Beautiful venue, awesome staff! - An Eventective User from Gambrills, MD

Walden Country Club was the perfect venue for my event! Ilene was amazing and helped me bring my vision to life. Donna, the awesome bartender, created a beautiful and tasty signature drink. My guests and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I can’t wait to host another event here.

Beautiful Event Venue - An Eventective User

My spouse and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary on Saturday, November 18th. Eventective suggested Walden Country Club in Crofton, MD. We selected Walden Country Club because of its ideal setting, convenient location, capacity for our 55 guests, and its event coordinator, Ilene. She collaborated with us from the beginning to end to craft an experience that our guests and we will never forget. Everyone commented on how amazing Walden Country Club was, and how elegant our celebration room looked. Ilene was kind and dedicated to making sure our event went off without a hitch. She displayed professionalism throughout the entire planning process. The experience was beyond our expectations. The bar catered to guests’ requests, the food and the appetizer table and buffet tables were consistently replenished with delicious food, and the staff provided excellent service. Our servers were very professional and courteous throughout the entire event. Empty plates and glasses were promptly removed from the tables. We would definitely reserve Walden Country Club for future events! Frank and Linda Smith

Everything was perfect! - An Eventective User from Crofton, MD

Ilene Murphy Event Manager at Walden Country Club was wonderful to work with! She accomodated my every wish and was very calm and professional! The venue is really pretty and open with lots of windows and expanded space into the bar. Ilene was clearly very experienced and knew how to set up the room to mazimize space. Food was excellent! We had carved prime rib, great appies- everyone raved about the shrimp! The wait staff and bar staff were also just really nice and very helpful. Ilene recommended a DG- Angie D Entertainment and they were excellent also. We would highly recommend Walden CC for your event!!

Great place for a wedding and reception! - An Eventective User from Crofton, MD

Walden Country Club is a wonderful place to have your wedding and reception! Ilene is so easy to work with, and helps you plan your big day! The place was decorated beautifully, and we got some amazing pictures. The food was absolutely delicious, as one guest put it, "the roast beef was better than the weather!" And it was a beautiful sunny day, 76 degrees in November! I have had 3 events here at Walden. Every time the food was delicious, the price was reasonable, and we all had a great time! I highly recommend Walden Country Club for your next event!

Wedding Ceremony and Reception - An Eventective User from Crofton, MD

Ilene and team were amazing! We had very short time preparing for the event, but Ilene made sure everything was on point, ready to go, also provided us with all the amazing recommendations including DJ, photographer and the hair salon! Every single request has been accommodated and, most importantly, the day was magical. The set up looked gorgeous and the guests didn’t even want to leave! That’s the greatest compliment! We really appreciate for making our dream wedding come true! We definitely recommend this place and this team! Will definitely be using them in future for other events! Thanks Ilene and team!

Pleased as punch - An Eventective User from Shrewsbury, PA

We welcome this opportunity to thank Ilene Murphy, her staff and the Walden Country Club for their cooperative efforts in making our 50th anniversary party a successful and fun-filled event. Ilene, in particular, was exceptionally professional and personable in helping us thru what could have been a taxing and arduous process but wasn't because of her spot-on assistance with pre-planning, decorations, food, music, decorations and costs. Rest assured that should anyone in our tribe be in need of a location to hold a social event, we will not hesitate a second to recommend Ilene and the Walden Country Club. Molly & Joe Matukonis

Absolutely fantastic! - An Eventective User from Crofton, Maryland

I hosted a baby shower for my daughter and son-in-law at Walden Country Club this past weekend. Their newly renovated event room is absolutely breathtaking. Working with Ilene and her crew was a delightful experience. The entire crew went above and beyond to ensure the event was special. From specially created “boat napkins” to “whale shaped pancakes”, these little special surprises were unexpected but those little touches stood out showed how much they love what they do and how they care about making their customers satisfied. I can’t wait to hold my next event at Walden Country Club.

A wonderful place for a bridal shower... - An Eventective User

We had a bridal shower at the newly renovated ballroom. Ilene was wonderful as the banquet and marketing manager and helped me choose the perfect brunch menus. The server Lauren was delightful and the guests commented on how pleasant she was. The bartender was helpful and efficient. The food was delicious and we received so many compliments. Coming through COVID, we were not sure how we could work this out. They were so helpful and everything fell into place. It was a wonderful day and my daughter was very happy. I would highly recommend Ilene and her team at Walden Country Club for an event. They took most of the worry and concerns off my plate....E Christian

Perfect Wedding/Anniversary venue - An Eventective User from Hyattsville Md.

Our 20th anniversary and recommitment ceremony was held at the Walden Country Club. This beautiful, classic, and vintage décor was stunning . Ilene and her crew decorated with all the colors I requested. The crew were attentive, professional and friendly. My husband and I didn't have to do anything but show up. The hall seated 60 guests and a band of 6. Our dinner were plated; we had 3 fun waiter/waitress. We also had a signature drink that we named "Amazing Love" . We had no complaints from our guests. The food was plenty and pleasing. I would recommend the Walden Country Club to any bride that don't want to worry about anything but just the dress.

Great experience/Great team! - An Eventective User from Maryland

Ilene, Melissa, Alice and the other team members helped create a memorable and enjoyable Sports Themed 50th birthday celebration for my husband.

Ilene and her team were very accommodating. We had a great time!

Whatever kind of event you are having this is the place to have it! The staff and customer service far exceeded my expectations.

Happy Customer - An Eventective User from Crofton, MD

Thank you for hosting our daughter's high school graduation party at Walden. It was such a pleasure to work with you in coordinating this special occasion. The menu and special drink you created to go with our ‘California’ themed event was simply delicious. The buffet set-up on the veranda overlooking the golf course was just beautiful. It was a gorgeous evening and we couldn’t have been happier with the event!
