The staff always kept us well informed. We loved our day of coordinator, she was all godsend. Everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect. The food was amazing. We loved everything about our experience as well as all of our family and friends. Ms. Helen went above and beyond. She was always available when I needed her most.

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)

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!!

The Barn of Nottingham was the most perfect wedding venue my husband and I could have chosen. Mallory was absolutely amazing and helped out so much throughout the process. Her and her team made the days leading up to and the day of the wedding so much easier. We chose to do the full weekend package and it was the best decision ever! 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. I 100% recommend the barn of Nottingham!

I can't say enough about the Osbornia Farm team! They were truly amazing! From the moment we booked with them until the night our wedding ended they were so thorough and organized with everything. Shauna and Amy helped make our wedding day run so smooth and planned every little detail for us. Not only did they plan the schedule and details, they took into consideration of everything we said. Amy went above and beyond with helping us set up the church ceremony and then running the rehearsal. Shauna went above and beyond with coordinating with all the vendors before hand and during the wedding. Together, they were both amazing making sure the reception went smoothly. When I became stressed over little things they assured me it would be fine. And it was :) I truly feel the day went so smoothly and perfect because of them. The whole Family is so sweet and I cannot recommend this venue enough. Thank you so much for making our dream wedding a reality. We had so much fun and wish we could do it again :). Thank you!

From the first email inquiry, Rachel was great to work with and extremely helpful - she answered the billion questions we had and was so friendly to work with. Her staff exceeded our expectations the day of - professional, kind, and made the wedding run smoothly. The banquet/ballroom had just gone through renovations before our wedding which made the space even more gorgeous and nothing can beat the view of the golf course and mountains (the balcony off of the ballroom was the perfect escape for a break)!

We got married at Rockfield Manor and it was hands down the best choice we could have made. Planning from out of state was daunting, but Kelle and the team made it so easy with their honest communication and quick responses every time I had a question. When we woke up to heavy rain on our wedding day, I was nervous—but the staff had already thought ahead and had a backup plan ready to go. They decorated the barn beautifully for us and made sure I could focus on marrying Rob instead of stressing about details. The newly remodeled space is gorgeous, the service was excellent, and honestly the price felt like a steal for everything we got. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how welcomed they felt and how perfect the day turned out to be.

We got married at Bel Air Armory and had a really positive experience overall. Julia was fantastic to work with throughout the planning process and kept us in the loop every step of the way. The venue itself is spacious with high ceilings, and the parking situation worked out perfectly for our guests. However, there was one frustrating limitation we wish we'd known about sooner—we weren't allowed to use cold sparklers or a fog machine, which seemed odd given how large the space is. That restriction felt like a red flag and definitely impacted the vision we had for our big moment. Despite that disappointment, the venue delivered on what it promised and we'd still recommend it to couples who don't need those specific effects.
