Casey Sent on 01/22/2025Amazing 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,...Putting on the Ritz ,Catering's reply:
Thank you for the wonderful review. It was fun working with you both to plan the unique menu your guests seemed to enjoy and bring the vision for your special day to life. Best wishes to you and Luke. -Claudia -

Dan S. Sent on 01/01/2025Delicious, Creative Food
We are both vegetarian and wanted to have a vegetarian wedding that was exciting and delicious -- Putting on the Ritz delivered. They helped us develop a creative menu that included passed apps, stations, and a plated meal. They also provided the linens, desserts, and full bar, making it an easy one-stop-shop for our catering needs. We also felt that compared to many other caterers in the DMV, they had great value for the price.
The tasting was super helpful because we were able to make some modifications and finalize the linens in person (not to mention get us excited because everything was delicious). They had worked with our venue before, which made the entire experience seamless. We... -

Brianna Sent on 12/23/2024Great Option for A Catering Service
Putting on the Ritz catered our wedding and their food was so good! I worked with Mila and Mindy during the process and thoroughly enjoyed working with them! Guest enjoyed the food (especially the Hors d'oeuvres—those meatballs and cheese/bean quesadillas were gone so quickly lol) ! There was plenty to go around though. And the guests loved the assorted cupcakes (the cake was provided by someone else) and bartending services!
There were was internal changes with staffing over the time we hired them to the wedding day, but that did not create any issues. It seemed they had a smooth communication system and everything we agreed on during the tasting was exactly what we had at the wedding.... -

Katie Sent on 12/11/2024Great catering for the DMV area!
We had POTR cater our wedding and had rave reviews from our guests! They are a great value for the quality and quantity of food/drinks you receive.
We also rented furniture and linens from them as well as used their catering and bartender staff. We were very impressed with every part!
The food was all warm and tasted like they did at our tasting. Their appetizers, specifically, are amazing! We loved them and had a lot of guests mention that they loved them. Highly recommend their cream of crab soup shooters!!
They were flexible and easy to work with. They worked with us to curate the perfect menu and quote for our wedding. We loved them and would use them again!Putting on the Ritz ,Catering's reply:
Hi Katie,
Thank you for the review. It was a pleasure working with you both and we wish you much happiness in the future. -Claudia -

Caitlyn Sent on 11/16/2024Amazing Wedding Caterer 10/10!
We highly recommend Putting on the Ritz for any event, but specifically for weddings!! Mariah was super easy to work with throughout the whole process and made the planning seamless. It was so nice to have our caterer, linens, china, and day of coordinator all wrapped into one. The food was AMAZING, the staff were all so kind and hardworking, and the linens/china were gorgeous. They made it all look so easy! We will definitely use POTR for any future events and recommend them to all of our friends! -

Rachael Sent on 11/14/2024Absolute perfection!
We had such a wonderful experience with Putting on the Ritz! From the initial contact to the tasting to our wedding night, everything was amazing! Everyone we worked with was incredibly responsive and attentive and most importantly, the food was unbelievably good! Our guests raved about it all night and for several days after. And they had no problem accommodating vegetarian and vegan options which our guests also said were delicious. I would highly recommend working with them! The attached photos are from our tasting. We ended up going with the apple glazed salmon (our fav!), the braised short rib, roasted veggies, and the most delicious mashed potatoes. Passed hors d’oeuvres were the beef crostini, mushroom tartlet (which my mushroom hating mother LOVED), and the crab stuffed mushroom. -

Kiley Sent on 10/22/2024Understanding Service, Amazing Lasagna
Bobby patiently worked with me on several different options for catering our wedding. The day of, the food was delicious. We had standing apps of antipasto; ceasar salad; and a buffet with several types of pasta and chicken marsala. My guests commented on how good the lasagna was months later. The team was lovely to work with day of; anticipating our needs and running the food and drink at St. Francis Hall like a well oiled machine. We provided our own alcohol and brought in a cake from a bakery. Putting on the Ritz was happy to accommodate these choices. For cost, service, and taste, I highly recommend Putting on the Ritz. -

Juliana Sent on 09/29/2024Amazing food and superior service
Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Bobby and his team did a knock-out job. So many of our guests come up to us complementing the food - they truly wanted for nothing. The portions were abundant and everything was fresh and served hot. -

Darby Sent on 09/03/2024Absolutely delicious and professional!
Bobby and the Putting on the Ritz team knocked our wedding catering out of the park! We got compliments on the food all night long - the chicken and waffles station and the buffalo chicken Yukon bites served during cocktail hour were especially big hits. Every single member of the POTR staff was friendly, attentive, and professional, and I really enjoyed chatting with them over the course of the event! Bobby was so helpful through the entire wedding planning process, and helped us with everything from color-coordinating linens to planning signature cocktails (which were also very popular!). We're thrilled that we decided to have them cater our wedding, and we'd absolutely recommend them! -

Suzanne Sent on 02/06/2024Best wedding dinner any of our guests have ever had!
Without being hyperbolic, Putting on the Ritz provided my wife and I with the best wedding dinner we or any of our guests have ever had, and we can't recommend them enough for other couples.
Working with a wedding caterer is a months-long process, and we had an excellent experience with Bobby Mitchell and his team throughout every step. My wife and I attended over 12 weddings in 2022 and 2023, so we were looking to do something a little different. From our first conversation, it was obvious that Bobby has decades of catering experiencing and he was quickly able to bring our ideal menu to life, while simultaneously making recommendations on how to best accommodate our vegetarian... -

Ashley Sent on 10/09/2023Professional Staff and Delicious Food!
Putting on the Ritz provided food, tables, chairs, and attentive wait staff and bartenders who all added to our wedding day! The food was all delicious, and Putting on the Ritz provided vegan and dairy-free options for our guests who needed it! Multiple guests complimented the food, the attentiveness of the staff, and the signature cocktails at our wedding bar. The Putting on the Ritz staff also worked at our venue many times before and provided us with thoughtful advice about the layout of the space and what worked best. We recommend booking with them!Putting on the Ritz ,Catering's reply:
Thank you for your kind words, Ashley. It was such a pleasure working with you both. Best wishes for a wonderful future together. -Claudia -

Lindsay Sent on 09/29/2023Delicious & Well Executed!
The details, quality of service and especially the food was beyond my expectations. Serving food for a large group of people presents its own challenges, but putting on the ritz knocked it out of the park seamlessly. There were so many comments about how delicious the food was from the first plate down to the last table served. They did an incredible job and I would choose them for my big day over and over again. Thank you for your service and attention to detail! -

Michelle Sent on 05/31/2023We haven't stopped getting compliments!
Everyone LOVED the food at our reception; people are still reaching out trying to collaboratively figure out how to recreate their honey almond encrusted chicken! The antipasto display was beautiful, and the servers were beyond lovely throughout the night. We were blown away by the professionalism and quality of the food right from our tasting. The company is very flexible about allowing you to supplement bar package; we brought in some Irish cream to go with our coffee bar and some champagne for the head table. I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone in the area! -

Puja Sent on 09/03/2022Great Service Company w/ Ethnic Wedding Experience!
POTR & Bobby are THE people to work with for all your event service needs. Bobby went above and beyond to accommodate our south asian event and work hand in glove with our ethnic caterer. The planning for our 2 day 4-5 events was complex to say the least and Bobby was a fantastic mediator to ensure we could host a successful event. He put our caterer, venue and planner at ease with his level of competence and adaptability/flexibility. The level of professionalism POTR displays is incredible. They were always on point and ready to serve, clean up or help with whatever we needed. I would 100% recommend POTR as the most fairly priced and enjoyable team to work with. We are so grateful for their hard work, dedication to excellence, and would use them again anyday!

The food was absolutely delicious!! We had the discounted winter special buffet and loved everything on my plate (which is saying something because I am incredibly picky). Every person we spoke with loved the food!! Putting on the Ritz was even able to cater to our large portion of vegan guests which was hard for a lot of other caterers to do. Would definitely recommend! -

Jenny Sent on 06/30/2021The food was delicious
We had a wonderful experience with Putting on the Ritz. Our wedding was postponed multiple times due to COVID and they stuck with us through it all. We had a Zoom meeting with Neil to go over the menu and layout and then met in person to finalize details as the wedding got closer. On the actual wedding day, we were so impressed with the whole crew that arrived, from those setting up, passing the appetizers, the bartenders, to the servers. All were very professional and a pleasure to work with. The setup of the room looked beautiful. The food was delicious, and they even packed up the leftovers for us to take home and enjoy for days after. -

Putting on the Ritz is an AMAZING catering team in the DMV area. The level of professionalism is unmatched. Neil is wonderful and a pleasure to work with. The owner was also so very nice as we worked with him getting into a new venue space after an abrupt change of plans due to COVID. The food is also spectacular and the presentation is top notch. Hire them now, you won't regret it! -

Lena Sent on 09/09/2020So great to work with!
Great experience! At the tasting, I voiced concern over the chicken being a bit dry and Angie reassured us it would be perfect the day of. We also decided we wanted the chicken prepared in a different way (breaded and fried instead of baked) and it turned out delicious the day of the wedding, not dry at all! All the sides and other dishes were amazing as well! -

Nicole Sent on 10/08/2019Amazing food and service
Putting on the Ritz was clearly the caterer we wanted for our wedding. I emailed 5 caterers when trying to decide on who to have cater our wedding reception, and they were the best about working with our budget. We gave them a little input on some must-have foods (like crab) and they whipped up a delicious-sounding menu under the budget that we requested—and they could make everything gluten-free so the groom and his mother would be able to eat everything offered at the wedding! Claudia was easy to work with and very responsive to emails, even when there were a few bumps in the road with the guest list. Everyone enjoyed the food at the wedding, and the... -

Ashley Sent on 07/27/2019Deliciously Accommodating!
We did not want traditional wedding food for our day. In fact, we went a very different direction and wanted to have breakfast for dinner for our big day. POTR delivered a perfect breakfast buffet that everyone could enjoy. The Captain Crunch French Toast they made was AMAZING. It made for the perfect main course for a breakfast for dinner meal. Plus, who doesn’t love bacon?! Their servers were also amazing. Always checking in on us and always making sure our glasses were full. The bar also served drinks that complimented our breakfast menu with Irish coffee and mimosas. They were able to accommodate all of our needs for the perfect breakfast for dinner wedding and we could not recommend them more. -

Bobby and his team truly made our wedding day come together perfectly!! He was so professional to work with, and was so knowledgeable about displays, timelines, and weddings in general! He was readily available by email or phone. The day of our wedding, everything looked beautiful, and the staff was great. The bartenders and servers were friendly and professional. We received so many compliments about how delicious the food was and how beautiful everything looked!! I cannot recommend Putting On the Ritz enough!!
