“The Hummingbird Chateau was truly everything we could have dreamed of and more. From the moment we first toured it, we fell in love with how unique, beautiful, and thoughtfully designed every space was. The character and details throughout the venue created such an unforgettable atmosphere and made our wedding feel incredibly special and personal. A huge thank you to Angela, who completely brought our vision to life and honestly exceeded every expectation we had. She took all of our ideas and elevated them beyond what we could have even imagined. Every detail was executed flawlessly, and it was clear how much care, creativity, and passion she puts into her work. She made the entire planning process feel seamless and always made us feel supported and confident every step of the way. Debbie, Leah, Mike and the rest of the staff were also absolutely incredible. Everyone was so attentive, professional, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure our day went perfectly.

“WOW. Our wedding day was a dream and so much more because of the phenomenal Milton Ridge team. Absolutely every person at MR from the coordination team, photography team, catering, DJ, and beyond is so incredibly professional, caring, detail-oriented, and focused on making your day and you and your partner feel so truly special. We have a million compliments to give to this amazing staff. It felt like they were all celebrating with us! Meaghan and Moriana not only helped plan and coordinate our day beautifully, they were so excited for us all day and made sure we weren’t worried about anything, making sure to have everything ready for us, even strategically got our one guests safely an ambulance to the ER before the ceremony (and back before first dance!) and made sure every single moment of our day ran smoothly. Feldy and Mira made the best photographers we could have hoped for. They were adamant about getting us the shots we wanted and Mira was just priceless with her joy for the photos they were taking!! She and Feldy have us so excited to see our photos!!! Our DJ, Tyler was just wonderful, made our night with some great music and had our guests dancing all night long! One moment I will never forget is running to the office to get something an few hours before guests arrived and feeling caught up in my nerves, but then hearing the catering staff laughing with each other while preparing our food. It totally snapped me out of my nerves and brought me back to the moment, reminding me to enjoy it all. The food was insanely delicious by the way, so many compliments from guests too! Highly recommend the fajita buffet!! Hubby and I are still chowing down on the leftovers 2 days after our wedding! I also want to mention how happy it made us to see Moriana, Mira, and the girls and guys serving drinks dancing to the music, enjoying the night, while providing us with everything we could want and more!!! The ultimate professional wedding team is right here at Milton Ridge!! Can’t thank you all enough. We are so grateful we chose this venue, will be recommending it to all of our engaged friends, and will never stop talking about the day of our dreams that you all helped make possible.”

“We can't say enough about how happy we are in having chosen Ostertag as our wedding venue. The grounds are stunning, with various places around the site for ceremonies, photo ops, celebrations, preparation, and beyond. The staff was fantastic to work with. Donna was so kind and flexible, and Terry, our coordinator, was on top of every detail.

  • Up to 120 guests

  • Starts at $7,200

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.

“I don't know if I can put into words how meaningful Drumore Mill is to us after having our wedding there this past weekend. The venue is simply magical. So many of our guests commented on the beauty of the venue and the pictures don't do it justice. We used the historic house for our rehearsal dinner and stayed over night on the main property after our wedding. Every single space has been thoughtfully curated by Thuy and her team. Thuy was a joy to work with and truly cares about the experience every couple has. We already want to go back! Drumore also allows you to choose all your own vendors which was important to us. I also was adamant about having our close family and friends staying close by after our wedding so this was perfect for us! We also got to have a farewell coffee and breakfast in the Grist Mill on Sunday morning which was a lovely farewell for everyone who had traveled so far. We held our ceremony in the pavilion, cocktail hour in the cave, and reception in the barn. Everything was beyond perfect! We only toured one venue because we knew immediately this was the one.”

“Finding this venue felt like discovering a hidden gem. 9030 Rockland Estates is tucked away in the most peaceful, picturesque spot — it truly felt like a dream once we found it through lots of searching online. When we booked in 2023, the venue was still fairly new, but after our first walk-through, we instantly fell in love. The ceremony site was breathtaking, and even though the deck and a few other spaces were still being developed at the time, we could already see the incredible potential. Over nearly two years of planning, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Amanda (the owner) and later Kaitlyn, the event coordinator. Both of them were amazing — incredibly responsive, warm, and supportive. Amanda especially went above and beyond, answering every question (no matter how small) with patience and enthusiasm. Her joyful spirit shines through in everything she does. As a former bride herself, she truly understands what couples need and has built that perspective into her venue experience. One of the best things about 9030 is the flexibility it offers. You get access to the property from Thursday through Sunday, which makes all the difference — especially for DIY brides or anyone without a big setup crew. Having time for rehearsal, setup, and cleanup without feeling rushed was a huge blessing. Amanda also later opened the on-site house for couples, families, and wedding parties to stay in, which made our weekend so much easier and more enjoyable. Being able to get ready right there, change after the ceremony, and simply relax without worrying about transportation was incredible. The venue itself has everything a couple could want — beautiful indoor bathrooms, a spacious bridal suite, a groom’s suite, and stunning natural backdrops everywhere you look. Amanda keeps improving and adding thoughtful touches all the time. She allows couples to bring their own vendors and alcohol (with a licensed bartender), which gave us so much flexibility to personalize our day. About 10 days before the wedding, Amanda informed us that the venue could no longer do fireworks in-house, but she quickly helped us find a licensed vendor and handled all the logistics. The show turned out to be spectacular — truly the best way to end a magical night. It rained on our wedding day, which initially broke my heart since I had dreamed of that outdoor ceremony site from the moment I saw it. But Amanda and her team transformed the tent space so beautifully that I ended up loving it even more. The way the florals, colors, and lighting came together created the most romantic atmosphere imaginable. Everyone is still raving about how gorgeous it was! Yes, there were minor hiccups — mostly due to me underestimating how the rain plan would affect seating with our large bridal party — but overall, everything was seamless and stunning. Amanda’s flexibility, kindness, and understanding made all the difference. If I could do it all over again (which I won’t, because I married my forever!), I’d 110% book 9030 Rockland Estates again — maybe just earlier in September to skip the rain! This venue, and the people behind it, made our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. We feel so lucky and grateful to have celebrated such a special day in such a beautiful place.”

“Willowood is such a stunning event space. The interior design and landscaping are so thoughtful and intentional—it’s clear how much care went into creating it. I especially love the old barn. There’s truly nothing else like it, and the way it’s been lovingly restored is incredible. They managed to honor the history of the property while also giving it a modern, fresh feel that works beautifully for today’s events. Everywhere you look, the rolling hills and gorgeous scenery make for the perfect backdrop. There are so many spots across the property that can be used in different ways, whether it’s for weddings, family reunions, retreats, or anything in between.

“Caboose Farm was a dream from the moment we toured it. Colby took us on a detailed tour that showed us the event hall and some possible outdoor locations (which look BEAUTIFUL for warmer seasons!) One of our primary wants in a venue was duration of rental and Caboose allows you to rent their space for the ENTIRE weekend. Not only that, you can rent the housing on property as well for your guests to stay on, at a discounted rate if you opt to rent the full property. Colby was amazing to work with and, truly, made everything else fall into place. More than half of our vendors were found based on Colby’s recommendations. The man CERTAINLY knows his stuff and was a consummate professional from start to finish. He worked so well with our planner, caterer, DJ, liquor provider, and everyone in between to the point we barely had to worry that things would be in the right place. The bar staff were phenomenal as well. Alicia was a sweetheart and they made sure drinks were flowing (but not TOO flowing) and that everyone was having a wonderful night. The venue is gorgeous and works perfectly for a winter wedding as well as any other season, so have no fear if you go to look at it during the winter. The housing was so easy to do as well (once we had everyone assigned to a room)! Ourselves, we stayed in the Washington House, a quick little walk to the venue with enough rooms for the entire bridal party. We had most of the property filled and didn’t have a single issue with any of the rooms! The houses may be old but they are VERY renovated and very nice. We loved Caboose and will almost certainly take a trip back here to celebrate an anniversary some time in the future.”

The house is so comfortable and having our families and wedding party stay in the accommodations was ideal.

“Carla, Sarah, and the rest of the team at the Barn at Hill Country were the perfect choice for our wedding day! The grounds themselves are gorgeous, and they are constantly updating the place to improve. During the time between booking and the wedding, they planted sunflowers in the field and renovated their patio space, making the final space even more beautiful than when we toured it the first time. Carla stayed in constant communication over the year of planning, and was always available for questions. On the day of the event, the venue staff was so helpful with setup, styling, transportation around the area, and just made the day so wonderful I wasn’t worried about a thing. Honestly they executed our vision perfectly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND you book this venue if you’re looking for a beautifully renovated barn and easy logistics.”

“From our first conversation with Mike and Audi at Frederick Social, we knew we had found the right venue for our wedding. They listened to every detail of what we needed and worked with us step by step to bring our vision to life, from finding the perfect spot for our processional and Chupah to accommodating our guests' dietary needs. They flipped the room quickly from ceremony to party, and had plenty of private space for our family. Even though we only booked a half-day, they closed the entire venue so we wouldn't feel rushed, and they gave us plenty of time to set up and tear down at our own pace. Mike and Audi helped us create a menu that worked for our vegetarian & gluten-free guests and welcomed us bringing outside food in for our kosher family members without hesitation. We were even able to tap into their sound system and manage the music ourselves. What really stood out was how they made us feel like family from day one, and they continue to greet us with the same warmth every time we walk through their doors. Frederick Social is the kind of venue that truly cares about making your day special and stress-free.”

“Our experience at Union Mills was truly exceptional. Our guests absolutely loved the venue, and we received countless compliments on the food. Everyone raved about what they ate and the pizza was a complete hit! Our guests felt well-fed the entire night and are still talking about the pizza. The mocktail was also a favorite, people couldn’t stop talking about it. Mary and Niko were incredibly kind and attentive throughout the entire planning process. They addressed all of our concerns with patience and care, and worked closely with us to create a menu that was exactly what we wanted for our guests. Niko went above and beyond by crafting a menu that incorporated items inspired by restaurants we love to visit, as well as dishes that reflected our culture. That personal touch made everything even more special and brought so much joy to our guests. The staff at Union Mills was amazing as well. They treated my bridal party so well and were attentive to every detail. We are so happy we chose this venue!

This was the perfect place for us to be married, and we would not have had it any other way. For starters, my wife is a huge Twilight fan, and the Wooded Glen ceremony area made us feel like we were in our own bit of twilight! Everyone at the venue was so helpful too, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was prepared leading up to the wedding, and even making sure everything ran smoothly the day of!. Food was incredible, and our guests can vouch for that. All-in-all, if my wife and I could get married here again, we 100000% would. If you're looking to get married soon, I highly recommend Stone Manor Boutique Inn. Also, as a personal thank you from me and my wife: Erin, Autum, Parth, and Manisha- thank you so much for everything from the bottom of our hearts.
