“Absolutely fantastic DC Watch show hosted by none other than the Mr. Time Bum! And it’s completely FREE to the public!
What an event, soo many watch companies (many of whom are stellar micro-brands), the place was packed with enthusiasts!
We only went on March 8th but it’s a two day event.
So many brands to discover, and so many opportunities to buy fantastic watches at a large discounts. But most important of all, you get to try watches that are usually only available online.
Great atmosphere overall, wasn’t too crowded to the point where you couldn’t move. You actually get to talk in person to brand owners and their reps. And they even have daily giveaways!”
“Private club that allows open table reservations ... We had great service, mussels appetizer was super. We split a salad and the steak frites - they split in the kitchen and presented separately - nice touch! Food was great ...”

“We had an exceptional wedding at the Mess Hall this summer and cannot recommend it highly enough. From the very beginning, Al, Jordan, and the entire team were thoughtful, organized, and truly invested in making our vision come to life. Their preparation and planning were outstanding; from seamlessly connecting us with excellent vendors and caterers to offering creative, practical ideas for how to best use the space. Communication was always prompt, clear, and reassuring.
On the wedding day itself, everything ran flawlessly. The venue’s industrial character paired beautifully with modern conveniences, and the flexibility of the space made the night unforgettable. We held our ceremony and dancing outside in the dock space, while the interior provided a comfortable, stylish space for dinner and for guests who wanted a break from the dance floor. The flow of the evening felt effortless. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience and would choose the Mess Hall—and its incredible team—again without hesitation.”
“We had our wedding at Fathom Gallery on 14th Street a couple days ago and it was absolutely amazing! The space is gorgeous. It has such a cool vibe and made for the most beautiful setting. Emily, Meg, and Olivia are seriously the best. They were so easy to work with, super organized, and just genuinely great people. It honestly made it a no-brainer to choose Fathom! They also connected us with the best vendors, which made the whole planning process so easy and stress-free. Couldn’t recommend this venue and team more!”
“Beautiful venue, wonderful staff! Alan, Lindsey and his team went above and beyond to ensure our event was impeccable. Thank you so much for helping us to make memories that last a lifetime!”
“We had our winter wedding Reception at Cherry Hill Ballroom December 13th, 2003. (22 years ago) It was a good experience. I will never forget. Since it was Holiday season they had a huge beautiful Christmas tree well decorated and a fireplace. It was so cosy and all the guest were happy and comfortable.”
“Creative Saints Loft is a phenomenal space, and the owner is amazing as well. I cohosted a vision board workshop in the space and it was the perfect venue. The lighting, decor, seating options, and versatile space are all things I loved. The booking process was smooth. Entry, setup, and breakdown was smooth. I would absolutely book the space again and highly recommend!”

“Great place to work if you don’t have to be in the office, meet friends or mingle with members of the 4th estate. The second level is reserved for members only and their guests, so if you’re not a member, find a friend who is.”
“WONDERFUL. For a nice, self guided tour of US Navy History, this is the place. Clean and comfortable, you'll enjoy getting out of the heat or cold. The first shop offers all US Military branch souvenirs. I love coming here on every trip to DC.”
“My experience was excellent. Professional service all around. They offer cleaning service if you do not feel like cleaning at the end of your event. BEST PRICES BETTER SERVICE….”
“Was there for a party. Beautiful and spacious. Space for reception, large room for speakers, that converted to dance floor with DJ and beautiful outdoor balcony. Additional rooms on first floor. Wonderful for large parties/event in gorgeous historic building.”
“Beautiful spot. We live downtown and go to their location on 17th St but headed across the river for an event and decided to stop here. Awesome wine list and tasty snacks.”
“This venue was perfect for my mini retreat. It was very colorful and conveniently located in the Hyattsville arts district. The numerous screens were perfect for my presentation. Nelson was a perfect host! I will be booking future events here ?”
“I am an S.A.L. commander from Blaine, Washington.
I was there on a Wednesday blues night for the very 1st time. The blues music was so good I was dancing qith the ladies while waiting in line for some of that delicious fried food! Great bands and great people who welcomed me with open arms. I can't wait to be back again when visiting family here in town!”
“I attended an anniversary party there not long ago. They were celebrating one year of being in business. It's a great place to rent for any number of events. However, parking is not great because it's located downtown DC.”
“Great space, visited twice for the annual Whiskey Washback event. An upstairs mezzanine with tasting rooms, a lower ballroom with good ambiance. Easy accessible via the metro and several nearby garages offering discounted evening parking rates.”
“We used the space to host a 2 day training and we loved it! Participants shared that it was their favorite training space we have utilized. Maria was welcoming and supportive in making sure the space was comfortable, our technology worked and that our coffee station was running throughout the day. The service along with the beautiful space has us wanting to come back again!”
“This is my favorite location in the Martin’s Chain. The pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, professional staff and service. The food is delicious and well prepared. The decor and spacious seating is impeccable. All of the other locations are great too. I’ve been to proms, weddings,crab feast , bull roast, and the American Italian Asso. Banquet over 40 years @ Martin’s locations through out Maryland. I love them so much, I work there on occasion through a temp agency. So my recommendation is twice as valid because I’ve been in the front and back of the events. The administration and management is the best.??”

“My team recently hosted our annual Breast Cancer fundraiser at Hollywood Ballroom, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional.
A special commendation must go to Eddie. His professionalism and attention to detail were the backbone of our event. He treated our cause with immense respect and was a true partner in the setup process. He anticipated needs we hadn't even considered and managed all the logistical complexities seamlessly, which allowed our team to focus on engaging with our guests and supporters.
Eddie also added several special personal touches that deeply resonated with our mission.”
“This venue is absolutely gorgeous!! It’s very elegant and very spacious. Even the bathrooms are worth a mini photoshoot . The kitchens are well stocked for your caterer and having an ice maker available in each is super convenient. The bridal suites are very elegant and a nice refugee when you need to get away as a host. They offer full service if you need it (ie: provide in- house catering and other services, can rent you the tablecloths, decor, etc) but also are flexible for a la carte items you may need or giving you the ability to bring in outside items like VIP furniture to make your event a success.
Everything including contract terms, rules, Do’s and Don’ts were clearly laid out, highlighted, and explained well during your site visit and within the documents and online portal they give you access to once you sign a contact. So there are no surprises if you read through everything . They even give you a list of preferred vendors which is helpful as these businesses are already familiar with everything . The owner Natasha, office coordinator Ishia, and all staff I communicated and dealt with were very professional, cordial, easy to work with , patient with any changes, and did all they could to help. Parking was not an issue at all and you are told to tell your guests to listen to the venue’s parking attendants and to advise your guests of the one area where not to park . So , we had no issues at all. I highly recommend and have referred several people to this venue!”
“We loved working at The Royal Ballroom. It’s incredibly clean, thoughtfully designed, and the chandeliers add such an elegant touch to every shot. The space feels both luxurious and welcoming, making it perfect for weddings and special events. Highly recommend!”
“Nice hotel with good sized rooms. Friendly staff, great cleaning service, and close to lots of amenities. A/C was a bit low but it was the hottest week in DC and it was working hard. Definitely a nice spot if you’re looking for a location close to things to do.”

“You expect quality service when at an upscale or luxury hotel like the Grand Hyatt. Perfect print top the bottom everyone at this hotel provides service like it’s supposed to be. They are engaged and friendly. They make eye contact and acknowledge you when you walk by. They ask how things are going.
Kudos to management for instilling a service culture of excellence at this property and for hiring the wonderful people, which is not easy to do.”
“What a beautiful venue. Warm and inviting. Management is very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely rent this venue again. I can’t forget Sarah. A hard working lady. Thank you.”
