Congratulations to Alex and Julia on their wedding day!!

"Alex and Julia met sophomore year of high school when their friends set them up to go to homecoming together. They started dating 09/22/2014 and have been together ever since. After long distance in college, they moved to Louisiana together, got engaged in Key West, and just moved to Boston. They are so excited to be getting married one day before their 10 year anniversary."

What a spectacular end to a three-day wedding weekend we had! From whimsical touches to breathtaking decor, this weekend was truly one for the books. Here’s a look back at the highlights:

Day 1: We kicked off with a sweet twist – an ice cream bar that had everyone’s taste buds dancing! The custom flavors and toppings were a hit, making the reception as delightful as it was delicious.

Day 2: Our hearts were captured by the stunning florals and elegant table decor. The simplicity of bud vases mixed with greenery created a dreamy atmosphere under our tent.

Day 3: We wrapped up the weekend with a spectacular sparkler send-off! The glowing sparks and joyful cheers were the perfect end to a beautiful celebration, illuminating the night with pure magic.

A huge thank you to all of our amazing couples who chose us to host and help plan their special moments, and to everyone who made this weekend truly unforgettable!

Today marks one year since Sarah and Ryan said "I do"! We’re thrilled to celebrate their first anniversary and reflect on the magic of their wedding day. Their review captured the essence of what makes Drumore Estate so special:

“Drumore was genuinely the best wedding venue I could have hoped for. Marnie Duncan was so kind and loving toward my husband and I the entire time. She even helped us surprise our guests with a helicopter landing! The staff is accommodating and professional. They helped us with everything we needed. Thanks to them our day went off without a hitch. I cannot recommend them enough to any future bride!”

Thank you for letting us be a part of your love story. Wishing you both many more years of happiness and cherished memories! Want to know what other couples think about us? Check out more of our reviews on our website!

Congratulations to our lovely Drumore couple getting married today! ❤️

Hunter and Amanda first met back in 2008 in Disney World as family friends. Hunters Aunt was actually Amanda’s Moms, college roommate and she is both of our God Mothers. What started as a crush at 11 and 12 year olds, grew into a love story over the years. Amanda and Hunter always kept in touch throughout the years and would see each other for a week in the summer when their families vacationed together. Hunter was from Tennessee and Amanda from Pennsylvania, so when they could finally make it work, they decided to try the long distance relationship as Sophomores and Juniors in college. It wasn’t ideal, but they made it work. When they both graduated, Hunter moved to PA and they moved in together with their dog, Chi. They got engaged in front of their family and best friends in September 2022 at a wine vineyard. They are getting married today and after years of crushing on each other and long distance relationships, it truly feels like our fairytale is coming true 🤍

We cannot wait to celebrate with you tonight! 🎉

Congratulations to Kendra and Andrew on their wedding day! 💗

"We met online in March 2021 and soon after shared our first date at Jim Macks in York- we got ice cream! Andrew, the romantic at heart, brought Kendra flowers on the first few dates (and many other times after), earning him the nickname "the flower guy" from Kendras friends. We love hiking, seeking new adventures, spending time with the fur babies, Noble and Lulu, and playing board and card games on the patio over a glass of wine or two. Andrew proposed at Longwood Gardens in front of the waterfall on a beautiful summer day. We have had so much fun planning our wedding at Drumore Estate and are looking forward to a honeymoon in Hawaii!"

We are so excited to celebrate with you tonight! 🥂

Our Story

THEN:

Drumore Estate was founded in 1938 when local newspaper magnate and philanthropist John F. Steinman sought out a hilltop in the Lancaster County countryside to build a peaceful retreat. He decided upon this property in the southern end of Lancaster, situated on the second highest peak in the county with a view of his newspaper building in downtown Lancaster. Philadelphia architect Robert R. McGoodwin was commissioned to design the 16,000 square foot brick Georgian mansion so that it best complimented the natural beauty of the property.

Mature trees were transplanted on the property in 1939 and the towering sycamores lining the driveway are a hallmark of the estate to this day. Drumore Estate features a breathtaking wedding aisle for brides to ascend stairs from the mansion to make their entrance through the Formal Gardens. To the left of the Fountain Garden, the bucolic view stretches across the Susquehanna River Valley.

John F. Steinman planned the property with entertaining in mind. There are numerous patios, balconies, porches, pools, and fountains nestled in the Formal Gardens. Other local Steinman family properties include Conestoga House and Gardens and the Pressroom Restaurant adjacent to Steinman Park where a statue honors John F. Steinman and his brother, James Hale Steinman. John F. Steinman loved Drumore Estate and lived here until he died in 1980.
