Smoothest wedding planning experience ever!

My wedding at the Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City was a dream come true. I could not have envisioned a smoother wedding planning experience and a more perfect venue for our summer wedding.

The ladies and gentlemen at the Ritz, specifically Katie Fabian, and Linor Shemesh, were always accommodating to changes and bringing my vision to life. They were always welcoming and kind to us while we were visiting to go over details, and were especially sweet to all our guests.

The space was recently renovated to include light blues, whites and tranquil earth tones. It was perfect for a summer wedding. The ambassador room was great for the cocktail hour, and the diplomat room was just the right size for 75 guests, a large dance floor, all the vendors, and the buffet.

My husband and I also stayed the night in the hotel. What a great surprise to arrive into the room with a wonderful letter from the Ritz team and a chilled bottle of Prosecco! They also put some rose petals in the bath for us, which was a very romantic touch.

Prime location means you guests are also close to highways and can easily get in and out of DC and Alexandria if they want to see the tourist sites!

I 100% recommend the Ritz in pentagon city to anyone who is looking for a great summer wedding venue in the DMV area!

The dream wedding

Where to even begin! This review is a month overdue but the Ritz Carlton, Pentagon City was the dream wedding venue for us. I am from California & my husband is from the DMV so we went to a variety of hotels to see what would be the perfect fit for both of us. When we had our call with the sales manager Katie, she gave us thorough details about their grand ballroom, capacity and any initial details we needed to know about the Ritz Pentagon City.

We scheduled our tour promptly and immediately fell in love with the hotel/ballroom. The ballroom I believe was renovated before or after COVID and it is absolutely STUNNING. The newly renovated carpets, crown molding details, chandeliers and the ceiling WOW. We knew this was the wedding venue for us as it required minimal decor and gave us the timeless, classic wedding we envisioned.

Upon signing the contract, we were assigned an events coordinator immediately to work with us closely. Christin was a gem to work with, her kindness, her attention to detail and ability to leave no stone unturned was impeccable. She scheduled bi weekly calls months leading up to the wedding and weekly once closer to the wedding. She was always available for us and made sure to answer all our questions/concerns. Christin and the staff at the Ritz were truly remarkable- I have never received such service but hey again its the Ritz! Even our guests staying at the hotel were shocked by the level of service and kindness they received by all staff in different depts. Those are the details that also mean the world to us and what we appreciate hearing from all our loved ones who took the time to join us on our joyous evening.

We HIGHLY recommend the Ritz Pentagon city to anyone in the Arlington or surrounding areas who are searching for their dream wedding. You won't regret it I promise! Another plus was our out of town guests were also able to enjoy exploring the DC area in such close proximity. Thank you again Katie, Christin & the staff at Ritz Pentagon City. We cannot wait to come back for a staycation stay and enjoy it again on our wedding anniversary!

We used the Ritz Carlton for part of our wedding weekend and were blown away by the staff. Zaidee Sarip Macmod, Director of Meetings and Special Events, helped us coordinate our events and was very thoughtful. The hotel arranged for a special rate for our guests, and people loved how close the location was to the mall and the Metro. The staff were so friendly and helped us with many special requests. The chef did an amazing job creating a custom dinner menu for our reception, and our guests raved about how good the food was. It was such a pleasure to stay at the hotel and have part of our wedding there.
