The atmosphere was perfect & the owner Amy was very kind & patient. Her instructions were perfect, never thought I'd be able to draw & paint anything, but with her assistant my painting was good enough to hang for the holidays!! We were also served food, which was an additional added PLUS! I will definitely be going back, next time for a ladies night event!! Thank you Cloud 9 for the amazing experience.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Majestic Banquet Hall!…read more We celebrated my daughter's Kileywood Sweet 16 here, and I honestly could not have chosen a better venue. From start to finish, everything was AMAZING! The decorations were stunning, and they truly brought our Kileywood vision to life. The owners worked closely with us, and with Sonia and Maria handling the administrative work, everything ran smoothly and professionally. Their coordination and attention to detail made all the difference. The servers were incredible, the hosts were welcoming and organized, and even traffic direction was handled perfectly, making guest arrival and parking stress-free. Every staff member went above and beyond to make sure our event was flawless. What I appreciated most was how flexible and supportive they were allowing me to add my personal touches, welcoming me to visit several times during planning, and making me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. This venue didn't just host our event they helped create a once-in-a-lifetime memory for my daughter and our family. The level of care, professionalism, and excellence is unmatched. If you're looking for a place that truly cares https://photos.app.goo.gl/tPF71J2kyPJ6J2uw9

It's on the 2nd floor above the Sarah Campbell shop (no elevator), with high ceilings and beautiful light, two blocks off King Street in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. We had a seated dinner for 45 people, with a dance area, and all praised of the beauty of the space.

Amazing time! WOW. So impressed with the entire event and company. I planned our office party…read moreand we had it on Feb 23, 2019. 70 people, employees, and their better halves. Starting out with Shadae Mayfield at the office who helped me plan everything. Super helpful, so nice, patient, great follow up about everything, kept me on track, and gave me suggestions when I needed ideas! The food... you know how hard it is to have a good dinner for that many people, right? Rudy, the Chef at our boat was amazing, the food was so good. We had appetizers as people were boarding, the wait staff was so friendly, smiling, attentive, making sure everyone was being taken care of. Appetizers I picked were great, dinner after was amazing (I keep using that word but it was! meat, chicken, pasta, salad, salmon and desserts). The bartenders were on it too, from the minute people were boarding, they had trays with already served wine! what!!! yes. I had a full bar option for my event and OMG, so good. DJ Bob, crazy good. I told him in advance what we wanted, about my group, that we wanted to dance, etc. He got it! We danced the whole time. I literally had to ask people to leave the boat at the end of the event. Nobody wanted to go! Linel (sorry if I'm misspelling the manager's name) was so great, attentive, nice, funny. I'm telling you, the crew made sure we were having a great time. We did. I would so recommend National Elite Private Yachts to everyone. Having the workgroup together made a huge difference for us. Thank you again for everything!

I have attended two events at MPK Cabaret. My first visit was during a children's birthday party…read moreand the other was as a vendor for a teen girl sorority/non-profit organization. There are several rooms available for rent throughout the facility and lots of space for food, décor set up (e.g., balloon arches, 360° photo booth machine/photo booth area, etc.), and games. There is also moon bounce and equipment rental options available for use. Not sure of the price points and restrictions, but I would definitely recommend considering this venue as a location for your next private event. **There's also ample free onsite parking. __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish

Was here on a Saturday afternoon/evening for my cousin's wedding. We started outdoors in a nice…read moregarden setting, moved indoors to what looked like a mansion for drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and to what looked like an open worship space (I believe it's a Unitarian Church) for dinner and dancing. Overall, it was a nice venue but the setup at dinner was a little crowded. They literally had to break down tables to make room for the dance floor. I realize that's not a knock on the space itself but a note to others planning large events here. The setting was in a relaxed suburban neighborhood, and it definitely helped to have GPS to find this place.

We had our wedding reception at Hollin Hall, and it was such a wonderful experience! Amanda Casey…read more(the coordinator extraordinaire) made sure everything went smoothly, and it did! We had many requests and requirements for the reception, and she went out of her way to accommodate our needs and wants. She recommended excellent vendors who also went above and beyond for dietary restrictions. The location of Hollin Hall is also nice, and close to 495, but you wouldn't know it. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful grounds, it feels secluded and has beautiful gardens to wander. We were married in March and even though there were no leaves or flowers blooming it was a pretty backdrop for all our photos. I would definitely recommend Hollin Hall to anyone looking for a DC area wedding venue!

The place had great ambiance from the exposed brick walls to the hanging lights, the space was to die for. We were a little skeptical because none of us are artists, but this experience wound up being amazing. We had a great teacher who was super helpful. The class has a two drink maximum included in the purchase price, which was perfect, however I think you can by bottles on site. The whole experience was excellent and our paintings turned out pretty well compared to what we anticipated. If you are local and you are looking for some entertainment on the weekend, give this place a try!

We attended a wedding which had a large group that the River View easily accommodated. The River View is in the Occoquan Regional Park that has its own fun activities that locals will explore. The Pavilion, an outdoor shelter located at the back of the park, is perfect for sizable events. There is also a 5k loop trail, and a riverfront café with indoor and outdoor seating.

The venue was very accommodating and made the quick last minute switch in record time! The sun came out and we were still able to enjoy the cocktail hour with amazing views outside! There is plenty of parking available. I would definitely recommend!
