She helped make our day super special and we will never forget it. She made our dream wedding come true with all of her attention to detail and our guests raved about her setup. We appreciate Picnic & Peonies and all of their hard work, time and dedication - ensuring that everything came together for our special day. Before asking her to work with us, we were dreading the wedding planning process but once our vision revolved around the amazing work by this company, it was much easier to articulate our dream wedding. We have already received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing everything looked and turned out. Without Michelle, our wedding would not have been as perfect and special as it truly was. We will forever support and recommend this business to friends and family and can't wait to host another picnic soon.

What sets them apart is their superb customer service: they are so responsive and accommodating. We asked to create a specific vision we had in mind for our friend's bridal shower, and they pulled it off so perfectly. They really work closely with you to meet and even exceed your expectations. Their aesthetics and designs are just flawless!! You won't be disappointed.

We worked with DC Occasions for my wife's party 6 months ago and we knew we wanted Jhonda again. We had all confidence that she would ensure this party was another great experience and it was. She captured the Caribbean island vibe with large displays and the finer touches that made everything so impressive. Many of my guests complimented the room decor. Jhonda is a pleasure to work with, she brings a high level of creativity and passion to her designs. She is very client focused, thoroughly communicates at each planning milestone. It's obvious that her priority is highly positive customer experience. It is without hesitation, I recommend DC Occasions for any type of event/celebration that you want to be impressive and memorable. Stan Jones Stafford, Virginia

So it was cool to dress up and help them celebrate their birthdays. Venue reminds me of an old school Rave . Plenty of parking and room for 40-50 people easily . When you rent it out , you get the entire facility for your party !! Included Bar tender and In not sure if the DJ was separate or if they hired him separately. Not sure if they gave him some type of playlist or if he chose the music but that was probably the only negative... he clearly wasn't reading the room . I would def recommend this spot for birthdays, wedding party's , or large get togethers. But request your own DJ One last cool thing was .. the metro and amtrac trains are literally right next to Building , separated by 10 foot privacy fence but when the trains roll past, they are at full speed and it seemed to be something everyone was kind of intrigued by and surprised by I guess because of how fast it's going by.. just a cool but safe unique thing everyone was surprisingly excited about when they seen it for first time

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!
