    Putting on the Ritz was an amazing catering service to work with! Claudia was so easy to work with and communicated so efficiently with us throughout the whole planning process. They were flexible and able to accommodate our requests to create the perfect menu for our wedding day. The food itself was amazing! We got tons of feedback from our guests about how great the food was, especially the cupcakes. The day-of staff was incredible! They were super attentive to all of our guests and to us in particular. Getting to enjoy our cocktail hour food was important to us and their staff made sure to bring us a plate with each of our appetizers while we were taking photos so that we could enjoy it. Everything was executed seamlessly throughout the whole event from the table settings to the bar. Highly recommend working with them!

    We had a great experience with Putting on the Ritz! The food was delicious, and they were easily able to accommodate our various family members' dietary restrictions. They helped us put together a menu we were very excited about, while being attentive to our budget. On our wedding day, they really thought of everything and we felt so taken care of. Thank you so much for helping us pull off a truly wonderful event!

    Putting on the Ritz is the caterer at the venue we chose, and we couldn’t be happier. Throughout the planning process, they were responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. The food was delicious and gorgeous, with a nice variety of options. I (bride) am vegetarian, and it was essential that we find a caterer who could provide delicious veggie options - they definitely hit the mark! They were also attentive to dietary restrictions and allergies some of our guests have. The tables looked gorgeous when set up by the staff and their dinner, bar, and cake service was seamless. I'd highly recommend Putting on the Ritz to other couples planning their special event.

    Putting on the Ritz catered our wedding and their food was so good! I worked with Mila and Mindy during the process and thoroughly enjoyed working with them! Guest enjoyed the food (especially the Hors d'oeuvres—those meatballs and cheese/bean quesadillas were gone so quickly lol) ! There was plenty to go around though. And the guests loved the assorted cupcakes (the cake was provided by someone else) and bartending services! There were was internal changes with staffing over the time we hired them to the wedding day, but that did not create any issues. It seemed they had a smooth communication system and everything we agreed on during the tasting was exactly what we had at the wedding. No mistakes, no miscommunications, and any questions that needed clarity were asked and confirmed to myself and my event coordinator. They were timely, their staff was attentive and helpful, were reasonably priced, and they provide all the table clothes, china, silverware/utensils, and drinking glasses (all included and customizable). I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an event caterer in the area!
