The Mansion

Event Venue in Pennsylvania

Drumore Estate is located outside Lancaster, PA. Secluded and pristine, yet it is only a short drive from Lancaster City and is centrally located among Harrisburg, Hershey, and York. It is within a 3-hour drive to New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. The property sits on one of the highest points in the county, with unmatched views stretching across the Susquehanna River Valley. The grounds cover 70 acres encompassing manicured lawns, formal gardens, woodlands, fountains, and pools.

The mansion on the estate was built for John F. Steinman, a Lancaster newspaper magnate, in 1937 by noted architect Robert Rodes McGoodwin. The 18,000-square-foot home was modeled after the opulent design and smooth symmetry of Georgian architecture often found in 18th Century Britain.

Every detail of the mansion was remarkably attended to, down to the patented wrought-iron detailing on the exterior, which has inspired our Drumore Estate logo. The country estate was designed with entertaining in mind with its open spaces, quaint alcoves, grand staircase, dazzling chandeliers, and warm ambiance, making it an ideal location for your wedding.

From the timeless gardens to the elegant architecture, every corner feels like a dream backdrop for wedding photos. It’s the kind of venue where romance and sophistication meet, and it shows in every image.

“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!!”

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!

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!!!"
