About

Hello and welcome to Dulany’s Overlook. My name is Mark Lynch and if you would like a quicker response just send me a text directly to my personal phone. The number is 301-748-5667.

Dulanys Overlook is a 170 acre working crop farm located minutes outside of Frederick Maryland.

It is a short drive from both the Baltimore, Washington and Virginia area.

The property sits high on a hill with expansive views out ahead. There is a historic brick house that is used by the wedding party and family the day of the wedding that includes a beautiful brides room and game room/man cave. The couple will have the entire property for 12 hours on the day of the wedding.

The farm has a historic restored barn on the property with modern restrooms and individual catering space. It can hold up to 200 guests and still have room for dancing.

We have vendors that we like for all the services that you will need for your wedding, but you are also allowed to bring in your own vendors if you have a favorite caterer that you’d like to use.

Each of our wedding couples is assigned a personal wedding coordinator from the time you book with us until the day you are married. They take the stress out of your day and make it one to remember.

Dream Wedding Venue!

I have nothing but incredible things to say about Dulany's! The owner and staff are all wonderful people and were so easy to work with, the venue is spacious and gorgeous, and the mountainous backdrop for our ceremony was more beautiful than I had even hoped for. Some huge selling points for us for the venue were it being pet friendly (this was a non-negotiable), including a day-of wedding coordinator (shout out Tammy!!), having a lot of freedom with the vendors we selected, a huge area for both the bridal party and groomsmen to hang out/get ready, an arch ready to be decorated, easy parking, and a golf cart for getting my elderly relatives around. It was truly a dream wedding and venue and I would recommend it ANYONE!

10/10 would recommend!

Dulany's Overlook is the perfect wedding venue. The owner Mark was a joy to work with. Our assigned day of coordinator Sheila was incredibly helpful. In the last few weeks before the wedding, she really helped us prepare. On the day of, she kept everything running smoothly. The scenery there is gorgeous! The barn was the perfect cocktail hour and reception setting. The string lights...loved it! We definitely recommend having your big day at Dulanys Overlook

Exceeded Our Expectations

This venue was everything I could have asked for & more. Mark & LuAnn were such a joy to work with. Not only was the venue beautiful, but they exceeded our expectations when it came to helping our wedding day run smoothly. LuAnn was our day-of coordinator, and I truly could not have done it without her! She helped us decorate for cocktail hour and re-purposed our ceremony flowers for the reception, and she truly brought my vision to life! In addition, my father is a stroke survivor, and they were extremely accommodating. Mark was sweet enough to drive my father around in their golf cart, and LuAnn helped give him the encouragement he needed to walk me down the aisle. She also helped move his wheelchair for him while we were walking down the aisle, so he had a comfortable place to sit during the ceremony. Again, I cannot thank this team enough for their compassion and professionalism!

Wedding experience

This place truly holds a special spot in our hearts now. The owners are the sweetest and our coordinator made our day as perfect as it could be. They provide a vendors list which I used and loved along with a day of coordinator. They assign you a coordinator and they help in any way from advice about vendors to when you should start buying things. We also did our ceremony in their wooded area but they also offer a lawn area too which is so pretty. Along with the barn for the reception and the house to get ready. One of the reasons I also picked this place was because I knew my hubs would love the man cave too😉They offer SO much more and a special place for weddings.

Dulany's was the perfect venue!

I can't say enough good things about Dulany's for our June 2nd wedding! Starting the wedding venue planning process, there are so many things to think about, but Dulany's made everything SO EASY. Mark & Juanita were so engaging from the moment we stepped foot on the property for the first time, and spent so much time showing us every part of the incredible property (plus - Mark is the ONLY venue owner who asked my husband and I how we met and our engagement story. It seems small, but it really stuck with us). The 15 months leading up to the wedding, we were able to tour and visit multiple times, got incredible vendor recommendations from them, and our coordinator, Julie, was the ABSOLUTE BEST! As stressful as the planning process is, Julie made it so much more relaxing. Any question or worry I had, she answered immediately and worked with us to bring our vision to life. Day of the wedding went absolutely flawless and I credit that to Julie and the amazing vendors we worked with. The grounds are breathtaking, the bridal and groom suite incredible, and as Mark said - it was our venue for the day, and it felt like that. I wish I could get married again here! It was really the perfect day in large part because of the perfect venue.
