Amazing 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, so we worked with them to create a Mediterranean-themed buffet that was a hit with our guests. They helped bring our vision to life, offering an amazing make-your-own gyro station, which was a big crowd-pleaser. We also created three specialty cocktails, and they executed them flawlessly—our guests couldn’t stop raving about the drinks! Many said it was the best bar service they’d ever experienced at a wedding.
The food itself was incredible. We had guests with various dietary restrictions, and Putting on the Ritz made sure to accommodate everyone. The highlight for us was the Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves)—they were absolutely divine! Every dish tasted fantastic, and the team’s attention to detail made everything run smoothly.
Overall, working with Putting on the Ritz was an absolute pleasure. They listened to our vision, helped answer every question, and made sure everything was set up perfectly for the big day. We’re so grateful to the entire team for helping bring our dream wedding to life, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding food and service!Putting on the Ritz ,Catering's reply:

Made sure my day was everything I imagined, and more
I had my wedding on 12/7/24 at the Baltimore Museum of Art and had to choose from a pre-determined list of caterers. I'm so glad I went with POTR, they were very responsive throughout the entire process, answered all of my questions, and gave honest feedback when it came time for decor/decision making. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get married in the future, they are also a great cost for the services they provide.I had my wedding on 12/7/24 at the Baltimore Museum of Art and had to choose from a pre-determined list of caterers.

Pretty Solid Caterer
The food was great and they made the day of run very smoothly. Sometimes the response time was pretty slow and kind of difficult to communicate via email though.The food was great and they made the day of run very smoothly.

Delicious, 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 also had a fair amount of dietary restrictions and allergies, and they ensured everyone had a delicious meal to eat.
Finally -- highly recommend the boozy mini cupcakes as a dessert option - SO GOOD. -

Great 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....Putting on the Ritz catered our wedding and their food was so good!

It seemed they had a smooth communication system and everything we agreed on during the tasting was exactly what we had at the wedding. No mistakes, no miscommunications, and any questions that needed clarity were asked and confirmed to myself and my event coordinator. They were timely, their staff was attentive and helpful, were reasonably priced, and they provide all the table clothes, china, silverware/utensils, and drinking glasses (all included and customizable). I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an event caterer in the area!-

Delicious and Wonderful
We got married on Friday, December 13th 2024 at The Cloisters Castle and we could not be more pleased with our decision to hire Putting on the Ritz as our caterer. They were heavily involved from the early planning stages until the event to make sure all our needs were met and to make sure our event went off with no issues. We had a ton of compliments around how good the food was, and we were just super happy with everything.
I highly recommend splurging a little extra for the hot chocolate/cider bar, especially if you're getting married in the colder months - this was the highlight of the event! They even accommodated my special cocktail...We got married on Friday, December 13th 2024 at The Cloisters Castle and we could not be more pleased with our decision to hire Putting on the Ritz as our caterer.

Great 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!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.

Amazing 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!We highly recommend Putting on the Ritz for any event, but specifically for weddings!!

Absolute 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.We had such a wonderful experience with Putting on the Ritz!

Putting on the Ritz Stays True to Their Name!
We hired POTR to cater our wedding at Josephine Butler Parks Center at the beginning of November 2024 and I was completely blown away by their service from the time we contacted them a year ago through clean up at the end of the night. POTR was stellar and flawless in every step of the way. We initially worked with Mila, who was responsive, professional and so helpful in helping us decide a menu. Planning a menu and catering for 150 people with different dietary needs but also staying within budget was no easy task. Mila presented us with a few options, and we chose a buffet with both meat and vegetarian options, as well as an antipasto display...We hired POTR to cater our wedding at Josephine Butler Parks Center at the beginning of November 2024 and I was completely blown away by their service from the time we contacted them a year ago through clean up at the end of the night. POTR was stellar and flawless in every step of the way. We initially worked with Mila, who was responsive, professional and so helpful in helping us decide a menu. Planning a menu and catering for 150 people with different dietary needs but also staying within budget was no easy task. Mila presented us with a few options, and we chose a buffet with both meat and vegetarian options, as well as an antipasto display for cocktail hour. When we went in for the tasting, the food was amazing. We selected the top round, sesame chicken, portobello mushroom pasta, roast veggies, and mashed potatoes for our buffet, but we had such a difficult time deciding what to select because it was all so tasty.
For the last three months leading up to the wedding, we ended up working with Bobby Mitchell and he was also phenomenal. When we did the walk through, he answered all of our questions (we had a lot) gave us advice on what would be the best seating arrangements, where to place the buffet, the best table sizes for the setups, and he even helped recommend contrasting colors for a few of the tablecloths and it looked amazing (we are so glad we took his advice!). His knowledge was invaluable and he was readily answered the phone when we had questions. Within two weeks of the wedding, I requested a change to the vegetarian option (we ended up going with the butternut squash ravioli) and they were happy to accommodate. We didn’t try it at the tasting, but since the food was delicious, we were confident it would be good. It ended up being a hit at our wedding—people loved the ravioli, which sat on top of spaghetti squash. It was so good—even the non-vegetarians raved about it!
On the day of the wedding, POTR knocked it out of the park. They were on time, set up everything flawlessly and efficiently. During our cocktail hour, Bobby brought us up a plate of food from the antipasto display (the tortellini are delicious!) and drinks to make sure we ate. We also heard compliments from the guests that the antipasto was so good and delicious. Also, since our venue was a tight space, we ended up using the same room for the ceremony. POTR turned it around within an hour. I wish I took photos of the room because it was beautiful! During dinner, Bobby brought us plates of food to make sure we ate, which was invaluable since one of the tips we have gotten several times is to make sure you eat at your wedding.
When it came time for clean up, they were the pros. They broke everything down, cleaned it all up, and were done within an hour. Bobby also gave us extra food that was not served (we ordered extra just in case) and he had it packed up neatly and ready for us to go at the end of the night.
We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing caterer. Bobby is phenomenal and POTR has delicious food, is professional, and they clearly know what they are doing. I can’t sing their praises enough. If you are looking for an amazing caterer, look no further. POTR will impress you and, true to their name, they will be “putting on the ritz” for you. We are so grateful for POTR making our day extra special! -

Thank you, Putting on the Ritz!
We had an amazing experience with Putting on the Ritz. The food was so delicious and all of our guests loved it. Bobby and the rest of the team were great to work with — very accommodating and helpful. The wedding day went so smoothly with everyone well-cared for, including my husband and I who were well-fed and always had a drink in hand. We are so grateful we booked with Putting on the Ritz. Things couldn't have gone easier.We had an amazing experience with Putting on the Ritz. The food was so delicious and all of our guests loved it.

Understanding 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.Bobby patiently worked with me on several different options for catering our wedding. The day of, the food was delicious.

Amazing 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.Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Bobby and his team did a knock-out job.

Avoid Intentionally!
My wife and I were extremely disappointed with the service provided by Putting on the Ritz Caterers for our wedding. The entire experience was marred by their complete lack of communication and carelessness with our special day.
From the start, we were not assigned a main point of contact, which led to a chaotic and frustrating planning process. Despite contracting their services about eight months before the wedding, they ignored multiple emails containing pertinent information about our event. When they did respond, their communication was curt and blunt, adding unnecessary confusion to an already stressful process.
What was even more infuriating was that different representatives from the company kept asking us questions about topics that had already...My wife and I were extremely disappointed with the service provided by Putting on the Ritz Caterers for our wedding.

From the start, we were not assigned a main point of contact, which led to a chaotic and frustrating planning process. Despite contracting their services about eight months before the wedding, they ignored multiple emails containing pertinent information about our event. When they did respond, their communication was curt and blunt, adding unnecessary confusion to an already stressful process.
What was even more infuriating was that different representatives from the company kept asking us questions about topics that had already been discussed in detail. This not only showed a lack of organization but also a lack of respect for the time and effort we had put into planning. As a vendor that was forced upon us, they completely failed to do their due diligence. They didn't even cross-reference the details of our contract with the venue, despite being on the venue's preferred list.
On the day of the wedding, all of our previous planning discussions seemed to have been disregarded. We were asked the same questions again, as if nothing had been communicated beforehand. To make matters worse, we were assigned a stranger to handle any questions or concerns during the event, someone who had no prior knowledge of our wedding plans.
The worst part of all was that their staff threw away not one but two of the most expensive dish at our reception without any prior authorization from anyone. Dishes that my wife's sister had spent countless hours preparing. This careless action was the final straw in a series of disappointments.
If you enjoy headaches and stress Putting on the Ritz Caterers is the perfect match. They were unprofessional, disorganized, and completely out of touch with the needs of their clients.Putting on the Ritz ,Catering's reply:
I am very sorry for the above clients’ concerns. I feel we did what was contracted.
For the above client. Most of this comes down to 2 pans of stew being thrown away.
The onsite coordinator was given instructions for the event. All things on our end took place on time. I have confirmed this with the event host of the evening from the venue.
The above party was for 60 people, and the client demanded $450.00 for 2 pans of leftover stew. At the end of the party, there was not that much left. Also, this item had been out since the start of the party at 4:30, it should have been thrown away.

Absolutely 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!).

Highly Recommend!!
I would highly recommend Putting on the Ritz!! We used them for our wedding this past April (2024), and we are so glad we did. They came highly recommended by our venue (Visarts) and by our wedding coordinator (Completely Coordinated). We loved PotR at first because of the pricing. They were honestly the most affordable caterer for us (including an open bar), AND one of the only caterers that didn't charge for a tasting. The tasting, to start, was incredible. We got so much food and got to try a wide range of dishes. We worked primarily with Bobby to start, and we could tell right away that he was a pro. He knows the business inside and out,...I would highly recommend Putting on the Ritz!! We used them for our wedding this past April (2024), and we are so glad we did.

He knows the business inside and out, and gave us excellent advice. He was SO helpful with picking linens and designs, and executed it flawlessly with his team. Towards the end we worked more with Mila Balderas, and she was excellent. She asked very pointed questions to get us exactly the vision we wanted, and again, it was executed flawlessly! There was so much food at the wedding, and it was good! The dishes were simple crowd pleasers, and I mean that in the best way. We didn't have a single complaint, and they were so easy to work with given some of the food allergies we had. -

Great value caterer
Overall very good experience with catering for our wedding. They worked with us to find a menu that fit our budget, and the hors d’ouvres and dinner were both delicious. Had a few difficulties communicating with them in the weeks leading up to the wedding as we worked to finalize the wedding day timeline and logistics. Resolved everything in time, and wedding day went smoothly. Just be prepared to call them up if things occasionally get lost in translation.Overall very good experience with catering for our wedding.

Great Experience
From proposal to planning to execution, Putting on the Ritz was responsive, communicative, and professional all through our experience. On the day of the wedding, their staff was friendly, effective, and organized, and their food was quite good. Some of my guests said it was the best wedding food they’ve had. I absolutely recommend Putting on the Ritz.From proposal to planning to execution, Putting on the Ritz was responsive, communicative, and professional all through our experience.

Delicious Food and Wonderful Experience!
Bobby and his team at Putting on the Ritz were excellent and provided a wonderful experience for our guests while taking the stress off of us during the planning process. Right from the start they were quick to respond to any and all inquiries. Our guests told us that the food was some of the best they had ever had at a wedding! The biggest hit were the lace cookies. Family members have continued to joke for months after the wedding that they won’t be attending family events unless someone brings those specific cookies (newsflash I’m surprising them on Easter). Not that there is any time for a bride to be worrying on her wedding day with everything else...Bobby and his team at Putting on the Ritz were excellent and provided a wonderful experience for our guests while taking the stress off of us during the planning process.

It was taken care of and executed perfectly. Would highly recommend! -

Best 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...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 and vegan guests, organize our bars and buffet, and pick appetizers that really pop.
Bobby and his team were always very easy to reach over phone and email especially as we got closer to the big day just to double check and fine tune things. Additionally, Bobby made it extremely easy for us to choose our plates, silverware, and linens too - just one less thing to worry about.
At our wedding reception, things could not have gone better! We literally had dozens of guests say that this was the best wedding dinner they ever had. Some of our local guests from DC were disappointed to find out that we didn't hire a restaurant to cater because they wanted to make reservations to try all their favorites again soon. Additionally, some of our guests wish we had put out tip jars for Putting on the Ritz's bartenders because they were so pleased with the excellent service they received. As a final illustration of how easy Putting on the Ritz made the whole affair for my wife and I, we made a last second addition to our specialty cocktail menu and wanted to serve spicy margaritas, and without us having to ask or amend the catering proposal, Bobby and his team had jalapeno slices and tajin rims for the drinks, and they were the most popular drink of the night. This team just pays attention to detail and makes sure to execute on both the big and little things.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, my wife and I couldn't have been happier with the value of Putting on the Ritz. We self-financed our wedding, so had to stick to pretty strict budget parameters. We were never presented or pressured to review catering or service options that were outside of our budget, and were able to create a custom dinner experience that was perfect for us and exactly in line with our financial situation. -

Professional 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 provided food, tables, chairs, and attentive wait staff and bartenders who all added to our wedding day!

Delicious & 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.
