lso had a Wedding Coordinator day of named Chloe, who made sure I had all the little details taken care of, and helped with the flow of the timeline of wedding events during the day. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that has all inclusive options, affordable pricing, and all in one location for stay (reception, ceremony, and overnight stay bed&breakfast) you have found your place! I felt like I was living a fairytale the day of and all my wedding dreams came true, and everything went exactly as planned. This estate is so charming and I did not need a ton of decorations due to the historic charm of the estate being as glamorous as it was. The staff make sure the grounds and rooms were very clean. The food was amazing ! Fine dining options with affordable pricing packages! Can’t wait to celebrate anniversaries here in the future ❤️

All of our guests can’t stop talking about how wonderful the food was and how beautiful the venue was. My only negative would be the bridal party changing space. It could stand a little upgrading and a deep clean. The salon chairs were perfect for hair and make up. The bathtub is wonderful but the shower points right at the toilet leaving the whole space soaking wet. They do provide soaps which was great! The bagel tray (12) I had ordered for my ladies didn’t really seem worth the $110 dollars it cost but they were fantastic bagels.
Any questions?

ore. The team was awesome and treated us like we were royalty. We secured Cameron Estate after narrowing down our list from 20 to 7. We then toured 5. The second I walked around the grounds with Lisa, I knew. My husband was not with us so I brought him back to make sure without telling him this was the one. He felt the exact same way. The grounds, the conservatory, the carriage house, everything felt right. We secured Cameron over a year out and Cathi and team were very responsive and receptive to my ideas from day 1. We had 111 people for our day and had plenty of space to stretch out on the dance floor with 13 tables. There was so much room we could have had more tables and not felt squished. The food was amazing, just as good the day of as it was when we had our tasting. We opted for the 4 courses and purchased a dessert display to go with it and it was so good. Everyone said the portions were perfect and no one left hungry. If we had to do it all over again we would pick Cameron again. It truly was a fairy tale wedding.

I was significantly less stressed knowing that everything was being taken care of by the staff. My husbands main priority was good food and boy did they deliver. Several guests told us it was by far the best wedding food they have ever experienced. We also were able to stay the night which made things nice and easy come evening. Although there was another wedding in the other larger reception space, we barely crossed paths and it didn’t affect our day in any way.

e blew us out of the park by how well she handled everything, managed the day and was the glue to each and every part. We worked with Cathi prior to the day. Cathi was so wonderful, kept us on our timeline leading up, always offering her help and made sure all was seamless. The venue- absolutely beautiful. There were two wedding there on this day and we never had any issue of seeing the other party, parking or confusion. If we weren’t told of the other wedding, I wouldn’t have known! Food- every single guest raved about the food. Most expected typical banquet food and all were delightfully surprised by how upscale the entrees were and the seamless execution of serving. I couldn’t have been happier. Staff- the staff was attentive, made me feel truly special on the day and I never heard “we can’t do that” they made every single request work and were beyond helpful. Lodging- we spent the weekend here. The breakfast was amazing, always on time and relaxing. We had a different room for the wedding night and Cathi got us all situated prior to us starting the day in the room. It was a beautiful stay. I could go on and on about every little detail of the wedding and everything Cameron inn did for us. But, if you are considering this venue, take this as your sign to commit to this venue! It was a lot less stressful being that all large items of the wedding were grouped into the package so you’re not working with different vendors for linens, tables, bartenders, etc. it was all handled by Cameron inn. I expected the morning of the wedding to be hectic with last minute touches and a boat load of things to do- because of Ashley, the morning of was so relaxing, everyone was ready early and it just peaceful.

Better late than never, however, I didn't want to rush and give a generic review. My daughter's wedding at Cameron Estates couldn't have been more perfect! Cathi was absolutely wonderful to work with. With a month left to go before the wedding,...
Cathi and I were in frequent communication and she was always very responsive to my phone calls. When we had our "tasting" my daughter and I thought the food was a tad too salty. I mentioned this to Cathi and she noted it and made sure it was on our planning paper. The last 2 weeks were crunch time and several changes were made and I never felt like she was frustrated with me and she accommodated every change. Since my daughter had a Friday wedding, and there were no weddings on Thursday, we were able to get in early to decorate which was a huge plus. The day of.... couldn't have gone off any better. I had made most of the desserts and was worried how I was going to display them all. Cathi and Katrina saw to it that her staff arranged the dessert table and kept it replenished throughout the night! We all know that the food and the DJ make or break a wedding. Well let me tell you... it started with the hor d'oeuvres which were delicious. The (hot) soup and salad were fantastic! I was nervous about having filet but people are still commenting on how excellent the meal was at the wedding. The steak was cooked perfectly, the chicken was as moist as can be and everything was hot!!!! The portions were also good sized, not skimpy. Now the wait staff.... I cannot thank them enough for the amazing job they did. Katrina (the banquet manager) was on top of everything from the get-go. She was such a big help and was present the entire night in case we needed something. Our waitress was so engaged and attentive and looked like she was genuinely having a good time. Of course when you have a group of 20-30 years olds there are bound to be some spills and drops. Not once did they complain and immediately got it cleaned up. I kept apologizing and they said it happens, never once making me feel bad about it. The end of the night.... I was exhausted and since we supplied all the centerpieces, decorations and desserts there was a lot to clean up. Every single waitstaff and Katrina were there to help. I think it took us less than 45 minutes to have everything packed up in cars. My daughter's wedding couldn't have been more perfect (oh I already said that at the beginning). Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who was involved! I neglected to mention the venue: it you have never been to Cameron Estates, you need to go see it. It is gorgeous! They have a beautiful conservatory if you want to be married inside, and a beautiful setting for outside weddings. They have 2 areas for receptions (one big and one smaller) and both are beautiful. The rod iron gate leading to the mansion is sure to catch your eye on the drive in the lane. I would have 2 small suggestions, one from my daughter and one from me: she was a little nervous about the hor d'oeuvres as you don't get to sample those at your tasting. It would have been nice to sample a few. And, I was a little disappointed that the Inn doesn't offer any kind of discount on their rooms the night of the wedding. We would have taken at least 7 or 8 (and they weren't reserved according to the website). But that sure wouldn't stop me from recommending anyone to have their wedding at Cameron Estate Inn.

place to ourselves for the weekend which our guests loved because they couple explore the grounds without worrying about interrupting another wedding. - We could book the Inn rooms for our guests so they could just walk over to their rooms if needed throughout the night. - We were able to have an after party on site in one of the other reception areas (with a bar tender and food). - Although they/the other local hotel didn’t have a shuttle service as a venue, we were able to hire a shuttle that ran throughout the night to the other hotel we had booked for guests. - The grounds were gorgeous!! The perfect fall landscape (although it looks perfect in any season, fall is spectacular). - We could use the bride and groom suites throughout the day which was perfect for regrouping. - Everyone who stayed at the Inn could go to breakfast the next morning which was perfect to share stories over breakfast and catch up with guests you may not have been able to spend time talking to the night before. All in all- beautiful, fun, and a wonderful place to celebrate with friends and family.

reek, gazebo, and ivy-covered wrought iron front gate. And it’s a bed and breakfast, so we could eat, sleep, and get married in the same place. AND the interior decor of the inn is very antique-our room had a claw-foot tub and carved armoire straight out of a Disney movie! The reception space we used was the spring view ballroom, gorgeous chandeliers and a ton of windows. There is a lovely outdoor ceremony area AND a beautiful, separate, fully prepared indoor space-the best rainy-day backup plan of any venue we visited. There were also getting-ready suites available for the bride and groom which we could access as early as we wanted in the morning. They only host one wedding per day in your reception space (up to 2 total per day because 2 spaces), so we could also decorate as early the day of as we wanted-though our amazing day-of-coordinator took care of placing our decorations in the hall. Throughout the planning process, the staff were very promptly responsive to all of our questions. The day of, we had a day of coordinator Haley who did a fantastic job helping with our decorations and checking in with us as the event progressed. Everything went very smoothly and we had an absolutely fairytale wedding. 100/10!

onable compared to other venues near us, especially for all that you get with the different packages. It was a 4 course meal, even had sorbet included! Also, the food was above average for a wedding venue. Especially enjoyed the center cut filet and adult mac n cheese bar! Our wedding day was beautiful. The banquet staff and day of coordinators did a wonderful job setting up. Communication throughout the planning process was great. Yani at the front desk was sooo beyond helpful with whatever I needed, and even helped me on the day of before I walked down the aisle. We had a lot of changes due to COVID or last minute things take place, and Yani always went above and beyond to help. Cathi was very quick to respond any questions, and Judi the owner, though we never met, was very kind to answer our questions if Cathi was unavailable. A few things to note: there can be two weddings at the venue one the same day, which there was for our wedding day. I barely noticed since the reception spaces are far from one another. One weird part was guests from the other wedding were walking around the inn after our wedding was over and we had the inn blocked. And having two weddings with the same reception space made our ceremony pretty early compared to normal. The other thing I would note is the staff at the venue changed during our planning process, so things we were told when we were sold the venue were not the same or some of the documents we initially received were outdated. I would recommend asking a lot of questions and writing things down, this made communication a lot easier with the venue after recognizing the differences from what we initially were told. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Cameron Estate Inn. The grounds, famous front gates, ceremony spaces, banquet rooms, historic inn, and location in Lancaster are all perfect! Having the ceremony, reception, and inn all on the same property was very convenient too. So many of our quests were blown away, asking how I found this hidden gem. Thank you CEI for our fairytale wedding. We hope to visit again in the future for anniversaries!

To Future Cameron Estate Inn Couples, We live just outside of downtown Mount Joy & got engaged in August of 2021. Almost immediately, we hit the ground running with wedding planning and contacting vendors. When we started our hunt for a venue,...
we had a list of non-negotiables: an outdoor ceremony location (with an indoor backup), beautiful gardens for photos, on-site catering, and above all a staff that we could personably connect with to make the planning process easy. We found all the above and MORE during our wedding journey with CEI. Their wedding packages that included alcohol services, cocktail hour, way too many entrees to pick from, linens, changing suites, a day of coordinator, and dessert options made the planning process simple and decisions easy to compare. However, we were never locked into a pre-built package as they allowed seamless flexibility to trade in an unwanted soup course (heck it was too warm for soup in July) for a bonus cocktail hour appetizer! The day of coordinators took away any stress as we were able to drop off all our centerpieces, decor, & boxes of decorations the night before, and they meticulously setup following our requests & guidance before we even arrived the day of our wedding. Our wedding day was spattered with passing rain showers, but the staff of CEI were extremely patient and flexible to be sure to carry out our wedding dream even if the weather would not accommodate. Friends and family alike showered us with endless compliments about the lush gardens, historic charm of the inn, and attentiveness of the staff! You only get one wedding day and partnering with CEI we were able to trust them with all the details and focus on what mattered most — making memories and sharing our love story with friends and family!

Some benefits: if you're planning to get married outside, they can make a game time decision within two hours of your ceremony to switch indoors if necessary, and since it is an inn, they have just under 30 rooms for your closers guests to be able to stay on site. We truly loved working with them and would very much recommend them to anyone looking to get married, no matter how big/small the party size is.

This venue is breathtaking. We immediately fell in love with the Estate and decided to go ahead and celebrate our marriage at CEI. However, I have to say that we are unfortunately disappointed. 1) Communication with the staff became really diff...
icult three months before the event. We had a lovely planning session with one person, and the rest of the event was handled by a different staff member. In our opinion, they did not communicate with each other and planning became hard. Some examples in support of our opinion: a. During the planning session, we were told we had 3 options for the kids meal. The other staff member in charge of paperwork was not aware of that, and only offered us 2 options. b. We have communicated several times that we would not hire a DJ, and the final day-of schedule still had a DJ listed as a vendor. c. We rectified several times that the groom and his party would arrive at 1PM and this change was only partially reflected on the final schedule. d. We have rectified the arrival time of the photographer and this was not reflected on the final schedule, which created confusion for our day-of-coordinator. 2) In our opinion, our day-of-coordinator was very pushy, trying to fit our plans in their plan rather than the other way round. The only important job they had, which was to bring the bride to the ceremony and allow her to walk in at a specific time during the chosen processional song, was handled poorly, throwing out all the planning the bride and her party put in making a grand entrance. We specifically asked to have the groom wait at the ceremony location, and he was picked up (late) at the same time of the bridal party. During the event, some decisions were made based on partial information given to the couple, which resulted in things not going smoothly. 3) Despite the price of the location, the food was embarrassingly hit or miss. The hors d'oeuvre were really good, but dinner was not consistent. We ordered a Caesar salad with either hanger steak or salmon, and a vegetarian option. When we tasted the meals about six months before the event, we weren't given the option to try multiple entrees, so we ended up only tasting these two meals mentioned above and we had to pay for the taste testing. We could have tried more options, but that implied paying for another dinner in full, so we decided to go with what we tried. At the reception, most of our guests ordered the steak and it was very inconsistently cooked. Some steaks were delicious, some were bloody and rubbery. The size of the salad was very small. We didn't even know what the vegetarian option was going to be and, frankly, more of our guests would have picked that if they knew what it was going to entail. 4) In our opinion, it is unacceptable to not communicate that the bar is being moved from the cocktail hour location to the reception room after the guests have been in line for so long, and it is unacceptable to not communicate when the bar is about to close. 5) Dinner was served almost one hour later than scheduled. While we understand that delays happen, we feel we could have received better treatment as customers. Unfortunately, their delay resulted in one hour of entertainment being cut, as the reception was terminated as scheduled. We feel that since it was not our fault for the delay, we should have been able to stay and enjoy the two and a half hours of dance party as scheduled. All in all: beautiful but pricy location, for subpar service

Like many 2020 and 2021 brides and grooms, my now husband and I had downsized and moved venues due to Covid. We were very nervous about re-planning our wedding with a new venue and team in less than a year. Truly, it was the BEST decision we ...
have ever made. We were sold by the options for ceremony (front lawn and conservatory), and also the option of the Spring View Ballroom or Carriage house for the reception. We loved the idea that our family and friends would walk to the ceremony space from the Inn or parking lot, and then walk a stone-throw away to cocktail hour and the reception. The all-in-one location is A++. It also helps that all the rooms are STUNNING and recently updated. Our guests were raving about the venue spaces and convenience of it all. We also need to mention the grounds, because we had no problem finding spots for photography - the creek, a little reflection pool, the conservatory, the corn fields in the back (gorgeous at sunset, by the way), the stone bridge, a little gazebo, the front gate and so, so many more. We opted to do a first look at the stone bridge, and the preliminary photos are to die for. Our photographer even made the comment this was his favorite venue to shoot, as of late. The food is also a key part of any wedding venue. The food was AMAZING, and there was plenty of it! None of us left feeling like we weren’t full. If anything, a little too full. We had the option to reserve the whole Inn for our guests. If you have the opportunity, 100% worth it. My husband and I came on site the day of rehearsal, woke up on the big day, and walked across the building or parking lot to our respective rooms to get ready. The team was always checking in to ensure we were comfortable and happy. It was a game changer to be able to walk everywhere, and have a walk up the stairs to our rooms after the evening. Cathy, was on-site is an absolute doll. She helped us with last-minute room questions and requests. She also makes a killer breakfast. Crystal, our day-of coordinator was amazing. She set up our decor, and actually sent us videos of what it looked like and asked us if anything needed to be moved. It was a totally stress-free experience, which every couple can appreciate. Our honest and true recommendation is to use Cameron Estate. We are so thrilled with our decision (as you can probably tell).

Emails go to a big group of staff so you are not entirely sure who will respond, and was also hard to get a question answered by phone so had to email 3. The Inn rooms themselves are separate from the wedding venue staff/management, so we were not given full disclosure on room rates etc for inn block when being sold on this perk (which we ultimately cancelled with a penalty $375 even during Covid-19 and there are no incentives offered to book the block such as free couple stay or anything either). So word to the wise, make sure to ask for all rates/policies before signing a contract!!! 4. DJ alerted to the new sound system less than a week before wedding 5. DJ was not allowed to play music for cocktail hour through main reception space doors – luckily not many guests noticed that fact NOTE-- If it were not for a two wedding day, I think some of the following snafus may have been avoided. 6. With two weddings on property, our wedding ceremony start time fell behind 20 minutes even though our group was ready to go 7. They owner was giving wedding tours on the same day of a double ceremony so lots of activity on property 8. Bride/groom not alerted to a “specialty cocktail hour food & beverage” set up in ceremony space after wedding 9. Main wedding coordinator left before night was over 10. Not all food prep notes were followed like (cheese and dressing on side of salad).

ew date in 2021. It was important to us that we get you both settled on a new date with no additional fees required! We are sorry you thought you did not receive any appetizers—as you mentioned in your post, these were the hors d’oeuvres and champagne brought to you in the Conservatory for you and your husband to enjoy during your photos. While we did have another Cameron Couple at the Estate with their parents on that Sunday, their walk through was completed more than 4 hours before your guest arrival time. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and will be sure to share it with the team as we continuously work to improve our products and service for future couples. We had such a wonderful time planning your big day and are thrilled to hear you both had the wedding of your dreams! We look forward to seeing you both back at Cameron for a romantic getaway!

Our micro-wedding was absolutely perfect at Cameron Estates Inn. I first spoke with Judy at the end of July 2020 on the phone about the idea of having our micro-wedding there – she was able to quickly get me and my now husband in for a tour. ...
We toured Cameron Estates Inn on July 31 with Judy and knew immediately this was our venue. Incredibly, Cameron had an opening for a Friday, Oct 23, 2020 micro-wedding. We worked closely with Katie and Katelyn through the whole process – emailing and phone calls. My husband and I had a lot of questions (A LOT!) and they were always quick to answer them and help us along the way. We met with Katelyn in early Oct to go through our final details and get a final tour of the property and were so impressed with the organization and care that went into our wedding details even with only 14 guests. I stayed overnight with my sister the night before our wedding and we arrived after hours, and their innkeeper met us and helped us get all our stuff loaded into our room. The wedding day was nothing short of magical. The property is gorgeous and the fall foliage was perfect that Oct weekend. The grounds of CEI are simply stunning. The food we selected for the reception was top-notch, as well as the passed appetizers and wedding cake. All of the staff we interacted with were fantastic, including the reception staff that went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Katelyn checked in with me multiple times throughout the day and accommodated all my requests. The biggest one that she helped out with was allowing us to use the ballroom to have our first dance rather than in the porch where we had our reception. She even moved the flowers from the mantel in the conservatory to the ball room so we could have them for pictures. She checked in with us throughout the reception as well. Everything was set up beautifully. The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready in – even had makeup and hair chairs as well as nice mirrors. The staff were also helpful in helping us organize an afterparty for our family that stayed overnight…in fact, every single one of our guests stayed overnight and commented on what a great property it was! We loved our micro-wedding at Cameron Estates Inn!! It was more than we could have hope for!

ul 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.

Where do I even begin... Let's start back in 2019... my husband and I fell in love with CEI the minute we saw the property and met the old team of coordinators. Gorgeous spaces, mature trees everywhere, history behind the inn; it seemed like a...
dream. We were greeted with kindness and assured everything would go smoothly. Fast forward to the last 6 or so months... the entire planning team changes, including the owner. We were not notified until we reached out. In August 2020, I began to panic as my international family was unable to enter the country due to borders being closed. My husband and I agreed to move the wedding to 2021, to ensure my family could come. That sparked us to talk with the new owner, Judy. In our first call with Judy, as I begged her to let us postpone (we even offered to pay everything as if it was held on schedule). She told me (and I quote), "You know, people have gotten married in wars", and "If I do this for you then I have to do it for everyone". Mind you, we were just told before this call that we were one of two weddings with international family. We also found out there was another similar-sized wedding the same day as ours (like what?) Shocked and heartbroken, my husband and I contemplated saying "screw it", and losing the money we already deposited to just wipe our hands of this place. We decided losing a small fortune was not the most financially sound decision, and carried on. But it goes on... We were constantly emailed by different people, as the cameron email goes to their whole team. We frequently waited several days for responses. Multiple items were wrong when the new team took over, and our documents were "lost" or "misplaced". Booking the inn rooms was a nightmare. To top it off, we got a call from the owner 7 days before our wedding, asking if we could move to the tent. She knew about the new covid protocols a week and a half before calling us, and when I asked her why she waited so long she said, "I thought you would be just as mad if I told you last week instead of today". The week before the wedding was a total scramble. We were fortunate to have run into Katie, who talked to Judy about working out a plan for us to keep our reception where it was originally planned for. Katie and Rachel are really the only reasons I gave 2 stars instead of none. The day of the wedding went pretty smoothly. Our coordinator, Rachel, was sweet. There were some things that weren't right, i.e. no sign at the ceremony saying no cell phones, and we somehow ended up with a sparkler send-off that we didn't ask for, but the day itself was beautiful and full of love. In summary, be cautious if you choose to get married here, unless you are ready for a Rollercoaster or have a separate planner. I am very detail-oriented, which literally saved our day from being a disaster like the last 6 months were. Covid did not ruin the experience leading up to our special day, but the owner and her lack of empathy came close to doing so. I wish I didn't have to write a negative review, but this was our experience and it needs to be shared as much as possible. Thanks for reading and best of luck.

d some of the other staff that I spoke with briefly were very kind, easily within reach, and worked with us to create the vision that we had hoped for despite Covid. On wedding weekend, they made us feel so special, helped the day to go smoothly, and decorated the venue just as we had envisioned. We are so grateful for all that they did for us, and recommend this venue strictly because of their presence.It is also worth mentioning that the food was truly phenomenal. Unfortunately, we did experience an unfortunate episode with a bartender. The bar was shut down 30 min earlier than was paid for, resulting in questioning as to why. In response, this bartender began cursing at my father, hitting the side of the tent, etc., which did ruin part of the mood for the evening. Emily was kind and did attempt to rectify the situation and Katie did assist us in refunding, however it should have never happened. Unfortunately, we did hit bumps in the road that were not a reflection of the staff members mentioned above. Navigating a pandemic was no easy task, (which we understand as healthcare workers), but there were issues that need to be brought to light.During our time, a new owner began. To put it frankly, this owner was too involved in the planning process. Every detail was a fight with her, and there was constant frustration after each phone call.After a discussion regarding CDC guidelines that the owner did not initially believe in and us wanting an outdoor tent (since we were unable to get out of the contract),the owner agreed to allow us to put a tent up at our cost.After securing all of these details, guidelines changed again out of everyone’s control, which forced the owner to put up her own tent.This “circus” tent that she chose was a joke, and while it was understood it had to be put up last minute in Aug, it was a long battle to have a proper wedding tent for our wedding taking place in 2 months. We were not being given a discount, so we did not find it unjust to ask for a proper setup for the amount of money we were paying.We offered to pay for extra lighting and heating of the tent as necessary. After finally getting that secured, the struggles did not end. The next round of issues included having to push to get tree stumps removed from inside of the tent, the location of the bar to prevent guests from constantly having to walk up/down multiple steps, and securing a small tent to allow for proper social distancing. This owner would constantly promise us that we could do things, and then later make her staff tell us that we could not. Had I not been so organized, our day could have potentially been a disaster with the constant back and forth. It was endless fighting to not have things ripped away from us that had been promised. After speaking with other couples and seeing other reviews, we take comfort in knowing that we were not the only ones dealing with this. For the sake of an honest review, Cameron Estate would find themselves in a much better position to have that owner take a back seat, and allow her amazing staff to do their jobs appropriately.We are so thankful to those staff members that assisted us in our beautiful day, but are disappointed at the amount of push back from the owner.

d up leaving and our experience changed. Our original date was set for April 2020 and we had a planning session with Victoria and Joy and it was horrendous. They were rude to us and our day of coordinator and consistently pushed us into decisions that made things easier for them instead of what we wanted. They made a really big deal when we asked if a “picky eater” adult guests could order the children’s meal even though we told them that we would pay the price for an adult and would be sure to let them know the guests age (for alcohol package). My now husband left the planning session as upset as I was and he is probably the most easy going person I have ever met. He was so done with Cameron and we instantly began dreading our wedding day. From that point on I would cry every time we had to talk to them because it was unnecessarily stressful. We even put serious thought into losing whatever money it costs to be done with the venue so we could find a new one that would respect us as customers. We ended up having to postpone due to COVID and that was another issue. We tried to reschedule for 2021, but were told that it had to be in 2020. We booked and paid for a Saturday, but only had a handful of saturdays left to choose from. They told me it had to be one of those or a different day of the week, then said they had a lot of Thursday’s available. We live in Virginia so a weekday wedding was not going to work for us or our guests. We ultimately chose a Saturday in October that worked for most of our vendors. As our date approached I was dreading getting in contact with Cameron again because of the experience we had been having with Victoria and Joy. To my surprise they were no longer at Cameron and a new team was on board for our day. We spoke with the owner, Judy, who was able to answer some of our questions- she even took time out of her vacation to speak with us. We then began working with Katie and Rachel and things turned around again. They were understanding and willing to listen to our concerns, questions and what we wanted. They made it easy to have a virtual planning session and kept me up to date on the constantly changing restrictions due to COVID. We are thankful that we had the opportunity to work with Katie and Rachel to make our wedding everything we dreamed of. They made sure to add special details to help make it extra special.

As we got closer to our final planning meetings a new team was hired. That is when we started to work with Ktie Luckenbaugh. She hands down saved our wedding day and made everything okay. She worked extremely hard to try and make things right for us. The reason there are 4 stars is because Katie brought things back for us. Without Katie I'm afraid this review would not be 4 stars.

The venue itself was gorgeous and the day of the wedding went pretty well overall...but leading up to it was a complete disaster. The special events team was terrible at communicating. There were 5 people sharing the same email address and you ...
never knew who you were talking to, and the employees didn't seem to share what info they received from us whenever we emailed. It would take days to get an email reply. When we had meetings/phone calls to make decisions for things like the menu, table settings etc, not everything was written down in our file. If I was not an organized person who kept track of everything and had notes and documents printed, etc I think we would have been missing more items from our wedding. The venue markets itself as an all-inclusive, stress free experience where brides can be more hands-off, but I think I had to be more involved in the planning and follow up than I would have if I had done a DIY venue. Therefore, appetizers that were requested months before the wedding didn't get served on our wedding day, silver chargers didn't get put on the tables, etc. There was so much disorganization that things that we paid for were not put out on our wedding day. We paid for and didn't receive a s'mores bar, podium for our ceremony, flavored waters, and we got the incorrect pasta which was completely different from the one we picked out. Also to warn you, try to guess the best you can ahead of time  for the actual guest count for your wedding day. In August 2019, we paid for 80 guests in our contract and with the pandemic, we had 50 actually show up. The venue does not give you money back for a lower guest count. You have to spend the money on other food and drink to meet a catering minimum. Therefore, we had to spend about $2000 on random over the top things that we didn't even want, like a s'mores bar or flavored waters. This made it extremely frustrating when we didn't receive these items on our wedding day that the venue essentially forced us to buy. Another thing that was terrible was that due to the pandemic there was obviously restrictions placed on events beyond anyone's control. But basically we were forced to have our wedding and were not allowed to postpone because "the state is allowing modified weddings so if the venue can legally have the wedding they would." Technically the venue could not hold my wedding if the 80 person guest count in the contract, unless it was outside, which I did not pay thousands of dollars to have my wedding in a tent instead of a gorgeous ballroom and indoor ceremony space. The venue pushed us to have our wedding and luckily with the guest count being dramatically lower as the wedding approached,  we were able to have it inside. The customer service was so bad that it took almost 3 weeks to even get a refund for those items that we paid for and didn't get at the wedding. They originally wanted to give us an estimated refund amount that they felt "comfortable" giving...so my husband and I went back through all our paperwork and did the actual calculations of how much they actually owed us, and the venue eventually agreed to that after some back and forth. I have heard other brides say that they had to hire a separate coordinator for planning their wedding there because this place was so disorganized. I would agree with that...if I wasn't hyper organized & attentive to detail, we would have been completely screwed on our wedding day, we would not have noticed all of their mistakes.

ifferent 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.

The ladies helped me with so much. They moved my one flower arrangement from the fireplace to the reception hall. Another small but VERY helpful thing was the wedding party gifts. I didn't want to drive myself to my wedding, and I didn't want my girls to see their gifts prior. The night of the rehearsal, I asked Elle for some help in setting them up in the rooms. She had it all ready to go in the suit when we walked in! The other thing was that even though I did not stay at the inn the night before, Victoria allowed the girls and I to have the suit earlier than stated in the contract. Marissa helped keep my dress off the ground when walking to the Conservatory for the ceremony. They straightened my train out and gave me a pep talk before I walked down the aisle, which was the most helpful and calming part of my entire day. Ladies, thank you a million times over for making my day the most beautiful day ever. (rain and all!)

I got married in September of 2019 at Cameron Estate and I can’t even begin to put into words how I feel about this place. I toured 10 wedding venues total and Cameron was my first one. From the second I stepped foot onto the property I was ama...
zed. They had everything I wanted for my wedding day. I loved all the different venue areas on the estate so my guests didn’t feel like everything was just in one room: our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and the after party were all in different rooms. We really got to use the whole venue throughout the day and night. Victoria was amazing from the first meeting to the last. Marissa and Elle were so amazing as well and helpful with all my constant messages and phone calls. They were all there for the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. I honestly can’t tell you how much I appreciated everything those ladies did for me! There were two main things that stuck out for me that made my choice a lot easier when picking my wedding venue and it was the fact that it was an all inclusive venue which made everything so much easier and also the fact that they had onsite accommodations for us the night of the wedding. I would 100% recommend this wedding venue. And I can only hope to one day be invited to attend a wedding there❤️

I would recommend Cameron Estates to couples looking for a venue for multiple reasons. First and foremost, the staff is phenomenal! We toured the grounds with Victoria who was newer to the team at the time but I wouldn’t have known unless she t...
old us! Shortly after putting our deposit down, Marissa was hired as Victoria’s assistant and let me tell you, these two make a fantastic team! They genuinely care about their couples and do everything they can to make the wedding planning process as stress free as possible. As if it couldn’t get any better, Elle became a part of the team about a month before our wedding. and was our day-of coordinator. She is truly amazing and made my day run so smoothly, everyone who met her that day absolutely loved her!!!! I cannot day enough positive things about those three (the rest of the staff is also great, but I spent most of my time working with them!) If you need any other reasons to book Cameron as your venue, the its dog friendly so our fur baby could be a part of our day and it honestly wouldn’t have been the same without him. Our guests raved about the food and everyone who stayed over night enjoyed their rooms and breakfast the next morning.

My wife and I attended a wedding here a couple weeks ago. The bottom fell out and it started pouring. We were unprepared. A staff member carried an umbrella in both hands and kept us both from getting soaked. I cared more about my pregnant wife...

nts on the property to the point of excessive and impersonal. You are not made to feel like a unique event/person at the venue or Inn. They have weird timeframes to be in the reception space that can be difficult on the wedding day. You are told “no” for a lot of requests that really are typical of a wedding venue. They do not communicate well as a facility. One person says one thing while another says differently. They have a form for everything, it’s gets exhausting! Pros: Venue is historic and beautiful. Inn staff are very nice, especially, Jess. Food is very good and they accommodate allergies or things you don’t like (may be an up charge though). Guests loved the venue and reception space. Springview ballroom is modern and chic (carriage house has weird 1980’s mirrors). Many vendors have knowledge of the space. Easy to travel to. Secondary hotel close by (SureStay). Overall, if you don’t care about the $$$ and want a romantic, historic space then it’s a lovely place. However, if your watching your budget and get annoyed with excessive rigidness then maybe this isn’t the place for you and your fiancé. I am hopeful once they get some things smoothed out it will be improved but until then no rose petals on the floor...
Response from the Vendor on 11/08/2018
Thank you for your feedback. The name associated with this review does not match the name of any of our recent clients, so we are not certain as to whether this post is written from a guest’s perspective or not. As with any business, there is...
the possibility of turnover and change in employment. Our management team notified each and every CEI client individually of the changes in employment at the very soonest they were able to. Phone calls, emails, and in person consultations were offered to each and every client as an opportunity to get to know their consultant at the convenience of the client. The individual that assisted in the initial tour for a couple was not a wedding day planner; therefore there was no staff member, or contractual attendant, lost during this transition. Our venue is all inclusive; we do not offer a site fee as most venues in the area do which our clients love! This aids in making CEI a very affordable venue for our couples to host their dream wedding. There are certainly opportunities to enhance and/or upgrade your specific package, and these upgrades may have an additional fee. We are saddened that you feel you were not made to feel special. However, each and every guest at Cameron Estate is a priority and we aim to please all. We are thrilled that we did so in your case as your guests expressed their love for our beautiful property, reception space, and location. We are happy to hear you enjoyed our staff—we all love what we do and hope to put smiles on the faces of everyone who enters the Estate. Please feel free
