About

Nestled in Walkersville, Maryland, Walker’s Overlook is a picturesque farm and wedding venue. It is conveniently located near Frederick, Maryland as well as being close to Washington DC and Baltimore. A site brimming with centuries of history and possessing antique architecture, weddings have been hosted here since 2012. Between the expansive and idyllic grounds and the pastoral structures, couples can celebrate their milestone moment in style.

Facilities and Capacity

A jewel on the farm at Walker’s Overlook is the centuries-old home that was constructed in 1757. It has a classic brick facade and quaint shutters. There are two dressing rooms in the farmhouse. One of these spaces functions as a game room, providing entertainment for the wedding entourage as well as a chance to mingle. Outside, many couples choose to exchange vows under the branches of the walnut tree located behind the home. Cocktail hour can be held on the patio, offering a designated space for each of the proceedings on your special day. For the reception, the venue boasts a tent that includes a spacious dance floor. Up to 275 individuals can be accommodated in this structure. The wood flooring inside the tent creates a rustic and chic ambience while the neutral tones provide a template suiting a variety of wedding styles.

Services Offered

Walker’s Overlook employs a wedding coordinator who works with you from the initial booking to your actual celebrations. Their job is to ensure that your use of the venue goes according to plan, alleviating some of your wedding-day stress. When you book the farm, you have access to the site for 12 hours which includes the use of the historic home. Tables and chairs are also provided to help you get the site ready for guests. To help you orchestrate your special day, the team at the farm has a list of vendors they can connect you with. That being said, the team also allows you to bring in other businesses, giving couples the ability to craft a wedding that fits them best.

I don't even know where to start! I knew this venue was the right one for me the minute I walked onto the property. Besides the natural beauty, Mark was so friendly and welcoming making it an easy choice for me. From the beginning, Missi has made the whole process so easy and guided me along. I had so many guests come up to me and say that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Mark and his team allowed me to have the wedding of my dreams.

Absolutely amazing. We had our Disney themed wedding here on 5.29.17 and it was everything we dreamed of. Everyone kept commenting on how gorgeoud our venue was and Lori made sure we didn't have a thing to worry about on our big day. Would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking!

The service was excellent. We could not have asked for a more perfect day and would not have been able to accomplish it without the staff at the Lodge. It was awesome. The pricing was great. And when you see it for the first time you wil fall in love with the view. It is gorgeous. The staff really made our experience out of this world.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Great Venue!

I worked as a day-of-coordinated here in June 2013. In addition to loving the beautiful grounds, I was so grateful for the hands-on support of the venue manager and their day-of staff. Not all venues have staff who are willing to go the extra mile to make sure the bride and her family have the day they dreamed of. I was blessed to have their help and will definitely direct future clients and friends here.
