Thanks to Kelly and everyone at Whistling Wren Farm, they made the experience as easy, painless, and fun as it could be. Weddings of course come with so much stress, but they were there every step of the way. Me, my now husband, and our families were supported through the entire process and Kelly was on top of everything! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Lots of love, Sam and Josh

It was unfortunate that the couple was prevented from having their last dance due to a disagreement that got heated between the DJ and the venue owners who then abruptly turned on the lights and ended the reception, very bewildering to us all. No apology or explanation was issued that may have decreased our dissatisfaction. We also would recommend installing permanent bathrooms (the luxury portable toilets were better than expected) and providing heat in some way. We also had feedback from guests that the venue owners felt a bit overbearing and intrusive at times.

I visited Rocklands Farm Winery with my husband and four members of his family that were visiting…read moreus for the weekend this past Saturday. I absolutely loved our time there. I have had Rocklands Farm wines before - we can find their wines at wine shops and restaurants around Baltimore, and I've always enjoyed them. The property is beautiful! There are ponds and geese and barns and tons of picnic tables. There are plenty of areas reservable for parties and weddings. They have a luxury restroom trailer like I've seen at weddings in recent years, which were clean and nice enough! They offer flights, wines by the glass, and many more by the bottle. We selected four bottles (one skin contact, one white, and two reds) to share and also grabbed a local cheese and some crackers from their fridge to enjoy with our wine. On Saturday when we visited, they also had two vendors - one making pizzas and one making Argentinian food (we had a pizza over the time we were there). The wines were all great, and we had a great time drinking and playing board games we had brought with us. Rocklands Farm Winery focuses on low-intervention, small batch wines made with native yeasts. They were interesting and delicious - all four we tried (well, five, counting the glass of Pet Nat I also tried since we didn't get a whole bottle of that and I couldn't resist!). So if you love natural wine in a beautiful, comfortable setting - Rocklands Farm Winery should be on your list to visit!

If you're looking for something to eat before your round, I would definitely check with the staff at clubhouse about food options first, but this is a great alternative if you're looking for a sit-down meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

I would like to start off saying I would NEVER recommend or book with Rendezvous by Maria (Mitzie)…read moreReich LLC (also known as Reich World Events Services) business' again. This business has demonstrated a consistent lack of professionalism, honesty, and communication. The issues began when Maria double booked the venue we contracted through her. Instead of contacting me to discuss the error, she sent an email on a Friday evening confirming a different venue she had already booked without my approval. We approved a decoration mockup created by her assistant; however, the day-of execution did not match what was agreed upon. The tablecloths provided were wrinkled and visibly damaged, including holes and mold. Although Maria stated replacements were on the way, the issue was not properly resolved. Additionally, the table runners were the wrong color and there was not enough inventory, resulting in mismatched runners, which was not part of the agreement. Maria was not present for setup, leaving the work to her assistant and others, which contributed to poor coordination. After the event, I communicated my dissatisfaction with both the planning and execution. Maria stated she would provide compensation in writing, which never occurred. Our contract also included a $200 refundable deposit, which she acknowledged would be returned. It has now been nearly three months, with repeated follow-ups and no resolution or refund issued. While personal circumstances were cited as the reason for delays, failure to return a contractual deposit and follow through on written commitments is unacceptable. This business did not meet contractual obligations, and I would strongly advise against booking with this business!

A Golden Celebration to Remember! If I could give Rendezvous…read moremore than five stars, I would do it in a heartbeat. We recently celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary at the Holiday Inn in Gaithersburg and I was naturally a bit anxious about making such a massive milestone feel special. From the moment we sat down with the Rendezvous team, specifically Mitzi and her daughter-in-law, Abby, all that stress just evaporated. They listened to every detail that I specified and gave me suggestions and other choices to choose from. Right from the start, Mitzi and Abby made me feel comfortable about my decision to hire them. The decorations were beautiful. They managed to strike that perfect balance between "Golden Anniversary" opulence and warm, inviting intimacy. The floral arrangements, all fresh flowers, were spectacularly elegant. The tables were set up as I specified, with gold table cloth, napkins and place settings. They transformed the Holiday Inn ballroom into something that felt both nostalgic and sophisticated. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how beautiful the room looked! Now, let's talk about the food. Prior to our event, Mitzi and Abby invited us to a food tasting event where there were about a dozen dishes that I could choose from. And they delivered! The appetizers were creative and flavorful, and the main courses and desserts were cooked to absolute perfection. As for the service, the Rendezvous servers were well trained, attentive and professional. In conclusion, Rendezvous treated our very special celebration with the respect and care it deserved. They didn't just "cater" a party; they hosted an experience. To the entire team: Thank you for making our golden year shine so brightly. If you are looking for a caterer who actually listens and delivers beyond your expectations, look no further than Rendezvous! ________________________________________

This place has improved over the years. Looks like they are redoing some green surrounds and…read morebunkers soon too. I heard rumors they are redoing their fairways next year as well. Affordable memberships considering the area. I have friends who have been members for years and still enjoy it. The golf course is really solid. They have a great mixture of holes. A couple of drivable par 4s and all the par 5s are reachable from certain tees. Two tough par 3s on the back that can make or break a round. Green surrounds are tough if you're in the wrong spot. The greens themselves are always in fantastic shape. They are severely sloped at times, so you must be accurate with your approach shots. I couldn't find the golf course architect on their website, but they did a good job considering the hilly topography and small footprint of the property. But I can also see one hitting pretty much the exact same shots every time no matter what tee box you're playing. Favorite hole: Par 5 12th, except for the yellow range balls that litter the left side. Downhill the entire way. Range on the left, trees and then the 18th hole on the right. Reachable for many with usually a blind-ish to a peninsula green with water right and long. The very tall red stake frames the front right of the green. Very cool hole before the brutally tough par 3 13th. The driving range is good and they have really nice Titleist practice balls to hit. The short game area is outstanding. I could spend hours out there with a few wedges. They have two small-ish putting greens on either side of the clubhouse. The restaurant is a great space and they have an area for bigger events. The food and service are both good too. Sadly, I have not enjoyed the pool area. Just a solid club overall. The members I have interacted with have all been great. I have had and heard somewhat mixed interactions with the people that run the place, but nothing bad enough to write about here.
