Pandemic Wedding

I cannot even begin to express my feelings towards the Ritz Charles and their incredible staff. From the beginning, Maddie was absolutely fantastic - promptly responding to all of our questions. We looked at multiple venues but after meeting with Maddie and touring the venue, we decided to book the Ritz that same day.

When the pandemic hit I was absolutely devastated - we were not sure what the future would hold. The owner, Bill, quickly calmed all of our fears and went above and beyond to reassure us that we would be taken care of regardless of how things would play out. I was feeling extremely bummed out and Bill offered us a safe & socially distanced tour of the renovations to the venue - WOWZA. The venue I booked an entire year prior had gone from beautiful to absolutely STUNNING. I was finally able to get excited again despite the thought that our wedding may get postponed. After I saw the renovations, I decided we were going to get married at The Ritz whether it was on our date or at a later date, NO MATTER WHAT! It's breathtakingly beautiful.

Our date rolled around and once again, Maddie went above and beyond to work with us and make us feel comfortable - despite all the uncertainty.

On 6/13, we got married in the chapel - our ceremony attendants, Brittany and Taylor were AMAZING (during both the rehearsal and the ceremony) and then followed our reception in the ballroom. It was the most perfect day EVER (how many people can say they had a perfect wedding during a pandemic?!).

The staff was extremely professional - you would think they had been prepared/training for this pandemic for years. Every single staff member (waiters, bartenders, attendants, etc..) was spectacular. The food was UNBELIEVABLE - all of our guests raved about how incredible the food was and the cake!!!! Don't even get me started on the cake - WOW. YUM!

I cannot recommend the Ritz Charles enough. Bill, the owner, is a wonderful person who never once made us feel like just another customer, but like we were family who he genuinely cared about. Maddie, our wedding coordinator, is absolutely outstanding and I literally cannot say enough great things about her and her professionalism. I had read so many articles about people in our same situation having horrible experiences with their venues and I am so grateful to say I am not one of them. We had THE GREATEST experience from start to finish. 10/10, 5 STARS - Thank you Ritz Charles! We love you all!

Best venue for our perfect day

If you are looking for the best venue for your wedding in northern Indy, the Ritz is it!!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the entire Ritz staff that helped make our day so amazing. Everyone says to expect things to go wrong on your day, and truly not a single thing did. Our day was absolutely perfect.

The entire team was incredible to work with from the start. I have zero complaints and only praises for the entire process from the tour through the reception. Emily was great during the planning process and was so easy to work with and so responsive. She made the entire planning process of the reception flawless.

Major kudos and thanks to the team who helped with set up and the day of. Vincent, head of operations was fantastic in helping us get the dance floor enlarged (which we were so glad we did because it was full all night!). Our day of team was incredible. Erika was fantastic and helped the evening run smoothly even when we moved up events because we were ahead of schedule. Even down to the coat check lady, Barb. She was so great.

The food was a HIT! People are still talking about how amazing the food was. Highly recommend to couples not knowing what to include to do the selections we did because every single item was a hit. I am dreaming about the duck empanada app, beef short rip and the potato thyme crisp My only regret is not eating more!

You will not regret having your reception here! I hope to attend many more events here in the future!
