Lancaster, Hershey, Harrisburg & York Wedding Venue - Mount Joy, Pennsylvania

Marissa, Victoria and the team at Cameron Estate Inn literally saved our wedding. There are no words that I can say to truly thank them enough for the role they played in our experience and for making our dreams come true. We were booked at a different venue for over a year and had an absolute nightmare experience. 50 days before our wedding we determined that venue was no longer a viable option and we had to change venues. I was panicked and called CEI on the recommendation of my photographer and was connected with Marissa. I will remember that call for the rest of my life. I explained my situation and before saying anything else she said “Okay, well first off, I want you to breathe. We have your date available and everything is going to be just fine. We’ve got you.” I can still remember the weight that was lifted off my shoulders in that moment because of her. She assured me that even though we were 50 days out, it was plenty of time to re-plan the wedding of our dreams. Sure enough, within 3-4 weeks we had toured, fell absolutely in love with the estate, booked, had our planning meeting, tasting, sent out venue change cards and were on our way as if we were never booked elsewhere. Every time we were at CEI we were greeted by Marissa with a smile and giant hugs as if we were life-long friends. We only got to enjoy being a Cameron Couple for 50 blissful days, but even still, they felt like family and gave me the planning experience I had always imagined. Marissa was there the entire day making sure everything was on track and perfect while also making sure I didn’t have a single need that wasn’t met. I am an event planner and former wedding planner, so I am naturally always thinking 12 steps ahead and have a list in the back of my mind of things that could go wrong and how to fix them if they do. But on our wedding day I was totally relaxed. I honestly knew that they had things handled and everything was going to be perfect. The true, honest and genuine support and guidance you receive from Marissa and Victoria from the first email to the last second of your wedding I do not believe can be matched by any other team at any other venue. Their entire team, from Marissa and Victoria to their culinary team to set up/breakdown are five star. Combine this with the truly breathtaking and magical grounds and venue spaces, sets any couple up to have the most memorable and amazing day of their lives. We will recommend CEI to anyone we meet for the rest of our lives. Marissa and Victoria, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you SO much for treating us like family and giving us a more perfect day than we could have ever imagined.

The first time we went to Cameron Estates was for our 2020 Valentines Day dinner & overnight stay. It was a poor experience & we were very disappointed. We contacted the staff regarding our experience & were contacted by Emily Good. Emily offered us a complimentary dinner due to our poor experience and we finally were able to take her up on that offer this Valentine’s Day (2021.) I can say that this time around they absolutely redeemed themselves. The staff was fantastic, the food was delicious & the atmosphere was extremely welcoming & inviting. We had a wonderful experience & will definitely be returning! Thank you very much Emily. You made a customer out of us once again!

My fiance and I are looking at wedding venues, and found out that Cameron Estate Inn was having a wedding expo. We paid $14 to attend. We pull in and the parking lot is tiny and packed. One lot dead-ends, and with no way to turn around, we had to reverse out of the lot. After the line of cars behind us had to do the same. We didn't even get to see any of the venue, as there was NO parking. If you cant accommodate parking for your own event, how will you accommodate parking for a wedding? We will not be returning and will caution others to do likewise.

This place is AMAZING!!! We had the best day at Cameron Estate Inn and will be recommending this place to everyone, even if it is just for dinner. The event staff ladies and everyone else were amazing and so helpful. Victoria and both Marissa's were so amazing. Elle is a new addition to the event team and is seriously amazing! She went above and beyond with everything we asked of her and had a smile on her face the whole time! The venue is gorgeous! Highly recommend!

Our wedding day at Cameron Estate Inn was absolutely lovely. Our day of coordinator, Katelyn, was attentive and had great attention to detail and we are so grateful for her efforts. The food was fantastic and all the staff at the Inn was wonderful especially Kathy and Yani. However, our wonderful day does not negate the planning process leading up to it. We signed our contract with a previous owner and were never informed of the transition. The new owner is the worst thing to happen to this venue. We went through three day of coordinators and two sale directors during our process since the rate of employee turnover was so high—the coordinators we had for such a brief time couldn’t answer our questions since they didn’t have a copy of our original contract and had no clue what we already paid for. Getting even minor questions answered were the biggest pain with no one answering the phones and emails being responded to longer than a week later often without an actual answer. Even with COVID no consumer should need to go through what we went through. We tried to figure out their COVID protocols and plans as early as March and were told to keep waiting and things would be fine all the way up until it was too late to postpone. When we did express a desire to postpone due to a large amount of elderly and out of state guests the owner herself told us we shouldn’t postpone just because of the elderly because “who’s to say if they’ll even still be alive at that point.”

The venue is wonderful, but it’s just not worth the stress, emotional pain, and disappointment you will endure during the planning process to have your wedding here. Avoid at all costs while under the current ownership.

Had 2 good friends have their weddings here, steer clear. The food was horrible, dry meat at both weddings, sides were frozen vegetables from Giant, please. Bartenders were grumpy who looked like they hated being at every wedding. Drinks were served in thumbnail sized lowball glasses. Wine and beer left out for anyone but liquor is held back like Fort Knox. Parking lot smelled like a sewer. Look elsewhere.

Attended a wedding for 100 guests here and it was a great venue. Looks are very well suited for a wedding we had room for a dance floor and all the wedding activities. I would not go over 100 though. The wedding was outside and they have a great area to do that in the back. Parking is sufficient area is secluded.

Indoor ceremony space was beautiful and elegant, but the small number of staff at the reception meant that there was only one or two trays of appetizers being passed at once. The food could have been hotter.
