About Drumore Estate

Drumore Estate – a story written in the pages of history…

Perched on the second-highest peak and nestled in the rolling farmlands of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Drumore Estate has been a symbol of elegance and hospitality since its founding in 1938 by local newspaper magnate and philanthropist John F. Steinman. Envisioning a peaceful retreat to escape the bustling city of Lancaster, Steinman commissioned Philadelphia architect Robert R. McGoodwin to design a 16,000-square-foot brick Georgian mansion that would complement the natural beauty of the property. Mature trees were transplanted, towering sycamores lined the driveway, and the estate was thoughtfully designed with entertaining in mind – patios, balconies, fountains, and gardens offering breathtaking views across the Susquehanna River Valley. Steinman loved the estate deeply and called it home until his passing in 1980.

In the early years of the 2000s, Drumore Estate entered a new chapter under the stewardship of Bill and Karyn Regitz. For over two decades, they transformed the estate into a premier wedding venue across Lancaster County and the surrounding regions, hosting unforgettable celebrations and ensuring every detail was attended to with the support of their in-house chef, wedding coordinators, and dedicated event staff. Under their care, the estate’s legacy of elegance and hospitality continued to flourish, becoming a place where magical memories are made and traditions honored – known as The Drumore Estate Experience.

In December 2025, Eric and Jerissa Warfel became the new stewards of Drumore Estate. As hands-on owners of both the real estate and event business, the Warfel family is committed to preserving the estate’s history, grandeur, and tradition of thoughtful hospitality while building upon the remarkable legacy of both the Steinman and Regitz families. From the Mansion and Formal Gardens to the Ballroom and Carriage House, every event at Drumore Estate becomes more than a celebration – it becomes part of history.

“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!!!"
