Smoothest wedding planning experience ever!

My wedding at the Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City was a dream come true. I could not have envisioned a smoother wedding planning experience and a more perfect venue for our summer wedding.

The ladies and gentlemen at the Ritz, specifically Katie Fabian, and Linor Shemesh, were always accommodating to changes and bringing my vision to life. They were always welcoming and kind to us while we were visiting to go over details, and were especially sweet to all our guests.

The space was recently renovated to include light blues, whites and tranquil earth tones. It was perfect for a summer wedding. The ambassador room was great for the cocktail hour, and the diplomat room was just the right size for 75 guests, a large dance floor, all the vendors, and the buffet.

My husband and I also stayed the night in the hotel. What a great surprise to arrive into the room with a wonderful letter from the Ritz team and a chilled bottle of Prosecco! They also put some rose petals in the bath for us, which was a very romantic touch.

Prime location means you guests are also close to highways and can easily get in and out of DC and Alexandria if they want to see the tourist sites!

I 100% recommend the Ritz in pentagon city to anyone who is looking for a great summer wedding venue in the DMV area!

We used the Ritz Carlton for part of our wedding weekend and were blown away by the staff. Zaidee Sarip Macmod, Director of Meetings and Special Events, helped us coordinate our events and was very thoughtful. The hotel arranged for a special rate for our guests, and people loved how close the location was to the mall and the Metro. The staff were so friendly and helped us with many special requests. The chef did an amazing job creating a custom dinner menu for our reception, and our guests raved about how good the food was. It was such a pleasure to stay at the hotel and have part of our wedding there.

Say whatever you want to say about Ritz Carlton. They have the image of being "snobby" and "high class" but they are far beyond that. The price that you pay, Ritz Carlton will deliver 100% and more. Throughout the planning process, Kristin Grady was always there every step of the way to help out. Within a week of the wedding there were a few items that was forgotten to ordered and Kristin was able to find the vendor for the items. The food - every single one of my guests enjoyed the menu selection and of course, the drinks selection. The staff was very responsive. The hotel staff was very accommodating.
