Climate Controlled Wedding Venue near Lancaster, PA

The Carriage House can be used for ceremonies, receptions, or as a dance hall. Since it is climate-controlled, whether you are getting married in the heat of the summer or the cold of the winter months, the Carriage House provides a comfortable, year-round alternative to a tented reception. It also provides a perfect contingency if the weather doesn’t cooperate on the day of your event. Having the Grand Tent, Carriage House, and Ballroom on the property offers a multitude of optional layouts and flow, so planning is stress-free. If you plan an outdoor but decide to move it indoors for any reason, there is no problem since clients have exclusive use of the entire property on their wedding day. If you plan an indoor winter wedding and the day turns out to be so gorgeous that you want to move your ceremony outdoors onto one of our patios, no problem. One of the benefits of Drumore Estate is its versatility! The Carriage House has a maximum capacity of 150 seated guests for a reception or 350 for a ceremony. To “wow” their guests, clients with a large guest list and tent reception can rent the Carriage House for their dance party. Adjacent to large patios and a 72,000-gallon swimming pool, guests step out to enjoy the evening and can still hear the music. A firepit could be set up on the patio for guests’ warmth or for toasting marshmallows for S’mores.
