My most recent visit was this past Saturday for a Celebration of Life. Everything went amazingly perfect. I accidently showed up an hour in advance, and all was set up!! Literally! Simply beautiful!! I am glad that I attended this place for events prior to reading the reviews. It is my hope that w better communication w both parties for future events, this business earns a 5 Star average rating as they have so much potential.

(1:00 pm to 5:00 pm) It was ideal, I spoke with Kia initially, very pleasant with great customer service. The caterer would arrive at 1:00 pm and the family and guest would arrive at 2:15 pm to 2:30pm and we would wrap up at 4:30 pm and be out by 5:00pm. I spoke with Demitira and she was delightful; she assured me that she we would have the tables and linen we needed. It was absolutely beautiful! What I was not told is the following. The person onsite, I believe her name was Pat approach my caterer and my DJ not me the point of contact and told them to shut everything down at 4:00 pm. I understand that the last hour was the cleanup. I don't understand why we could not listen to music for 30 minutes why we cleaned up. When I approached her, her response was, "Per the contract everyone must leave other than those that are part of the cleanup, and the music must be shut off." I made an announcement to 130 guests about the above-mentioned statement from the person onsite, that they must leave... Please understand that was a 130-guests last experience with Diamondz. We don't have to leave but you have to get out of here!!! 130 people will not return to your event space!

What a cool venue!…read more I went here for an advertising awards ceremony and it was a lot of fun. I love the layout. Bars up stairs and down. Upstairs cut out with drink trays alike the railing so you can look down on the stage. A lot like Union transfer but smaller. Sound system is really great. I'd love to see a band here. People were saying they do a lot of weddings here and I understand why.

Last night, my high school class had our 10 year reunion here. When you think of banquet halls, you…read morethink of big spaces and old looking decor. This place is the opposite of that. It's more intimate so the space isn't as open but it's nice. It has the vibe of a club or lounge, which would be great for younger and non traditional banquet hall people. Great for birthday parties, baby showers, retirement party, pretty much any party. I would not recommend for a wedding reception unless the guest list is small. This is only because the space is smaller. There are two floors. The bottom floor looks like where food is usually served and the upstairs is the bar and dance floor. I don't think this setup could work for a large wedding reception since the meal is usually served to everyone together and the downstairs space would not be big enough for everyone to dine together. I also noticed how this place allows outside catering. Not sure if they cater themselves but this is nice and may be an inexpensive option for those looking for a venue to rent where they may want to bring their own food. I would love to throw a party here in the future.

I arrived to the venue safely ... lol and realized my concerns were unnecessary. The venue has security at the door and $10 valet service. (Yesssss $10 for valet ... unheard of in Philadelphia) walking into the venue I was pleasantly surprised, the venue size is more of an intimate space and it's GORGEOUS. The decor is very modern (leather furniture, spectacular chandeliers, gorgeous flower arrangements and a beautiful bar area) The staff (the owners, doorman, valet, bartenders and cleaning crew) were all extremely accommodating, they went above and beyond to ensure the party was a phenomenal success.

The grounds of the venue were immaculately kept. The bar was fully stocked and the bartending staff worked quickly. There was never a wait in line for more than 1 minuet with our 180 person wedding. The staff set everything up perfectly as we discussed prior to the wedding day. We received raving reviews about the venue and the way things ran day of from our guest. If you have your wedding here use Susan as your day of coordinator. You will not regret it. Her attention to detail and ability to manage tons of people is impeccable. We did not use a wedding planner because Susan answered any question I might've had about wedding planning starting from a year leading up to the wedding. After looking through about 20 venues in the dmv area this was the most inclusive, unique and affordable option I was able to find. We are so happy we had our wedding here.

It was just our group downstairs for the late dinner and the staff who took care of us were amazing. We all ordered drinks and they brought out complimentary biscuits that were piping hot and fresh. It was super moist and so good with the buttered balls spread on it. For my main, I chose the Shrimp and Scallops Etouffe. The pieces were large and the creole sauce was excellent. After dinner, our member friend took us on a tour of the mansion. It was great seeing the different rooms. This place was huge and the architecture was really beautiful. What an amazing experience to be able to dine here and explore this space!

The Engineer's Club is located in the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion in Mount Vernon. It's the city's oldest private social club, but it hosts events and weddings in addition to serving its membership functions. It was an absolutely stunning venue for an opera. The staircase, the wood, the stage...! If you love architecture, you just have to see it for yourself (may in combination with that other gorgeous building just down the street - you know the one!). Definitely adding it to my list of Baltimore's most beautiful buildings. If you have a chance, don't hesitate to visit for a performance or event. I know I'll be back for another opera next season. They also offer tours, which I am adding to my must do in Baltimore list!

A NIGHTMARE for What Should've Been a Joyous Occassion…read more I hosted my 30th birthday brunch at The Belvedere, the overall experience was deeply disappointing and frustrating. The food was served cold I, the guest of honor, received my meal last. The service staff was disorganized and unprofessional: drinks were served in glasses with visible mold, a guest was spilled on with syrup, place cards were ignored. (Which I had to MAKE MYSELF to add) After submitting a detailed formal complaint, their response was both disappointing and dismissive. They blamed the cold food and disorganized service on my late arrival -- which, while true, does not excuse the breakdown in execution. The original schedule was for starters to be served at 12:45 and entrées at 1:10. Due to my delay, starters were served at 1:20 -- only 35 minutes off -- yet entrées didn't arrive until 2:30, nearly an hour later. Even with the slight delay in the start, the kitchen had ample time to follow the adjusted timeline. Their excuse was that the food was ready at 12:45 -- but if that's the case, why was it not served until nearly two hours later, after we'd already finished starters by 1:45? Rather than take any accountability for the cold meals, lack of coordination, and overall poor service, they deflected blame and offered no refund, no accommodation, and no solutions. At first they offered to sit down with us & the team to discuss further. But once we added we wanted to bring statements from guest to eliminate the "he said, she said"at the advice of an attorney, they stopped communicating with us entirely. After we pleaded with them that we were not seeking council or legal action they still never responded. The lack of professionalism and unwillingness to make things right only deepened the disappointment. This was supposed to be a joyful milestone event, and instead it became a source of stress and embarrassment. I do not recommend The Belvedere for any event unless you want terrible service, communication, and professionalism. If you stayed this far the venue was beautiful. But at what cost? Not the amount of money, time & effort put into this day to just be silenced and not considered at all.

The ceremony was beautifully decorated with a chandelier at the top of the tent. It's a great option if you're looking to get married outside but concerned about weather. For the women and elderly at least, you do have to watch your steps when going outside since it's a bit of a cobblestone path in heels or those with poor balance. They do however have handicap access with a ramp. Happy for my cousin and wonderful service!
