HOT! There will be water readily available and personal paper fans. It is the middle of July, though. The sun will be out and shining. We hope to have snow cone company join us!
We’ve got a couple hotels listed on the travel page, but we highly recommend Marriott’s Springhill Suites with their rooftop bar!
There is parking at the farm. Uber is always an idea if you plan on drinking.
Please do!!! Just let us know so we have the proper head count. Let’s get them dancing on the dance floor!
The bride is a great person to turn to - just try not to drive her crazy! But she’s always happy to talk to her friends and family and answer any questions!
Guest arrival begins at 4:00pm. With the ceremony beginning at 4:30pm.
The day’s events will be at Dulany’s Overlook - 7701 Dance Hall Rd, Frederick, MD 21701. The ceremony will be in a little nook in the woods while the cocktail hour will be in the barn’s stable basement and the reception on the main floor of the barn.
Wherever you are most comfortable. We are all becoming one family.
The party will come to a close around 10:00pm so that we are all off the property by 10:30pm. Thank you so much for this consideration to our venue.
There will be a seating chart for the tables. You may find whichever place you are most comfortable at your table and enjoy the night!
Dinner will begin at 6:30pm.
We ask that you only bring a plus one if your invitation specifies. If it is not specified, we do not have room at our venue for any additional guests nor will our caterers be prepared for additional individuals and ask you to respect the intended guest list.
There is a link on the website for the RSVP.

Yes! There will be a signature cocktail to represent each little piece of our family: Luke = Jack and Coke Franki = Strawberry Lemonade Vodka Cocktail Tequila = Tequila Sunrise Shae = Shirley Temple There is a no shot policy at the venue. No other alcohol is permitted at the venue or the bartender will confiscate it.
We are not really cake people. There will be no cake. However, we are booking a snow cone stand that says they have a wedding cake flavor! So, instead of melting frosting from cake, cupcakes, or other desserts with sticky gooey chocolate, we will have snow cones to keep us cool!
We’re putting the cocktail in cocktail hour! So, feel free to dress accordingly for a cocktail hour. It is hot so no need for formal long dresses, but we still want to be a little dressy for our special occasion! Just come ready to dance and party! However, we do ask that no one wears white, cream, ivory, or other off-white options reserved for the bride. Children will be given markers to assist guests that are in unsuitable colors.
It is an outdoor wedding, so stiletto heels are not recommended. Really, we just want you to be comfortable in your footwear. Psst… the bride will be in sneakers!

We’d like to have an unplugged ceremony. We want you to see us, and we want to see you. There will be opportunities for photos, and we want to see all the fun at the cocktail hour and reception!
With our hashtag, we’d love for you to post on Instagram and Facebook! We will certainly do some posting on these platforms as well.
Your presence is a gift in and of itself. If you feel so inclined, we would love contributions to our new house fund or Target gift-cards to support Luke’s place of work and where we fell in love. If you insist on selecting an item to contribute to our lives, we’ve made an Amazon wedding registry that can be found here: Frances Krzyzanowski and Lucas Shapiro's Wedding Registry https://www.amazon.com/wedding/guest-view/1BK3SUIK4GVBW but again your presence is gift enough.
