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.

Drumore Mill was an absolutely stunning venue to use for our special day (really weekend). We loved the ease of booking the venue, touring with Thuy, and the promptness and flexibility they offer. An added bonus is the available on site lodging for rental, which we made great use of for our close friends, family, and wedding party to stay in the night before and night of the wedding. We enjoyed the Great Room in the Grist Mill for our rehearsal dinner. Our guests loved how spacious Drumore Mill was, and we appreciated all the attention to detail such as included (but still optional) decor and greenery, and the setup of chairs and other items for the ceremony space. Being able to bring in all of our own vendors at no additional cost was fantastic. The value for renting the property from Thursday to Saturday morning was unmatched and completely worth it. We would recommend Drumore Mill to anyone, and we look forward to booking the property in the future for non-wedding related stays with friends and family.

Having our wedding at Hazelwood was one of the best decisions we made - and boy was it fate! As we started wedding planning as two non-native Pennsylvanians, we had no clue where we were going to have our wedding. A friend from church said, "Hey I don't know if you are still looking for a venue, but my high school english teacher owns one out in New Oxford. She is awesome and is super affirming and the venue looks great if you ever wanted to check it out." We went home and looked at the website and were instantly hooked. We got in contact with Kate and Adam, set up a tour and got all of the lovely planning resources that were so helpful to our process. Hazelwood was the first venue we toured. Kate was so kind and meeting her felt like catching up with an old friend. As a queer couple, Kate and Adam were so so affirming and told us that we would never see the words "groom" on our contracts or have to worry about any of the vendors. We walked away from the tour thinking "Did we just find our venue???? No we couldn't have, it was only the first tour..." Well, we went to one other place and immediately texted Kate and Adam saying "So what date's do you have??" Hazelwood was the perfect blank canvas to make the colors of our day pop! The partnership they have with Blake Events was SO SO helpful especially as people who lived 2.5 hours away and did not know any vendors in the area. Their catering partners were so diverse in food and budget and it allowed us to choose what was best for us. The day of, everything was utterly perfect. We did not have to worry about a thing! We were able to just be present in our day and soak it all in. The Hazelwood and Blake Events team made sure we were handed food and drinks the minute we walked up the aisle. They made sure that we got what we wanted out of our day. We cannot recommend Hazelwood enough to people. It was so perfect, there was never a worry about weather or space or anything going wrong. We knew that we had the best venue and the best team to make it all perfect and they did. We are forever grateful for the way the fates aligned and for Kate teaching high school English! We could not have had a more perfect day.
