We had our absolute dream wedding at The Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our special day. The space is stunning! The team at The Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City went above and beyond to ensure everything was flawless, and we especially want to recognize Katie Fabian and Christin Fronika for their exceptional efforts. From the initial planning stages to the day-of coordination, Katie and Christin were always a step ahead, anticipating our needs and making sure every detail was perfect. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the venue and the seamless execution of the day. We can't thank The Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City and their incredible team, especially Katie and Christin, enough for helping us create memories we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a wedding venue that's not only breathtaking but also supported by a team of amazing professionals, look no further than The Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City!!
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!
The level of responsiveness, attention to detail, and willingness to work with my needs was incredible! The special events team helped to ensure the wedding of my dreams happened with class and elegance! The service doesn't compare to anywhere in the area and we're so glad we chose this venue.
The Ritz Carlton- Pentagon City was a perfect venue for my wedding. Katie and Takayla were amazing throughout the entire process and were very responsive the whole time! Every detail was absolutely beautiful. It was a pleasure to work with everyone there and I am so happy I was able to have my wedding there.
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!
It’s a four star hotel with five star prices. First there’s was little to no communication from our event coordinator. Every-time we tried to contact them it would take a follow up email or phone call three days later for them even respond. The day of the wedding was a disaster. Everything we asked for was omitted on top of the attitude our coordinator ended up having, completely unnecessary. You can find better hotels for a lot less than this place.
We are using the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City for our wedding block, only; we are not holding our reception or ceremony there. If you are getting married in D.C. -- book your block here!! Their high quality staff, coupled with their super-convenient location, just cannot be beat.
I am generally planning to withhold all of my reviews until after the wedding, but the Ritz-Carlton's staff has been so helpful and accommodating, I can just cannot wait to praise them! From the minute I contacted them regarding our block, they have been incredibly responsive and helpful. They have assisted in booking transportation for our wedding, as well. Really, they have gone above and beyond in every aspect. If they are this attentive to hotel block brides, I cannot image how great they are to those hosting their wedding there!
We decided to go with the Ritz because it was one of the few venues in the DMV area that holds over 150 guests and includes catering. The staff is lovely, but the wedding coordinator in charge switched a total of *three* times between us signing our contract and the wedding, which led to lots of mishaps regarding prices, among other things. This led to A LOT of unnecessary stress for me and my family. There were also dozens of welcome bags that our guests (who made reservations at the hotel in our room block) never received and my husband missed out on specialty drinks (which were in our contract). In the grand scheme of things, it’s not the worst that could’ve happened but for the money we paid it was disappointing to have even minor problems like that which were easily preventable. We had a great wedding, but I would urge anyone considering this location to really read the fine print about pricing and charges because it added up to more than we thought after seeing the initial contract.
