Ritz Charles

Our wedding at the Ritz Charles was everything we could’ve asked for AND MORE! Not only was the night itself perfect, but everything leading up to it. Emily was such an incredible coordinator, answering all our questions in a timely manner and really went above and beyond at every turn. Our day of coordinators Robyn and Claire were incredible, and made the day go off without a hitch! We couldn’t have asked for a better team, and can’t recommend Ritz Charles enough!

The Ritz Charles was AMAZING! We viewed multiple venues and ultimately chose the Artsgarden due to the uniqueness of the space. After choosing that space, we began working with Elizabeth Henning (Artsgarden) to figure out details. She was incredibly helpful throughout every step and was always quick to respond to all of our emails! On our wedding day, everything was perfect!!! The food was incredible, the staff was incredible, and our space setup was incredible. I cannot recommend the Artsgarden, Ritz Charles, and Elizabeth enough!! They truly made our day amazing and so incredibly stress free. If we could do it all over again, we would choose the Ritz Charles every single time!!

Cannot say enough great things about Maddie and the entire staff at the Ritz. Our wedding was the BEST night of our life, and it wouldn't have been possible without them. The food, ambiance, and quality of the Chapel and Garden Pavillion are top-notch. So glad we went with the flaming donut station as our dessert - our guests LOVED it.

I was initially intimidated by Ritz Charles - the name itself sounded “ritzy”/expensive. But when I started comparing it with other wedding venues, I was surprised with how this venue offers the BEST VALUE! We envisioned a modern minimalist theme for our wedding, and this venue was PERFECT FIT! Their wedding package offerings were comprehensive and made our wedding planning easy and stress-free. We did not have to worry about renting and setting up tables and chairs, and many other little things, which was great! The venue itself (ballroom) is stunning and classy even with just the bare minimums. We had simple centerpieces (floating candles with table numbers), so it literally took us less than an hour to decorate the whole space for the reception! In addition to the beautiful venue, the FOOD is amazing! I have been to many corporate and social events, and Ritz is by far my favorite caterer! Also, we received many compliments about the food from our guests. Above all, Ritz has the best event specialist! I am very grateful to Maddie and her team. Maddie has remarkable attention to detail and was very professional, patient and kind throughout the entire process – from tours, details meeting until the big day. She has been very communicative and responsive to all my inquiries and concerns. We really appreciate her service and all the help extended to make our dream wedding into reality! The wedding tasting was also an experience to remember! We were spoiled with great food and superb service by the staff. The flaming donuts was a unique experience! To anyone who is looking for a wedding venue and caterer, I suggest you inquire about Ritz Charles! You will have no regrets! Yes, it is RITZY, but in terms of FOOD AND SERVICE and how it made us and all our guests FEEL! I must say, it was one of the BEST DECISIONS we made during our wedding planning! Kudos to Maddie and the rest of the team for the outstanding food and service!

The Ritz Charles was by far my favorite wedding venue in the Indianapolis area, I even booked them on the spot at our tour! We had our ceremony in the Chapel and reception in the Garden Pavilion. They were so easy to work with and made the planning process much less complicated by having food, drinks, and tableware rentals all part of the deal. Emily was my contact person, she is so kind and helpful and really made my vision come to life! Day of contacts were all great and super helpful too. I didn’t hire a wedding planner, so having them there to keep things running smoothly was ideal. Seriously could not have found a better venue and had the best wedding day thanks to the Ritz Charles!!

From the moment my husband and I stepped into the Ritz Charles venue in Carmel, we knew it was the one for our September 2024 wedding. It is a beautiful venue. First off, I have to give our appreciation to Maddie Lierman who was the point of contact for any and all questions that we (really “I”) had, and I always had many lol. Maddie was always so gracious and extremely quick with her responses. She even went as far as to provide recommendations for rehearsal dinner locations! The food tasting at RC was great, too great actually, as me and my fiancé had an extremely hard time narrowing down our wedding day menu. Our wedding went very smoothly, thanks to Michelle’s help and efficiency with coordinating our ceremony and Becca helping with any and all reception logistics (also Becca was incredibly sweet and made me feel like such a beautiful bride!). Our guests also raved about how phenomenal the service was the entire night. I would highly recommend this venue to any and all couples looking for the perfect wedding and reception venue!

I can’t praise the Ritz Charles enough. My husband and I celebrated our wedding on August 30th at the Bluffs at Conner Prairie, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very start, our coordinator Elizabeth was a delight to work with. She expertly guided us through every decision and was always available to address our questions. On the rehearsal and wedding days, a team of additional coordinators ensured everything went off without a hitch. Their presence was discreet, handling everything seamlessly without bothering us unless absolutely necessary. The staff’s professionalism and attentiveness were evident, and they did an outstanding job catering to our guests. And the food—where do I even begin? The culinary offerings were exceptional. Our cocktail hour featured passed hors d’oeuvres that were an absolute hit, including tomato goat cheese cones, bourbon meatballs, and Boursin cheese mini bouchees. For dinner, we chose a plated meal, and both the sirloin steak and basil white balsamic chicken were out of this world. The cake was delicious, and our late-night pizza station was the perfect touch to end the evening, no one went home hungry. The Bluffs is an absolutely gorgeous venue and the Ritz is truly one of a kind to work with. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a venue that cares about their couples, has great food, and has amazing staff.

Choosing Ritz Charles as our venue was one of the best decisions my husband and I made! Maddie and the rest of the Ritz Charles staff made our wedding everything we wanted & more. They were great communicators, detail oriented and above all wonderful to work with. We cannot recommend this venue enough to other couples!

I could not be happier with our experience. Megan at Ritz Charles was our event specialist and she was amazing. Wonderful communication and always willing to help when I needed it. We had our wedding at Artisan Acres and it was a dream. Our day of coordinators were amazing and did everything they could to make our day special. Everyone was willing to help with anything they could. They tried their best to make sure I didn't have to do anything which is hard for me because I like to do it all myself. They even went above and beyond to go to the store during the reception to get milk for one of our guests baby. Highly recommend having your wedding throught the Ritz Charles especially at Artisan Acres.

Working with the Ritz Charles was an incredible experience. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. They were flexible with all of our ideas and have everything so organized. I didn’t feel stressed once during wedding planning, because the Ritz took care of everything! On the day of, the event staff were kind and professional. They were always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. All in all I can’t recommend the Ritz enough if you want a beautifully run, stress free wedding.

We couldn't be happier with the service we received from Ritz Charles for our wedding during the total solar eclipse! Finding the perfect venue that would lie along the eclipse path while also fulfilling our vision of a beautiful and natural setting that incorporated the outdoors seemed like a daunting task at first, but the Ritz's Garden Pavilion ticked all of those boxes and so much more! After going over the very reasonable terms and seeing it in-person, we knew that we had stumbled onto the perfect place for us. We began working with Emily on the details right away and were very impressed by her professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise. Neither of us had been to too many weddings and lacked any knowledge of how to go about planning our own, but Emily helped us figure out how to plan the wedding of our dreams. We really appreciated her insights on even the tiniest of details we would never have considered and her constant availability to answer questions whether by phone or email. Her kindness, patience, and passion for what she does was just icing on the cake! Speaking of cakes, Ritz Charles includes the wedding cake, all of the food catering, bar tending, and wait staffing in their services! It was such a relief to have those things crossed off of our list of vendors to setup ourselves, and let us just focus on what specific things we wanted at our event. Their extensive menu offers tons of options and also includes a free tasting event in the months leading up to the wedding! The guests we brought with us to the tasting were as blown away as we were by the amazing food, incredible service, and elegant atmosphere. The actual day of our wedding was everything we could have hoped for and more. The Garden Pavilion looked almost otherworldly in it's breathtaking beauty and set the perfect tone for both our wedding and the spectacular cosmic event we observed later in the day. The ceremony and reception coordinators were both incredibly kind, polite, and helpful throughout the day and happy to do anything we asked of them. Our guests were awed by the impeccable service and dedication shown by every staff member, and we received many compliments both during and after on our choice of venues. Overall, we can't recommend Ritz Charles enough to anyone looking to create the wedding event of a lifetime. Thank you to Emily and everyone at Ritz Charles for helping us create the most amazing and memorable day of our lives!!!

I had a wedding during the pandemic (7/2020). I had originally planned my wedding back home in Illinois, but had to replan the entire thing 1 month before the big day. I found the Ritz Charles and it was an absolute dream. They had JUST remodeled and just so happened to have the same day open! They really helped us out and made it so easy for us. We had an open bar and the price was pretty good. Our guests LOVED the bartender (I believe her name was Julie)! We had our wedding and ceremony in the main building because the chapel was booked already, but made it so that we could do the ceremony in a separate room. It was such a beautiful day and the courtyard area outside was absolutely beautiful and many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve been to. It felt like a luxury experience. My only complaint was that they didn’t allow us to have an outside person make our cake— we had to get our cake from them and it was nearly a thousand dollars. Our other baker was only charging us $300, so a massive difference. That sucked, but the cake was exquisite and made for some beautiful pictures! They allowed us to customize it however we wanted and even sent us with an additional layer to freeze and eat on our first anniversary. Would definitely recommend this venue!

We are so thankful we chose a Ritz Charles venue! The Bluffs at Conner Prairie was incredible, as was the Ritz Charles staff. Our day went so smoothly and I truly was not stressed about anything the day of as I knew they had everything handled. Also, I can't thank our event specialist, Megan, enough. She was such a joy to work with in our planning meetings & answered every question I had in a timely manner. Thank you!
