Maritza and her team went above and beyond for my wedding florals! As a type A person, I had a certain vision and it was hard for me to just trust the process but I'm so glad I did...
. The results were GORGEOUS. My husband and I were so blown away with what a good job they did. It was my vision but even better. Maritza was so happy and passionate about her work and you can tell in the results.
Unbelievable amazing. Maritza and her team did such an incredible job. The flowers were absolutely stunning and exactly what I had pictured in my head. I wanted something understat...
ed but colorful and she matched my vision completely. Along with the team that came to set up, everyone was absolutely wonderful to work with and really made the vibe perfect.
It was a pleasure working with Ritz and her team for my May 2023 wedding. She completely understood the vision that my husband and I had in mind and executed it beautifully and wit...
hin our desired budget. I was especially speechless during the room reveal for our reception. Ritz and her team are very passionate about florals and it shows within the work they produce.
When I met Maritza I was extremely happy to have found her! I mean the communication was great & I loved how her proposals showed the actual flowers that would be used. About 9 mon...
ths before my wedding is when the communication changed for the worst. Trying to get in contact with her was a complete hassle to the point where I started to feel ghosted, it’s like she was more focused on her cafe shop & she even admitted it down the line. 2 months before my wedding I would call to confirm about rentals I was suppose to have in my wedding, however the number was always directed to her cafe & they would say she’s not here or she’s going to call me back. I never got a call back anytime I called her number. I tried emailing and didn’t get a response until weeks later with a phone call. At this point I’m feeling super neglected & extremely worried I would not have decor for my wedding or something is going to go wrong. I pretty much decided I did not want to use octagons rentals for my wedding & she was thrilled saying she could not find them anyway. It’s a month before my wedding & when was I going to find out about this?! I then started asking about the rentals for my sweetheart table, chairs & cake table. Her response was I would have to get those things myself even though she mentioned she would get those things for me in my proposal. I was extremely annoyed at that & left scrambling to figure out what table & chairs I needed to get because my venue had sets that did not match my decor. On the day of the wedding I received my bouquet & it was NOTHING like what we discussed or was on my proposal. I was supposed to have white roses, white astilbes, white pampas, white lisianthus, & regular pampas grass. I got a complete mess. The flowers looked old & some were limb and dying. It just looked like no thought was put into my bouquet; the flowers were bunched up & looked like it was just put together last minute. I hated it!! For my centerpieces I was suppose to have flowers on the bottom of the centerpiece base, I didn’t receive that. Even my centerpieces were a mess, it’s like you can tell different people created them that none matched; each centerpiece was different, flowers were squished & the pampas was just all over the place. Some pampas looked broken , some were falling over , & some were straight like they should be. I was suppose to have flowers on my cake, I didn’t receive that either. I expected a lot more flowers & candles for my sweetheart area especially since I communicated I wanted the look to be full. Overall my vision did not come together like I thought it would. However , in the moment I really did think everything in the reception room came out how I wanted & it looked nice but once I was able to sit & really look at my pictures is when I realized everything was wrong. I wish I went to every table to really look at my centerpieces because I would have communicated my dislike but then I’m also happy I didn’t because I’m not sure if I would have been able to enjoy my wedding knowing my vision didn’t truly come out like I hoped.
Maritza and her team absolutely KILLED the florals and décor for my wedding. When I initially reached out to Maritza, I sent her some loose guidance & inspiration and the initial p...
roposal she sent me was EXACTLY what I was looking for. When we met with her to review, I made a few minor changes, but I knew when I got the initial proposal that I wanted to work with her. She had been to my venue (Perona Farms) previously and made great recommendations based on the greenery and décor that already exists there. My bridal bouquet was gorgeous, and my bridesmaids loved their bouquets as well. I also leveraged Ritz Walton for rentals since my wedding vision included a lot of candles and lanterns. They 100% killed it and helped make my vision come to life. So many guests came up to me and complimented the centerpieces at the reception. Maritza and her team are clearly amazing at their jobs, and I am so happy I booked them for the wedding. Before the wedding Maritza was available to answer any questions I had and was super flexible when I asked to add some florals on our wedding signage a few weeks before the wedding. I felt so comfortable before the wedding day and knew that the team had it covered. When my husband and I walked into our ceremony and reception space we were absolutely floored by how beautiful it was. I am forever grateful to the team- you guys are amazing!!
Working with Khalilah, Shana, and Maritza from The Ritz-Walton Collection was a wonderful experience! not only they are incredible at what they do! they are amazing to work with th...
ey are friendly, kind, responsive, and creative. On the day of the wedding, they were on top of every little floral/decor detail! I was very impressed with how passionate the team was when bringing everything to life!! Everyone was speechless when they walked into the ceremony room & reception room!
Ritz-Walton's work made my wedding feel like it was something out of a dream. Maritza and Khalilah were wonderful to work with, they completely understood my vision and brought it...
to life. Our altar was beyond words, the aisle decor was beautiful, or sweetheart table was like a dream, and the over look of our wedding was magical. If you're looking for a wedding florist look no further. From my first conversation with Maritza I felt comfortable and at ease. Wedding planning and managing a budget is stressful but Maritza and Khalilah worked with me to help find the sweet spot of making my dreams come true within my budget. They were professional, respectful, and incredibly talented I strongly recommend working with them!
I had my May 2022 wedding at the Art Factory in Paterson, NJ and I couldn't have done it without Martiza and her team! Their experience of my venue allowed my planning team to be p...
repared for EVERYTHING and their beautiful arrangements and decor contributions just blew everyone away. Grateful for her team for going above and beyond and making my wedding dreams come true.
The team was very professional and the arrangements were topics of discussion the evening of and days after. Each centerpiece was a statement piece.
Thank you!
I came to know the Ritz-Walton Wedding Collection through my wedding planner/Coordinator Natasha from WeddingsbyNatasha. I loved how they made me feel like I was the only bride in ...
the world. They worked diligently to make sure that my wedding was the way I wanted. The theme of my wedding was romance and they ensured that my vision came to life. Maritza was amazing with being super responsive and patient with the many changes I made from beginning to end. I will never forget the moment when my bouquet was presented to me in my bridal suite. It was so beautiful that I cried. My guests and in-laws were amazed at how beautiful the flowers at the wedding came out. The unforgettable moments and professional, heartfelt services of the Ritz-Walton Wedding Collection are what all brides need as they plan and go through their special day.
1 month later I am still on Cloud 9 . Maritza and her team outdid themselves my vision came to life plus more. My family and friends are still Raving about how beautiful my ceremon...
y and reception space was. My husband and I were completely blown away. Book Ritz-Walton for your wedding today you will not be disappointed!!!
Before selecting a florist I visited three other florists. No one neared Ritz Walton as far as professionalism or rates! Each time we had a meeting I felt reassured that everything...
would come together as discussed. Maritza was very patient with trying to understand my vision and her proposal layout was beyond professional; prompt and captured our dream wedding. We continue to meet as the date neared for any updates which she was always very understanding about. My husband and I cannot believe how beautiful everything came out. Absolutely breathtaking!!! Absolutely beyond this world!!! This was truly the fairytale wedding that I never thought I would have but thanks to Maritza and the team she really made it happen. I look back on the photos all the time and just smile because the flowers were so beautiful. Maritza and team thank you so much again for making our day everything and beyond what we discussed. I’ll be sure to use you again for any possible event. You really made our dream come true. Thank you thank you thank you.
It was so great to have Maritza and her team at my wedding. I loved everything which was no surprise. It’s always been a great experience working with her as a photographer and I’m...
happy to finally work with her as a bride!
Our florals were one of the highlights of our event. We asked the Ritz Walton Collective to put together an installation on the staircase when you walked into our reception venue a...
nd it exceeded my wildest dreams. Our photos there are incredible and the flowers truly tied everything together. My biggest suggestion is to bring inspiration photos to your consultation because everything that we gave a photo for, they captured exactly what we wanted or made it even better. We added on a dog collar at the last minute without a photo and unfortunately, it was too heavy for our medium sized rescue poodle mix and we had to pull a lot of it out in order for him to stop scratching at it before he went down the aisle. My bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets were absolutely stunning. My church has never looked better and the centerpieces were breathtaking. There is no feeling more magical than walking into your wedding and having it look better than you ever could have imagined and that is exactly what we got from the Ritz Walton Collective. On top of the beautiful work that they do, the business is run by a group of badass women and you can tell just how much they care about each other and what they do in every interaction. We absolutely recommend them!
When you are planning a wedding it isn’t enough to have a great venue, you have to add one of a kind aspects to really emphasize the beauty of your special day. One of the best way...
s to do that is with flowers. When it comes to floral decor, the buck stops at Ritzwalton. I can not begin to tell you how amazing the flowers were that Maritza provided for our big day. Maritza was absolutely wonderful to work with and truly made our wedding day experience beyond memorable. From our initial meeting, she was patient, attentive, flexible, and presented us with a ton of beautiful ideas that aligned with our vision.
Maritza’s creativity by way of her spectacular floral designs and arrangements was the icing on our perfect day. On the day of our wedding, when it was time for us to see our ceremony space for the first time, the room was nothing short of breathtaking. Her attention to detail is superior and the floral presentation really stole the show. Maritza listened to our ideas, tweaked them, and made them better. We weren’t the only ones in awe of Maritza’s beautiful work. In fact, one of our guests even said that the floral designs and arrangements were so beautiful that they didn’t even want to touch them. Choosing Maritza’s floral services to decorate our wedding far exceeded our expectations. We have no doubt that she can transform any event into a dream that you wouldn’t want to wake up from. To be fully transparent, the flowers she provided were the best money we spent. If you choose Ritzwalton it will be one of the best decisions you’ve made. Her talents with flowers are purely a gift from God— it’s sincerely the only way I can explain it.

of flowers she was planning to work with for my wedding, to nailing down final logistic details with Miss A--Ritz-Walton made the whole process so easy and comfortable. Staying within budget was really important to me, and Ritz-Walton made it work without cutting any corners. And the final product: WOW! Ritz-Walton really went above and beyond my expectations. Even despite a hurricane that had damaged their offices the day before, Ritz-Walton delivered the floral landscape of my dreams. No one could stop talking about the giant cascading bouquet Maritza designed for me! Everything from the ceremony background to the reception centerpieces and cake decorations were perfect. Thank you so much, Ritz-Walton, for giving us the most beautiful wedding!!!

pectations. I had a hiccup with my venue and Maritza was sooo helpful and understanding of changes that had to be made. She went above and beyond to make sure that the venue looked beautiful despite the challenges. The team put in a lot of time and effort into our day - I am beyond grateful!
Ritz-Walton provided design and floral for my bouquets, boutonnieres, table decor/runners, sweetheart table, ceremony arch and more. The choice of flowers and decor were spot on with my color pallet. Everything was executed gorgeously. My bouquets were to die for! I absolutely loved them!
I HIGHLY recommend Ritz-Walton Collection for all party planning, decor and floral services. Book them! You will not be disappointed. The team is professional, timely and very easy to work. The process from initial contact to sharing my vision and finally booking was seamless.
Special shout out to Maritza who was so kind and helpful throughout this journey! Thank you so much for all your help leading up to and for making sure my wedding day was beautiful!

a provided my dream floral decor that I dreamed of. The ambiance that was created in the room was one I could only dreamed of. Thankfully, Maritza and her wonderful, hardworking, dedicated and passionate team made it a reality. The day of coordinators were on point from the few months prior we began working together for final touches and details. What a great experience to work with the RitzWaltoncollection.
What can I say about Ms Ritz except that she is phenomenal! I met and contracted Ritz in 2019 prior to my 2020 wedding which then was rescheduled to 2021. From Day 1, Ritz provided...

Where do I begin… From the first call to Maritza, until the last hug at my wedding my experience was nothing more than wonderful. Maritza is kind, loving, and a PROFESSIONAL to say...
the least. She was responsive to my every call and met all my needs & wants. She brought my dreams into reality. My bouquet of Red Roses was stunning, and my bridal party bouquets were absolutely beautiful. The centerpieces and table runners were masterpieces and added the final touch to the decor. The colors were so rich and bountiful. The level of service was impeccable. I just loved working with Maritza and her team. I highly recommend RitzWalton to all brides.

pull my vision to life exactly how I imagined. She also put together a private meeting for me to set up a mock table to show me what my arrangements would look like on my special day. What a magical touch. Along the way I was able to meet her team and they are a direct reflection of her! If you are looking for a stress free hardworking team to deliver on your dream day she’s the one to chose! Thank you to all who helped on this special day. I am thankful .

talented! Their energy and amazing personality will brighten your day. Working with them is fun and easy, they listen to your ideas and just make them ten times better than you could ever imagine. Their creativity is out of this world and magical!!! The flowers were gorgeous , open, and fresh. They created a stunning seating area with a floral arch for when it came time to open my gifts. It was a photo moment and huge hit. Nellie & Maritza arrived super early to help set up and then even stayed late and made bouquets for the ladies that wanted them with the remaining flowers from the arch. I am so happy to have found them and know you will too. They are our favorite vendors thus far!!! My fiancé and I are so excited for our September wedding because we get to work with them again!!
My wife and I were blown away by the amazing work that the team with Ritz-Walton did at our wedding. We originally reached out to them because their work that we saw online was ori...
ginal and many others had a standard feel. When we met with Maritza we were sold! She was friendly and professional. She asked us for our inspirations and styles that we like. She allowed us to be specific with some details and we asked her to use her design sense to do something spectacular, but “spectacular” doesn’t begin to describe what we found when we entered the chapel and again at the reception. We were truly floored. The team that came to the venue was efficient and professional but also friendly and engaging. They weren’t just people in the background; their engaging personalities actually enhanced our amazing day (speaking about the ladies who set the design and the young guys who did the setup and breakdown). We have not seen a more beautiful and unique setup in person or in a movie and give our highest recommendation! (Pics to follow!)
I hired Ritz-Walton Collection in 2019 for my March 14, 2021 wedding. It has been a pleasure ever since. Ritz-Walton Collection is the epitome of what a wedding planner/floral desi...
gn company should be. From the bouquets, to the boutonnières, a corsage for my mother-in-law, flower girl petals and two large floral arrangements for my wedding ceremony.... everything was perfect. I was ecstatic with the results. Their level of professionalism is impeccable! The Ritz-Walton Collection is highly regarded, respected and recommended.

eate, I knew I had to have her for my special day. Through all of the crazy 2020 presented she kept in touch, was flexible, warm and understanding. My husband and I decided to have a Minimony this year and she turned the petite space we choose for our wedding into a secret garden! It was gorgeous and really was more than I could have asked for. The assortment of flowers provided the vibrant look we wanted, the palette was chic, my bouquet was beautiful, lush, bold and incredibly fresh-exactly what I envisioned. Her team was efficient, punctual and everything from setup to breakdown was seamless. Maritza was extremely receptive to my ideas and concerns. All of the things you would want in a wedding professional! This review is only a snapshot of what I could write but I want you to know choosing TRWC is truly what made my day. Maritza, thank you for showing up in grand way for us and truly going above and beyond :) I cannot wait to work with you again.
Speechless, in awe, completely blown away are just a few ways we can express how we felt on our big day. We met Maritza over a year ago, and from the moment we met we felt complet...
ely comfortable and just knew she'd bring the wow factor to our wedding day. And oh boy did she bring the wow! During our room reveal my wife was in such awe that she shed tears of joy. We can't thank Maritza and the Ritz-Walton Collection Team enough for making our day so special and unforgettable! To top it all off, we walked away with a new friend for life! Everything was absolutely picture perfect and everything we envisioned.
Maritza is the best choice I made for my wedding. From long before the wedding, through making the choice to postpone our reception due to the pandemic to completely revising our c...
eremony plan to fit my parents backyard--Maritza was there for all of it.
I contracted with Maritza because efficiency is one of my favorite words and her company embodies that. She provided services for day of coordination and designing and providing drop dead gorgeous florals and then there were the extras. Having to travel from DC home to NJ for our engagement shoot, it was a hard fought thing to have a day where the weather cooperated with us even after having to already postpone due to the pandemic. Maritza was kind enough to give us access to the perfect shoot location at the last minute. She also provided a reference to the stylist who did my hair for the engagement shoot and later, our marriage ceremony too.
Then comes our ceremony-- being in the midst of a pandemic Maritza stood by us and exhibited such patience with us through all the back and forth and of figuring out where the ceremony would be and so many other dynamics typical of a family wedding. All the while, her focus was on me and not the suggestions being made by other people and I can barely put into words how much I appreciated that. That was the planning and then there was the day of--- OH MY GOODNESS!!! Maritza and her team transformed my parents home. Not just the backyard but the front of the house where our first look was and the backyard where the ceremony was and the inside was properly staged for dressing and not feeling it just another day at home. Ultimately, Maritza stayed true to my vision and I am so thankful.
I can't wait to work with her again on other big life related events and will refer to her whoever else I can.
