Beautiful chandelier
Andrew P.

An event space right near my house, so convenient! Truthfully, I only rarely hear about things going on. I went once years and years ago, so long that I forgot the occasion. But this time a friend invited me to a crab feast -- my first one ever (outside of a friend's house), in fact! The building is easy to locate, and while there is PLENTY of parking... if the event is massive enough, you still have to park far away! Thank goodness for that lot! Checking in for the event was super easy, and the staff were able to easily point out where the open and reserved tables were. The setup was pretty cool too -- two bars are built into the corners on the same side as the entrance, tables and vendors were dispersed throughout, and food was conveniently in the middle and on the opposite walls. There was a central stage too! I'm sure one's opinion of the place will vary based on each individual event, but as an event space I think it has it all. The A/V system sounds good, the staff are kind and professional, there's plenty of space, and I just can't say enough about that stunning chandelier.

I have been to this Greenbelt location about times for wedding receptions, birthday parties and a church event. I don't have a lot of pictures because I usually take videos. I know that Martins caterers have other locations, I have seen pictures and they appeared beautiful. I can only speak about the Greenbelt one. The events I went to there were beautiful. Some of the people I know that had their events there said they chose this venue because even without decorations, it looks nice. They didn't have to do much to make the place look beautiful. Me personally, I love the draping and the chandeliers in the rooms, the lightening and the set up. I did talk to some of the people that had their events there and they thought pricing was reasonable and affordable and they even for some deals to help with the cost. Most of them had buffets and honestly I don't like buffet style events because I usually go to 500+ people events and sometimes the lines for the food are so long. One wedding was plated meal and of course the options were less than the buffet style, I remember my sis and I had salmon and it tasted good. Everything was organized, the servers were great and polite. These events were non alcoholic events and you can go at the bar at anytime for drinks, the bartenders were always nice and would even suggest drinks to try. I don't think I will be having a large event anytime soon but if I was, Martin caterers would be my first choice. Based on my experience of going to events there many times, I would highly recommend them, especially for large events. Venue is beautiful and elegant, bathrooms are clean and neat; food is good, variety of options and staff are really nice and polite.

Old tasting strawberry shortcake.  Tasted like it had been frozen and thawed too many times.

I have left my comments for each pic attached. This venue has gone downhill over the years. The food was bad, no taste and appeared to have been old.

This is a spectacular place. I loved the details on the wall and once you walked into the building. The hall is slightly small, so if you are planning of having a wedding please make sure to count the heads of people coming. The married couple was lovely and the decorations were beautiful. The bathrooms! They maybe far butthe bathrooms are awesome. When you walk in to your right there us a mini lounge with basically a runway with mirrors on both your side. Pros: They are organized and by the book. I loved that since I am a detail organized person. Con: The hall is small and things are rushed.

Wedding set up.

Wedding revenue. 5 events under one roof. The staff was pleasant and professional. Food was delicious.

I've been a busy bee! I went to Martins for a church anniversary event. Everything was beautiful and the bathrooms were clean. I would definitely use this facility in Greenbelt for future banquet needs. The event I went to had about 1000 plus people and they were able to easily able to handle a party this size. To my knowledge everything went well. The drinks were really good and they had a slushie machine which made you feel like they were island drinks. They also made specialty drinks with various configurations and condiments. The food was really good. It was a lot of food and I didn't want to overdo it so I just tried the: Salmon (very moist and flavorful) Macaroni and cheese ( exceptionally well cooked and flavored) Sliced turkey (moist and delicious) Stuffing from the stuffed hens ( a little dry) Cheese & fruit plate (good) Salad plate (cold salad plate ...but I didn't like the balsamic vinaigrette) Garlic mashed potatoes ( not good at all) Cheese and tomato salad (good ) The things I didn't try Hens Roast beef Green beans Pasta salad Cake rolls Overall everything was very good. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. They were a well trained and equipped group of caters.

There are several Martin's Crosswinds locations throughout Maryland. The one in Greenbelt is where my company holds its annual service luncheon. I was in town to celebrate 20 years with my company. The staff greet you as you walk in the front door. And they are around almost every corner to assist you with anything that you might possibly need. The meals served here are impeccable! On this trip I had a crab cake as well as stuffed chicken breast paired with mashed sweet potatoes and green beans. Their appetizers are also amazing. The one that stands out to me was the oyster Chesapeake. And I can't leave out the multiple choices that we had for dessert, OMG! Not only do they have great food but the ballroom is gorgeous with many beautiful chandeliers. The bathrooms are always spotless. I look forward to going back and celebrating my 25th anniversary in five years :-)

On two occasions (the second being yesterday) I've attended a charity luncheon for over 400 guests at Martin's. From my vantage point, the afternoon went off flawlessly. Martin's is a gorgeous place- a huge spacious lobby, beautiful dining rooms, excellent service, and high quality food. I've often wondered how a banquet facility can serve up 400 high quality hot meals simultaneously. They have it figured out -great lunches of stuffed chicken, potatoes, string beans, and a slice of prime rib. And for dessert an amazing creation of chocolate cake and cheesecake - fresh and moist and perfect. The room and tables were beautiful, the sound system and video system were flawless. I have nothing but praises to say for Martin's Crosswinds.

Close of the night. Food was excellent. The lack of sound barrier from room to room - HORRIBLE
Akande S.

Food was great and so was our Banquet Manager, Miss Jessie. She saved the night. This location hasn't changed since the 90s so theres only one restroom and, depending upon which ballroom you're in, its located on the other side of the building. Not best for attendees in their better years. Beyond that, I wouldn't recommend this venue as theres NO sound barrier/ sound proofing between ballrooms. Any quiet moment (toasts, speeches, etc) you have is overwhelmed by the noise and music in the other ballrooms. Knowing they don't have proper barriers, they STILL allow groups to set up djs and bands on the adjoining walls. Poor layout, dated, and poor sound control...it's a no.

Our first dance as husband and wife

Just had my wedding on 9/30/16 and everything turned out perfectly! Thanks to the help of our amazing wedding coordinator Cheryl Hall! She is detail oriented, patient, a great listener, and executed all of our ideas just how we wanted them!Big thanks to Chris the banquet manager and Agustina for making our day go so smoothly. And thank you to all the professional staff. The food was fresh and delicious and all our guest agreed. The set up of the ballroom was beautiful and elegant. If you want a perfect wedding, you need to book this venue now!

I recently used Farm to Feast to cater my daughter's Sweet 16. From start to finish, everyone at…read moreFarm to Feast was wonderful. Everything was handled through their online request for a quote and email. Responses were usually received within 24 hours. I never felt like I needed to pick up the phone and reassure myself that they were taking care of my request. The online quote form is very detailed and when I stated that the theme for my daughter's party was Lord of the Rings, they ran with it. The creativity shown in the menu was amazing. It made my daughter extremely happy from the start. Hannah definitely worked to keep the menu within our budget, offering suggestions on where we could tighten things. The week of the event, they were back in touch to finalize details and on the day of the event, Chloe showed up with the food at the designated time and was very professional and polite but also very approachable. She did an excellent job setting up and explaining all the dishes. Finally, the food! Absolutely amazing! The hits were the leaf-wrapped elven lembdas bread and Balin's spiced beef (brisket). The brisket was so tender it melted in your mouth. While those two were the standouts, the rest of the food certainly held its own and disappeared quickly. I would definitely use Farm to Feast for any future catering needs.

I used Farm to Feast for a funeral reception recently and was disappointed in the quality of food…read more The mini cheesesteaks were not recognizable as such, yes they were mini, had expected at least 4". The ham and biscuits were pasty with deli ham; ropa vieja empanadas were unimpressive and doughy, chicken skewers were bland- looked poached, mini crab cakes were not memorable. The staff was responsive, available and worked easily with my contact so I had guessed it would be fine. I was moved by the name and had expected freshness, goodness and quality. I wanted my husband's reception to be beautiful with delicious food but instead, I was embarrassed with what was served. Don't be fooled by the pictures on the site, buyer beware.

It's in the same Plaza as the Amish market, so there's plenty of parking. I stepped inside and there were a couple of chairs for waiting along the window. Otherwise, it's a small open space and there are desserts on display, I'm in you to read, and very polite staff behind the counter. I decided to get the blackened salmon and shrimp entree with collard greens and mac and cheese. I got their salts at caramel banana pudding for dessert. I decided to use my insulated bag and wait until I got to my friend's house to eat. I love the shrimp and the salmon. They were seasoned well, but not to a point of tasting too salty, which can happen at a lot of soul food restaurants for me. Unfortunately, despite the good flavor, this was the case with the collard greens, whew. Also, there is turkey in there, so don't get it as a vegetarian option! The mac and cheese was good... Not sure where I would put it in my rankings, but I enjoyed it. That banana pudding.... Whoa. It was the perfect dessert, and I would happily get it again. The salted caramel and banana balance surprisingly well. Their top rankings are well deserved, and I am looking forward to trying their wings and other items next time!
