Putting on the Ritz ,Catering

Bobby, my husband and I cannot thank you enough for you and your staff making Selena and Matt's wedding Day (4/20/13) celebration a Wow Factor! They could not get over how your staff treated them so special. The Buffet was setup so lovely and the food was outstanding! No one went home hungry!!! You setup the ballroom so beautiful with all the linens, china, glassware, etc. We loved how you had two open bars setup. Our guest never had to wait in line for a drink! Your staff was so pleasent to everyone and didn't miss a beat when it came to any of our needs. You are the BEST!!!! Thank you and God Bless! Patty and Stacey

I had an amazing experience with POTR, from beginning to end. I was impressed since Day 1. What drew me to POTR initially was the great ratings, the cost, and how wonderful EVERYthing tasted when we went in for our initial meeting/tasting. The interaction with Bobby throughout was wonderful. I would email him often with questions or concerns and never had to worry about him replying. He was so quick! The day of the wedding... everyone had nothing but great things to say about the food - That really made my husband and I feel GREAT to know that everyone enjoyed their food so much. One of the comments that stood out to me was "I've been to several weddings - NEVER have I had food as good as this!" Thanks again POTR - Awesome job!

My husband and I loved working with Putting on the Ritz. We were so thrilled by the level or service we received both in the planning and execution of our event.

Working with Cate was wonderful, she answered all our questions, was incredibly accommodating, and went out of her way to make our day run smoothly. Knowing the set-up and catering of our reception was in her hands took all the stress off. There were lots of things to worry about leading up to our big day, but thanks to Putting on the Ritz, the reception wasn’t one of them.

AND...the food was amazing. I was worried that they wouldn't be able to make the meals for 100+ guests taste and look as awesome as it was when they were only cooking for two of us at the tasting, but I was wrong. All of our guests raved about the food (a rare occurrence in our family). In addition, they were also a great resource about other vendors and worked well with everyone.

We can’t say enough good things about our experience. So thank you to Cate and the Putting on the Ritz team for being so accommodating, responsive, professional, and thoughtful (right down to saving us some of each of the appetizers at our sweetheart table so we could try them since we were out with the photographer during the cocktail hour).

Not only did we feel taken care of during every step of the process, Putting on the Ritz made our wedding a unique experience that reflected who we were (rather than another cookie cutter reception) AND they did it all within our budget, which as I’ve learned during this process is an rare find. Thank you for giving us the most stress-free and memorable day we could imagine. I would recommend them to everyone!

Putting on the Ritz did a fantastic job of making our wedding reception run smoothly! The food was amazing and the service was spectacular. We have heard from several of our guests about how much they enjoyed the food and how great the staff was. They took care of everything from setting up our centerpieces to making sure the music stopped and started at the right points. Much more than we expected!! We really appreciate everything the staff did for us throughout the whole process. We highly recommend them! Thanks again for making our event so memorable!

We were so impressed by not only the quality of the food provided by Putting on the Ritz but also by the staff at the event. They thought of every detail so that we did not have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. I cannot recommend them enough! From the food, to the service, to the worry free environment they provided I was extremely impressed!

The business name says it all! Working with Putting on the Ritz was amazing. They really offer a personal touch to the services they provide and are EXTREMELY flexible with meeting the needs of their clients. Nothing like a peace of mind during the chaos of wedding planning. All of our wedding guests have been raving about their excellent service and food quality and thats what makes everything worthwhile. I can't wait to find a reason to use them again!

From the beginning of planning to the very last dance it was an absolute pleasure to work with Angie Wise at putting on the Ritz. Everyone is still raving about the venue and amazing food. I've been told it was the best food at any wedding they've ever been too. We couldn't have been more happy with our special day.

Angie helped to make the process easy and seamless for us. She was prompt in responding to our questions and was awesome to work with.

Rachel was amazing and I will definitely recommend this catering company as well as her to my friends and family!

We just had our wedding at the Historic Savage Mill Manor House with the catering provided by Puttin' on the Ritz (POTR) The staff at POTR made the entire process completely stress free for us and they were very easy going and accommodating when I started to stress out about small details. Events are their business and they know what types of things can go wrong and they are able to offer advice and solutions to you for consideration. The prices are reasonable and they will work within your established budget. Our guests are still raving about how delicious the food was during the cocktail hour and the reception. We would definitely use the venue and the caterer again for another event.

Food was even better at the event than it was at the tasting; all our guests have complimented the delicious food & lovely presentation. Bobby Mitchell & crew were easy to deal with at every stage of the process. He responded to our very first inquiry quickly, with good menu suggestions hardly altered later. Emails & phone calls were answered promptly. Meetings easy to set up. We combined several colors of their beautiful linens just as we asked. We brought our own unusual handmade table decorations (centerpieces, table number flags,lights, individual party favors & flowers), & they followed directions for set-up to the letter, & finished sooner than expected. (We arrived early to assist & it was ALL done--including placecards!) Servers & bartenders were friendly & efficient. They even brought back to our table courses that had already been cleared while we were away greeting guests. They worked well with venue personnel, DJ & entertainment (dancer), & checked in with us all evening to make sure things were going well. Due to several no-show guests, they even gave us some leftover entrees & desserts. All in all an excellent experience with down-to-earth people who really know how to make a memorable meal & event!

Everything was perfect! The venue was beautiful and exactly what I had pictured for my wedding. The food was excellent, all the guests thought the roast beef was the best. I would recommend Putting On The Ritz.

We worked with Putting on the Ritz as they were primary caterers at our venue space, The Great Room. GREAT food, we heard rave reviews from our guests and we loved it ourselves. Angie (wedding coordinator at The Great Room) was amazing and really helped to put everything together. POTR was one of the only caterers that let us supplement with our own liqueur, really helped with cost. Willing to work with a budget, have great options for every budget, and all food was great. Waitstaff was very professional and cohesive. Highly recommend POTR especially at The Great Room.

I have nothing but good things to say about POTR. We had our wedding at the Historic Savage Mill Manor and they did a great job. They did a wonderful job setting up all my decor and the colors were beautiful. The way they set up each room is awesome. It looked beautiful. The food is DELISHES!!! All our guests absolutely loved the place and loved the food. The staff was amazing the night of my wedding, it was a wonderful night. If your having a big or small wedding, i would recommend them.

They provided excellent food for our wedding. As well as a professional staff.. all of our guests were very impressed

Putting on the Ritz catered my wedding at The Great Room in Savage, MD. They did a fabulous job and it was great to have a dual entree for the meal. Everyone loved the food and people were raving about the mashed potatoes. The filet was delicious and we even ate leftovers days later and it still had great flavor. The staff did a fantastic job of serving everyone and meeting all of our requests. One of my guests said it was the best food she had ever eaten at a wedding! I would highly recommend their catering services!

It might seem unbelievable to give them 5 stars in everything, but they do a terrific job. The food was delicious and the price was reasonable.

Putting on the Ritz Catering was exceptional. The food is tasty and the staff is warm and friendly.

Bobby, Sue, Leslie and Wendy did an OUTSTANDING job on our wedding. The food was so delicious and tasteful; our wedding guest are still talking about it especially the crap dip and artichoke dip. We had their chicken marsala which is very very tasty with the penne pasta and wood grilled vegetables. Bobby has been an instrumental piece throughout our whole planning process. We even had a mishap with our photographer the day of the wedding and he allowed us to come back to the venue to re-take our wedding photos which we are graciously thankful. I would absolutely recommend them 1000 times. You can not go wrong and their customer service is world class. They make sure you are a happy customer and will go the extra mile.


Thank Bobby and the Putting on the Ritz...

Putting on the Ritz came highly recommended and did not disappoint. The food and service were excellent. My daughter, son in law, family and friends were extremely pleased.

Thanks Bobby Mitchell and staff for making my daughter the event to remember.

Monica

If you think you have a caterer and it's not Putting on the Ritz... think again! Five stars across the board... and their crab dip is amaizing! Only catering service we would recommend. A must have:)

Cate and her staff were excellent in every regard. True professionals who handled every detail and change, including the ones that came up at the last minute, in an efficient manner and with a readiness to please. The food was delicious and properly prepared. I would highly recommend.

I could not be more pleased with Bobby and Putting on the Ritz Catering!! The food, table settings, and service were unbelievable for an affordable price! They had to set up a lot of decorations for us and put them all together so perfectly I didn't have to worry about a thing! Everyone was very professional, I could not be happier!

Not only was their food great, but the prices were very reasonable. From the elegant set up, delicious food, and friendly staff, my guests were raving about them! We were so lucky to have them cater our wedding. Thank you for making by day so enjoyable and beautiful!

Our guests can not stop talking about how wonderful the food and presentation was at our wedding. Bobby and his crew did a wonderful job and made the day a complete success. The appetizers were to die for, and the main course was the biggest success we could hope for, even to having a crab cake in Baltimore:) Some of our guests had weddings in the past, and they were amazed that the owner was actually present at our wedding, having experienced the owner promising to be present but then having to get called away at the last minute. One of our friends owns a restaurant and commented that he would hire Bobby's staff in a minute because of their work ethic and professionalism. The food was a marvelous success and Bobby allowed us to relax during this stressful day. Bobby and his staff were very attentive to our needs, and worked with us all of the way during the planning.

There food was amazing! Everyone that I have seen or talked to since the wedding has said that the food was amazing and was surprised that it did not taste like typical wedding food. Another plus is that the cater gives you all of the left over food after the wedding so nothing is thrown away. I still love the food even after eating it a couple of days. Use them if you would like to have amazing food on your day!

The food was delicious!
The waiters were so professional and helpful!
Although the affair was "station" style, we were so tended to, it felt like one-to-one service. I was asked if I needed drinks and food throughout the night. The servers were polite and nice and very accommodating. The head server was absolutely top-notch. Unfortunately I don't have her name, but she completely blew me way.
Angie Wise oversees the operations and she is one of a kind and an absolute gem. Words cannot express my gratitude for her and all of the help she and wonderful service she provided.

Did I mention the food? YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Putting on the Ritz catered my wedding in July at The Great Room and the food and service was superb. I was actually able to eat and enjoyed every bite! All our guests commented on how wonderful the food was and how lovely everything was managed/displayed. The pricing was extremely reasonable and they allowed us to choose the level of bar purchased and supplement other liqour as wanted, which was a real plus! Great food, great people/service, and excellent overall quality!

POTR was PHENOMENAL! Over two weeks later we are still getting compliments on their professionalism and of course on the wonderful FOOD - particularly the shrimp and grits, crab balls, and salmon! Bobby and was amazingly helpful along the way and worked with us to design a menu that was within our budget and our taste. He and his staff, including Sue are phenomenal and I couldn't have asked for better service.

They even packed a plate for my husband and I to take home after the wedding because as you will learn, there was not much time for us to eat during the actual reception between greeting guests and taking pictures.

Every detail from the linens to the floorplans were thoroughly reviewed and despite his busy schedule Bobby was incredibly responsive and accommodating - even attending our final walk-through. You will not be disappointed with this vendor!! :)

I am very glad we hired Putting on the Ritz for our wedding. Their staff was very professional and through out the planning process and on our wedding day I felt that everything was well taken care of. The venue, Savage Mill Manor, provided a great back drop to our ceremony and reception. The food was delicious and well presented and all of our guests had nothing but good things to say. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely hire them again!

They made our dreams come to life with the set up at 10 Oaks Ballroom in Clarksville, MD and guided us through everything. They made sure that we got to eat and were there for us if we needed anything. The food was OUTSTANDING and all our guests were really impressed with the professionalism and beauty of making the bride and grooms day so perfect!!

Putting on the Ritz is great! My daughter's reception went off w/out a hitch! Angie and her crew made sure that we didn't have to do a single thing at the reception except enjoy ourselves. They adjusted the schedule of reception activities to flow just right. I am still hearing rave reviews about the food (we had stations) being the best they ever had at a wedding, etc. The Great room venue is rustic and charming and the price was a great value. If there is one complaint we had, it is that being an old building, the AC really couldn't get quite cool enough for all the guests we had and the hot weather. It was definately on, and it was fine. I would not let that be a determining factor in choosing this venue. The reception was spactacular!! Everything we hoped for and more!!

Putting on the Ritz/Bobby Mitchell and his team were absolutely fabulous to work with. They were extremely flexible and accomodating, especially with our last minute changes. Putting on the Ritz food is phenominal! Our guests were so impressed and couldn't say enough about the food and service provided. I highly recommend the station style buffet we had. You won't be disappointed!

The pricing was great because it included so much variety of food, basic linens, and china. The people on duty were nice and the event's manager was very helpful. When our wedding cake provider failed to deliver service and build a stable cake, it was the caterer trying to save the cake from falling over and trying to find ways to keep it stable until we had to cut it. The company has a number of great linens and we only had to pay a small additional fee for the upgrade from the non-basic linens that were included in the pricing. Plus they also kept with my idea for different napkins colorings between tables. Everyone kept telling us how they greatly enjoyed the food (I wish I could have eaten more myself) and they even had a kids plate option that worked out great!

Bobby, Sue, and Wendy were very helpful during the entire process. I chose another caterer initially, but when they went out of business unexpectedly 3 months before our wedding, POTR was recommended to me by them. Bobby Mitchell took good care of us from start to finish. He was able to make the similar menu we had with the other caterer and everything tasted so good! All of my guests raved about the food!

Cate was easy going and even recommended the day of planner we used Rachel from Plan it Perfect. The food was amazing and the dessert buffet was a hit we had very little cake left. We had two bars during cocktail hour and one bar for the remainder of the wedding.The bartender after dinner was flexible but we could have used one more bartender with the crowd we had :) Cate packed up any left over food and we had some great dinners even after our big day!
Thank you Keith and Jamie...

My original caterer closed their business 4 months before the wedding and, fortunately, gave me back my full deposit. But I was left with finding a new caterer during a busy wedding time of early May. Luckily, a friend referred me to Bobby Mitchell of Putting on the Ritz. I had seen them before but thought that they would be out of my price range so I hadn't even considered them. Bobby pretty much matched the price and his package actually contained much more than my original caterer was going to. We delivered the centerpieces to their office ahead of time and they had to put them together as we showed them in pictures. They really went above and beyond with getting the room ready and it looked just like my daughter imagined and hoped that it would. The food was great - garlic mashed potatoes, grilled vegs and chicken marsala - all big hits. People were raving about the food. Things happen for a reason and I'm so glad that we ended up using Putting on the Ritz!

The food was AMAZING!!! I couldn't have asked for better on our special day!

This is the best venue ever. My husband and I went to different places and felt that we would not find a great place for a good price, but The Great Room has it all, great prices, great food, great service!! This is absolutely the best place, I was super skeptical at first because of all the good reviews and assumed that maybe it was just too good to be true, but honestly this is a wonderful venue. The venue is large and open ready to fit up to tons of people (we had a wedding of 120 people, a photo booth, dessert table, bar, DJ, etc. and still could fit more people). The windows are large and beautiful that fills the room with natural light, but even if you aren’t going to have a lunch affair (Like we did) the windows are gorgeous and the décor is very neutral so you don’t have to worry about anything clashing with your wedding colors. The whole place “Savage Mill” is beautiful for pictures and for people to peruse and meander around and never get bored. Angie our wedding coordinator was absolutely fantastic and helped us through every step of the way and made sure that everything was taken care of. We gave her the décor and she set it up for is and it looked wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious too and we kept getting complements after complements. The honey almond crusted chicken was a huge hit/ everyone loved this and said it was moist, the soy lacquered salmon was amazing/ light and delicious and packed with flavor and cooked to perfection, the asagio mashed potatoes were to die for/ creamy and delicious and filling; the green bean almondine was cooked perfectly; the Caesar salad was amazing it was more dressed than I like it but it tasted wonderfully, it didn’t taste generic or anything (there was also a artichoke dip we didn’t get to try, but everyone loved it). The table settings, the choice of linens was amazing, it was great that there was no corking fee, no linen renting fee, no chair or table rental fee and no cake cutting fee. This place was absolutely amazing, the service was amazing, they kept coming back to the table to make sure that everyone was satisfied and it was such classy, professional, upstanding service. I could not have asked for a better wedding reception. I personally want to thank Angie for her wonderful wonderful wedding coordinating/managerial skills she is a dream to work with. If you want to be a bride with little or no stress and have a perfect wedding day I definitely recommend The Great Room ( especially Angie) and Catering by Putting on the Ritz.

Pros:
- The beautiful room
- Great Service
- Great Wedding Coordinator/ Manager (Angie)
- Great Food
- Beautiful site
- GREAT PRICE!!

Cons:
- Far from our ceremony (but not fault of The Great Room)
- wish things could have lasted longer
- wish they served the cake individually to each person instead of putting it out at the dessert bar, but that wasn't explicitly stated to anyone

The food was great and the hors d'oeuvres were amazing. This was my 2nd time having POTR catering and they definitely do not disappoint.

My guests just can't stop talking about how amazing the food was! I loved our caterer and working with Cate was the best. She was extremely helpful. She always responded back quickly and handled everything. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Putting on the Ritz instantly. They took a lot off my plate.

Our contact at Putting on the Ritz was Bobby and he was wonderful!! From the first meeting to the end of our wedding day Putting on the Ritz did a terrific job! Bobby went out of his way to meet us at our reception venue a week before the wedding to finalize the details. He let me drop off all the items (cake knives, place cards, guest book, etc.) I had for our reception at his office when it was convenient for me. I gave him photos of how I wanted everything set up and everything was set up exactly how I wanted. I didn't give much direction to how the ballroom would be set up and Putting on the Ritz did a beautiful job! We had a little room for the bridal for the bridal party to go into before we were announced and Putting on the Ritz had food and drink in the room waiting for us. At the end of the wedding they gathered all my items and placed it on a table for my mom to take home, very easy and stress free!

I had so many compliments about the food! Most brides don't eat on their wedding day, but I have to say I ate a lot more than I thought I would that day!

What can I say. Our guests could not stop talking about how great the food tasted and how well it was presented. The wait staff were attentive through out the evening from the cocktail hour to the seated dinner and afterwards. Bobby helped with the selection of table linens and a last minute request for a small table to be used during the ceremony - he was definitely a calming influence for me. I would recommend Putting on the Ritz for any event that you might have if you want great tasting food with great service.

Please, please hire Puttin' on the Ritz! The food was delicious- butter poached pear salad, black pepper crusted sirloin, crab cake, and asiago mashed potatoes (yuuuumm!), all excellent. And it all came out hot and fresh, not like the rubbery steaks I've had at some wedding :-) Perhaps more importantly, Cate is the awesomest catering manager ever. She made the day go so smoothly, and without us having to think or worry about things. She made sure we got dinner (God bless her), and had appetizers and drinks available to the wedding party during pictures. She also had lots of great suggestions throughout the planning process, all of which we were glad we took. I'm so glad we picked them!

We had our ceremony on the deck of the Great Room, and then the reception in The Great Room. Everything was amazing. Angie is a fantastic coordinator and was very patient and knowledgable. The food was fantastic and everyone loved the room.

food was amazing...got so many compliments on it all night long! great service, easy to get a hold of. highly recommend.

Attention Future Brides, if you have not heard of Putting on the Ritz, Catering, it is my personal opinion that they should be one of your top vendors to consider. They truly have a passion for what they do and the passion stretches from Chef Ned throughout every member of their staff, especially from Karen the Catering Manager. I guarantee if you hire Putting on the Ritz, you will not have to worry about how your day will go. They provided above and beyond customer service and my guests are still raving about our brunch reception. Our day was amazing because of their stellar contributions.

Our food was AMAZING! Our guests have been raving about the food and we couldn't be happier! The staff was attentive and professional. I highly recommend Putting on the Ritz!

Putting on the Ritz is fantastic in EVERY way. Please ask for Karen Foulkrod because she is the BEST in the business. Your wedding will turn out perfect if you have her in charge. She gets things done and knows the business better than most. The food was EXCELLENT and all I have gotten were comments from all of my guest of how good it was. We had our ceremony and reception at Ten Oaks and she also referred my officiant, Laura Cannon, to me and they all worked together and it was perfect.

Bobby and Sue from putting on the Ritz are FANTASTIC!!! They helped me create the perfect wedding from the get-go. We did the station option and Bobby helped us to personalize and put together a menu that was exactly what we wanted. Bobby also helped me to create a look for the reception that was stunning. Every time I needed help or answers to questions, Bobby and Sue were right there, willing to help. The actual reception was wonderful- EVERYONE was raving about the food, even our chef and foodie friends- which is a HUGE compliment. I would recommend Bobby and Putting on the Ritz to all of my family and friends getting married that need a caterer. ~Amy Noto

Cate and the entire staff from Putting on the Ritz were fabulous to work with from start to finish. Cate and the head chef were excited to help us craft a special menu for our guests. The chef even showed up at the reception to provide a pork tenderloin carving station, which was unexpected and such a wonderful touch. Our guests raved about the food and level of service all night and the compliments are continuing to roll in 3 weeks later! Cate is simply the best. Her professionalism, flexibility, responsiveness, and creativity far exceeded our expectations. Prior to joining POTR she was a wedding planner, and it shows in everything she does. To further underscore the quality of POTR it is worth noting that they were forced to set up in a very short period of time because the manager at our venue would not allow them to enter the building until another event had been completely cleaned up. This was an unwelcome surprise to POTR and us, but Cate and her staff handled it expertly. We never saw them sweat! In the future, we will definitely look to POTR for our catering needs and we encourage anyone reading this to do the same!

Putting on the Ritz was awesome in every aspect. They kept us informed all the way through the process. They had a can-do attitude and went above and beyond our expectations.

THE FOOD WAS AMAZING AND WE GOT NOTHING BUT COMPLIMENTS ABOUT HOW IT GREAT THE FOOD TASTED AS WELL AS HOW WONDERFUL THE STAFF WAS. I HEARD HOW FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL THE STAFF WAS ALL DAY.

Cate was FABULOUS from beginning to end! She was very responsive and flexible when I changed my mind or came up with new ideas during the planning. She even drove out to my venue to check it out, even though I couldn't be there to meet her. The food was FANTASTIC and the staff were extremely courtious, polite, and professional. Every staff member I encountered at my reception personally congratulated me, which I found very kind.
The set-up transformed the room, and I didn't even order anything "extra" or special. I was happily stunned when I walked into the reception room! So many of our guests commented on how wonderful the food was; even people that don't like "wedding food", and the value was incredible. I priced 3 catering companies and Putting on the Ritz was the most affordable, yet there was no scrimping on service or taste!
You will NOT be disappointed- and make sure you order the assorted cookies for dessert- they are AMAZING!

Putting on the Ritz staff was professional and attentive. Our wedding guests raved about the food and the quality of service!

We got married and had our ceremony in The Great Room in Savage Mill. The room was absolutely stunning when all the lights were on and tables were decorated. The food was delicious. The tasting is not until after you book, but no worries everything was so good that we had trouble narrowing down what we would put on the buffet.

Wow. Cate from POTR was so crucial in our wedding going smoothly. I didn't have a coordinator or planner, but Cate stepped in to offer us advice and help everystep of the way. She went way above and beyond the call of duty to help us. And the food was amazing. I received so many compliments that the food was delicious, everyone raved about the steak! I highly recommend trying that out! She frequently checked in with me and my husband to make sure we had a drink in our hand and had gotten enough to eat.

We did a buffet which was really great b/c everyone got to try a few things on the menu. The servers and bartender and chefs were very professional and were very much on top of their game.

Cate worked really closely with our dj and photographer and all of our vendors to make sure the day was perfect. I cannot say enough about how great she was. I felt 10 million times calmer knowing that she was behind the scenes taking care of everything. She was a wedding planner/coordinator previously, and you can tell she was great at it. She still is!!! Try to get her if you go with POTR. Oh, we also dropped off all of our centerpieces beforehand and she nailed the set up, which was a tough job b/c it was not your traditional display!

Anyway, we love, love, loved working with Putting on the Ritz and Cate!!!!

worked with us to personalize our event. food was delicious. room was beautiful. They had to turn over ceremony space for reception and it was a very smooth transition

The food was fantastic! I'm still getting rave reviews from guests at our wedding, especially the asiago mashed potatoes! The room set up was beautiful and everyone was very professional! I would recommend POTR to anyone!

We worked with Putting on the Ritz through the Great Room at Savage Mill. While we didn't actually work directly with anyone at the company (everything was done through the Great Room manager), the food for our dinner reception was absolutely amazing. My husband and I made sure to take the time to eat our meal at the reception, because we could not think about missing out on the food! We got so many compliments from the guests that our wedding food was the best they'd ever had!

The food was top-notch, center pieces were outrageously good and the staff was very accomodating. We would use their services again and we'd recommend them to others.

I can't say enough about Putting on the Ritz. Karen and her staff were incredible. They worked so hard to give us the wedding of our dreams!! Our guests were all amazed at how good the food was and how wonderfully everything was set up. I would reccommend Putting on the Ritz to anyone. What a great business!

Both the venue, The Great Room at Savage Mill and the caterer were fantastic. Angie could not do enough for us. I would highly recommend the caterer and the venue

I've had POTR at 2 weddings, 2 bridal shows, and most recently my wedding at the Great Room and I highly recommend them! Angie is wonderful to work with. POTR had sooo many options for whatever type of food you like and whatever your budget is. My favorites are the crab dip (incredible), cocktail meatballs, sesame chicken, and of course the garlic mashed potatoes! Angie and her staff even boxed up all of the leftovers from our wedding.

Food was fabulous- we received nothing but compliments. We would highly recommend!

Putting on the Ritz is amazing! Their food is phenomenal, Bobby was so incredibly flexible and patient with us and their professionalism cannot be beat. The company I work for has used Putting on the Ritz several times for parties thus making our decision to use them as our wedding caterer super easy. Make no mistake that they are by far the best caterer the DC/Baltimore area has! We have gotten nothing but compliments from our wedding guests and as a part time wedding planner I LOVE hearing that!!! They were early to arrive to our venue and setup everything for us. We were stress free on our wedding day and definitely have Bobby and Putting on the Ritz to thank. Highly recommended!!!

It was a pleasure working with Bobby Mitchell and his staff in planning our sons weedding. We received many compliment on the quality and quantity of the food and their impecable service.

Chris Miller & POTR did a wonderful job for our July reception. She was super nice and helpful from the beginning to the end. I would recommend POTR to everyone. Our guests raved about the delicious food, wonderful service, and beautiful venue/decorations (the Great Room at Savage Mills). Chris was very accommodating, flexible, and supportive through the entire process and I was so fortunate to have worked with her. Thanks again!

The quality of service provided by POTR far exceeded our expectations. Chris Miller, the catering manager at the Savage Mill Manor, should be highly commended for her professionalism, responsiveness, and her knowledge of weddings. Having our ceremony and reception at the "Manor" was the best decision we made. The venue provided an intimate atmosphere for our 85 guest and we received so many compliments from our guest. We can not forget to mention the quality and value of the food prepared by POTR. There were so many selections to choose from to serve to our guest. Chris provided her expertise in this area by making suggestions that were guaranteed to satisfy everyone's taste. Our guest raved over the Shrimp Martini Bar and could not get enough of the Mini Crab Cakes and Asian Beef Cups which were served as appetizers. Our guest also enjoyed the dual plated entree of Champagne Chicken and Lacqured Salmon. There was nothing to worry about on our day as everything was taken care of. We were actually able to enjoy our ceremony and reception because of Chris. POTR provided excellent catering services and we are truly thankful to have had our special day at the Savage Mill Manor with POTR. Many thanks to Chris for everything!!!!...Janice and Kalman

Putting on the Ritz provided us with delicious food that all of our guests enjoyed! From the tasting until the cake cutting we were extremely pleased with everything we tasted. They provide several choices of food to fit exactly what you are looking for. We especially loved the crab dip! :)

We highly recommend Putting on the Ritz for your wedding or next party! From our first meeting with Angie in the Great Room to the night of our wedding reception, the experience with Putting on the Ritz was outstanding. Our guests loved the service, the food and the venue (they actually thought we were OK too!!)

The evening was a wonderful beginning to "happily ever after!"

Diana and Casey

Awesome staff, amazing food! Lots of options. Creative ideas,

PERFECTION.
Accuracy.
Courteous staff.

Responsive and flexible.

They made our wedding the most amazing event after. Meet with them! You must!

The whole POTR staff is beyond fabulous!!! They went above and beyond on everything we asked and could've possibly asked for. We just love, love, love Cate!! She met our every need with flying colors. This little petite person is huge in professionalism, experience and sweetness.
Our guests had rave reviews about the food and we didn't expect less. We were truly fortunate to contract with them.

Our wedding was a complete success! Angie was great. She answered every question I had immediately. Everything challenge or obstacle I threw at her she had no problem with adjusting.

The food was exceptional and the cost was completely affordable. The servers were efficient and unobtrusive. The venue is amazing and Angie went to great lengths to create beautiful stations, decorative table pieces and even uplighting at no extra cost. We just couldn't believe it. We are so happy with the way everything turned out and couldn't ask for anything more. - Christine & Ted

Very pleased with the reception and catering. Angie was professional and incredibly helpful during the entire planning process.

Very nice to work with. Great food. Nice staff.

From the moment we contacted Angie, the coordinator of The Great Room, we were impressed by her friendliness, organization, and knowledge! Every time I had a question, she immediately responded to my emails. She had recommendations for other vendors during the beginning of our planning that were excellent. The reception itself was so beautiful. We chose The Great Room because of the character that Savage Mill possessed. The lighting, linens, and set-up of the room flowed just right. A big plus on why we chose The Great Room was the large covered deck. We actually had our cocktail hour set up on the deck! The food was incredible. People are still talking about it today. We had the beef tenderloin and crab cakes. Angie and her staff were nothing but professional and more importantly, friendly!

Chris Miller and her staff at Putting on the Ritz did an incredible job at the Savage Mill Manor for our wedding. The decorations were tasteful and matched our colors and centerpieces perfectly. The brunch menu was excellent and lived up to every expectation we had after reading the reviews. The prices were among the best we could find in the DC area.

Chris herself was a delight from beginning to end and looked after us every step of the way. She handled our special requests without a second thought and was very easy to get in touch with whenever we had a question or problem. On the big day her friendly and professional demeanor kept everything flowing smoother than we ever could have hoped for; I heard nothing but praise from our guests the entire day.

I would recommend Chris and her team at the Savage Mill Manor to anyone because I'm confident they'll be in good hands.

The food was excellent and service was great. I would definitely recommend Putting on the Ritz for your catering needs.

The food was as good the day of the wedding as it was on our tasting. When we meet with Angie the first day we felt at home and as if we were with friends. The reception was perfect. The staff was of nice and helpful. You can tell that they really take pride in what the do. From the room to the food.

Thank you so much for everything

WONDERFUL! EXCEPTIONAL! DELICIOUS! FABULOUS! GORGEOUS!

Those dear readers are just a few of the words that I can think of to describe the service that POTR provided for us on our most special day so far!

Angie was pheonomenal! I have to say, I have a very distinctive pallet, and I did request a second tasting, Angie was helpful and supportive during this entire process. The staff was awesome! We purchased the white glove package, and let me tell you, it was worth everything! The reception was held at THE GREAT ROOM, our guest are still talking about how beautiful the room looked and how great the food tasted.

The attention to detail was out of this world. Thanks to POTR, we had the wedding of our dreams. If I had to choose one word, it would be hard, but I would choose: PERFECTION!

Thank you!

Putting on the Ritz (Angie Wise) was great! She was extremely easy to work with, especially considering all the emails and questions I was constantly sending! The food was awesome, and we were able to completely customize our reception dinner - from the appetizers to dessert, and they were easily able to accomodate an important allergy. The Great Room is beautiful and they had everything we needed to make the look and feel for the reception exactly what we had hoped for! I would recommend in a heartbeat!

We had an East Coast Reception for my son and daughter-in-law who were married in Oregon in September. We chose the Savage Manor House and could not have been more pleased. Chris Miller is such an exception person and helped with every phase of the planning. Her helpful suggestions added to our special day and she absolutely convinced me that it was possible for me to relax and enjoy the event.
Chris and her staff were also exceptional on the day of the event from setting everything up to clean up and assisting us with packing up our personal items.
Needless to say, the food was outstanding and all of our guests commented on the entire event as exceptional. I would highly recommend Savage Manor and Putting on the Ritz to anyone.

Putting On The Ritz Catering company by far provided an excellent menu as well as outstanding service for our wedding reception. The menu exceeded my expectations and the service executed by the professional, dependable and very efficient staff was outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend Putting On The Ritz Catering for any special occasion.

We are so thankful that we had my daughters wedding at Savage Manor House with POTR Catering. Everything was perfect, the tables, the decor, the atmosphere, and the food. People told us how delicious the food was, and how beautiful the wedding was. Chris Miller is my new best friend! She is a treasure to work with, she was so attentive to our needs, kind, and very patient. Chris and staff wrapped up the extra food, boxed up extra flowers and left over items so that we did not have to worry about anything. The whole experience was so amazing and surpassed our expectations. I will be forever grateful.

The food for the reception was great! They made sure that the food stayed hot. The service was also great! The bride and I watched in awe as they cut the cake. They know what they are doing here. All the guests were very impressed with the Champagne as well. A little detail like this goes a long way to set the mood.

POTR did an amazing job with the catering of our wedding reception. I could not have been more happy with their services. 2nd family wedding catered by Putting on the Ritz and not one dissappointment! Highly recommended!!! Your team rocked!

Savage Mill Manor was a fantastic venue for our wedding, and everyone raved about the food prepared by Putting on the Ritz. Chris Miller was wonderful to work with! She was so receptive and attentive throughout the whole process, and having her as our day-of coordinator made the day so easy for us, and we were actually able to enjoy our own wedding, including the delicious food. So many of the guests told us afterwards that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to, and they were still calling days later to say it again.

Our ceremony and reception was held at the Manor House in Savage and the cateror Chris Miller did an AMAZING job with the food and the services of the day. I couldn't have asked for a better cateror. I got so many compliments about the food and the service. Thank you!!

They were an absolute pleasure to work with. Everyone has said how beautiful the space looked. The outside tent was a huge hit. We couldn't have been happier with Putting on the Ritz.

Everything was great!

Putting on the Ritz provided the catering service for our wedding reception. Excellent food!!!! All of our friends and families have been gushing about how good the food was that night. We had a carving station, quesadilla station and lots of yummy butlered hors d'oeuvres like mini crab cakes and mini burgers. Very flexible and willing to work with you on prices. For example, they suggested that we use disposable flatware and plates to cut down on the cost so we could put more towards food. Very professional. Potential customers should do a tasting. The food is excellent!

Food was excellent, as was the decorating and wait staff. Chris was a pleasure to work with, and made it easy. POTR also allows you to be very flexible, so you can customize a menu for what you want (i.e. not pigeon-holed into a preset menu). Cannot rave enough about their garlic mashed potatoes. :)

From the first meeting to the big day, Putting on the Ritz was extremely professional and very easy to work with. My day-of coordinator was gracious and thoughtful, helping to coordinate the events throughout the evening, making it easy for me to relax and enjoy the reception. The food was excellent, the buffet was beautiful and if I ever do another large event, this is the first company I will call for catering.

The quality of the food and the service was top notch. Many of our guests commented on the delicious food and the friendly, professional staff.
When we walked into our venue (Savage Manor House) the day of our daughter's wedding, we were overwhelmed with how fantastic it looked and the level of professionalism it took to get that way.
I would highly recommend Putting on the Ritz Catering and the venues that they serve. I only hope our next wedding will be as wonderful an experience as this one!

Working with Putting on the Ritz was a very pleasant experience. They provided exceptional value for their services and offerings as compared to other caterers. They went above and beyond what I would expect from caterers by assisting with organizing and decorations for the event. The food was delicious (many of my guests commented on how good it was). I have no complaints about their service or offering and I would highly recommend them as the caterer for your next event.

Bobby Mitchell with Putting on the Rtiz did everything he promised, plus more to make sure I had a perfect wedding day! He was always pleasant, accomodating, listened to all of my ideas and made some great suggestions. He took time to help me through all of the changes I made during the course of my wedding planning. All of the little detailed ideas I had he took and brought to life beautifully from the tea and lemonade to the candy bar! Bobby is an expert and could have charged a lot more than he did. Putting on the Ritz was excellent, affordable and friendly. I would reccomend them to anyone!

Putting on the Ritz made my wedding, easy, fun, enjoyable, and no one walked away hungry. The staff was professional curteous and was easily accessible. They definately took the worry away and made the day better for my new husband and I.

If you are reading this now, brace yourself and please read carefully (its a litte wordy BUT so worth your time)!

From the moment we found POTR at the bridal show in December of 2007 at the Great Room in Savage, Maryland my husband and I knew that there was a special connection. The stations were very appealing and the food tasted great, moreover, the staff was professional and kind. The shrimp martini bar and the sirloin display station was absolutely eye catching; so much so, that it won our hearts. That was our first bridal show that we attended, so we decided to continue researching other caterers in the metro area based on:

~ vendor qualities (reputation, operation, longevity, and experience)
~ quality / quantity of food (taste and presentation)
~ professionalism and personality of staff (welcoming and friendly)
~ services / price (packages, equipment, and style of serving)
~ client relationship (comfortable and trust worthy)

We Googled many caterers to review their ratings and found out some very interesting information. When we reviewed consumer ratings for POTR, we observed nothing but praises from different websites. Other caterers came close to meeting our criteria, but there was always something that drove them from an A to a B- when conducting our research. We must have researched more than 10 caterers in the metropolitan area but POTR met all of our needs with an award winning A+ at the end.

From the moment we met Karen Foulkrod, our event manager, our lives changed and the whole wedding process regarding the catering aspect was like walking on water. Karen was energetic, professional, funny, and very welcoming throughout our meeting. She answered all of our questions and concerns, most importantly, made us feel safe with her and the company.As the days grew closer to the wedding, we kept in contact with Karen constantly and she worked with us until the very end. She also worked very collectively with my florist (Elner Gant of Petals Floral Design) and communicated with her frequently regarding our wedding layout. We pretty much knew what we wanted, however, Karen professionally advised us on certain aspects of the wedding � but � ultimately she left the decision to us and made sure we were comfortable with the decisions that we made, moreover, everyone was on the same accord. There was never a problem when we wanted to change certain details; whether adding or subtracting something from the customized menu, the seating arrangement for the ceremony and reception, the order of service for the reception, or positioning of the wedding cake. Overall, Karen would reassure me that everything was going to be OK and not to worry about a thing.

OK...this is where it gets GOOD!

The day of the wedding�hmmm�one word � AMAZING! I�m speechless every time I think about it because of how wonderful everything was. Karen was present on our wedding day; her and the staff were phenomenal! We received so many compliments from family and friends about POTR such as, how excellent the food tasted, the set up in the foyer, the ceremony and reception layout, the bar, and much more. We were told by many of our guests that our wedding was �ONE OF THE BEST WEDDINGS they have ever been to, it was very well done, and will not be forgotten�. Let�s just put it this way�everything we have experienced throughout this journey with POTR came to life � Karen made everything possible and flawless�a dream come true.

Thank you so much POTR for making our wedding day memorable, most of all, for blessing us with an angel like Karen!

Many thanks,
Mr. & Mrs. Little

good food. he forgot my chair covers. nice presentation of food. efficient wait staff. but some of my guests said they threw away food/drinks when they weren't finished yet. also they threw away my guests' wedding favors when they weren't sitting down at their table. I paid for those!!! and for some reason still unknown to me, the bartender didnt have my signature drink. and did the bartender really have the right to limit the number of shots i wanted to order? i had open bar! i can hold my liquor..and i wanted more shots.that really disappointed me, what a party killer.

Cate is a joy to work with. I love that when giving a proposal, several choices are given, not just one as many do. They work with a couples budget to give them the best day!

Putting on the Ritz offers great catering. I have had the pleasure of working with them on a few weddings.

The are one of the most professional catering company I have come across since I have been work as a wedding and event planner.
Their food is absolutely delicious.

Not only do I recommend Putting on the Ritz to all of my wedding clients but I also used them to cater my own wedding! When a vendor uses another vendor for their own personal event that says a lot about the quality of their service. The service and the food is wonderful.

Putting on the Ritz is great! Super easy to work with and some delicious food. Make an appointment with them and have some fun. Cate and her team are awesome!

I've had the pleasure of working with the staff of Putting on the Ritz on numerous occasions, and they are nothing less than stellar! The food is absolutely delicious, and beautiful. Being a wedding photographer, I'm exposed to numerous catering companies every year, and by far Putting on the Ritz is one of the best. You have to try the mashed potatoes!

I am always in awe of the innovative cuisine that Bobby Mitchell and the entire team at Putting On the Ritz do for each and every event. This team does a fantastic job of creating an amazing event for clients and their guests. And, their professionalism makes it a joy to work with them.

Angie and her staff at the Great Room in Savage Mill are far and away the best at their catering craft. Every time I have a chance to work with them I am amazed at the time taken in presentation, preparation of great food and managing the overall event.

Putting on the Ritz not only makes delicious food, but creates beautiful displays to showcase their edibles. I had a lot of fun photographing the various food creations they created!

As event planners we know that having the right vendors can really influence the success of an event. After working with Putting on the Ritz last year I can honestly say that they were wonderful! The staff was professional and extremely helpful. One of the guests at our client’s wedding bumped into one of the tables creating quite a mess, but the staff of Putting on The Ritz reacted so quickly that within minutes it looked as if nothing had happened. It was a pleasure working with them and we look forward to more of the same. We would highly recommend Karen and the rest of Putting on The Ritz!!!!

Putting On The Ritz is one of the top caterers I have worked with. They know weddings! Their staff is professional. very friendly and very efficient. As a DJ entertainer, I know the importance of teamwork between a bride and groom's vendors. Putting On The Ritz is definitely a team player! Their menu has variety and is always presented well. Their garlic mashed potatoes are to-die-for. They are the "Best on this Planet"!

I have been to several events that have been catered by Puttin' On the Ritz and have always raved about the food! However, their presentation and food at the bridal show at The Great Room last week was absolutely phenomenal! The staff was courteous, had a polished appearance and was very accommodating. I was in the catering business for over 10 years and know what to look for in a professional caterer. I highly recommend for everyone to check them out before you make a final decision!

Any event catered by Putting on the Ritz is sure to be fantastic! Their day of coordinators are excellent at what they do and always ensure that things go as planned. Not to mention fantastic food and service of course! :)

Putting on the Ritz never fails to deliver incredible food at every event. We've had the pleasure of working with them at multiple weddings and seriously, if you haven't tried their garlic mashed potatoes, you are missing out! Not even joking about that! The service is incredible, too. They run a tight ship and everything always goes off perfectly & deliciously!

I know for a fact that Putting on the Ritz serves fantastically tasty food. I'm looking forward to working with them very soon!
