I recently ordered catering from Best of Occasions, and I could not be happier with the experience…read more The food was absolutely delicious--freshly made, full of amazing flavor, and prepared to perfection. The portions were huge, and the packaging was exceptional and very professional. When I arrived to pick up my order, everything was being packed right on time and was still hot from the stove. You could tell the food was made with care and attention. The customer service was outstanding from start to finish, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The cuisine is truly out of this world--hands down the best Sierra Leonean food I've had in the DMV area. I would highly recommend Best of Occasions for any event--birthday parties, weddings, or any special occasion. They truly live up to their name, and the food is exceptional! I will definitely be ordering again.

Irving's Banquet Hall is a nice venue located in Marlow Heights…read more You could easily pass this by and wouldn't know it even existed unless you were invited to a gathering/event that was held here! Once you step inside, there are 2 main areas - the first space could be set up for a DJ/musician, as there is a semi-large dance floor. In the next space, the ceilings are high and it's large and spacious for a sit-down gathering - there were tables that could seat at least 6-8 people, but with still plenty of room to move around. I really liked the different sparkly tiles and the chandeliers! Towards the back, you can have a mini buffet, or you can set up a catered area against the wall. Restrooms were also centrally located and easily accessible. Staff were on site to ensure that the lighting and the music had no issues. Located in a small strip plaza, there's plenty of parking in the shared lot. +dance floor/dining venue +plentiful parking in shared plaza lot

I needed to rent a snake because I had a backup in my main line. Decided to rent a 100 foot snake…read moreto do the job. My plumber met me there and one of the employees produced the contract. $150 for the deposit and $62 for a four hour rental, they also offered $6.18 for insurance. I declined. Backed my car up to the service area and a young fellow loaded it into my car. Even offered a cover to lay it on. Got to my house and snaked the pipe out. But during the job we noticed that the auto switch was broken so I had to use my keys to leverage the switch on. And then halfway through reeling the snake back into the coil the drive belt started slipping. So the plumber had to manually pull the snake back out. So when I returned it we informed the sales associate. He then offered a %15 discount, but my plumber wanted more. So I settled with and the rental ended up being $9 dollars less at $55. Overall wasn't too bad an experience. Good customer service! And they have a wide variety of rental needs on site.

Event though I could have done so, the guy that helped me ended up carrying the stuff to my car. They even told me that I did not have to clean the fountain when I brought it back. They would take care of it. They have just about everything. If you need a U-Haul...they got you. You need propane...they got you. You need a ladder, bobcat, of lawn equipment.....they got you. How about a fountain, a cotton candy machine, raffle machine, chairs or tables. Yep, they got that too. The place's customer service sets it apart from other rental joints. It has a small parking lot and a small customer lobby. They had 3 people working the counter when I was there, so there was not a long wait, if any, to check out. If you are ever in need of renting some equipment, I highly recommend checking this place out. They have competitive prices, nice equipment, and the best staff.

****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. A memorable evening to cherish as a delightful surprise by invitation. Their website offers a calendar of tastings and events, throughout the week in Southern Maryland. Not just for weddings, but also social and networking events, accommodating your guest up to one hundred or more. Plenty of parking on site.

I came here in hopes of booking a wedding...the staff were nice but apparently couldn't answer…read morequestions on prices because the chef set those. They had a website with prices that they said wasn't their site. They had two different prices list with different prices. We had a Saturday morning appointment you would think if the chef is the only that could tell the prices he would be there for the meeting or allow his office staff to book like most venues do. This was a total bust for me. Beautiful hall. Also no taste testing you would have to come to a date night in the middle of the week in hopes that he would be preparing what you want.

The social area was good but the bartender ran out of the nonalcoholic specialties as well as clean glasses, therefore had to use our glasses for refills. The soup; chicken corn chowder served with a puff pastry topping was very good and not overly hot where you could jump in and eat. The entree wasn't too desirable but satisfied the hunger. We had the stuffed hen breast, crab cake, mixed vegetables and roasted potatoes. The crab cake was dry and not seasoned served with cocktail sauce which was a no no! It would have been better with a lemon dill or hollandaise sauce. The stuffed hen was dry too and last season. Now I will say our event was delayed due to the weather which could cause food to be dry but the lack of season that was caused by not adding enough. The desserts were pretty good. I had a bite size chocolate mousse ball and small slice of strawberry shortcake, sorry no pictures of the desserts. Overall good experience.

I was sold on this venue when I had my first site visit and saw the breath-taking elegance! Working with the Mallards, the owners, was so easy and comforting.They readily answered and question I had, and were available when I needed them. When my guests arrived, their jaws practically dropped to the floor. Most were unaware such a beautiful site exists in Waldorf. They were quite impressed. Boy did we have a celebration!
