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.

“This was the venue of my dreams. I love twilight and it felt like i was in Forks, WA. I also love that we were able to utilize the whole space. Chapel ceremony, waterfall lounge cocktail hour and reception in the barn. It was utterly perfect and sooo dreamy.”

“Amanda, our event manager, was EVERYTHING. Her quick email responses, evening appointment accommodations, and ability to pull ideas straight out of my brain and onto paper were unreal. When I fell in love with BOB, I basically fell in love with Amanda’s energy and commitment to making my dream come true. I could not sleep that night after visiting and I knew in my gut it was THE venue. I have come to realize that BOB has a special structure set up. Your event manager is like your personal assistant. You are doing the planning but their knowledge is top tier! Amanda helped us think through enhancements and whether we actually needed them (spoiler: NO). But we did our own cookie bar and that was a HIT with our guests- it added a special touch for OUR families. The timing, the details, the paperwork, the info — literally everything from Amanda was flawless. When I was told 6 months in advance EVERYTHING I would need to turn in 3 weeks before, it gave my brain time to organize and plan out those 6 months. (pics from friends) I wish I had been encouraged more strongly to rethink the first‑dance location. I didn’t realize people would be sitting (not standing on the first floor) until our last meeting and it was too late to change our dance. With 165 people, taking photos at the tables was chaotic. Thank goodness our photographer spoke up and we changed our plan to be a QUICK pic not picture and chat! Again, with 165 people, the big group dance‑floor photo was a hot mess so rethink if you have a big group.. I didn’t think about 120 people needing to go down steps right after being served food. Some plates got taken eek! The other thing- when you get the DJ, make sure they talk with the venue- It is 2 floors, sound and announcements NEED to be heard upstairs. I have no idea what happened with ours so just FYI! Back to all the good stuff- I barely ate anything and people warned me of that. TAKE THE TIME to go alone to the house- simply to get your cocktail apps! FYI the guests were literally stalking the tent opening for the mushrooms and sesame chicken apps to leave the kitchen. Clearly they loved them. People are STILL texting us about the beef (pesto steak that Amanda told me to have). Everyone LOVED our blood orange margs and bourbon apple cider. The pretzel cheese was a HIT. Pick one late night snack because people were glad to have carbs. We LOVED having our table off to the side a bit- it felt private and comfortable. I highly recommend that setup. On 2/6/26, walking in and seeing everything come together felt like a dream. So many HAPPY tears because it was just so US! The lighting was perfect — bright enough to see, not too dark. BRING glow sticks! Everyone loved them! Our Day of Coordinator was unbelievable. She was everywhere I needed her to be. Our DoC made things come to life- she even got my shoes for me from the house. Guests raved about the staff. I wish I had talked to the staff more — the night flew by. Our waitress (Misty? Kristy?) was simply the best. She kept appearing to check on us and made us feel so special. I was nervous about being the center of attention all day, but it never felt overwhelming. The get ready house was perfect to throw everything and have that space to keep things until we left. I cannot say enough about Barn on Bridge- Amanda, Brianna, and Lily- thank you for making our day spectacular. I need someone I know to pick BOB so I can experience it from the other side.”

“This was out wedding venue in March 2023 and couldn't recommend it more. The space is large yet inviting, and gives lots of options for setup to customize how you want it. The owners and hosts of the venue were extremely helpful in providing some recommendations for different vendors without being pushy. Overall could not recommend this place more, I think any couple would love this venue for their special day!”
