The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale Reviews

When one thinks of the Ritz Carlton they think of service. This was a destination wedding in which 240 guests all traveled to the Ritz Carlton in Fort Lauderdale for my daughter's recent wedding. This hotel went above and beyond the call of duty to make this wedding an incredible event for us as well as our guests. Their service was second to none, the food was outstanding, their organization was amazing, and all of their employees worked together to make it incredibly memorable. The person with whom we worked very closely to plan everything was Lorena Somma who was a dream come true; very organized, kind, easy to work with etc. We would highly, highly recommend this hotel for any event!

Natasha Daniels of the Ritz Carlton was THE contact person of THE wedding venue! It was amazing and they were totally flexible and granted me every silly option I asked for.

Our wedding and the entire team were incredible. The venue space and its gorgeous chandeliers made our wedding simply the most beautiful wedding. Thank you Clodagh Larkin, Sheri Benkendorf, and the catering staff at the Ritz for everything. Guests are still talking about how wonderful the food was!!!

Love! Couldnt have it at a better place

Wendy SHoemaker and the Ritz CArlton team at the Ft Lauderdale beach location provided the most professional and amazing service that I have ever been provided. The whole hotel was aware of the wedding for months to come and made myself, my friends and our families feel so special. The setting was beautiful for the ceremony on the 7th floor pool deck overlooking the ocean. We fell in love with the ballroom immediately when we were looking for locations. The chandelier is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. The food was incredible and they made me wedding cupcakes instead of a cake, just want I wanted! The chef and dining manager were so great the whole night. If you looking for true beauty and service, look no further that the Ritz in Ft Lauderdale The beach there is great for a destination wedding, a lot of activities in the area. The staff and this hotel truly made us feel special on our wedding day, we are already looking forward to going back for our anniversary.

The Ritz Carlton provided the most amazing service and food to all of my guests.

The whole event went smoothly. My direct contact on property was on top of everything and you really didn't need a day of planner (I'm a little OCD, so I had one anyway), but they really take care of everything. They have a head banquet waiter assigned to the bride and groom the whole time, so my drinks were never empty and anything I needed, they were there.

It was flawless. They were so flexible with us when we wanted to come up and do our floral trial, they let us use the room without cost.

We also had our Brunch there the next morning and it was amazing! Though I later found out that they serve a bigger brunch downstairs for less money.

Overall I would highly recommend this property. The chandelier in the room is such a wow factor, everyone was blown away.

The ritz Carlton in ft lauderdale was an amazing venue. Kathryn Hill & her team were awesome. They were very commentating to everything. The day was perfect. We had this huge meeting room to get my 9 bridesmaids & myself all ready for the day. I was so relaxed because I knew they would do an excellent job and I was right! The service was impeccable! The night ran very smoothly. All of the guests were very pleased with their rooms & the wedding. The room with the swarvoski chandeliers are beautiful. I was sold. Plus you are the only wedding there so no one is crashing your wedding. The staff were very professional, and very easy going. We had an amazing wedding experience. We highly recommend this venue!!

We really enjoyed having our wedding here at the Ritz in Ft. Lauderdale. It is less crowded than Palm Beach or Miami and you can't beat the professionalism and quality of service at the Ritz! We worked with Wendy (our Ritz coordinator) and she was super sweet, understanding, and great to work with. I was a little worried towards the early stages of planning because it was taking a long time to get email/phone responses back from Wendy but later on (towards the last month or so) the responsiveness picked up and she was really good about keeping up with our plans. I loved the look, the feel, the food, and the service! We had the ceremony on the pool terrace outside with a view of the beach/ocean and then a 70-people reception inside the smaller ballroom. They have a beautiful inside cocktail area with a gorgeous bar area. We had such a great time- can't wait to go back for our anniversary :) The banquet captain even told us he would freeze the top layer of our cake for us and keep it in the Ritz's freezers for when we come back! (We are out-of-towners and couldn't take the cake top with us). Highly recommend the Ritz to anybody who is looking for a classy and elegant venue.
