Beautiful location, wonderful staff , and excellent food!

We held our wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay in September of 2011. The property and the view are absolutely stunning, and the weather was perfect. The staff at the Ritz made sure that our guests, my husband, and I were taken care of and treated well. It truly felt like a fairy tale! Our assigned wedding coordinator, Lesli, was fun, personable, and easy to work with. She made sure that planning the wedding was a positive experience and was able to calm a very type-A bride! I would definitely recommend this dream venue to another couple. However, I did not give the Ritz a perfect score for value, as I felt that some of the prices were extreme (although it's the Ritz-Carlton, so that wasn't a surprise!). Also, we had a few problems with payments during the week of the wedding, as I had made it clear that my mother was going to pay the final deposit, but the Ritz-Carlton charged the deposit to my husband's credit card without informing us. This caused us to have to borrow money last minute from a friend (that was quite a stressful scramble!) in order to book our honeymoon hotel, since the charging error took a few business days to correct at the bank. When the hotel finally corrected the charge, they tried to charge my mother QUADRUPLE what the final deposit balance actually was. Luckily, my mother checked the bill carefully and was able to report the error before she was charged way too much money! These errors made for some stressful and tense moments that took away from our wedding weekend, but other than those mistakes, I can't say enough about how amazing the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay is as a wedding venue!

Nice service and ocean view!! Amy is the best wedding consultant ever!!
