Under Katy Linder's management, the support before and during the event was outstanding. Katy was attentive to every detail from the first visit to the last dance. Mike Horan made caipirinhas worthy of a Brazilian expert, and Mike Naas was always present, even finding a private space for our samba dancers to change. If you are planning a special celebration, we highly recommend Rock Creek Mansion. Thank you, Katy, Mike and Mike, for making Len's 80th so memorable!

This review is being left three months after our event. While the venue setting was nice, and the…read moreservers were pleasant and on point, we have had lingering issues after the event for three months, trying to wrap matters up. Checks for the bar staff written the night of the event were not cashed. We sent inquiries each month, offered to bring cash to settle up, were then told the checks had been found, but they still did not make it to the bank. We were trying to close the event bank account by year end of 2022. We have received so many conflicting instructions from management that it has been totally frustrating.

Gala presenting a fanfare to the African culture with the backdrop of the building's ecofriendly & urban architectural design. In both areas I crossed paths with some of the Hospitality, A/V & Catering teams who were interactively busy & pleasant. GapBuster is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit & minority-founded educational organization dedicated to empowering the community through education benefiting their students/mentees in aiming to close the educational performance gap. The gala featured Keynote Speaker Kojo Yankah, former Member of the Ghana Parliament & founder of the African University College of Communications. Other special guets included Pat Lawson-Muse of NBC News 4, Congressman Jamie Raskin & Montgomery County Council At-Large Candidate Hoan Dang. The notable guest of the evening in which I had the esteemed honor in meeting, was King Peggy (Nana Amuah-Afenyi VI - born Peggielene Bartels), the first woman King & Reigning Chief of Tantum in Ghana. I didn't venture around the entire space, however on my way out I quickly spanned the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery (former First Lady of MoCo) that supports the arts & humanities. The portico to the plaza is a popular space for concerts, famer's market, festivals, live entertainment...I saw light advertisement for the upcoming seasonal ice skating rink & annual Silver Spring Jazz Festival which is held in front of the building. There's a parking garage across the street on Ellsworth Drive if you can't find street parking. I saw many people parking in the Whole Foods parking lot...not suggesting, just to note. From the Silver Spring Metro Rail Station - Red Line, it's a very casual 15 minute walk.

The space was perfect to fit several different team tables but still have everyone all together in one room. It was also really cool to be in a location filled with so much history.

I was also pleasantly surprised by the wine offerings (rarely is the one red option something interesting & delicious like a montepulciano, yay!). I would definitely go back for another event again!

The space was clean and our area was a bit small, but fit our group. We were able to use the kitchen facilities for lunch and coffee.

Note that the workspace closes at 5, so if you are a late worker, you may need to pack up early.

Gretchen Kapuscik made planning our wedding at the National Union Building far more stressful than…read moreit needed to be. I plan events professionally, and this was one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I've had. We held a small wedding with about 14 guests. Even so, the weeks leading up to it involved an exhausting amount of back-and-forth over basic details. During our walkthrough, we understood that the room would be set according to our floor plan before we arrived. Days before the wedding, we were still being told that moving chairs was our responsibility. We also had to keep pressing for answers about the setup and timeline when the event was right around the corner. What made it especially hard was the way those conversations felt. We needed someone willing to help us work through the details, and too often Gretchen's responses came across as condescending and focused on what couldn't be done. By the end, I felt like I was managing the venue instead of being supported by it. Our wedding day was beautiful, and I'm grateful for that. But getting there took far more energy than a couple should have to spend on venue coordination, especially for an event this small. If you're considering this venue for a special day, I'd strongly recommend getting every setup responsibility and timing detail confirmed in writing before you book, otherwise I'd strongly suggest choosing another location!!
