Most helpful, kind and friendly venue

It was meant to be.. I would go to the Renaissance for Illy coffee , when I got engaged, the first place I looked was at this hotel. It was out of of my budget and months down, I received an email from Rossana. She was simply the best… I am so thankful to talk to her and she made our dreams come true. Then we worked with Deaven Taylor, who is so nice and easy to work with. I might have driven her crazy but she made sure everything happened correctly. I’m still in awe how well the hotel worked with the vendors. Thank you to the Renaissance team for an amazing wedding weekend!!!

We walked into the Renaissance and immediately fell in love with the venue. Andrea and her staff were so accommodating and helpful. Our guests still talk about their impeccable service.

They gave us the presidential suite (with a spectacular view) for two nights. And anything we needed was done right away. I highly recommend Andrea Murphy and the entire staff at the Renaissance.

We LOVED working with the Renaissance and so appreciate everything that was done to make our wedding celebration absolutely amazing. I think we knew as soon as we walked in that we wanted to have our wedding at the Renaissance. If you're looking for a modern venue, this hotel is just gorgeous. If you're looking for a venue that will de-stress the planning process, the Renaissance is so easy, with perfect packages to choose from, shuttles to the airport/metro, wonderful staff, etc. And if you're looking for a venue that will offer amazing food, this place certainly does, with an award-winning chef and a fantastic food and bev team.

Thank you Andrea, Rafii, Chef David, and everyone else who made our celebration so perfect! We and our guests were treated like royalty. HUGE thank you to Sara, our event coordinator, for a flawless and fun wedding.

Some specific points...

Hotel Rooms, Restaurant, Services: We had many out of town guests and they all really enjoyed their rooms, services (particularly the shuttle), and the helpful staff. The two of us fell in love with the suite we had the night of the wedding, which is so cool and funky and huge, with such an amazing view. Perfect for getting ready in on the day-of.

Event spaces: We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at the Renaissance. We had three different spaces for the events, all on the second floor - everything flowed together perfectly. The spaces were part of the reason a few of our guests said that it was a very "guest-friendly" wedding. Plus, even though it was Dec 31/Jan 1, we had access to the outdoor terrace, which was nice if people needed to cool down from the dancing.

Food: Awesome. We came in for dinner at SOCCi before signing our contract, and that's really what sealed the deal. Then our tasting was so much fun (come hungry!!). We received so many compliments about the food from our guests - this was *extremely* important to us in planning the wedding.

The Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel was very accommodating and helpful to my needs, considering I was planning our holiday party last minute. Andrea Murphy and Sara Lechner (and staff) were very accommodating and helpful - loved them, especially Sara as she worked with me through the very end! Would highly recommend Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel and work with Andrea Murphy and Sara Lechner again! VERY pleased!

As an Indian bride, marrying a non-Indian groom, we put a lot of thought into how we would organize our intercultural wedding events. We decided on having our two ceremonies and dinner reception at the Renaissance. From the moment we walked in, we LOVED the unique, trendy and modern decor! In my opinion, this Ballroom is the most beautiful in town!

Staff: Sara, our hotel event planner, went above and beyond before the wedding, during the wedding, and even post-wedding to ensure that we were satisfied. The level of joy and enthusiasm from Sara and the hotel staff was wonderful to experience on my wedding day! It felt like they were all a part of my family!

Pre-Wedding: I got dressed in the beautiful Bridal Suite (Presidential Suite). All of my photos and video footage from these special moments look GORGEOUS thanks to the modern furniture and appeal of the Renaissance suites. My groom and his groomsmen got dressed in a smaller ballroom downstairs and had a wonderful experience as well.

Baraat (Groom’s arrival in Indian weddings): The Renaissance is able to accommodate amazing Baraats! There is a long grass lawn on the side of hotel on which my groom arrived - riding a horse, dancing and celebrating with his family/friends. The grass lawn provides beautiful scenery for Baraats (as opposed to streets or parking lots).

Ceremonies: We used the main ballroom and Sara worked on every minute detail, such as ensuring that we had the proper staging for both ceremonies, communicating with our DJ for audio needs, personal wedding planner, officiants, etc. We had no problems from start to finish!

Reception: Due to our desire to have Indian food, we used an outside catering package. We were very happy that our caterer already had a wonderful working relationship with the Renaissance! Our guests still rave about how beautiful the venue is! We highly recommend Renaissance Capital View for an amazing and memorable wedding experience!

This venue made my wedding dreams come true!! It was beautiful without needing to do much too it, but everything that I wanted to add the team at the Renaissance worked with me to make sure it happened. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and quick to respond; it made the process so much less stressful!!

Getting married at the Renaissance Arlington is a fabulous experience! The modern décor of the lobby and ballroom, and scenic views from the hotel rooms are unbeatable. The food and service at the reception was incredible - we are still receiving positive feedback from our guests regarding both, and the ballroom looked just magical. We loved everything about our wedding, even the planning process leading up to it, thanks in large part to Sara Lechner and the hotel staff. Sara and her team's dedication, organization, attention to detail, enthusiasm, and thoughtfulness were unparalleled. We highly recommend the Renaissance Arlington Capital View for your wedding.

We had our wedding at the Renaissance in September and it was the most AMAZING wedding we could have ever imagined having. Ron Kee, our sales manager was by far the best sales manager we met with. He continued to follow up with us and truly made us feel like we were VIP. Latoya Swan was our event manager and she was also fabulous. Her attention to detail and willing to accommodate us was impressive. The hotel itself is beautiful and the staff, from the valet to the banquet servers, were awesome. I would totally recommend having your wedding at this hotel- it is a great location with so much to do and the airport is super close... your guests will be taken care of for the weekend with an excellent experience.

My husband and I were married here, and we had a truly wonderful experience thanks to the professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness of your staff. When we first booked the venue over a year ago, Ron Kee showed us the ropes, designed the contract for us and was so friendly and reassuring; we knew we were in good hands. He was also always quick to respond to our questions even though the event was so far out. Then Latoya Swan took over the ropes and wow, she didn’t miss a beat. She too was very responsive to questions, at times MULTIPLE daily emails. She did her absolute best to get us everything we wanted including a signature drink the hotel had never made before, a food tasting at a time the chef normally didn’t have free, and the list goes on. We honestly can’t believe she never told us no (and if she did, we didn’t notice it!!). We felt like we were the most important people at the hotel, especially for our wedding day- and we know she had another wedding going on that day too. The royalty treatment was also extended to our guests; several of them commented to us on how friendly the hotel staff was, how welcoming and accommodating everyone was. We’d like to point out a few in particular- Michael at the front desk was incredible, he took care of anything we and our guests asked for (including storing 3 cakes one guest brought up from Georgia for our off-site rehearsal dinner), and quickly and with a smile. And he remembered guests by name! The lovely man assigned to us at our wedding reception, who's name we wish we could remember, made sure we were fed quickly and always had a beverage in our hands- a request made of him by the groom. Truly all of the event staff, and front desk, valet, and restaurant staff, even housekeeping staff were so wonderful and personable. It’s one thing for us to have been treated so well, but it truly means the world to us that our loved ones were also in good hands.
We love RACVH!
