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

Sara + Ryan

"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!”

"The Drumore Estate not only is the wedding venue of your dreams, but they have the most amazing people as well. We were so lucky to have had Shayna Welch, not only was she professional, responsive, efficient, and flexible but she was incredibly intentional from start to finish and made sure all our details fell into place smoothly. She communicated beautifully with all the vendors, and everyone involved with the wedding, which made the whole day seamless. We had such an amazing wedding at The Drumore Estate, and it truly takes your breath away. We cannot thank Shayna and the rest of the staff enough for the amazing job that they did!"

From our first tour, we felt the magic of Drumore, and the planning process was seamless with constant communication with the team. Their trusted vendors made for an amazing, carefree day, and our guests kept asking, 'Where did you find this place?' Drumore is stunning, and the team made us feel so special. They’re the best of the best in the wedding game!"
