I recently utilized this venue and I have to say, I was overwhelmed with the decor and how…read moreelaborate and sophisticated the appearance was and the space was enormous. I was granted access prior, to my event and afterwards for clean up and breakdown. Bathrooms were with stalls and a separate one, if needed. Complete with kitchen capabilities with stove, sink, fridge and microwave. Also included amenities were, microphone, podium, stage, and sound system with surround sound. This location can be used for any event and the owner was more than accommodating and willing to listen to my needs and assist! Only note I can pass is, pay close attention to the address, that block has several "5701". There's an A, B and C and located on main sidewalk. The first door of the building (A), then a tobacco store (B) and then another unit in the parking lot (C).

I said ok I've sat here almost 30 minutes and if I hadn't reached out to you when were you going to communicate that to me. Mind you she never called me I kept calling her. Long story short I just ended up leaving of which I told her I was going to leave after waiting almost 45 mins of which she still didn't show up within the time frame she indicated. What a lack of communication and customer service.

Last night my company had our annual Christmas dinner here. The ballroom was large enough to hold…read moreover 300 adults and children. We were all seated very comfortably and the wait staff stayed on top of table top clearing. The food here was really good, we did more of a second Thanksgiving. We are a Korean and American work family so we often have to meet in between to keep everyone happy. The children ran around with balloon pets and enjoyed getting their faces painted while chowing more on Korean snacks than real food. The adults mingled and enjoyed the open bar. As the evening came to a close I thought I would treat myself to a juicy mandarin. As I stand in the lobby tossing it from one hand to the other, my boss's little daughter walked up to me with full arm extended and fingers stretched, in the most cutest gesture, signaling that she wanted it.... How could I resist, no mandarin for me.

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.

Attempting to book an event with the Treetop Atrium was a complete disappointment. I contacted the…read morenumber listed online several times during late 2018 to no avail. My mother received a recommendation about the Treetop Atrium and I was very excited to host my baby shower there. She also attempted to reach the coordinators at the venue and received a call back just this April. That should have been alarming enough, but I still set an appointment to view the space. Shirley, the event manager, met me on an afternoon in April and showed me around the venue. Again, I was excited about the possibility of booking the space after our meeting. She even offered to honor the Winter special price of $2500 instead of the $3900 the space is renting for at this time. Shirley gave me her personal number and assured me I could communicate with her that way. When I mentioned I tried to reach her using the posted office number she told me I probably didn't answer the phone call when they returned it like most people do when they don't recognize a number, including her. I could not relate to that statement, but I let it ride to avoid ruffling feathers. It was clear to me at that point she was not willing to take responsibility for the poor communication and responses of the venue. Nonetheless, I let that go and thought moving forward could work in my favor. I left the venue and consulted with my family and friends and we decided booking the space would be best. Ms. Shirley confirmed an appointment with me April 18 at 1 pm to secure the space with a deposit and my mother agreed to meet her by text. In this text correspondence, I asked Shirley if my friends who would personalize the space could come at a later date to see the venue and she told me everyone had to be present April 18 at 1 pm. I further asked her to accommodate me and I was totally ignored. Shirley did not show up for the April 18 meeting with my mother although she confirmed this was the only time we could meet with her. My mother waited at the venue for an hour and a half, left Shirley a message and text her personal phone number provided. I also text Shirley to let her know my mother was waiting. She ghosted me completely. I was in shock that she did not show up for this meeting or reply to our correspondence. Needless to say she still has not returned my call to this day. I spoke to her assistant Frankie who told me Shirley had an emergency during our meeting and would call me in the following week. That never happened. It is very disheartening that this venue, but specifically Shirley, operates with such a lack of professionalism. If my request to view the space after booking it was too ridiculous for Shirley, she could have stated that she didn't want to continue the deal instead of intentionally ignoring my calls and texts. If Shirley did not want to honor the lower rate, she could have stated that as well. This is not the way to do business and I would suggest saving yourself the headache and book with a more professional venue. I am very disappointed in the way this business deal was handled, but I feel much more comfortable knowing I dodged a bullet in working with Shirley. Imagine if she arbitrarily started to ignore me after I was financially involved? Beware of business deals with the Treetop Atrium. Prince George's County deserves a more professional venue than what they are able to offer consistently.

Receptionist - one who attempts to provide service to customers seeking out information. Typically…read morehas a friendly and helpful disposition. This is my understanding, broadly, of a receptionist or administrative assistant's duties and responsibilities if they frequently interface with the public, (though I know they have infinitely more tasks to accomplish than just greeting guests). This has never been my experience at Oakland Mills Interfaith Center - The Meeting House. I have interacted with the young lady sitting at the desk no less than 6 times, maybe as many as 10 in the past 4 years or so and her disposition 99.98% of the time has been really nasty. I do my best to be sympathetic, understanding or give people the benefit of the doubt, if I meet them for the first time and they seem grumpy, but if I speak with you upwards of 6 times over 4 years, different seasons, rain or shine and you are always pissed, perhaps you've sought out a career in the wrong lane. The attitude some businesses have toward customer service, perhaps, has evolved over the years, but I would still think there is modicum of courtesy that is expected of staff when they meet people who potentially may be interested in doing business with their establishment. I don't know what the protocol is when you see the receptionist, but, typically, I don't like to just interrupt them and tell them what I want, or why I'm there because they're usually typing something that I'm assuming they need a reasonable degree of focus on, and I don't want to break their concentration. I could tell this receptionist was pissed, per her usual, so I just started talking as soon as I got to the desk. The space I was interested in was not available for the date I wanted which was no problem. I asked if I could look at one of the other rooms I could see from her desk. (I wasn't sure if it was being used). She said "Yes". When I walked over, I saw a room to the left of that room, which I couldn't see when I asked to see the first room, so I invited myself to look at that room to (there was no one in it). When I turned back around the corner, the receptionist shot me a look that could cut through a thousand tons of Philadelphia street on the coldest of December nights. She was in the middle of eating her lunch, and stopped, mid-chew, to try and stare me down as if I was trying to usurp her authority. I ignored the vibe and just asked if the 2 rooms were available to which she immediately retorted "I said no"....First of all, she didn't. Second of all, she needs to park all that attitude at the curb before she enters her place of business. I understand being a receptionist may not always be the greatest position because you have to deal with whatever walks through your door, but if you can't be friendly, at least be professional. I understand that the objective of this house of worship is, by no means, solely to make money, but I would think, even a billionaire wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth if it took little to no effort to get it. Anywho, there is another lovely place where, if you're looking to hold a smaller event, that could probably accommodate your needs. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Church is also located in Howard County. As I recall, they do rent by the hour and I don't think it's more than $70/h. Seeing as I'm looking for a new venue to hold my event, I thought others may be to. I tried to include pictures of this venue below.
