Successful Welcome Event and Room Block

Hotel Cleveland was an incredible venue for our Friday night welcome event, room block, and after party. From the start, the staff was quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and productive in working with us to plan our special weekend. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, and the renovations are stunning, with a unique and upscale aesthetic that provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. When we encountered an issue with our original event space, the team quickly recalibrated and moved us to another gorgeous area of the hotel, ensuring our welcome event went off without a hitch. The staff was extremely pleasant and attentive throughout the entire event, as well as our guests in the room block. We could not have asked for a more beautiful, unique, and updated venue to host our guests across the wedding weekend. We highly recommend Hotel Cleveland to any couple looking for an upscale and memorable wedding experience.

A dream rehearsal dinner

We originally booked the Renaissance for our hotel block for our guests, which was a fairly easy experience overall. Our coordinator Erica was helpful, prompt, and responsive when we had some problems with Marriott's reservation system. In addition, she and Patrice were very helpful when we had people call last minute to get rooms within the block. All of our guests that stayed in the hotel were surprised at how spacious the rooms were given the deal we got on the price! We booked a suite for ourselves because I had my bridal party getting ready with me, and it was an absolute dream. It was amazingly spacious and beautiful, especially the marble bathroom. My photographer even used the marble counters to stage some detail photographs.

About a month before the wedding, we were having trouble finding a low-key rehearsal dinner option for our budget and guest size. I called Erica and she set us up with a lovely, casual rehearsal dinner in the lobby court bar with heavy appetizers and drinks. My guests had a wonderful and relaxing time thanks to the surprisingly intimate setup and incredibly talented and kind staff. They even took the time to get know me and my now husband. Thanks to the Renaissance team, we had a fantastic evening getting to catch up with friends and family and a stress-free location to get ready for our wedding. Thank you to Erica and her team! I can't recommend them enough!

9/14/2019 wedding

Our wedding at the Renaissance was absolutely perfect! We were in the gold ball room. Jennifer was a big help throughout the entire process. However, sometimes her responses were slower than desired (literally the only difficult thing working with this vendor). The food was EXCELLENT! The venue was beautiful. The room was large and no one was on top of each other. They worked with our prices and were able to be flexible on their minimum to stay within our budget. I would highly recommend and would pick this vendor 1000x over again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
