Most importantly, Robin and Robin are amazing. On a professional level, we felt like we got much more than our money's worth out of wedding planning and coordinating. We received excellent advice, vendor suggestions, and support. We had some nontraditional ideas for our wedding and we felt they were not only receptive to our ideas but worked to enhance them. On the actual wedding day the DJing was great, and they both worked SO DARN HARD to keep everything running smooth. And trust me, my family threw some curve balls, but all was handled with competency and grace. For all this alone I would recommend them to anyone....but that's not all. They are more than just great professionals at their jobs, they are just down right good people! I enjoyed every part of the planning process with them because spending time planning very quickly felt like talking it over with friends. The effort and care they provided feels truly special and it is not something my wife and I will ever forget. I really can't stress enough how much they were appreciated. I couldn't give more praise! Choose Tymeless Valley Farm for your wedding, you won't regret it!

I went with their Couture Wedding plan and worked with Pam. I couldn't have been more pleased with their services across the board. They work very well with vendors and go above and beyond for their brides. Unfortunately, on the flip side, my wedding didn't happen. They took care of everything when my fiancé left me just a few months before our wedding day. Regardless, I was pleased with their quality of work both in planning and canceling my wedding. While my special day was a no go I'd definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a wedding planner in MD or DC. They were open to venues everywhere be it Baltimore, Annapolis or DC. Much love to these ladies! Check them out!

I had my wedding on October 8, 2022 at the National Aquarium catered by the The Classic Catering…read morePeople. Between COVID and having a baby, we had to reschedule our wedding three times. They were super flexible with the changes that we had to make. During these unprecedented times, it was refreshing to work with a company that was understanding of the challenges we were facing with wanting to keep everyone safe, and then again when my baby's due date was a mere 2 weeks after one of the dates we had scheduled. Our experience with planning was fabulous as well. They responded to all of our questions and concerns within a timely manner. They invited us to their location to work with us to come up with a menu. They had a few snacks prepared for my husband and I. They asked several questions about our vision for the wedding, about any allergies or special diets that might require a special meal. They even let us know that they could prepare some staples for a children if we needed (we had no need to take advantage of that). They were also able to ensure that my favorite wine would be available at the event as part of the bar package. Once we had the menu planned, we were able to schedule a tasting for the event a few months out. They encouraged us to invite my in-laws to the event as well (which we did, and my FIL really enjoyed being able to take part in that with us.) They prepared the entire menu for the 3 of us, and confirmed that everything was perfect for our wedding, and it was. They also had linens set out for us to pick from. When I gave them the colors for my wedding, they were able to pick a few different options for us. They also were able to suggest ways to make the linens the most cost effective for us. The day of the wedding went perfectly. Our ceremony was at 7pm, and they arrived to begin setting up at 5pm. They set up for the ceremony. As we walked around the venue for cocktail hour, I was able to spot tables prepared for them to switch the ceremony space to the reception space. This was done within an hour, and went so smoothly. Nobody was standing around waiting for them to switch things over. They also set up my centerpieces, card box, guest book, seating chart, and table numbers. I didn't have to put someone in charge of worrying about that, and was able to have peace of mind that it was taken care of. When packing everything up, they also packed up everything for us as well so we could retrieve it the next day. Every single person I interacted with was super helpful, kind, and respectful. I could not have asked for a better experience.

We used Classic to cater our wedding. To be honest, we feel a bit mixed about the experience. TLDR:…read morewe wound up giving four stars because although our bar situation was a disaster, food is more important and the food was better than most other wedding food. The food - as foodies, we felt like Classic gave us very good wedding food (but it fell short of very good restaurant food). During our tasting, we were pretty blown away by the food -- all the flavors were excellent and all the food was perfectly cooked. Day of, a lot of the food was overcooked, and things were under sauced, so we missed a lot of the flavors from our tasting. The food was certainly better than most other weddings I've been to, but if I would have gotten the food at a restaurant I would have been disappointed. I know it's really difficult to cook in bulk. (FWIW though, people really loved the mashed potatoes -- and were still talking about them a week later.) We were also extremely pleased with how Classic handled dietary restrictions. We had a number of people with restrictions, and everyone was able to eat, and no one got sick. They even worked with us to make our whole menu gluten free so that all of our (many) celiac guests could partake. The drinks - our drinks were a disaster. And I think part of this is because our catering manager switched just a few months before the wedding. Our original catering manager had allowed us to create our own cocktail recipes. We love mixology so it felt very fitting for our wedding. We wanted our wedding to feel like a cocktail bar and not just have the standard wedding cocktail. However, our new catering manager pretty much lost her mind when she heard this, saying it's never done. Our conversations were weird, and we never figured out what the issues were so we assumed it was reluctance to do something different and thought they'd figure it out. However, it seems the issues were the bartenders can barely make a drink. Although we sent VERY specific recipes, i think only one of the bartenders followed them. The first drink I was given when I came down to my cocktail hour was supposed to be a lavender chamomile play on a French 75. But what I was actually given was lemon juice, soda, and gin. I literally spit it out, and had a mild panic attack that my guests were being served undrinkable drinks for our whole cocktail hour. It turns out, that only one bartender was making undrinkable drinks (and they continued to for most of the evening). Another one was making ok drinks, and one was making drinks correctly. No one could remember which bartender was making which drinks, so everyone remarked how inconsistent our drinks were. A number of times people had to toss drinks because they picked the wrong bartender. I was also pretty pissed that although we had confirmed with our planner and classic a half a dozen times that they would pass drinks during cocktail hour, they never did. Afterwards my planner said it was because the drinks were too complicated. But they could have passed wine, or beer, or prebatched drinks (which we thought they were doing). We really didn't want a line at the bar, and there was one, so a month later, I'm still fuming about the disaster that was the bar. I think had we had more time, or better communication from the new catering manager, we could have worked something out that would have worked for us and them. But, instead, trying not to piss us off, I think she gave in knowing they couldn't hold up their end of the bargain. The service - the service (aside from the bar and our catering manager) was good. All the catering staff were very kind, and rushed like crazy to finish our room flip. We appreciated that they designate one server just for the bride and groom! The process - Our process was a bit of a mess because of the catering manager flip. But, were it not for that, I think it would have gone pretty smoothly. Classic are def pros at putting on events. We were happy with the process before the switch. Afterwards, we didn't really jive with the new catering manager, who was much more rigid than the original one. We might have been less off put by this, but, she also wasn't great at communicating the reasons behind her "nos" or "yes, with reservations". Our planner had told us that your classic experience very much depends on your catering manager, and based on our experience with two of them, that seems accurate.

I had the pleasure of attending a wedding here at the end of July. As a guest, I felt that the…read morereception was very well done. The table settings were beautifully put together and helped brighten the space while incorporating the bride and groom's taste very well. The bartenders were friendly and on top of it, serving tasty drinks efficiently. As a gluten free diner, I'm always a little nervous during group functions like this but the staff did an impeccable job of keeping me informed of my options. During the passed apps portion of the evening, the server specifically approached me with options he knew I could have. Those potato cakes? Incredible. For the seated dinner, I enjoyed the half roasted chicken. It was juicy and flavorful and probably some of the best food I've ever had at a wedding. Based on my experience as a guest, I'd definitely recommend Gatherings By Woodberry Kitchen.

The event space alone is gorgeous, with the quintessential exposed brick and bistro lighting, making decor easy to simply add to the vibes. Jolanta also was so helpful in encouraging us to hire a photographer and music for our event that were both affordable and really added to the party. Our guests raved about the food, and we loved having local Baltimore craft beers as well as 2 custom cocktails to make our event really feel special to us. We cannot stop thinking about how amazing our event went--we will cherish these memories forever! Thank you Woodberry for giving us the night of a lifetime!

Unlike other venues that we looked at she never tried to pressure us one way or another on anything and always took our desires into consideration when giving her input.

They even gave us a box that had been used for wine bottles to pack our centerpieces in. I know that seems stupid and small but it was the small things that the staff at Circle D did that really set them apart. Bottom line we COULD NOT be happier with the service and the price tag that we found here. Our guests could not get over how beautiful the farm was or how wonderful the staff was.
