It sits off the street with minimal lighting at the entrance so I initially drove past it. Once inside, I was really impressed with how the organizers transformed the space. It's really flexible & perfect for small to medium sized events. It's literally a blank slate awaiting your creative vision. You can comfortably seat roughly 100 guests. Free parking is available onsite and there are a couple outdoor areas available for ceremonies as well. Finally, the cost is reasonable. If you can host your event Monday - Thursday, there's even more cost savings. Staff members are available to help and man the bar. Check them out!

I recently held my 45th birthday celebration and 25th wedding anniversary at Grace Event Center in…read moreWaldorf, MD, on January 10, 2026. While the event space itself is beautiful, my experience with the staff and catering was extremely disappointing. From start to finish, the event staff were unprofessional and rude to my guests. Several guests were told they could only have one plate despite us paying for an open buffet, which caused embarrassment. One catering staff member even pushed my mother and maintained a negative attitude throughout the event. I also became ill after eating the turkey meatballs we ordered. I do not eat beef, yet the food appeared to contain beef, causing severe stomach discomfort for me. Interestingly, my guests did not have any issues, which suggests there may have been a mistake in the preparation. I brought these concerns to the attention of the event coordinator, who I believe is the owner, Carla, but the staff's behavior was excused rather than addressed. Unfortunately, despite the beautiful space, I cannot recommend Grace Event Center due to the unprofessionalism of the staff and catering issues. I would suggest considering other venues to avoid a similar experience.

The Center has choice rooms to accommodate your guests, free parking, and nice restroom facilities. When I did visit the area in person, they welcomed me with open arms. It was like we met before but we hadn't! The owner, Mrs. Carla and Office Manager, Mrs. Lisa were the greatest in helping me plan my event. The entire Staff was very friendly, courteous and hospitable. The food was delicious, seasoned to taste, and we all had plenty to eat! I had a wonderful time along with all my guests, DJ, and decorator! Look no further when planning a nice event, this is the right place! I truly wish to thank everyone who played a part in my celebration and look forward to my next event. It was well worth the trip (300+ miles away). I was a happy vintage Queen! Hats off to Graces Event Center!! You are the best and I highly recommend you!! Until next time..... Blanche

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.

The buffet that was served was carribean food and I have to say was some of the best carribean food I have had in a while! The only that was not spiced up was the fried chicken but that could have been for people that could not handle alot of spice and flavor. They also had a beautiful bar with stool top chairs and a huge television/ monitor. This place can literally used for anything from family get together, parties, club nights, but for us it was used to hold our repass. The owners were extraordinary people and we were thankful to be able to use there space for our event. If you are looking for a great location venue give this place a look. You'll be glad you did.

I am writing this review as a very dissatisfied paying customer who did not receive the level of…read moreservice, professionalism, or quality that I was promised and paid in full for. My Dad found this business online and suggested we go with her after. talking to her and having a pleasant first contact. My experience, thereafter with Annod and the owner, Donna, was frustrating, disappointing, and completely unprofessional from beginning to end. After paying my invoice in full to host my graduation party at her Accokeek location, Donna went completely silent for long stretches of time throughout the planning process. She ignored numerous texts and calls from me asking questions for my vendors (DJ, caterer, bartender, etc.) who needed important information to prepare for my event. When I finally reached her, I was told not to call and to only text because she was dealing with personal issues. Despite me needing information, she didn't put me in contact with someone else who could assist, and she was constantly active on social media. That is unacceptable behavior for someone running a business. Trying to plan a party brings a lot of anxiety and Donna nor her team did anything to alleviate that. Having no contact with you until FOUR days until the event, when she ought to know planning takes weeks and months to execute shows her lack of care and concern for her customers once she has your money. To make matters worse, Donna waited until just two days before my event to update my invoice, which added unnecessary stress and confusion right before my celebration. For someone who claims to have 30 years of event planning experience, her lack of communication and organization was shocking. She demonstrated zero regard for my time, concerns, or the fact that I was paying for a professional service. The balloon garland I was charged for looked nothing like the reference photo I provided- Not worth the $275 paid. On the day of the party, Donna didn't even show up. Instead, she sent a family member (or someone on her team- not completely sure) who had no idea what was required or discussed. Good thing some of my family went early to make sure the setup looked how I envisioned (which it did not), and they were able to tell her the table requirements and things the vendors needed that were discussed with Donna just 4 days prior. My vendors were missing tables and accommodations. They wanted to set my DJ up on a highboy table instead of the 6-foot table, previously discussed. Insane. The colors were completely wrong and mismatched, and the centerpieces were nothing like what I ordered. I paid for a backdrop, and she couldn't even provide proof of the backdrop before I got there. It was $150, and when I got there, it was my first time seeing it. I would have liked to have viewed it before she printed it. Same with the template on the photo booth. She did not provide anything, and I asked MULTIPLE times. The request was ignored. It ended up being a lot of floral, and that was something I told her I did not want. And speaking of the photobooth, less than 24 hours before my event, Donna informed me that the 360-degree photo booth I had booked was no longer available. I was forced to accept a different booth at the last minute. Although she extended the hours to compensate, the last-minute change showed a total lack of planning and respect for her clients. The situation only got worse. The bathroom ran out of toilet paper, the lights went out, and my guests had to use the bathroom in the dark, with no way to contact anyone from Donna's team. It was embarrassing and unacceptable. I also paid for setup and cleanup services, but because Donna was not on site to manage her staff, my family and guests had to assist with setting up and cleaning up, even after paying for those services. At one point, a member of her team asked my mother to help clean, which was beyond unprofessional. The tablecloths were dirty, the floors were not mopped (or even swept, it seemed), the decorations were not as promised (I wanted nudes, pinks, and soft purples and got blue, purple, and pink), and overall, the execution of my event did not reflect the package or price I paid for. Donna frequently promotes lavish, well-coordinated events on social media, but that is not what I received. What I got was disorganization, lack of accountability, and poor communication from start to finish. I would not recommend this company to anyone who values professionalism, reliability, or quality service. My family and I spent our hard-earned money expecting a stress-free, well-executed celebration, and instead, I got disappointment and frustration. She may provide better services if it is not in her event space and she is only responsible for a small portion of the setup. Do your research and read the reviews before booking...I wish I had.

My first time using this event space was excellent. The owner was very helpful, accommodating, and…read morecompassionate since my grandfather had passed away. However, my second experience was unforgettable for all the wrong reasons, and I will not be returning due to the lack of ethics and the overall horrible experience. Originally, our agreement was for the bigger event space for my children's birthday party. We booked it one week prior to our event date due to a cancellation. The owner stated she had another event that evening, but since our party was earlier, she would be able to accommodate us. She created the invoice, and we paid most of it the same day and the remainder that Monday. During our initial conversation and on the day of payment, we informed her of all the stations and vendors we had coming, which included a moon bounce, soft play area, and several other vendors and focal points. On Wednesday, she sent me a text asking how many guests we were expecting because she might be putting our event in her smaller venue. I immediately called her, and she stated this was due to her floor being redone in the larger space. She also said she would check with the contractor to see what he said about the floors. I expressed concern, and she assured me she was unable to access the bigger space due to wet floors. She said she would call around to see if someone else could accommodate us. Due to the last-minute change and the fact that we already had external vendors booked, we were left with very few options and ultimately had to use the smaller space. She insisted there was no way possible for us to use the bigger space because of the floors. She also told us the smaller space was half the size -- which it was not. She allowed us to enter the venue early, which appeared accommodating at first. However, once we entered, it was freezing cold. Some of the lights were broken, and we were informed we couldn't close the door because it was broken and hanging off, which allowed cold air to continuously blow in. We turned the heat up to 88 degrees with no success. The owner entered the facility three times throughout the entire event and still did not resolve the heating issue. She stated the room would warm up, but it never did. On February 7th, 2026, the weather was bitterly cold, with temperatures only reaching around 15°F and wind chill values dropping even lower as part of an extreme cold event, which made the indoor conditions even more unacceptable. When our balloon artist arrived, she accidentally entered the bigger building -- the one we originally booked -- and saw that the owner had already set it up for the evening event. That confirmed she had not been truthful about the floors. As guests arrived, neither the children nor the adults could remove their coats because of how cold it was. I called the owner to address the temperature issue. The second time we called, she did not answer the phone. After waiting over 20 minutes, I called again, and she finally said she was on her way. The personal heaters arrived at the end of the party and were completely inadequate for a commercial space. One of them couldn't even be properly placed due to safety concerns with the children. At the conclusion of the party, we cleaned up and discussed compensation due to the mishaps and unacceptable conditions. She said she would consider it. After 48 hours, I had to follow up to request the return of my 24-hour deposit and ask if she had considered our conversation. She asked for proof of payment, which I provided, and it still took another day to receive my deposit back. She sent an additional $100, which was nowhere near comparable to the inconvenience and hardships she caused. Overall, the experience was horrible for the adults and uncomfortable for the children. The space was cramped, we couldn't set up all the stations, and I wasn't able to use my backdrop or balloon arches that I had already paid vendors for. What made it worse was knowing that she had lied about the availability of the bigger space. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this venue after this experience
