In response to Mallory who seems to be looking down her nose from Ashburn like a spoiled child, I will respectfully disagree in whole. Her laughable eyes wide shut to anything that is not Ashburn aside, Trump national is an excellent place for a reception. I can understand that she was not pleased to be there during construction, but a more mature approach would recognize this and simply not review her visit as it was a single moment in time, and, um, the owner was upgrading the facility. Perhaps this is more a Bridezilla biting her affectionate mother. Regardless, here is some truth.
The Trump National facility is an excellent facility. It is nested in a very nice upscale community called Lowes Island. The staff at the facility is very easy to work with and the views from the banquet area is stunning, especially as the sun drifts from the summer sky.
Now how do I know this? Well, I had my reception at Trump National. The staff did exactly what we asked, and were even kind enough to prepare a 'to go' box as you never get to eat at your own event. The service was top notch. I understand that the early guests witnessed a problem with the cake, as there was a power outage at the bakery, and the team at Trump National aided the baker in finishing the details and setting up the presentation so it was perfect when we entered.
The coordinator, having plenty of experience, guided some small touches that made the experience very special.
In working with the chef, we created a menu of fresh food that, pardon the pun, trumps more dried chicken and gravy coated beef. We built a experience that allowed our guests to choose from the abundant offerings which came continuously from the kitchen.
I can only recommend this venue. Certainly it has to be something that pleases you/your spouse/you occasion, but that is choice. I found the offered review way off base, and potentially even baseless as the opinion was built around nothing at all and certainly not an experience.
(Any chance she was at the public course in Sterling Park?)
