About

The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia is a luxurious hotel venue for couples’ weddings in the greater Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. This hotel features unwavering personal attention and service for couples on their wedding day, all while celebrating in magnificent ballrooms. Couples will find this venue located just across the street from Philadelphia City Hall.

Facilities and Capacity
Couples can invite up to 400 guests to their wedding at The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia. There are ten event spaces and rooms for couples to choose from on their big day. Of these, there are three popular and glamorous spaces couples return to again and again. The Grand Ballroom features magnificent arches with marbled columns. There is an impressive crystal chandelier hanging over the center of the room with a glistening dance floor reflecting its light below. There are also smaller chandeliers throughout the room, French doors, and an overall color scheme of modern grays and white. The Petite Ballroom hosts up to 100 guests. Oversized windows in this space offer views of City Hall, while a high domed ceiling adds depth to the room. The Exchange is the hotel’s restaurant space, previously famous as the Grill Restaurant. This room features a more stately air than a glamorous one, as it boasts a large mahogany bar and open kitchen. Like the Petite Ballroom, The Exchange has windows overlooking City Hall and South Broad Street.

Services Offered
Couples can host any wedding or wedding-related event in this hotel venue. They are invited for their ceremony and reception, bridal shower, engagement party, and rehearsal dinner.

There is an event planner for couples, assistance with lighting and sound, and help with set up and clean up. Couples can have their wedding cake baked by the hotel restaurant’s professionals. There are also accommodations and many choice getting-ready rooms, as this venue is a hotel. Outside vendors and pets are welcome in this space as well.

Absolutely Perfect!

The Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia was the most perfect wedding venue! We worked with Diana and she was extremely helpful and responsive all throughout wedding planning. The rest of the staff, including the kitchen & bar staff, waitstaff, house keeping, bell hops, were all tremendous as well. The food at our wedding was amazing and so many of our guests complimented the food choices. I would highly recommend the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia for your wedding!

I cannot speak highly enough regarding the level of service provided by every staff member of the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia. Our wedding specialist, Nina, and banquet captain, Amir, made sure every single aspect of my daughter's wedding was perfect. She handled a couple of minor crises instantly so they had absolutely no impact on my daughter's enjoyment of the day. The service was impeccable at every level - from check-in and front-desk personnel to banquet captain and servers at the bridal breakfast. The venue and hotel rooms have been recently remodeled and are beautiful and elegant.

Although my daughter and son-in law's wedding was almost two weeks ago, I am still hearing rave reviews from attendees about the delicious food, the incredible service, and overall how amazing their experience was at the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia.

Almost all of our wedding guests were from out of town - and the hotel treated each and every one of them with the level of service one would expect at a Ritz-Carlton.

The hotel also provided ready-rooms for the ladies and gentlemen of the wedding party (supervised by Penny) that had delicious snacks and beverages so everyone in the wedding had a chance to eat before leaving for the church. Nina, our wedding specialist, made sure our guests got on the correct shuttle to get to the church (since there was more than one shuttle outside.) We could not have asked for more!
