Located right in the Terminal Tower complex in the heart of Downtown Cleveland, The Ritz Carlton Hotel has been a premier destination for refined, elegant weddings for many years. The recently updated decor is classically chic and inviting. One thing we have noticed as photographers is that the staff at the Ritz works extremely hard to make absolutely sure that every last detail of the day is accounted for and that every need is met before it arrises.
Rooms and Suites
The rooms are spacious, well appointed, and serve as the perfect spot to prepare for your wedding day. Larger bridal parties sometimes make use of the meeting rooms on the seventh floor. These rooms offer ample window light and plenty of space for multiple hair and makeup chairs.
Photo Locations
The lobby area is fairly limited as a location for bridal party photos, but there are a lot of great options close by. The classic architecture along West Prospect Avenue in particular is an excellent backdrop.
Other nearby photo opportunities are:
Ceremonies
Wedding ceremonies can take place in the Radiant Room which is located on the opposite end of the lobby from the main ballroom. If offers beautiful natural light and plenty of South facing views of Downtown Cleveland.
Receptions
The main ballroom is an elegant, intimate setting for the perfect ballroom reception. The pre-function room between the lobby and the ballroom is perfect for cocktail hour. The in-house catering staff is second to none and the attention to details from the staff is unrivaled.
