Drumore Mill 

5.0

  • Up to 125 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $4,700

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.

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.

The Manor at Mountain View 

4.9

Harrisburg, PA
  • Up to 325 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,400

The Manor at Mountain View was the perfect find for the owners. The rustic feel with modern-day conveniences was a must. But, what was also a must was to have a venue that the word beautiful could not even describe it but, yet to keep it affordable so that so many people could come and enjoy this spectacular piece of property. The Tavern (Groom's Tavern) has its original barn beams as this was at one time a bank barn. The rustic charm matches the rod iron chandeliers in the room leading to the tavern. In 2007 the former owners built an addition to the facility that speaks volumes, equipped with windows throughout to show off the amazing view... It really is breathtaking. Today the owners have renovated all the rooms in the building but, kept the rustic charm. It brings the family great joy to see so many people happy when they visit the property and to be able to share so many events with the individuals that rent the property is a joy that is indescribable.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Dressing room available
  • Provides event staff
  • Accommodates more than 200 guests

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists

We got married in December, and until the day of the wedding I was worried that this was a scam because this venue was too perfect. (Which is why I’m attaching non-professional photos for those who are skeptical!!) Upon doing extensive research, no venue matches Manor at Mountain View in terms of price and package. We saved a ton of money thanks to their all-inclusive packages (bartenders, tables, linen, decoration, etc.) Now, it was slightly difficult to keep communication clear because I used email as our main source of communication, so we weren’t as organized as I would have liked. (I tend to be type a and need to know everything that’s happening so I can communicate that to my wedding party and others who are part of the wedding). We were also unaware that we had to bring our own unity candles until the morning of, but Angie was able to take care of that for us. Despite this hiccup, I still want to rate this venue 5 stars because the wedding day itself went SO smoothly. The staff truly love their job and it is evident in the way they treat our family and friends. It was only thanks to this venue that we could pull off a wedding in less than 6 months! And it went perfectly.

We had the most incredible experience at The Lodges at Gettysburg, and we can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how beautiful the venue was — it felt like a dream. The ceremony location was stunning, with breathtaking views, and the reception space was just as gorgeous, with elegant decor and perfect lighting. What made it even better was the lodging on-site. Having our closest family and friends stay at the venue made the weekend feel so much more intimate and relaxed. The accommodations were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully designed. It was so convenient for everyone to be able to stay on the property and not worry about transportation. The staff at The Lodges went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and we truly felt like royalty. It was such a magical experience to celebrate our wedding, have our loved ones close, and enjoy a stress-free weekend together. We’ll cherish this special place forever!
