Receptionist - one who attempts to provide service to customers seeking out information. Typically…read morehas a friendly and helpful disposition. This is my understanding, broadly, of a receptionist or administrative assistant's duties and responsibilities if they frequently interface with the public, (though I know they have infinitely more tasks to accomplish than just greeting guests). This has never been my experience at Oakland Mills Interfaith Center - The Meeting House. I have interacted with the young lady sitting at the desk no less than 6 times, maybe as many as 10 in the past 4 years or so and her disposition 99.98% of the time has been really nasty. I do my best to be sympathetic, understanding or give people the benefit of the doubt, if I meet them for the first time and they seem grumpy, but if I speak with you upwards of 6 times over 4 years, different seasons, rain or shine and you are always pissed, perhaps you've sought out a career in the wrong lane. The attitude some businesses have toward customer service, perhaps, has evolved over the years, but I would still think there is modicum of courtesy that is expected of staff when they meet people who potentially may be interested in doing business with their establishment. I don't know what the protocol is when you see the receptionist, but, typically, I don't like to just interrupt them and tell them what I want, or why I'm there because they're usually typing something that I'm assuming they need a reasonable degree of focus on, and I don't want to break their concentration. I could tell this receptionist was pissed, per her usual, so I just started talking as soon as I got to the desk. The space I was interested in was not available for the date I wanted which was no problem. I asked if I could look at one of the other rooms I could see from her desk. (I wasn't sure if it was being used). She said "Yes". When I walked over, I saw a room to the left of that room, which I couldn't see when I asked to see the first room, so I invited myself to look at that room to (there was no one in it). When I turned back around the corner, the receptionist shot me a look that could cut through a thousand tons of Philadelphia street on the coldest of December nights. She was in the middle of eating her lunch, and stopped, mid-chew, to try and stare me down as if I was trying to usurp her authority. I ignored the vibe and just asked if the 2 rooms were available to which she immediately retorted "I said no"....First of all, she didn't. Second of all, she needs to park all that attitude at the curb before she enters her place of business. I understand being a receptionist may not always be the greatest position because you have to deal with whatever walks through your door, but if you can't be friendly, at least be professional. I understand that the objective of this house of worship is, by no means, solely to make money, but I would think, even a billionaire wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth if it took little to no effort to get it. Anywho, there is another lovely place where, if you're looking to hold a smaller event, that could probably accommodate your needs. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Church is also located in Howard County. As I recall, they do rent by the hour and I don't think it's more than $70/h. Seeing as I'm looking for a new venue to hold my event, I thought others may be to. I tried to include pictures of this venue below.

I came on board as the event planner for a H.S. graduation party after this venue had already been…read morebooked. If I had been involved from the beginning, I would not have chosen Claret Hall. While we were able to pull off a beautiful event, it was in spite of the venue -- not because of it. Dated Look & Layout Challenges Claret Hall's interior leans towards modest and practical. The mirrored walls in the main hall add a dated look, along with the wood floors, and a layout that's more "community center". Despite this, the staff carries themselves as if this is some grand, modern ballroom with marble floors and crystal chandeliers. Let's be clear -- it's not. The lobby has several design limitations: a brown beat up leather sofa that can't be removed because they "have nowhere to store it," and a built-in desk with a counter that takes up valuable space. There's a fireplace in the lobby with exit doors on both sides, and nothing is allowed near or in front of them (something we were reminded of multiple times), including while inflating balloons. If you're hoping to create a dramatic or welcoming entry moment, prepare to work around all of this. The catering/banquet room also had scuffed walls in clear need of a paint refresh. The main event room layout wasn't very functional either, because my design included a large balloon display and DJ booth, I had to carefully measure and adjust to avoid blocking yet another fire exit door. Inflexible Rules & Overbearing Oversight We had planned a mocktail bar setup for the grad on the outdoor patio. However, we were later told that we'd have to go through an entirely separate entity (and pay additional fees) just to use the patio for a "bar" that was NON-ALCOHOLIC, because it's technically not owned by Claret Hall. We ended up relocating the mocktail bar indoors. Additionally, we were told that we could not use any of their high top 32" round tables on the patio. During one of the walkthroughs, their staff member with the British accent, Ms. Eudene, used a very no nonsense tone, was borderline rude and not collaborative. The morning after our final walk-through, I called to ask for the fireplace measurements I had forgotten to take. The woman on the phone said a church event was happening and someone would have to call me back the next day. When I asked, "Isn't there a yellow measuring tape right there on the desk?" she paused, begrudgingly put me on hold, and minutes later returned with the measurements--but with an annoyed tone. It was unnecessarily difficult and honestly, lazy. If you're sitting right there, how does a church service stop you from walking four feet to measure a fireplace? She wasn't involved in the service! On the event day, all my vendors and helpers arrived on time! Granted, we were 30 minutes early, but the building was completely empty -- no church service or event in progress as we had been told there would be. Still, the staffer on duty would not let anyone in even 15 minutes early, citing liability and the contract terms. While I understand the policy, it was frustrating in the moment, especially with no one else in the building, balloon vendors outside with balloons, furniture vendors standing outside waiting, and a tight setup schedule. To top it off, as we were packing up at the end of the night; already actively cleaning and breaking down, the same staffer came over to me with a printed checklist, pointing out everything that needed to be done. I was beyond annoyed. Not exactly the energy you want at the end of a very long day. Final Thoughts Claret Hall is fine for modest events with low design needs. It is not ideal for creative designers who need a blank slate, creative freedom, or flexibility. Be prepared to design around fire exits, some immovable furniture, and strict staff oversight. It is also worth noting that a church regularly holds its services at Claret Hall, which can impact availability. I wouldn't personally book it again.

I attended a wedding here as a guest in September 2019. Therefore, this review is purely from a…read moreguest experience standpoint--I can't speak to pricing or customer service. The wedding wasn't big; there were about 60 guests + a wedding party of 10 or so. I felt there was sufficient capacity for this sized wedding, but anything bigger and the place would have felt claustrophobic. The manor is very charming and obviously historic, with creaky floors. The weather was favorable that day for an outdoor wedding in the garden behind the house. Since the manor is made up of a couple smaller rooms and then 1 large dining room, I imagine the wedding would have been moved to the dining room if it had rained. I believe the bride and groom used the in-house catering, including hors d'œuvres passed around for about an hour between the wedding ceremony and dinner. My favorite hors d'œuvres were the mini grilled cheese sandwiches served with cups of tomato soup. They also passed around sweet potato pancakes, chicken skewers, and shrimp skewers. The sweet potato pancakes were really sweet--more of a dessert than the others. When they opened the dining room for dinner, each table was set up with a starter salad and a bread basket. The dinner consisted of 3 stations: one with grilled salmon served with rice and grilled vegetables, one with gourmet pasta bar, and one with short ribs. The guests were directed to the buffet/stations on a table-by-table basis. The pasta bar in particular got backed up since it was made-to-order, so I wound up getting the ribs and salmon and then going back to the pasta bar once it cleared up. My favorite was the salmon, since it was filling without being too heavy, but I did enjoy the pasta bar, which had a good selection of vegetable toppings. The manor was well-maintained, and the unisex bathrooms were clean and well-supplied. However, there were only 2 of them, so there was inevitably a constant line in the hour or so following dinner. The bride and groom had informed us there were 30 parking spaces at the manor as well as plenty of free street parking nearby. Since the manor is located in a largely residential area, the street parking was pretty easy. Overall, from a guest's point-of-view, this was a really lovely place to hold a relatively simple small-to-medium-sized wedding.

The shower door was difficult to open and close, so much so that I showered with the shower door open. I was afraid it would be difficult to open again, especially from inside the shower.

4/5 My boyfriend and…read moreI came to Main Event for a date night and overall, we had a really good time! There's so much to do that you can easily spend a few hours here. We ordered pizza, fish, drinks, and the cotton candy sherbet, and our food and drinks came to around $60. The food was pretty good, but the service could definitely improve. Our waiter took a LONG time, to the point where we were considering not tipping. He did make my boyfriend's drink nice and strong though, so he redeemed himself a little and we ended up tipping him. One thing that irritated me was when I asked for my fish to be well done. The waiter questioned why I wanted it well done since it was "already fried." I didn't really like that. If a customer asks for their food cooked a certain way, I feel like the request should just be passed along to the kitchen. For the games, I put about $30 on my game card and my boyfriend already had around $30 on his, so we had about $60 total to play with. We played air hockey, Connect 4 basketball, a shooting game, and raced each other on the driving games. We actually left without even using all of our game credits! We also did laser tag, which was $13 per person, and that was fun too. I loved that they had pool tables, although we didn't get a chance to play because they were all taken. My only other complaint is that we came around 8:30 PM expecting it to eventually become more of an adults-only atmosphere later at night because that's what we had been told. There were still a lot of kids around, so I do wish they had an adults-only time later in the evening, especially for couples coming for date night. Overall, though, we had a LOT of fun and I would definitely come back. It's a great date-night spot because you can eat, drink, play games, do laser tag, and actually interact with each other instead of just sitting at a restaurant. Overall: 4/5

1/2 STAR | MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO ANSWER FOR WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE!…read more If I could give this establishment half a star, I would. And quite frankly, even that feels generous. I've visited this location several times over the past month, and every single experience has been consistently disappointing. At this point, the issues I've witnessed go far beyond poor customer service. We're talking about serious concerns involving management conduct, employee supervision, sanitation, and the overall safety of guests. First, the establishment is constantly overrun with unsupervised children running around and causing chaos. Meanwhile, several employees appear extremely young and seem to be working unusually late hours, including school nights. It raises legitimate questions about employee scheduling, supervision, and compliance with Maryland's child labor regulations. Now, let's discuss management, because this is where my concerns become significantly more serious. During one of my visits, I personally witnessed a female manager leave the establishment, walk to the liquor store across the parking lot, purchase a bottle of alcohol, and return to her black Honda, where she sat briefly before coming back inside. What made this particularly concerning was that when I was close enough to speak with her, I could smell alcohol on her breath. This wasn't something I heard from another customer or an allegation passed around by employees. This was my personal observation. I cannot confirm exactly what she consumed inside her vehicle, but the circumstances, combined with the smell of alcohol on her breath, raised serious concerns about possible alcohol consumption while on duty. Why is someone in a management position potentially consuming alcohol during working hours while responsible for supervising employees, maintaining safety standards, and overseeing an establishment filled with families and children? This incident alone warrants an investigation by corporate leadership. And the sanitation? Absolutely unacceptable. I've observed kitchen employees going outside to smoke and returning to food preparation areas without washing their hands. I've also witnessed employees leaving the restroom without washing their hands before returning to work. Even more disturbing, I've observed what appeared to be rodent activity inside the building. Mice should not be freely roaming around an establishment that serves food to the public. There have also been incidents involving what appeared to be sexual activity in the restrooms, further demonstrating the apparent lack of supervision and accountability throughout this facility. I have photographs and videos documenting some of the conditions and incidents I've described, and I intend to submit relevant evidence to the appropriate regulatory authorities for review. What concerns me most is that these aren't isolated experiences. I've visited multiple times, on different occasions, and the same problems continue. Where is the accountability? Where is the oversight? Who is responsible for ensuring this establishment operates safely, professionally, and in compliance with applicable regulations? Customers should not have to question whether their food is being handled safely, whether employees are being properly supervised, or whether management is capable of maintaining a professional environment. I'm publicly requesting a response from corporate leadership or the ownership group, not another generic apology about how customer satisfaction is your top priority. I would like to know what steps will be taken to investigate these concerns, address any verified violations, and ensure the safety of both employees and guests. This is not simply a complaint about a bad experience. This is a request for accountability. I encourage other customers who have personally witnessed similar issues to report their experiences through the appropriate channels. Corporate management, the ball is in your court. I would appreciate a direct response addressing these concerns.
