Wish I could give 10 stars!

We worked with Heather at the Ritz and could not have been happier. The only downside is that we don't get to spend time together anymore, now that the wedding is over. She was responsive and helpful with suggestions before the event and flawless on the day of. Thanks Heather!

Amanda Belton and the Ritz Carlton Chicago did an amazing job at our wedding. She was the planner we worked with and she was so helpful and responsive. Anything we asked they took care of. The staff (all staff including maintenance) studied our pictures ahead of time and knew our names as we walked throughout the hotel the entire weekend! Their attention to detail beyond anything you could imagine was there. We wanted a specific room for photos which was booked and Amanda immediately contacted us the second it opened up. She helped us with all our needs and delivered beyond our dreams. In addition, the food at the wedding was delicious! Our guests raved about the food which is rare at weddings. I cannot imagine a more perfect wedding and the gorgeous hotel and wonderful hotel staff definitely contributed to our dream wedding.

The Ritz Carlton was remarkable. The staff was there for every need: picking up a spoon immediately after an hors enters the mouth to helping guests find their tables and MUCH more. The food was INCREDIBLE. It was fresh and elegantly presented. We had it French style, and they pulled it off without a hitch. The team was there for every demand throughout the entire planning process, and we are thrilled with this venue, caterer, and staff. We would recommend it to anybody.
