Exceptional!

We held a smaller wedding of 86 people in the Radiant Room/ Highball Room for cocktail lounge at the Ritz. We were so incredibly impressed. They made us feel like Kings and Queens the entire weekend. We worked with Emilia as our event coordinator and she was always available to help calm our nerves and to answer my questions. I highly recommend going with the Ritz. They know what they are doing and we experienced very minimal stress with their assistance. I can't recommend enough!

Getting married at the Ritz-Carlton was one of the singular best choices that we made in our wedding planning. My husband and I visited and contacted countless wedding venues, from Severance, to the Botanical Gardens, to other hotels, to the Club at Hillbrook, and none compared to the Ritz-Carlton in the combination of elegant appearance, luxurious service, and downtown glamour. The convenience of having a hotel wedding cannot be understated, but the fact that the Ritz-Carlton is tucked away grants it an exclusivity and a uniqueness that completely differentiates it from other hotels. From our initial visit to our tasting, and other planning meetings in between, we were treated like royalty. This treatment continued for our guests and wowed everyone who attended. The hotel is completely renovated as of late 2016, and the ballroom is impeccably decorated - the furniture (especially in the pre-function space) looks like furniture that you might pay to rent for a party. The food is exquisite not only in taste but in decoration. The white-gloved butlers who assist guests throughout the night make an incredible impression, and the hotel is simply gorgeous. The hotel is just the most incredible package when it comes to hosting a wedding. In addition to this, the brunch the morning after in the Riverview Room was incredible - not only is the spread wonderful, but the room set up looks more beautiful than I could have imagined! The staff moved all of our floral arrangements into the room so that we could enjoy them again, and they brought all desserts from the evening prior and to-go bags for guests so that nothing went to waste. Everything is presented with complete grace and beauty - I cannot stress enough what a wonder it was to have my wedding at the Ritz!! Working with Janna Woo, the wedding coordinator at the Ritz, is seamless, and she is incredibly kind and helpful in making sure that every element of the wedding goes smoothly and just how the bride imagines.

The Ritz Carlton Cleveland gave my husband and I the most beautiful wedding day! We worked directly with Emily and every part of the planning process was organized and easy. All my worries and questions were answered quickly and professionally. The food was outstanding and the room looked better than I could have imagined. The lighting helped transform the space. We had the perfect day! Thank you for everything!

HIS CRAFT

I interpret a couple’s vision and create their dream wedding by describing what can be provided in our reimagined hotel spaces.

HIS INSPIRATION

My love of food and design prompts me to keep up with the latest trends; however, listening to a couple tell me how they met, their interests and what is important to them allows me to pull together a vision of what their big day can be.
