    Amazing Venue!

    My wedding was a couple weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier. Everything was great, the food, drinks and the staff - star of the show. My wedding coordinator Ronnie, the sweetest person! I’m so grateful for all of you at the Villa. Thank you so much!

    I am so happy I chose this vendor

    The Villa was amazing!!! I was blown away by the price and the quality they provided for my wedding day. It was a dream! I got married in the tent at night time with candles on the tables. It was magical. With it being all inclusive, I didn’t need to worry about table numbers, linens, cake, catering, etc. My wedding fell right around the peak of omicron (December 2021) in Maryland and The Villa worked with me so well to ensure a safe wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend.

    Amazing Venue

    I was looking for an all inclusive venue that we could afford and I am so happy we chose The Villa. I like to keep things very simple but elegant. So the Renaissance Suite was the perfect venue. They also have a ballroom if you’re looking for something a little more glamorous. The planning process was so easy from the beginning of signing our contract to our wedding day. We had originally set a date for Sept 2020 but unfortunately had to postpone due to the pandemic. I was afraid of having to spend extra money on doing so but they were very understanding. Maddy was so helpful in helping us set our new date to May 2021. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not easy at all and she made the process so much easier. We met our day of coordinator Ya-Maila just a few days before our wedding and I felt like I knew her for years! She was so warm and welcoming. The day of our wedding was perfect! There was a little mix up with the table numbers so my parents sat a little further from us but it was okay! The food was so good we received many compliments from our family and friends. The staff was also very attentive, sweet and complimentary. We enjoyed our wedding so much and I am so thankful we choose this venue and got to meet great people along the way!

    We Loved it! Everyone was amazing!

    I have to thank Jeff, Shonda and Veronica! They all helped me so much with my busy schedule to stay on top of the planning, the day of the event they took care of everything, and u was able to enjoy the event as a guest and it was allll soo extremely worth it! The food was great, communication was great, set up was just as I envisioned, my daughter loved the it as it was for her Quince. It was planned between her and I, and catering by uptown put it all together for us. Of course we used vendors for the extra items we wanted to have set up, and they helped with all the vendors! Absolutely LOVED it!

    Excellent Venue

    I just had my wedding at The Villa this past weekend and it was nothing short of an amazing experience. Shonda and Veronica were wonderful to work with. The flow of my event went great, the food was great and they made my vision come to life! I have no complaints and they made my overall wedding experience a great one. They provide so much for the money spent. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    Geoffrey and Erika Stephens Wedding 11/29/2020

    Our experience with the Villa was phenomenal from start to finish. Shonda made sure that everything was perfect for my daughter and her husband and Veronica worked side by side with Shonda to bring my daughter’s vision alive. My family and friends are still talking about the our daughter’s wedding on 11/29/2020. Uptown Catering and the food that was served was everything. The cake and cocktail hour was superb.

    Everything was perfect!

    We had Veronica as our day of coordinator, and she was amazing. She made our day perfect! Everything was flawless. She and her team made sure myself and the groom were well taken care of all night. The food was amazing. We received nothing but compliments about the entire night (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception). The venue was flexible in allowing us to use the tent and ballroom. Going through the logistics the day before was also very helpful to making sure everything was on point and that our vision came to light. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Beautiful and close

    I feel in love with this venue right away! It was just so beautiful! It’s so perfect, it’s a little “hidden” but it was so close to where my ceremony was taking place I just could not resist. The attention to detail is wonderful. Everyone that works there is amazing, this was truly the best decision I made! They work with you every single step
    of the way to make sure everything runs perfectly!

    Our perfect day

    I cannot say enough good things about The Villa. This all-inclusive venue works with the catering company Catering by Uptown and provides a phenomenal staff and service. We chose the Villa because we wanted to have our ceremony and venue in the same building. Our ceremony was in the tent, while our reception was in the banquet hall. The food was EXCEPTIONAL. There were so many options to choose from. All of our guests enjoyed the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres and the dinner entrees. The cake was AMAZING! I always hear people say that wedding cakes are just pretty, but not as fun to eat. Well our cake was PHENOMENAL. It was moist, the icing was delicious (not too sweet), and fluffy. I am still eating it a week later and it is just as fresh as on our wedding night. I have to say that every dollar I spent was well worth it. We were able to customize EVERY aspect of our day. Our planning team was phenomenal. Haley answered many e-mail and was always there to guide me in a positive direction. Our day of coordinator, Veronica, was PHENOMENAL. I can honestly say our day was literally PERFECT. No hiccups, no difficulties, no problems, what so ever. A week after our wedding, my husband and I want to do it all again. I absolutely loved our experience with The Villa. I HIGHLY recommend.

    Amazingggggggggg

    Agh. Where do I start. I came across Planning by Uptown and originally had my heart set on a different location. While I toured it, we definitely liked it, we were recommended to view one of their other locations. The planner, Jill, on a last minute whim, was able to get us in to view the other one the very next day. And we were SOLD. Location was amazing for us and family and the all inclusiveness was the cherry on top. We were immediately assigned our planner and she was amazing and so sweet. (We had Lauren E.). Everything was straight forward and she made it super easy. Food is AMAZINGGGG & the cake !!! The entire venue takes such good care of you & the day of truly exceeded and solidified that we indeed made the best choice of venue. The littlest things made me beyond happy. We had mason jars with lights that we used for the ceremony. However, we didnt instruct Lauren on what to do with them for ceremony. Come reception and after our entrance, i saw she used them to decorate our sweetheart table and I was IN LOVE! Lauren, thank you for making it an amazing experience!

    Our wedding was September 29 and it was beautiful. We got married in the ballroom. At that time, there was another wedding in the tent area and honestly we couldn't tell. The staff was excellent. Our venue coordinator Katelyn was excellent. She was able to see my vision and made it come true. She's very responsive to our emails and made sure we were happy.

    I had my wedding at The Villa in Beltsville, MD on 9/8/2017 and it was absolutely AMAZING!!!! I don't have one complaint about my wedding experience because all of my vendors were fantastic. My wedding coordinator Shonda Cherry and day of coordinator Kathy Andrews were great! They were very warm and welcoming, which put some of most of my anxiety at ease. They were willing to do what was necessary to make my vision come to life. Her and her team exceeded my expectations beyond measure. The venue was nice and clean, and the everything i wanted from decor to lighting was spot on. The food presentation was awesome and it also taste wonderful. Especially the beef wellingtons and crab cakes :). The service from the staff was very professional from beginning to end. would definitely recommend this venue to anyone!!

    Our wedding was 11.11.16... The BEST night ever! This was the first and only venue we saw- I fell in love the second we walked in! From start to finish the process, planning - everything was PERFECT!!! If you are considering this place.... Do it! You will not regret one single thing! The food was amazing. We received so much amazing feedback after our wedding from all of our guests!!! Wish we could do the entire night again! I have to note our wedding coordinator Erinn Fleming was incredible!! - Mr. and Mrs. Randall

    The experience was fantastic

    My husband and I got married back in 2016. From the starting process of getting the venue secured for our date, to choosing the wide variety of food and choosing the flavor for our wedding cake, it was hassle-free. We appreciate the coordinator we had, she was very consistent and making sure everything went well. We are glad that we chose this venue!

    This place was fabulous! Everyone was so understanding and made sure I didn't have to worry about a thing on my big day! We chose to have our ceremony in the outdoor tent and the reception inside and both spaces were absolutely beautiful. Food was amazing as well. The Villas really made our special day memorable!

    We had our ceremony and reception at the villa and we loved it. Our coordinator was Sadie and she was fabulous, so helpful and quick to respond to any and all questions we had. The food is excellent, the venue is beautiful. We had our wedding in the grand ballroom, they were so flexible and let me decided where I wanted the ceremony the moment we got there, it was chilly so we went inside. It was gorgeous.

    The Villa was such a wonderful place to have our wedding and we really enjoyed working with them. My only tiny issue, my family is portuguese from the mainland and we saw they offered kale soup, we ordered it but the day of the wedding it was not the traditional, kale, green and potatoey soup we were expecting but more like a minestrone looking soup. It wasnt what we had expected and Im not sure what variation it was but it was still delicious so in the end, it was really very minor. All in all the villa and sadie and everyone else was so fantastic! We highly recommend them!
