    It's called Noelle's Lounge now at 563 & 565 Ritchie Road; Capitol Heights, MD. I rented the center…read morein December for an event in June. I purchased so much stuff, booked a band, dj, and much more. I spent over $20,000 on this event. I get a call on the day of the event at 5:21 pm saying there is a slight issue with the a/c unit, so they are extending the graduation party that wad going on prior to my party and they will extend my event; someone is working on the unit. Mind you, my event was supposed to start at 8pm. Okay, at this point I'm nervous. I spent all this money to beautify this venue. The vision for my event was for this venue. I get a call back at 7pm asking me to come see how it feels in the center; it was hotter than it was outside. I couldn't have a band playing and people drinking alcohol in a hot box. They had a few fans blowing hot air. The center don't have windows, it was unbreathable air. At this point I'm upset and the sound person for the band was already setting up because i didn't contact any of my vendors thinking the a/c would be fixed, since there was a slight problem. Oh and the event they claim was going on wasn't there. I have a Caterer, party planner and much more on the way . Too late to cancel. I had to find another venue, which was smaller and $500 more. Speaking with the owner, Mr. Frazer said he would make it right and give me my money back immediately and a free day to have another event. He talked about how his partner was nowhere to be found and leaving him to clean up the mess. I had to pay additional money to my vendors because I was late and they had to go to a new venue. Just a mess as of today, July 29th, I haven't heard from the owners. I reached out to them with no response. I lost a lot of money and they were not empathetic and completely lied about my free day. As a business person, your word should be your bond. From reliable sources, they knew the air wasn't working early that day. Bad business ethics! Oh and that roach that was crawling on the floor should've died in that heat.

    I attended an event at this venue and enjoyed myself. The main room was set up for approximately…read more100 guests with a stage for the guest of honor, a nice sized bar, and area for the DJ. I liked that there was an area before you walked into the main room which was used as a set up for the buffet and spot for the photographers to take pictures. What I didn't like was the bathroom set up. There was one for men and one for women but because of that, a line formed due to there only being one "stall." Parking was fine because the venue was located in a shopping center. I would attend another event but probably would not host one of my own.

    Oh my goodness, Andrea was incredible!! We hired her as a partial planner and she surpassed our…read moreexpectations and then some. We realized around 7 months out that while we had booked some of the major things, we were overwhelmed and in over our heads, and she really saved the day and made it all possible - planning a wedding is a lot y'all!! Especially from out of state, whew! She helped us with finding quality vendors, keeping us on track/organized through her super helpful portal (which had sections for design planning, vendor contacts, budget, seating charts, to-do list, advice, etc), with a number of scheduled video calls and by checking in via email. We used zola for our website but I regret not going with her option to build a website for us because zola had a lot of frustrating limitations (couldn't even add links or bold things where we needed to). She had a helpful assistant through the prep process and an amazing, kind wedding day team who helped assemble my dream design elements. I'm a designer and made mockups of how I wanted things to look and uploaded pictures to the portal design studio, and they followed my vision so well!! And they even made one part look more tasteful than I had planned - loved it! Maybe more importantly, Andrea and her team basically made everything run smoothly, including packing up all the stuff we gave them to set out at the end of the night and dropping it off at my husband's dad's house since our venue was strict and needed everything out ASAP. What a relief to just show up to the wedding day (and leave) knowing all of those little details were being set up and taken care of - it was awesome! On the day-of, Andrea and her team were connected with the vendors with headsets, making everything run smoothly and communicating with the DJ about who was coming down the aisle for the songs to line up. She also helped us and the rest of the staff adjust and pivot after our ceremony went way overtime (we should've known, our rabbi loves the poetic details, which was beautiful in the moment, and my husband & I probably should've planned for more time knowing that lol). She helped us calm down after realizing how behind we were because she stayed so calm and collected, and calmly walked us through deciding what to shift for the rest of our timeline (we packed a lot of rituals in there). She also swooped in to help when I was having trouble with my makeshift dress bustle (she had worked at a bridal shop in the past - so amazingly helpful!) Andrea is so kind, calm, organized, approachable, and just nice to work with. She talked me through a few anxieties when I was overthinking things and in general, she was super patient with our moments of indecision and neurosis lol. I'm going to miss our rapport and check-ins, it was so nice knowing she had our backs throughout this whole process. Wedding planning is an overwhelming process, so having someone there for us like she was was a total game changer. I wish I knew more people in the area to recommend her - if you're on the fence, definitely hire her! She's amazing and you won't regret it!! (Waiting for our official photos but sharing a few of what we have for now)

    She's the best! Andrea and the Entyse Lyfe team are simply the best. All we started with was a…read moredress and two months before the wedding date. Andrea turned it into the wedding of my dreams. From the beginning Andrea was professional, organized and full of ideas! She asked us what our must have wedding details were and found a way to make sure that we had them in the wedding. I appreciated all of the vendor recommendations she provided. They fit in perfectly with the style and tone of the wedding. She was there every step of the way and alleviated all of the wedding planning stress that she could. Andrea had a solution for everything that came up through the process. Even down to the end, like not having a cake stand for 2 of the cakes a day before the wedding. She came up with a substitute that was beautiful, matched the decor and no one was the wiser. The day of the wedding she was there with her team and the magic happened!! It was a beautifully arranged room and better than I imagined. The days events went along smoothly. But, it was Andrea and her team working hard behind the scenes to ensure that all we had to do was enjoy ourselves! And, everyone enjoyed themselves. The best decision I made other than my husband was hiring Andrea as my wedding planner.

    My wife and I were keen on finding a venue that had a vibrant nature and outdoorsy vibe. We were…read moreimmediately charmed when we first saw East Lynn Farms, and met the team behind its operation. The owners Georgia and Peter were incredibly supportive, and gave sage advice throughout our planning process. In addition, Alyson, who handles the emails for the farm, was always incredibly quick to provide responses to our questions, and was a pleasure to communicate with. We visited the venue a couple times throughout 2019 between January and our wedding this past September. It takes some imagination to picture how the grounds would look like on your wedding day, because it transforms so much with each season. However, we thought it was gorgeous and made for a terrific backdrop each time we visited regardless of the season. The farm is between an hour to an hour and a half outside of D.C. so it is a fantastic option for getting a rustic venue space that is still accessible for our friends living in the city and the families flying in to Reagan or Dulles. There is a lot of flexibility for events at East Lynn Farms, which may be a stressor for couples depending on their appetite for DIY versus a turnkey wedding option. The farm includes some decorations and a list of recommended vendors, but we were not restricted to the list as long as the vendors we chose had the appropriate license and insurance. The farm allows you to provide our own beverages for events, and we were able to save quite a bit by sourcing our drinks from Costco rather than ordering through the caterer. My wife and I were initially worried about how hot might be at the tail end of Summer, and we contemplated renting fans or A/C units for the wedding. Thankfully, Georgia advised us that the surrounding mountains provided the area with a cooler ambient temperature and a reasonable breeze that negated the need for that hefty expense. On our wedding day, the weather was perfect! Even at the peak of the afternoon it never got so hot that it was uncomfortable to wear a suit jacket, and at the end of the night it wasn't so cold that one needed a jacket. There's no limit of the amount of praise and recommendations my wife and I would give to East Lynn! We honestly couldn't have imagined a better place to have our wedding!
