A Beautiful Wedding Day
in Any Weather!
The Grand Tent comes fully equipped with up-lighting, ceiling fans, and clear sides that can be closed to protect your guests, allowing the party to keep going no matter what the weather brings! Light rain or a quick shower can be refreshing as the party continues under our Grand Tent, with guests not even noticing. The Grand Tent gives you the security of an indoor reception, but you still get to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Drumore Estate by being outside.
If you plan an outdoor event and the weather just doesn’t cooperate, you can move indoors since clients have exclusive use of the property. If you planned an indoor (winter) wedding and the day turns out to be so gorgeous you want to move outdoors, you may. Planning is relaxed because the weather is not an issue.

What Our
Couples Have
To Say.
“We can’t recommend Drumore enough!! Our day was absolutely perfect because of Marnie and Kevin! They were a true dream to work with, they went above and beyond to give us the perfect day, and it was a blessing to have them there to celebrate with us! The grounds are so well kept and landscaped beautifully, and the food is phenomenal! Drumore was a special part of our special day and we are so very grateful to have shared our day with Drumore Estate!”
~Rebecca E
“Picking Drumore Estate for our venue was the best decision! The venue itself is beautiful and was the cheapest around. You have to use their cater but it’s worth it. All of our guests, including us, loved the food. Drumore Estate has a great reputation with a lot of outside vendors to make your wedding special. All I had to do was pick my vendors and bring a couple of my own decorations and they do everything else! Our wedding day was perfect and the best day of our lives!”
~Grace B
“We had our ceremony in the Formal Gardens, and the reception in the Grand Tent. Starting with the venue itself, it is absolutely STUNNING. All of our guests were in awe everywhere they went at Drumore. The space is so private and romantic, with lush gardens everywhere you go! You can really tell that Bill and Karyn (the owners) put their heart and soul into the upkeep of the property.”
