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.

We have been working with [and for] Castle Farm since the beginning. We did the first wedding ever there! Every year they add something new and there are tons of places for pictures! The owners are great people and are extremely accommodating to everyone! You can have a beer pony, horses in your portraits and the guests truly love the interaction! No matter where you are you get an incredible view! I can't say enough about this place and the owners...it is definitely a one of a kind location you won't forget!

We booked our wedding at the TWI just about 4 months before our date. Melanie, Sarah, and Brandi made the process so easy. Leading up to the date, they were easy-going and accommodating answering questions and recommending vendors. They were so easy to work with. The day/weekend of, they are true pros and took care of all sorts of little things without skipping a beat. Not to mention the food was incredible! and you can't beat the classic aesthetic of the venue.
