The Stone Mill 1792 was the perfect setting for our intimate wedding day. From our first conversation, the team was quick to respond, genuinely nice, and always ready to help us figure things out. The venue itself is absolutely picturesque—every corner is beautiful and made our photos look incredible.

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 can’t say enough how helpful Megan Supeck was in our planning process. She was so communicative and transparent. She seemed as happy as we were about our wedding! From beginning to end, she went out of her way to make sure we had what we needed. We also enjoyed staying in the Paradise Suite the night of the wedding. They had a bottle of champagne read for us when we got to the room and complimentary breakfast the next morning. I was so stressed with wedding planning, but Megan and her team really put me at ease.

First, I want to start off by saying I wrote this entire review and then accidentally deleted it - but I am re-writing the review because I loved the Booking House that much!!!!! My wife and I got married here almost three months ago and we had the most amazing experience. It was the very first wedding venue we toured and we were instantly in love: from the beautiful chandeliers, the large getting ready rooms for both wedding parties, the exposed brick, having the entire venue to yourself, etc - it was stunning and we knew we wanted to get married here! Our main point of contact was Brittany, who was amazing to work with. She was so responsive, had great ideas, and made the whole process so enjoyable and easy. She also provided a list of "suggested vendors" (we booked the majority of their suggested vendors with the exception of hair/makeup, florals, and photography), and their recommendations were 10/10. We also hired the Booking House's bartending team and Day of Coordinating team, which we definitely recommend. Our Day of Coordinator, Aalea, was the absolute best!!! She made sure our drinks were always full, she always had a smile on her face, she hustled around to make sure everything was perfect, packed up everything for us, etc - we literally did not worry about ONE SINGLE THING on our wedding day because we knew we had the best team on our side. Lastly, we had a longer engagement and we were booked at the Booking House for almost 2 years before our wedding. Throughout those 2 years, we went to their Open House and a “signature cocktail” event, which was SO helpful! Not sure if other venues have a “Signature cocktail” event also, but it helped make our day so special as we had unique cocktails on our bar menu. If you're thinking about having your wedding/special event here, pay your deposit and get to planning!!! You won't regret it.

My husband and I could not recommend this venue more enough! From the moment we toured the property and met Marnie, we knew we had found our dream wedding venue. Not only is the estate absolutely stunning, but the people behind the scenes make the entire planning process and wedding day feel seamless and stress-free. The property is well maintained and features breathtaking gardens, a greenhouse, elegant patios, a grand tent, carriage house, bridal and groom suites, a bar, balconies, ballroom, and so much more—everything you could want for a garden party wedding. Our guests could not stop talking about the venue, the incredible food, and the exceptional staff. In fact, several guests have already shared Drumore Estate with friends and family who are planning weddings because they were so impressed by the experience. We truly could not have brought our dream wedding to life without Marnie. Her dedication, responsiveness, and support throughout the planning process were invaluable. No question ever went unanswered, and she consistently went above and beyond to ensure every detail was covered. Our two three-hour planning sessions were incredibly organized, productive, and reassuring, leaving us confident that everyone was aligned and prepared leading up to the big day. Marnie has a remarkable ability to keep couples grounded and focused, and her guidance was instrumental during some of the stressful moments of wedding planning. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and we are so grateful to Marnie and the entire Drumore Estate team for making it possible. This venue and its staff are truly one of a kind. If you're looking for a beautiful venue paired with an unmatched planning experience, Drumore Estate is the perfect choice. We will cherish the memories made there for the rest of our lives.

Why Is Pennsylvania an Extraordinary Wedding Destination?

Pennsylvania gives you an incredible wedding landscape that blends 18th-century colonial estates with industrial-chic spaces and stunning countryside settings. In Philadelphia you'll find historical landmarks featuring elegant Federal-style architecture while Pittsburgh offers converted warehouses with character-rich exposed brick and original iron beams. Head to Lancaster County and you can celebrate in authentic Amish-country barns with soaring post-and-beam construction and cathedral ceilings. The Poconos showcase dramatic mountain backdrops that really transform during peak wedding season in October when the fall foliage puts on a spectacular show for your special day.
