I was dead set against a hotel or country club wedding because I wanted something different and totally me. I struggled to find something I loved. I had originally put a deposit down at another venue, but was uneasy about it. I decided to look a few hotels and noticed that the Ritz Carlton had added wedding packages (when I had first looked they did everything a la carte and it was pricey). Everyone at the Ritz was amazing and great to work with. We loved all the coordinators who helped us every step of the way. We had a spectacular night!

The Ritz Carlton Cleveland gave my husband and I the most beautiful wedding day! We worked directly with Emily and every part of the planning process was organized and easy. All my worries and questions were answered quickly and professionally. The food was outstanding and the room looked better than I could have imagined. The lighting helped transform the space. We had the perfect day! Thank you for everything!

The Rtiz Carlton was the perfect place to have our wedding. If you are looking at 250+ guests check out the Silver Grille as it is a fun and unique room to host your wedding. The staff there is great. Emily was our wedding coordinator and she was fun and on top of everything! She kept everything running smoothly and made my day stress free... David Rabinsky was great and worked with us so well on making all of the elements we wanted to include come together perfectly. He was flexible and attentive. If you want perfection for your wedding then have it at the Ritz Carlton in Cleveland and you will not be sorry.. Their attention to detail is unmatched..Thanks to you all at the RC for making our wedding such a memorable event!

Getting married at the Ritz-Carlton was one of the singular best choices that we made in our wedding planning. My husband and I visited and contacted countless wedding venues, from Severance, to the Botanical Gardens, to other hotels, to the Club at Hillbrook, and none compared to the Ritz-Carlton in the combination of elegant appearance, luxurious service, and downtown glamour. The convenience of having a hotel wedding cannot be understated, but the fact that the Ritz-Carlton is tucked away grants it an exclusivity and a uniqueness that completely differentiates it from other hotels. From our initial visit to our tasting, and other planning meetings in between, we were treated like royalty. This treatment continued for our guests and wowed everyone who attended. The hotel is completely renovated as of late 2016, and the ballroom is impeccably decorated - the furniture (especially in the pre-function space) looks like furniture that you might pay to rent for a party. The food is exquisite not only in taste but in decoration. The white-gloved butlers who assist guests throughout the night make an incredible impression, and the hotel is simply gorgeous. The hotel is just the most incredible package when it comes to hosting a wedding. In addition to this, the brunch the morning after in the Riverview Room was incredible - not only is the spread wonderful, but the room set up looks more beautiful than I could have imagined! The staff moved all of our floral arrangements into the room so that we could enjoy them again, and they brought all desserts from the evening prior and to-go bags for guests so that nothing went to waste. Everything is presented with complete grace and beauty - I cannot stress enough what a wonder it was to have my wedding at the Ritz!! Working with Janna Woo, the wedding coordinator at the Ritz, is seamless, and she is incredibly kind and helpful in making sure that every element of the wedding goes smoothly and just how the bride imagines.

Exceptional!

We held a smaller wedding of 86 people in the Radiant Room/ Highball Room for cocktail lounge at the Ritz. We were so incredibly impressed. They made us feel like Kings and Queens the entire weekend. We worked with Emilia as our event coordinator and she was always available to help calm our nerves and to answer my questions. I highly recommend going with the Ritz. They know what they are doing and we experienced very minimal stress with their assistance. I can't recommend enough!

You get what you pay for. We were amazed at everything the Ritz-Carlton did to make our wedding a success. Emily, our assigned coordinator was a true professional. She took the reigns and made sure everything went smoothly, right down to cueing the pianist during our ceremony and coordinating the reception with the DJ. I was able to sit back and enjoy my wedding day without having to stress the details. The hotel staff treated us, and all of our guests like family. You may pay slightly more, but the extras they include for you really make up for it. Other places we looked at nickel and dime you, so at the end of the day, you're paying just as much but without the class and elegance the Ritz can provide. I would definitely recommend holding any event at the Ritz-Carlton.

Our ceremony was in the Riverview Room and reception in the Ballroom, and it was all flawless and very well executed. During the planning, Casie and her staff were so organized and endlessly accomodating. They were all incredibly experienced and made sure no detail was overlooked. Everything was truly superb!

The Ritz treated us like royalty from our rehearsal to our day-after brunch. We could not have chosen a better wedding venue. We wanted to show our guests (most of them from the East Coast) that you could have a classy wedding in Cleveland. The food was fantastic and the presentation, equally so. All of our guests raved about the personalized attention they received from the Ritz staff. The location was also very convenient for out of town guests. The attention to detail shown by our event planner obviated the need for a separate wedding planner. It was certainly not cheap, but the peace of mind we had knowing every detail would be perfectly executed was well worth the price!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
