We could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding and reception ceremony. Kamran Center is…read moreabsolutely beautiful and elegant. The building itself is very well built on a gorgeous wooded land with ample and very organized parking space. The entrance lobby, reception desk, high ceilings, stunning crystal chandeliers, very well made and positioned restrooms and accommodations, light dimmers and bar-room plus various other rooms to include a beautiful special sectioned room with fascinating tall bay windows all in all made Kamran Center one of the best decisions we have ever made. Oh and I must say our deejay loved the place even more than us -something special about the sound and dance floor combination! Our guests loved the place and the ceremony ended up being the dream wedding we had both always pictured. Kamran Center has a great energy to it, go for it and rest assured you and your guests will absolutely LOVE it!! - Payman

while visiting my folks for the holidays, we attended a local dance studio's production of the…read morenutcracker at this venue. i will say, this venue was hard to find, as we arrived a bit early, but ended up circling around this area for a while since there was construction on some of the side streets and our gps had a hard time locating the exact building despite having the correct address. the fact that the performance was held in the evening didn't help, since it was already dark outside. after calling the venue, and having someone guide us to the appropriate parking area, we were able to go on foot and locate this venue, which had a sign in front, but it wasn't very large or high off the ground, so hard to spot when driving. as far as the interior goes, this was a small-ish venue, with restrooms/dressing rooms to the right, a foyer/waiting area to the left, and a theatre/stage to the back. the stage was a medium-sized stage, and the room seated 300-400 guests (my approximation based on the layout). it definitely felt small and snug since most of the seats were filled with parents, siblings, relatives, and friends, excited to see their little princesses dance on the stage. nice venue, but needs some better markers to locate

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'm writing this review strictly about a member of The Great Room staff…read more I was delivering cupcakes for an event last weekend and when I arrived, I was told I need to talk to Angie (Head Event Manager) about logistics. Once I found her, simple questions like 'where do I put the cupcakes' and 'what time does the event start' were met with cold, short replies from Angie. She asked why the cupcake boxes weren't labeled and I told her my client did not request it, I was only told to make the cupcakes and deliver them. The flavors were pretty obvious but I wrote them down anyway. She then implied that I wasn't prepared, again in a condescending tone. Certainly not how I wanted to be treated after spending 6 hours making cupcakes! I was actually considering having an event here, but if I have to deal with Angie I definitely won't be booking them.

I've coordinated close to 100 events, and this one was especially important because it was for a family member. From the moment I arrived, there was a clear lack of communication between the venue owners. The woman in charge was rude and unhelpful from the start. Not only was she unpleasant, but she also badmouthed the bride and groom, which was completely unprofessional. We had paid an extra $700 for an additional table, and when I asked about it, she threw a fit and accused us of trying to get things for free--despite it already being paid for. Throughout the night, she continued to be rude and uncooperative, so I chose to work directly with the wait staff, who were much more helpful. To make matters worse, the staff packed up all the leftover food and kept it for themselves without even offering it to us. Although we had the venue booked until 1:30 AM, she started trying to shut the event down by midnight. Our event was elegant, and the guests were respectful. The only issue was an angry venue manager who clearly didn't want to do her j
