Amazing Experience!

We had the pleasure of working with Putting on the Ritz for our wedding, and they were absolutely amazing! From start to finish, their communication was outstanding. Not only did they answer all of our questions with great detail, but they also coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure everything came together without a hitch. The tasting experience was fantastic, and they really took our feedback and preferences to heart. During our final meeting, they helped us review all the details and even assisted with planning a preliminary timeline for the day, making sure every detail was covered.

The team at Putting on the Ritz truly made our wedding day special. We wanted something a bit different, so we worked with them to create a Mediterranean-themed buffet that was a hit with our guests. They helped bring our vision to life, offering an amazing make-your-own gyro station, which was a big crowd-pleaser. We also created three specialty cocktails, and they executed them flawlessly—our guests couldn’t stop raving about the drinks! Many said it was the best bar service they’d ever experienced at a wedding.

The food itself was incredible. We had guests with various dietary restrictions, and Putting on the Ritz made sure to accommodate everyone. The highlight for us was the Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves)—they were absolutely divine! Every dish tasted fantastic, and the team’s attention to detail made everything run smoothly.

Overall, working with Putting on the Ritz was an absolute pleasure. They listened to our vision, helped answer every question, and made sure everything was set up perfectly for the big day. We’re so grateful to the entire team for helping bring our dream wedding to life, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding food and service!

Made sure my day was everything I imagined, and more

I had my wedding on 12/7/24 at the Baltimore Museum of Art and had to choose from a pre-determined list of caterers. I'm so glad I went with POTR, they were very responsive throughout the entire process, answered all of my questions, and gave honest feedback when it came time for decor/decision making. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get married in the future, they are also a great cost for the services they provide.

Pretty Solid Caterer

The food was great and they made the day of run very smoothly. Sometimes the response time was pretty slow and kind of difficult to communicate via email though.

Putting on the Ritz is a fabulous caterer as I've worked with them at many venues here in the MD, VA, DC area. Their staff is always courteous and the food and display of their offerings are excellent. Personally, I hired them for our daughter's wedding and am so happy with that decision. I can easily recommend Putting on the Ritz Catering for my clients.
