About Drumore Estate

Drumore Estate is an elegant, historic private residence that is open to the public for special events. For more than 20 years, Bill and Karyn Regitz have been hosting beautiful weddings at their premier Lancaster County wedding venue. Bill and Karyn are hands-on owners down to the last detail.

With the help of their in-house chef, wedding coordinators and event staff they work to ensure that you experience the wedding of your dreams. 

Our History

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. John F. Steinman loved Drumore Estate and lived here until he died in 1980.

What Our Couples Say

Giovanna & Austin

"Drumore Estate and its surroundings gave me so much peace and happiness on our wedding day! From our first tour to the open house! We didn’t even decide to visit other places after we saw Drumore! Shayna Welch did everything in her power for everything to go perfect that day and she did️.  She was kind, patient, and kept everyone on their toes! Everything about this place was astonishing!"

Lorik & Joshua

“If you want an stress-free, stunning wedding experience, this is the place to choose. The Drumore team eased our nerves and provided excellent service and support the entire way, from planning to execution. Marnie was a rockstar on our wedding day and made sure everything ran as smoothly as can be.  We received nothing but positive feedback (even hearing that this was the best wedding people had been to in years/ever) 😉  Shoutout to this beautiful spot with beautiful people. The appetizers for cocktail hour were also INCREDIBLE - so yummy, my personal favorite part!! lol THANK YOU GUYS!”

Janelle & Dustin

“Drumore Estate was the perfect place for our wedding! The mansion is beautiful, the grounds are stunning, and the staff are absolutely amazing. They were there through every step of the wedding planning process with quick responses to all our questions, and they worked hard to help us tailor our wedding to our specific vision. They have numerous options around the estate for both ceremony and reception options depending on your wedding size and/or preference. Also, their in-house catering was absolutely delicious! The beautiful grounds have so many different options for amazing photo opportunities. (Our photographer loved the venue!) Finally, I cannot stress how amazing their staff is. We had an amazing day, and it absolutely flew by, but we were able to enjoy every minute of it because the staff worked hard to take care of every detail. I cannot recommend this venue more highly!!”

Rachel & Austin

“Shayna is an absolute gem of a coordinator! She is sweet, intelligent, and went above & beyond to ensure my husband & I had the most magical wedding at Drumore Estate. From day one, she encouraged us to be ourselves and organized whatever our hearts desired. She answered every question, email & phone call with no hesitation and a happy spirit! We were also so grateful to the her & the chef for creating a customized all appetizer menu! Our guests were raving about beautiful estate, awesome food & friendly staff! The set up & take down from the staff was also extremely helpful as a DIY bride. I could go on & on…THANK YOU!!! We highly recommend this stunning venue!! We love you Shayna - you are the best in the biz!”

Mallorie & Amir

"Drumore was one of the first venues we visited. After visiting several others, our hearts and minds kept going back to Drumore. It just felt right.

We got married in July on a hot, summer Sunday, Drumore Estate was not only a stunning backdrop for our forever, but also, Marnie and the rest of the Drumore staff really are the dream team! They got us from start to finish with tons of support and stellar service every step of the way! It was incredible to see a list of notes come to life on our beautiful wedding day. Everything was picture perfect, on time, and just the way we imagined. No one even noticed the little issues, because Marnie and her team would ensure everything remained smooth. The staff was always incredibly excited, even when dealing with the stickier details.

Thank you so much for everything you did—not just for us, but for our family and friends. Thank you for your patience and your kindness. If we had to do it again, we'd choose Drumore Estate every time. You all are the absolute best!!!"
