Find a good event space can be quite the feat, so maybe this review will help others make their decision. The venue is located on a busy street in Glen Burnie, not to far from the community college. There is limited parking available on the street in front of the venue, but there is also a free parking garage directly across the street. When you access the venue, you are standing in what would likely be consider a waiting area. A nice sized open space attached to what I would consider a bar, but I am sure he can be used for other purposes. For the party I attended, the open space was used for a photo booth and open bar. the perfect area for your guest to occupy if they main event space is not ready for them. The ballroom itself was indeed very grand! Large, wide-open with high ceiling, the perfect space for a birthday party or even a wedding reception. Very versatile. I did use the facilities while I was there and while they were small, they were clean. The entire venue, in fact; was clean. The few staff members I did encounter during my visit were nice, although the interactions were very brief. All and all, I was very impressed by my visit to The Grand Ballroom and will definitely recommend it to others in the future who are looking for a place to host their next event.

As you enter straight, you will be enamored by the grandness of the spacious ballroom with plenty of room for an elaborate event whether it's a wedding, reception, gala etc. We attended a book release gala and felt the luxury of the venue with some mini or flaws of which can be easily remedied of management take pride in this space. Sarah had been the epitome of the heart and soul of customer service as I visited several times with the organizers of the gala. Her patience and knowledge was impeccable! She thoroughly answered all questions and made herself available when needed. As you walk up the curved steps there are several rooms including a beautiful chandelier room with a panoramic view. This room is perfect backdrop for elegant photos. There's ample space for an open or cash bar in the section to your left. Cocktail hour was fancied by high top tables and the most friendly staff members at the open bar area. The bathrooms were well decorated and maintained. Unfortunately, there was no heat which was surprising as this place screams of luxury. Also, this was one of the coldest days of the year. I think that food should be included as I was aware that the food at the gala had been catered by a private chef or restaurant. There is plenty of parking which is within a gated area.

Sarah Selfox was very helpful, organized and professional in assistance with booking this venue…read more She was always prompt to respond and offered referrals for vendors that she had personally utilized in the past. The venue itself is a gem, a beautiful and elegant space. The maintenance leaves a lot to be desired. We hosted our event 12/5, the heat was not working in all areas, the chandelier rooms upstairs are beautiful but the walls could stand a cleaning or touchup paint job. They supplied a chaise for photos however it was stained. Personally, I caution anyone wanting to use this venue to read the contract and sit with management to review all sections as there are contradictory. Contract states we would have venue staff on the day of the event, however, we only had Daniel who monitored inside and one security officer who stayed in their vehicle the entire event. The rest was our guests, catering company staff, Our DJ and did I mention the freezing spaces Management stopped by for a quick introduction (first time meeting them though this rental is overpriced) during our event... I advise folks to request numerous walkthroughs and meet management or owners prior to full commitment . Beautiful space but I was let down by lack of consideration from management... I mean no Heat in December

Cost was beyond reasonable to being one of the best deals around. Although there was some minor miscommunication, everything was resolved and went off without a problem. The day of the wedding the site manager and his staff were extremely helpful. They were there at a moments notice for any request and made sure the place was in perfect running order. My guests have not stopped raving about how beautiful the location is and what a great time they had. If you want to get married in Prince George's County, not only do I suggest looking at Park & Planning's historic rental properties but I highly recommend Billingsley House as one of the best.

Wonderful event space!…read more Tons of room. Great lighting. I assume the decor can change but as my photo shows it was elegantly appointed for the event we attended... without being pretentious or overbearing. Parking lot is a bit small given it also serves other business in this vicinity.

I'm writing this review strictly about a member of The Great Room staff…read more I was delivering cupcakes for an event last weekend and when I arrived, I was told I need to talk to Angie (Head Event Manager) about logistics. Once I found her, simple questions like 'where do I put the cupcakes' and 'what time does the event start' were met with cold, short replies from Angie. She asked why the cupcake boxes weren't labeled and I told her my client did not request it, I was only told to make the cupcakes and deliver them. The flavors were pretty obvious but I wrote them down anyway. She then implied that I wasn't prepared, again in a condescending tone. Certainly not how I wanted to be treated after spending 6 hours making cupcakes! I was actually considering having an event here, but if I have to deal with Angie I definitely won't be booking them.

My husband and I were married at Harwood Hills Farm this past Saturday, the 15th of October. From…read morethe moment we saw this beautiful property, we were obsessed. It's the perfect venue for any outdoor wedding. You can go classic country and full on rustic or add your own flare, like we did with a vintage adventure theme. Either way, your vision will come to life with the help of the amazing scenery and landscape. Honestly, even with minimal decor, the venue will take your guests' breath away. There is a charming bridal suite in one barn with beautiful vintage furniture including a vanity for the bride and her bridesmaids to get ready and take the most amazing photos. Opposite of the suite is the most adorable bar where your caterer can set up for drinks. The main barn is beautiful, with natural light pouring through the sides and it's huge, with tons of room for decorations and personal touches. We used it for our ceremony and it was stunning. The property seems endless, as there is tons of space for tents of any size for a reception or just a set up under the stars in the summertime. There are winding paths and a clearing in the woods that is beautiful for a ceremony or first look. There is even a fire pit, which we set up a s'mores bar four our guests near. Besides the scenery itself, Rick and Terry are amazing hosts. They take great care of their brides and grooms and make sure to keep in contact, making sure everyone is on the same page. The vendors they recommended took great care of us as well. They let us use hay bales to make cute furniture and a lot of other decor they owned themselves, to add to our wedding decor. When our coordinator slacked, they picked up and helped with EVERYTHING. I would recommend this venue to anyone for a wedding, photo shoot, or anything else needing an outdoor setting.

I attended a wedding here, and I think this was one of the best wedding venues I've ever been to…read more In fact, that was a sentiment shared by everyone I talked to at the wedding. If you are looking to have a rustic, country-style wedding, this is the place to have it. The vistas are majestic, and the setting is magical. I loved the barns and the old machinery which give the place a lot of charm. There's even a meadow for the ceremony that's down a winding path...so cool for the reveal! The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. In fact, the pies they served (especially the blueberry) were some of the best I've ever had. All in all, this is a great place to get married, and I hope I get to come back!
