Find a Wedding Caterer in Sarasota

First time at a Ritz (frequent Marriott business traveler). The good: Beach club is really quite nice, great pool and service. Staff is fantastic. The valet staff at the hotel is fantastic and were so nice to my family, especially my young sons. Honestly, they were the best part of the hotel. Room is ok. Little nicer than a typical Marriott, but I was not overly impressed. Front desk attendant during check in was not very welcoming and didn't explain anything about the hotel, which was disappointing. As a platinum elite, and Ritz credit card holder, i honestly expected to be treated a bit better. Room upgrade was not offered and really no mention or thanks to my loyalty to this brand. Was at a Fairfield inn the week before and felt more valued. In any event, it was still pleasant overall. Not sure I would return, but glad to have tried it.

My beautiful bride and I had the pleasure of the Mattison’s team taking care of us on our big day. We had the honor of working directly with Kourtney as our wedding planner. Every step of the way she made sure that our vision for our big day was brought to life. At any given point we knew we could look around and we could find her for the little things and trust her with the big things. She never stood in a corner somewhere and “delegated” but instead was right in the thick of it with us. Unboxing, setting up lights, hanging fabrics, making sure we had a drink in our hands or some food in our belly’s while being pulled a million different directions. The morning of it was so sweet to wake up to a message saying, “happy wedding day!” and beginning the checklist of ensuring both myself and the bride had everything we needed. Now, side stepping to the food... oh my goodness. Mattison's took care of our cocktail hour, signature drinks, dinner, BEAUTIFUL cake, and late night snack. Everything was hands down, without question, beautifully presented and tasted even better (didn't think that was possible.) There was no sacrifice on our design. Never once did we look around and see something that we didn't want. We brought the vision to the team and with open arms and big smiles were told, "let's do this" Looking back on our pictures my bride and I continue to smile and talk about the greatness that is the Mattison's team. Thank you so so so so much, it is because of this team that our day was so much more magical than we ever thought it would be.

I have had Indian food on six continents and also many times in India....this food is outstanding and the service is excellent. Thanks for a great dining experience.
