I live in Silver Spring, MD but grew up in Howard County so if you'd
be willing to head to Howard County as an option I can make some
additional suggestions, Howard County is actually closer to Silver
Spring timewise than a lot of other places within Montgomery County.
Many of the locations are right off of Route 32 (easily accessible by
I-95 or Rt. 29)

I'd suggest:

*Blair Mansion Inn 7711 Eastern Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20902 (301)
588-6646

*Nixon's Farm, West Friendship, MD (www.nixonsfarm.com). I recently
had our class reunion there and it went very well despite a raging
Thunderstorm and quick move from the outdoor Pavilion and interior
ball room

*Ten Oaks Ballroom & Conference Center, Clarksville, MD (The
Clarksville fire department hosted so many weddings in their hall,
they built a fancy ballroom complete with crystal chandaliers but less
expensive than other ball rooms in
5000 Signal Bell Lane. Clarksville, MD 21029. Tel: 410-313-7300

*Waverly Mansion 410-313-5400, 2335 Marriottsville Road,
Marriottsville,
MD 21104 http://www.classiccatering.com/cgi-bin/venue.pl?venue=Waverly+Mansion

*The Castle at Maryvale 11300 Falls Road, Brooklandville MD 21022
http://www.maryvale-castle.com/ (it is defintely a bit far from Silver
Spring, but an awsome reception site anyway... wish I could afford
it!)

There are also several Maryland vinyards that may be able to host your
receptions... Boordy and Basignoni come immediately to mind.

Also check Theknot.com, they had a pretty large selection of reception
venues for the area.

Have fun!
