Plus, we are just minutes from local shopping and Downtown Philadelphia.

We had the most beautiful wedding day at SCC. We can’t thank the staff at Springfield enough for the amazing service, assistance with wedding planning, and excellent day of coordination! We were married on a snowy Friday in January and they were super helpful with golf cart transportation across the property to get me where I needed to go from the hotel getting ready room to the ceremony room. Scott was an outstanding maitre de the night of rehearsal and the day/night of the wedding and Nancy was wonderful and so easy to work with from initial emails to dinner tasting to countless phone calls (on my end) to the wedding day and everything in between! Bartenders and servers were extremely friend both during the rehearsal dinner and the wedding day! Beautiful martini bar add on was a HUGE hit! So happy and thrilled we chose Springfield! We would chose them all over again if we could!

Normandy Farm Hotel & Conference Center 

5.0

Blue Bell, PA
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Situated in the heart of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, our property features two ballrooms of the rustic elegant style with spacious outdoor terraces and gardens, a farm-chic contemporary restaurant, 141 hotel rooms, including suites in our meticulously restored gate and carriage houses, and many world-class amenities to make your next gathering an extraordinary affair.

We guide you through the many choices that you will make and help create a day for you that expresses your personal style and taste and is, well, historic.

As every bride reading this review will know, planning a wedding isn't easy. You start your planning process reading every vendor review and eventually find things you like and feel convinced these people are going to make your day easier, and perfect but that feeling doesn't always hold out throughout the entire planning process. With Normandy Farms, however, that couldn't have been further from truth. From our first visit to the day of our event, Normandy carried themselves professionally, communicated effectively, and ultimately gave us everything we asked and paid for. To this day, we still received compliments fro our guests on everything from the bartenders (s/o Julian) to the food and event staff who made the day perfect. Thef ood was excellent and the buffet stations offered really catered to our casual but elegant event. The venue worked spectacularly with all our outside vendors and not a single glitch was to be accounted for. The only feedback I provided Normandy Farms regarded a miscommunication about the fabric draping options they provided , but ultimately, for the right price, my vision was carried out to perfection. The second piece of feedback was regarding the billing technology offered. It's 2023, there should be a way to make the venue payments online, not solely via check in person. Having the hotel onsite was an immeasurable bonus and really added to the ease of the day. Our guests still rave about the breakfast buffet the day after.

Where to begin!? The Hertzog family puts their heart and soul into this venue, you and your special day. Kristen, Scott and Makayla were delightful to work with, understanding our unique needs and helping us plan for a safe and special day during a pandemic. They are thorough, kind and truly put the needs and desires of the couple above all. To add, we rented out the entire B&B and our guests truly loved their experience at both the wedding and as a B&B guest. While barn weddings aren't for everyone, I highly encourage DIYers and those looking for a special place with character to partner with the Hertzog family and let them help make your dreams a reality!

Drumore Mill 

5.0

Drumore, PA
  • Up to 125 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $4,700

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.

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.
