Architecturally stunning, these rooms will create a romantic and retro ambiance as you make timeless memories with your loved ones.

Facilities and Capacity

One of the most beautiful function rooms at The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown is the Fahrenheit Ballroom.

It also has naturally striking décor that will take your breath away. If you prefer something more intimate, you can head to The Chimney Stack dining room. This small space can seat 12 and sits below the iconic red brick smokestack, the hotel's piece de resistance, which towers a staggering 130 feet into the air. In The Chimney Stack, with its beautiful glass ceiling, you will enjoy the views of the chimney and the night sky. For a lush outdoor setting, The Yard is also available. Located on the east side of the hotel, The Yard is a three-tiered garden with manicured greenery and bistro lighting that looks out over Georgetown. Finally, The Brickyard Room & Courtyard offers a spacious area with three distinct function rooms for you to host your wedding.

Perfection

We cannot possibly put into words how amazing our experience was, planning and hosting our 2/26/22 wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown. The entire planning process, from the day we took our venue tour from the rehearsal the night before, went perfectly smoothly. The wedding weekend was a dream. We were able to check in early had a kind note and special welcome gifts in our suite to welcome us, as did all our guests. The entire staff was kind and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed - from delivering extra waters, steamers, ice - you name it, within a few minutes. The wedding day itself went off without a hitch, and I mean that. The Fahrenheit ballroom was breathtakingly gorgeous. All of the food and drinks were delicious (including our signature cocktail which we picked based on the hotel's recommendation). At the end of the night, guests had Georgetown cupcakes from the hotel waiting in their rooms - these little touches put the cherry on top of what was already as close to perfect wedding weekend as we could have imagined. The entire staff played a role in making this happen, but we want to give a special shoutout to Director of Catering Liliana Klein, who is nothing short of incredible. We cannot imagine a better venue or better wedding experience!

Simply the best

I had my wedding at the Ritz on 9.25.21, and opted for an indoor/outdoor event because of covid-19, and to showcase the Ritz's many beautiful spaces - including the urban garden. Lilliana and her team went above and beyond to ensure our event was everything we'd hoped for, that our guests were comfortable, and that our team was taken care of. The setting was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff were impeccable. Cannot say enough good things about this venue and the people we dealt with there. Highly recommend.

The Ritz Carlton Georgetown ruined by wedding ceremony and then did not accept responsibility for the wedding coordinator in any way. The wedding coordinator, who was a first time inexperienced person, asked my immediate family to wait in the bar area and then told me they were in the ceremony waiting for me to walk down the isle. I didn't realize until I was saying my vows and turned to hand my flowers and noticed the first 2 rows were empty. My family had flown in from across the country to see me get married. Even worse the Ritz Carlton was rude and unaccommodating when we asked for them to make the situation right. This was just one of the multitude of mistakes that took place that evening. I would urge any bride thinking of using this venue to look elsewhere.
They bait and switch and do not deliver what they promise. The tasting and actual event were so different and your just a number so they don't care once they have your money.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
