The Wedding Band of Your Dreams

Rennaissance Orchestra MADE our wedding. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to bringing the party is unparalleled. We love to dance, so an exceptional band was one of our top priorities for our wedding day. We chose Rennaissance Orchestra for several reasons up front: 1) they are a UNIT - meaning, they do not have band members rotating in and out. They are always the same group performing together, and this was extremely important to us. 2) They are incredibly professional and committed to delivering the best performance - despite being a Philadelphia-based band, they agreed to perform in Pittsburgh for our wedding. 4 months in advance, they traveled 5 hours each way to come see the venue, get a sense for the acoustics, and make a logistic plan for their equipment. We made a detailed timeline together, based on our preferences and their recommendations. When the found out our after party was two blocks away - they offered to do a second line for us! 3) Their setlist is incredibly comprehensive, with everything from Frank Sinatra and the Four Seasons to Taylor Swift and Dua Lipa. They also learned 3 new songs for us and (knocked them out of the park).
Fast forward to the wedding day, the dance floor was packed the entire night. The talent of this group is out of this world. They read the energy of the crowd and kept building on it. The vocalists are absolutely incredible. A consistent comment we heard that night was "this is the best wedding band I've ever witnessed" and "your band is unreal". To top it off we had a second line down the street to our after party, which felt like something straight out of a movie.
They are worth every single penny and frankly a whole lot more. Thank you Rennaissance Orchestra, you truly blew us away and gave us the wedding of our dreams!

Thank you!

We just got back from our honeymoon yesterday, and we just wanted to say THANK YOU for being our wedding band. We cannot thank you enough for bringing so much energy to the PACKED dance floor, collaborating with the violinist and doing a mic check with me for Amarillo By Morning, and being a fabulous MC the entire night! We had so much fun, and received so many compliments on your music and performance from our guests!
