Consider Drumore Estate. Located in Pequea, a short drive from Lancaster, the versatile venue offers beautiful grounds, formal gardens, fountains, spacious patios and a grand tent as well as indoor climate-controlled venues to host your wedding ceremony and reception.The estate building was completed in 1939, commissioned for John Frederick Steinman by noted architect Robert Rodes McGoodwin. Steinman wanted to have a stone house on a hill, and Drumore delivers with a gorgeous view of both Lancaster City and the Susquehanna River. After being vacant for 20 years, Drumore Estate was purchased by Bill and Karyn Regitz in 1999. The married business partners renovated the Georgian Mansion and formal gardens, and have continued to make improvements including the Carriage House, new patios and walkways, and parking lot.Drumore Estate is driven by \u201ca passion for hospitality,\u201d says David Andresen, general manager and executive chef. \u201cWe want you and your guests to feel like family.\u201d Centering on you and your vision is the Drumore Estates\u2019 wedding team. All packages include an experienced event planner, event day facilitator and event manager. \u201cWe are here to help with everything, from planning the details to the set-up to ensuring the day runs smoothly and on schedule to the tear-down and packing up. All you and your family have to do is relax and enjoy your special day!\u201dCouples can take advantage of the in-house catering services. The executive chef loves creating custom menus for weddings. You can also choose from the extensive menus to suit your theme, palate and budget.

You also have the option of buffets, stations, sit-down dinners, or cocktail receptions.

The indoor spaces include the Carriage House, which features a working fireplace and options including lighting and sound packages. \u201cOur Orangery is a beautiful space perfect for smaller events and ceremonies,\u201d adds Andresen.Whether your wedding guest list is for 20 or 400, Drumore Estate can accommodate you. \u201cWe are zoned for up to 400 outdoors under tents,\u201d says Andresen. \u201cThe Orangery accommodates 80 and the Carriage House 150 with a dance floor.

Versatility, indeed!On an average year (the pandemic aside), Drumore Estate hosts between 60 and 80 events. For wedding days, the marrying couple has exclusive use of the property for 12 hours, guaranteeing no one else is getting married on the grounds on the same day. The staff is experienced with LGBTQ+ weddings, and looks forward to many more.From the management to the catering team to the planners, everyone at Drumore Estate has a common goal: To have their couples feel like \u201ctheir wedding day was the best day ever\u2014better than they ever expected,\u201d says Andresen. \u201cOur goal is to always exceed expectations!\u201dDrumore Estate331 Red Hill RoadPequea, PA 17565drumoreestate.comImages courtesy of Drumore EstateThis is sponsored post paid for by Drumore Estate, an Equally Wed preferred Platinum venue.\u00a0"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Spotlight on Drumore Estate, an LGBTQ+ inclusive wedding venue in Pennsylvania","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/spotlight-on-drumore-estate-an-lgbtq-inclusive-wedding-venue-in-pennsylvania\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
