We had our wedding in the ballroom. Very scenic and beautiful venue! Overall a pretty good venue that includes food, tables, chairs, linens, etc. The ballroom house itself is beautiful with lots of light indoors due to the large windows, and a nice deck for an outside ceremony. Zoe communicated with us and answered all our questions and did our tasting and planning, until a week before the actual day where we were assigned a day of coordinator. I found this system to be not great, since the day of coordinator was essentially a stranger that you've never talked to at all, and you basically have to re explain everything you want. Even though they have an online planning tool (which is old and outdated), I found that they got our aisle directions wrong, the reception layout wrong, and our dinner meals were wrong. Thankfully, we had a separate planner that was able to correct these things, so I recommend getting an outside coordinator that works directly with you if you have room in the budget. Another thing was our limited setup time of 1.5 hours meaning the florist and other vendors couldn't set up earlier with more elaborate decorations and had to do something simple. I found out that this is because they had another wedding at the same place before ours (literally ending at 4) and so they rush to get the place cleaned for the evening wedding. The main room and the suit was renovated, but the bathrooms were all still dingy and not the best/cleanest to use. The food was good though, better than we had at our tasting and they got it out fast. Our vendors were fed the same food, and our guests thought it was pretty good wedding food. Apart from the couple hiccups we had, we thought the venue was great overall and really beautiful and we don't regret having our wedding there at all. It could be a little bit better in the small details for the price though.

From our first meeting with Rachel at King Cole Farm, we knew we were in good hands. Rachel was outstanding throughout the entire process - from our initial visit to the day of the event and even in the days after. She always had a warm smile on her face and took care of anything that came up, no matter how big or small. Rachel put us at ease and made the entire weekend a fabulous experience. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The beautiful scenery where the ceremony took place, the lovely cocktail hour space, and the grand barn doors that the wedding party walked through - it was all an amazing experience. There was plenty of room for the caterer, bar, desserts, late night snacks, and of course, dancing! On the day of the event, we had the pleasure of working with the intern as well. She was so kind, giving rides to the ceremony and back to the cocktail hour and house for our elderly guests. She also helped us with the cleanup at the end of the night. The entire King Cole Farm staff is truly top-notch. I am still getting phone calls, text messages and social media posts that it was the best wedding they have ever attended! I would highly recommend King Cole Farm to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run wedding venue. We had such a wonderful experience, and I hope to use them again in the future!

The Anchorage was amazing! My wife and I got married here last June, and to say everything was perfect would be an understatement. It's hard to put into words explaining how great Woody and Michelle were helping us make our special day go exactly as planned. The property is beautiful, spacious, and well kept. The waterfront view was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony (Woody even went out of his way to make an aisle of sand for us to walk down). The cigar shack was awesome and the barn was also set up for me and my groomsmen to get ready and hang out until the big moment (they especially enjoyed the darts, ring and hook, and bar with a kegerator). My family and I were very happy with the rooms which were spotless, comfortable, and included refrigerators/kitchenettes. My wife was very happy with her space to get ready, especially with Michelle doing everything she could ensuring the girls had what they needed and making sure everyone was stress free! Woody and Michelle were more than accommodating. Breakfast was always delicious (the smoothies and Woodys Waffles were my favorites). They were also life savers dealing with our vendors dropping stuff off (at times earlier than expected), even using their golf cart to help move stuff down to the beach to help set up. The golf cart also came in handy taxing people up and down the hill when needed! I HIGHLY recommend this venue! Woody and Michelle are two of the most kind, accommodating (and hilarious) people I've ever met, and I can't begin to thank them enough for everything they did to make sure our special day went off without a hitch. We fully intend on coming back to enjoy their beautiful BnB again!

Drumore Mill is a different world. It is nestled in a corner of the most rustic township in Amish Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The mill was built in 1752 as a sawmill and a grist mill. It sits in a hollow with 30 acres of tall cliffs and old trees to provide privacy, warmth, and natural beauties. There is a pristine creek that meanders through the property. The Fishing Creek supports native trout and other rare small fishes. The waterfall is adjacent to the buildings. There is a hiking trail within the property. There is wetland and much more. The combination of rustic setting, natural beauties, and historical features makes Drumore Mill amazingly beautiful. One has to see it to believe it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Drumore Mill was an absolutely stunning venue to use for our special day (really weekend). We loved the ease of booking the venue, touring with Thuy, and the promptness and flexibility they offer. An added bonus is the available on site lodging for rental, which we made great use of for our close friends, family, and wedding party to stay in the night before and night of the wedding. We enjoyed the Great Room in the Grist Mill for our rehearsal dinner. Our guests loved how spacious Drumore Mill was, and we appreciated all the attention to detail such as included (but still optional) decor and greenery, and the setup of chairs and other items for the ceremony space. Being able to bring in all of our own vendors at no additional cost was fantastic. The value for renting the property from Thursday to Saturday morning was unmatched and completely worth it. We would recommend Drumore Mill to anyone, and we look forward to booking the property in the future for non-wedding related stays with friends and family.

The staff, especially Mackenzie and her team, were incredibly personable, able to see our vision, helpful, and just "got" us. Every single detail was thoughtfully planned out, and they were so supportive throughout the process. The venue itself was gorgeous, with beautiful and the most perfect space for our 206 guests. The Bayside team were incredible to work with - flexible and accommodated our vendors (Love Seed Mama Jump, Philly Photo Booth, and even a tattoo artist!) Service of food and drinks were beyond amazing! The Skinny Lemon Crush and Espresso Martinis were delicious!! We could not have asked for a better venue and experience for our special day.
