was not having contact with our specific day of coordinator until the week of the wedding. But that didn’t even end up being an issue because, as I mentioned, everything was perfect. They’re so flexible and easy to work with. Though I wasn’t communicating with the same person every time I had questions, their internal communication was so strong and efficient that it seemed like I was talking the the same person. I can’t recommend them enough.”

“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!!”

“My husband and I held our wedding reception at Deerfield in April 2026. Our experience with this venue was excellent from beginning to end! The staff is highly professional and exceptional at anticipating your needs. The grounds and ballroom are absolutely gorgeous. The whole place is super clean. The golf course is alive but quiet. The value versus cost is amazing. We received tons of compliments from guests on the day about how delicious the food was and how beautiful the venue was. We’re still getting compliments months later from friends and family saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. We couldn’t be happier with how our day unfolded. Our coordinator Lizette was there guiding us the whole way and was super nice and accommodating. We wanted to display my great aunt’s antique wedding dress and other memorabilia and it was welcomed by her and the staff. She touched base with us regularly over the five months of planning to make sure we were on track with each milestone and we felt completely organized and at ease heading into the big day. Our day-of coordinator Matt was also excellent. We were a little behind arriving to Deerfield from the church where we got married but he seamlessly got us back on track and the evening unfolded beautifully. We were greeted by him and the staff as soon as we arrived. They brought us our signature drinks and hors d’oeuvres from the cocktail hour while we collected ourselves in a private dressing room. Matt was guiding each part of the reception nearby but he was good at giving space and time. He would tell us when the cake cutting was and when we had a few moments before pictures would be taken etc. He also built in some private breaks for me and my husband so we could save our energy throughout the event. Basically we were able to be carefree all evening! The photos we took inside the venue turned out lovely. The hallways are very ornate and classy. We did not take pictures outside due to rain but the golf course is lush and green and there are water fountains and terraces just outside the ballroom. The ballroom is large but feels intimate with the warm light and table positioning. We had 125 guests and 18 round tables including our sweetheart table and it felt romantic and cozy. There’s plenty of space for the cake table, DJ, photo booth, bar, dessert table, and memorial tables with grandparents’ pictures. We selected the mid level food and drink package with multiple sit-down dinner options including vegetarian/vegan. The staff is very accommodating to food allergies and other preferences. They also accommodate children’s and vendor meals. We loved the late night snack of mini cheesesteaks. And our last dance in the empty ballroom followed by our sendoff through the front doors was a perfect way to end the night. We used light sticks for the sendoff as sparklers are not permitted on the grounds. In a word, our reception was perfect. Thank you Deerfield for the impeccable service!”

The food was delicious and we keep getting compliments from our guests. We had our rehearsal dinner there as well and that food was awesome as well. It was so convenient to arrive Friday afternoon and not have to leave until Sunday. And Katie made it so much easier than I expected.

The food and drinks were all terrific and the service was exceptional.

“My daughter had her reception here last weekend. There are no words to express how absolutely incredible everything was and how much we loved the Mendenhall Inn and everything about it. There are so many things to list: the excellent food, amazing service, beautiful new bridal suite, gorgeous patio for post reception gathering, cocktail hour in atrium, stunning ballroom, etc Every single aspect and detail of our event was well above and beyond our expectations. We had many people in our party stay at the Inn. Many renovations have been made and the Inn is gorgeous. Our family and guests have described this past weekend as a big family reunion, a warm gathering of love and joy, and all have absolutely raved about the Mendenhall Inn. Gianna helped to plan our event. She was very supportive, responsive and organized throughout our year of planning. She is the absolute best! Her attention and care to every detail helped to make our day stress free, relaxing and enjoyable. We did not want the night to end. Thank you Gianna. I highly recommend the Mendenhall Inn!!”
