Cheers to Chenoa for our fabulous event!

The Renaissance Hotel was a dream come true venue for my husband and I. From beginning to end, our venue coordinator Chenoa Wyman was an amazing asset to planning and executing our big day. Chenoa is such a kind, easygoing and experienced planner and we are so grateful to have had the benefit of her talents. The packages available are very reasonable and give you a lot of flexibility to customize your event! The event spaces in the Hotel are exquisite and well-maintained, it is the perfect mixture of vintage with modern amenities. The event catering was fantastic, so much so that our guests are still raving to us months later about their meals! We chose the Eggplant Rollatini and Filet Mignon, and the included tasting helped us nail down our favorites! The service during our reception was top-notch and I was able to enjoy the evening stress-free. Our package came with a night's stay at the hotel on the wedding night, the rooms are super clean and spacious and are a great option for out-of-towners. There are many other hotels and Airbnbs in walking distance of the Renaissance as well so there are a lot of options available in different price ranges if you don't want to book a room block! We will never forget our special day and the amazing people who made it happen at the Renaissance!

Beautiful venue wonderful personable staff

Renaissance was the best choice we could have made to host our wedding. COVID-19 changed our plans for our original day but Renaissance was there to help us make the best of it this year and also help us plan to celebrate with friends and family next year. We initially had Kelly when we first booked but with the changes in the industry we were connected with Laura. She picked up exactly where Kelly left off zero hiccups or back and fourth. It was if she was apart the planning from day one. Our micro wedding was perfect and the small dinner we hosted inside the library was stunning. Wait staff were friendly and very willing to help with anything we needed.

The best venue

I wish it was easy to write a review regarding my service from Kelly-Jean, it isn't. She has been very helpful and accommodating since the first time I met her. We decided on The Renaissance based solely on our conversation with Kelly and her ability to add to our dream of the perfect wedding. I feel as if a friend is helping me to plan my wedding. She's helps to keep me on track with the small things I overlook, always has a recommendation for someone to help with every new idea I come up with. Often refining and representing it for more "WOW" effect. I would recommend Kelly and The Renaissance to anyone looking for a quality venue with professional service.
