The Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes is a 584-room five-star resort situated on 500 acres of protected Florida wetlands, connected by a private pedestrian bridge to the adjacent JW Marriott and sharing the Grande Lakes amenity complex. The resort's signature event spaces — the Ritz-Carlton Ballroom, the lakefront lawn, and the pool-level terrace — accommodate weddings from 50 to 1,500 guests with impeccable Forbes Five-Star service standards. An 18-hole Greg Norman-designed golf course, full-service spa, kayaking, and nature tours through the adjacent preserve make it a self-contained destination resort for multi-day wedding weekends. The dedicated events team includes in-house florists, pastry chefs, and wedding coordinators.
