Dulany's Overlook

s - all in one location. The owner, Mark, was great to work with and was so personable. My husband and I had a great time with him when we toured the property. We had some difficulty with the provided wedding coordinator since our coordinator had to be changed twice due to staff changes. We ended up with a great coordinator (Jennifer Carpenter) who was able to make our big day come to life and be just as magical as we would have hoped. The one down side to this venue which we didn't realize until the rehearsal is that all items need to be cleared out of the house the night of the wedding. We didn't schedule in time to clean up the suite, so we had to go back and clean up right after the reception. It wasn't a huge deal, but I wasn't planning on cleaning that space up so make sure you schedule that in. Overall, great venue and so beautiful!

or set up help, etc.). The house and barn on site had a working elevator which was excellent for our mom in a wheelchair. Would recommend!

rything that we were looking for (outdoor/indoor contingency, great cocktail hour, preparation space for the ladies and gentlemen, beautiful scenery, private ceremony) at an exceptionally affordable rate. Mark and Brittany were readily available for all questions and visits. Brittany did a simply amazing job setting up our areas and coordinating with all of our vendors. We could not have asked for a better location for our wedding.

s coming together, but with Kim's guidance everything was smooth and stress free on our big day. Not only is Dulanys absolutely gorgeous (our pictures are insanely beautiful!), but they have such a solid handle on local vendors. We really just followed their recommendations and were so happy with every aspect of our wedding. I had really hoped to get married outside but we had a rainy day. Kim waited until the last minute to have me make a decision, and before she asked, had the team prepare the inside of the barn for our ceremony so I could see what it looked like vs. the way we had talked about setting it up for the reception. They did a fabulous job of transforming the barn for our ceremony and then again for our reception. Truly cant recommend Dulanys or Kim enough :)

ouse for bridal and grooms party. Multiple choices for ceremony but we went with the forest alcove and it was so romantic and beautiful. The reception space is a rustic but upscale barn with huge doors that open to a breathtaking view. This venue comes with a day of coordinator too. I cannot recommend enough!!!

f our day was either not the way we planned with our assigned planner or we were told we couldn’t have it. For example we were told we could not have sparklers for the send off, yet many other weddings they have had this year has had them. The table settings that our coordinator created with us we’re nothing like what we planned on the big day, as if they didn’t care how we originally planned it. We were nothing but patient and cooperative when they were low staffed, yet got treated like scum. I know someone else who booked with this venue this past year and has her wedding coming up within the next month, yet hasn’t heard from anyone from the venue and has reached out many times. The owner refuses to answer his clients due to advice from his “lawyer”. There are many other points as to why this venue was the worst decision to make for our wedding. It’s been over a year since I got married at this venue, and I wasn’t even going to write a review because I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but I am continually finding new reasons why we were ripped off to this day. All this venue cares about is the money, not your special day.

questions, contacting our vendors and making sure that everything went fairly smoothly. We did have a little hiccup that resulted in the ceremony starting about 15 minutes late and I later learned that the programs were not readily available to all the guests and there was an issue with putting out the place cards, but otherwise everything was wonderful Holly did her best to keep things on track the rest of the time. The views are gorgeous and the venue and house are very well kept, clean and attractive! The venue also was very accommodating as we had to go through the process of postponing our wedding to August from our original date in May, due to COVID. They did everything that they could, and were flexible and worked with us to make our special day everything we hoped it would be!

e puppies for guests to snuggle during cocktail hour! From start to finish Brittany was wonderful. She was super responsive and helpful during the planning phase, and she kept everyone calm and where they needed to be day of. Everything went super smoothly and the venue itself couldn't be more beautiful. Highly recommend if a barn wedding is your style. The views are gorgeous and the staff is second to none!

Dulany's and the amazingly breathtaking venue. Beautiful grounds, wonderful views, rustic/authentic cocktail hour area and the incredible barn for the reception led to a fun and memorable day. The planning process was stress free with Shannon's help. She was a pleasure to work with and helped the day run smoothly. My daughter's wedding day was absolutely MAGICAL and was everything she envisioned. Thank you all for making it special!! I highly recommend Dulany's Overlook to anyone looking for that PERFECT wedding venue!!!

ing the entire process. I would definitely recommend this venue if you are considering a barn wedding! There are two places to have the ceremony outside, and both are beautiful!

Ann and she was fabulous. Great communication from the very beginning and she made the entire day easy. The venue itself is spectacular...from the gorgeous ceremony space to the wonderful house for preparations to the rustic yet classy barn for the reception...just top notch. Our guests could not stop talking about how lovely it was and we agree - we are so thankful to LuAnn and the entire staff at Dulany's!

. From there we were treated amazingly by the owners and every employee we met. Once we settled on the venue, we were provided with a day of coordinator to help us with the planning. Shannon was amazing and I couldn't imagine what we would have done without her. Overall it is a beautiful venue with owners and employees that care about their customers, I couldn't recommend it enough.

from out of state, and she made sure I stayed on the right track, coordinated the day of, and really made sure the day was perfect. I can't say enough about this place and I dont think my guests can either. It was soooo perfect. Definitely worth every penny

looks with their own unique feel. The amenities at Dulany's were great. We had full use of the most of the attached house for our bridal & groomsmen suites to get ready day of. The kitchen and adjoining restrooms really class up the joint. We had plenty of space for 100 guests and the photos we were able to get around the property were priceless.

ad my wedding on the lawn with such an amazing view and then we went over to the barn where the cocktail hour and reception is held. Everyone raved about how beautiful this venue was and I was so happy everyone loved it. My favorite part of the venue is the fact that the back wall of the barn can be slid open to reveal the most amazing view during the reception. My coordinator for my wedding was Holly. I highly recommend requesting her! She is fun and so easy to work with. The best part about Holly is she isn't afraid to speak her mind and she gets things done! A huge thank you to the owner of the venue, Mark, and everyone involved for providing an amazing venue and awesome service to help create my dream day!

d I didn't have a clue. The venue was gorgeous and made for beautiful photos. My husband and our groomsmen had a blast playing pinball before the ceremony and our guests loved having cocktails and dancing in the barn. We would highly recommend Dulany's for a wedding venue.

tions. We were being threatened with cold weather and muddiness in the lead up to the big day. They were very flexible, allowing us until 12 pm to decide if we wanted to get married outside or in the barn for a 3 pm wedding. The temperature was in the 50s and got down in to the 40s but it never felt cold in the barn for cocktail or the reception. I did not have to worry about a thing and it all went smoothly.

knew exactly what we would be getting if we booked with them. As soon as we left that day, we knew Dulany’s was it for us. Not only because the grounds fit what we were looking for, but because it was obvious that the people who ran it actually cared about and were interested in the couples that booked with them. We toured 8 venues before seeing this one, and none of the others made us feel as welcome and comfortable as Mark did that first day. Liz was our coordinator and she was a gem throughout our planning process! The weeks leading up to our wedding we had a ton of rain and ended up having to relocate our ceremony site the morning of. Instead of being in a frenzy or frustrated about the last minute change, Liz and Mark took care of getting everything set up in the right space in the most relaxed and professional manner, which only further solidified my love for this place and their staff. If you’re looking for a stunning venue with top-notch people running it, Dulany’s is your place. We received endless compliments on the venue and staff the day of and following our wedding, and we could not be more pleased with our experience. Even with the last minute ceremony site change our day was absolutely perfect and we can’t recommend Dulany’s enough!

. She answered all my questions in the months leading up to the wedding and handled all of our fires on the day. I do wish I had booked a day-of coordinator as well, just because Lori is only one person and she was busy doing venue set-up and handling vendors, and it would have been nice to have someone in the room with me to help control my crazy family and make the decisions for me. But I cannot say enough about how beautiful, elegant, and professional everything was. Work with as many suggested vendors as possible! It makes life so much easier that they all know each other and already have each other's cell numbers. And they were fantastic as well.

ad a perfect wedding, guest have not stopped raving on how beautiful the venue was. Thank you for allowing me to have such a beautiful wedding at your venue!

s the location was. The staff at Dulaney’s Overlook were so easy to work with. We would like to thank Juanita for being extremely responsive and helpful when we went on our tour. She was very welcoming and accommodating. She made us feel at home from the very first time. We knew Dulaney’s was the place we wanted for our wedding that very same day. We are also more than thankful with our amazing coordinator, Holly! Holly was God sent. She helped with the wedding process from the beggining until the day of our wedding. Holly made our special day go exactly as we planned it - and exceeded our expectations. We did not feel stressed out at any given point because Holly was always on top of things. If we had to choose again, we will absolutely choose Dulaney’s all over again.

ony and we were worried that it wasn't going to be outside, but the venue was able to clean the benches off and we had an amazing ceremony. The barn is so unique in the fact that there are two levels. One for cocktail hour and one for the reception. I love that people can spread out and have different views. Mark the owner is very kind and is willing to help out with whatever you need on your wedding day! They assign you a wedding coordinator, but I would definitely recommend having a second one (you pick) to help out with decorations, setting up and cleaning up. Their coordinator helps oversee the process leading up to it and coordinate with the vendors. Be prepared if you have a summer wedding like we did, your caterer will blow through some ice :) Other than those tidbits, we'd 100% get married there again and I still can't believe it's over :(

nt over backwards to make this day everything we dreamed of. Mark, the owner, was very helpful and even ran extra electrical out to the forest for us when we decided to have a nighttime wedding and needed to add more lighting. All of the venue staff had everything run so smoothly that we almost didn’t know they were there. The whole night was amazing and I can’t recommend Dulany’s Overlook and their staff enough.

eeded for our preparation, our pictures, and our guests. Our only struggle is that due to the reception hall being a barn and it being shockingly cold on our wedding date, we did not feel enough heaters were available for our guests. We would highly/strongly recommend using Dulany's if you are getting married in May-September but maybe not April like us or October.

e farmhouse and barn at the top of the hill, we looked at each other and said, “this is the place.” While you can see for yourselves how beautiful the property is, you can’t see how the owners treat you as a client. Mark and Juanita are welcoming, warm, and beyond honest. They made sure that we had the venue set up the way we wanted and that the property was immaculate. While Mark and Juanita assign a coordinator, we highly recommend having a third-party planner, as the coordinator is only responsible for helping to make sure that the venue is set up the way you want (for example, tables and chairs are where you want, etc.). We found having a separate wedding planner really ensured that the details and design were set up the way we wanted. Besides having a perfect, picturesque location and property, we enjoyed having the freedom and privacy of the property the entire day. Having our active dog as part of our wedding was incredibly important to us. The pet policy at Dulany’s Overlook which allowed our dog access to all areas on our wedding day made the day even more perfect. Mark will be there on the day of to ensure there are not issues, in fact, when our shuttle buses couldn’t make the turn onto the property, he jumped on one of the shuttle buses to show the drivers how to access the property from a secondary location. We loved the property for our Sunday wedding and our guests are still raving about how beautiful it was. However, several of our guests commented that although the venue was gorgeous, the bathrooms were not up to par. Several of our guests figured out they could go to the farmhouse, but others tried to hold it instead of using the bathroom trailer. Every time we visited the venue, the bathroom was always fine, but I don’t believe they’re serviced throughout the weekend, so by a Sunday wedding they leave a little to be desired. I’m sure this could be addressed for the future, and would still highly recommend Dulany’s Overlook.

sure everything was done exactly how we wanted it. It rained on our wedding day & the staff set up two locations for the ceremony, one inside & one outside, & waited for our decision just minutes before the ceremony time. I can’t imagine it without having the wedding planner & other staff to make sure everything was done perfectly. The venue has an amazing house for bridal & groom’s party to get ready as well as an old barn for ceremony upstairs & cocktail hour downstairs. The venue includes all the tables, chairs, heaters/AC, etc. in price! Can’t say enough about Dulany’s!

some. If I had to go back and do it again, I wouldn't change anything! Thank you Dulany's Overlook for making our big day so dang special and everything we ever pictured!

ption area in the barn has a cool breeze and fans for hot summer days, and the cocktail area is also undercover. In addition, they give bridal parties a 12 hour window, and have plenty of space for everyone to get ready - including family. The bridal suite is set up perfectly to allow for hair and makeup, as well as room for everyone to hang out. One of the nice logistical things about the venue is that if it were to rain, there is enough space to do the reception and ceremony indoors in different locations. Dulany's also provides a day-of-coordinator, who checks in on vendors and makes sure things get set up perfectly. On the day of the wedding I didn't have to stress about a thing because my coordinator Lori was taking care of it! The property owner, Mark, is very accommodating and easy to work with. We could not have been happier with our choice to use Dulany's - we received many compliments from our guests on how the venue looked and everything worked out perfectly on the day of the wedding thanks to their support.

ad. I highly recommend this venue!!!
