As a consulting firm that facilitates Stakeholder Alignment Sessions for complex construction…read moreprojects, the environment we choose can make or break the day. We've hosted several half-day and full-day sessions at Point of View, and it has consistently exceeded our expectations. The setting is its greatest asset. Being off-site and surrounded by the serene views of Mason Neck allows our clients to step out of "project mode" and into a collaborative mindset. It's quiet, professional, and provides the perfect "neutral ground" for resolving difficult conflicts and aligning on project goals. What truly sets Point of View apart is the administrative and support team. From the initial booking to the final wrap-up, they are incredibly helpful and proactive. They understand the nuances of hosting professional groups and are always one step ahead of our needs--whether it's a last-minute tech adjustment or coordinating logistics. Knowing the staff has our back allows us to focus entirely on our clients rather than worrying about the facility.

****Date Night**** Setting the mood!…read more Chef Kendall really presented a wonderful dinner, with live jazz and wine tastings. Our first time visiting, it's a beautiful place, with large windows and lit fireplaces, slightly off the path, along Rt 5 in Waldorf. My "Bestie" along, I savored Chilean Sea bass, with a mixed salad, flavorful and beautifully presented. My husband had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, topped with Collard Greens, done right! We shared the key lime pie as we sampled the wine pairings by their in house Sommelier. It is worthy of five star dining, The mood romantically set, by Saxophonist Merlon Divine.

Came here for a wedding and wedding reception in late September 2013. The venue itself is a little…read moredated, but the people running the joint were great. The event room where the wedding was held was pretty basic, almost bland in terms of the acoustics and furniture quality. The ballroom where the wedding was held was decent, and featured a wooden dance floor. The catering was the highlight. Not only was the food great, but the service by the catering people was fantastic. Not sure if the same people who run the venue / space also provided the hired labor - but if so, then kudos to Middleton Hall. The servers were very professional and actually seemed like they had real service training: They were prompt with the drink refills, used an open-hand when pointing to something on the table, and were just all around kind. Good place to have a function!

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 go on YouTube, there's footage of one of the large columns that fell over a couple years ago. Thank goodness no one got hurt. It's an antique, and while the new city patch doesn't show it, let's take a look inside. Restored with love for years, a lot of people have weddings here. I doubt I'll do that experience again, but cheers to all who do, as this would be a good location. Parking is for the most part a cinch too. The interior is well taken care of. The lower part is good for music, while the upstairs sometimes has paint exhibitions.

I recently held my 45th birthday celebration and 25th wedding anniversary at Grace Event Center in…read moreWaldorf, MD, on January 10, 2026. While the event space itself is beautiful, my experience with the staff and catering was extremely disappointing. From start to finish, the event staff were unprofessional and rude to my guests. Several guests were told they could only have one plate despite us paying for an open buffet, which caused embarrassment. One catering staff member even pushed my mother and maintained a negative attitude throughout the event. I also became ill after eating the turkey meatballs we ordered. I do not eat beef, yet the food appeared to contain beef, causing severe stomach discomfort for me. Interestingly, my guests did not have any issues, which suggests there may have been a mistake in the preparation. I brought these concerns to the attention of the event coordinator, who I believe is the owner, Carla, but the staff's behavior was excused rather than addressed. Unfortunately, despite the beautiful space, I cannot recommend Grace Event Center due to the unprofessionalism of the staff and catering issues. I would suggest considering other venues to avoid a similar experience.

The Center has choice rooms to accommodate your guests, free parking, and nice restroom facilities. When I did visit the area in person, they welcomed me with open arms. It was like we met before but we hadn't! The owner, Mrs. Carla and Office Manager, Mrs. Lisa were the greatest in helping me plan my event. The entire Staff was very friendly, courteous and hospitable. The food was delicious, seasoned to taste, and we all had plenty to eat! I had a wonderful time along with all my guests, DJ, and decorator! Look no further when planning a nice event, this is the right place! I truly wish to thank everyone who played a part in my celebration and look forward to my next event. It was well worth the trip (300+ miles away). I was a happy vintage Queen! Hats off to Graces Event Center!! You are the best and I highly recommend you!! Until next time..... Blanche

In November 2019 my fiancé and I hired Hemibry Catering to cater our wedding that is currently…read morescheduled for October 2020. We chose this company because they were on the list of catering companies that work with the venue that will be hosting our wedding. Our initial experience with Hernan, the owner, was good. He allowed us to put down a little less than the required 50% deposit that is due in order for us to lock in the date for Hemibry to cater our wedding. We appreciated his flexibility at that time. Less than three months later, by choice, we fulfilled the full contract amount that would have been due three days before our wedding. Fast forward to March 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down just about everything including the venue that will be hosting our wedding, we became increasingly concerned about all of our wedding plans. I reached out to Hemibry Catering to express our concerns and asked if we would be able to obtain a full refund in the event that our wedding must be cancelled which would be out of our control. A person named Stephanie advised me that we would not be able to get the deposit back and that they would be willing to reschedule dates with no penalty or if we do not have a wedding at all she stated that the funds can be used towards another event such as a BBQ, birthday etc. Unfortunately we do not intend on having another event that would call for almost $6,000 in catering so that option would definitely not work for us. Also, it is extremely important to us that we keep the same wedding date if the government guidelines allow us to have a much smaller gathering because changing the date is not an option we're looking to explore. Although we understand that per our contract the deposit would be kept, we were hopeful of receiving a full refund if we do not have a wedding at all because thankfully the venue that will host our wedding along with other companies we already hired are being extremely flexible in working with us with making adjustments even if it goes against what's in our contracts because they understand that the situation with the pandemic is totally out of our control. A couple of days ago I reached out to Hernan, the owner, asking if he would be willing to adjust the contract and lower the amount of guests from 60 people to a much lower number, possibly 30, in the event that we would not be able to have the number of guests we originally planned for due to the government guidelines that continue to change. When I advised Hernan that we already paid the full amount that was due, he stated "I'm not able to refund any money...." He went along with further explaining that all the money they use is for operations, which left us feeling as if he possibly spent the full amount that we've already paid. I found it odd that he like Stephanie, offered the option to move the date, but failed to remind us that we still have the option of cancelling completely and be refunded the amount outside of the deposit that we're entitled to, per our contract. I explained to him that I feel that it is not good business practice to still charge us for 60 people if we can only have 30. He stated that they are being flexible by moving dates. Again, not reminding us of the option to cancel completely and be refunded a portion of the funds, per our contract. I advised him that I really need him to work with us in making some kind of adjustment and also expressed to him that I understand the difficulties that businesses are currently experiencing, however, he should also be more flexible with us because morally it's the right thing to do. The call ended with him telling me that he does not have an answer at the moment but he is trying to make things fair for everyone and will get back to me. The conversation left us feeling a lack of confidence in how he conducts business with his clients during a crisis but I still am slightly hopeful that he allows us to change the number of guests he will cater for to a much lower number and refund us a portion of our money. This is a reminder to people to pay very close attention to how a company treats their customers when unforeseen events occur. As I stated, other companies we're under contract with are much more flexible and understanding when it comes to adjustments and refunds, regardless of what's stated in our contract. Unfortunately at the moment, Hemibry catering is not one of those companies. I hope that my next update will be much better than this one. Until then, I will wait to hear back from Hernan at Hemibry catering.
