What should I know before I contact The Ritz-Carlton, Chengdu?
To ensure that the hotel’s Wedding Team is able to start helping you immediately, keep a few facts in mind when taking this first step toward your perfect wedding:
- Approximate dates for the event
- Alternate dates in case of scheduling conflicts

How far in advance should I reserve my preferred date?
In China, the Labor Day holiday, National Day holiday and weekends in May and October are the most popular dates for wedding celebrations and in some cases are reserved two years in advance. Other dates are typically available on shorter notice. The ladies and gentlemen of the hotel’s Wedding Team will be pleased to advise you on availability.
How late can I confirm the number of guests attending my wedding celebration?
In order to ensure the quality and quantity of food offered at your celebration, the Catering Department requires an exact number of guests at least 14 days prior to the start of the event. Since this is how many meals will be prepared, this figure will be considered a guarantee and will be billed in total even if fewer guests actually attend your event.
Can I hold my celebration outdoors?
The Wedding Team constantly scouts new venues and can offer several options for elegant outdoor celebrations.
