Great experience

Michele is such an amazing person and coordinator! She tiredlessly reviewed every detail about the planning process with us. We had so many questions and she always hand an answer for us. The hotel is very accommodating to our requests and the staff are always been ready to help. We had a beautiful wedding there. All the guests had a great time.

A must look into venue

Michele was a breeze to work with. She took care of us from day 1. From wedding planning to enjoying the party everything was amazing. The wait staff was amazing too. They were very responsive to our needs as the bride and groom. From serving us drinks on the dance floor to heading up to the honeymoon suite to get flats for the bride they were great.

This entire wedding went seamlessly from start to finish all thanks to Michele. My husband and I had no idea where to start in our wedding planning and Michele asked every question that you could possibly think of to get the ball rolling for us, as well as help us expand on our vision. She was great in following up quickly, either the same or next day. Booking at this venue also gave us even more benefits that we could possibly dream about. We even had a special cocktail for the evening that is customary in my culture that all of our guests loved. We have only heard positive feedback about our wedding and we will definitely recommend this venue (and especially Michele) to all of our friends that will be getting married.

We were beyond pleased with our experience at the Mariott Renaissance North Shore! Every little detail was taken care of by Michele and her team -- from the planning to the execution of the event, we could not have been happier with our venue choice. Top notch food, impeccable customer service, attention to detail, excellent space. Highly recommend this venue to future couples!

Michele and her staff at Renaissance were fantastic. They were extremely responsive and anticipated our every need. No detail was overlooked and our wedding went off without a hitch. The hotel itself is beautiful as well and the food is outstanding.

The Renaissance is a beautiful hotel with amazing staff. This suburban hotel gave my guests the feeling of a boutique city hotel without the crazy price tag. The staff was professional and extremely helpful, ensuring every detail was just right. For the day of, the getting ready rooms were fantastic and helped make the entire day perfect! My guests raved about the food for dinner, and we loved using the bar area after the wedding! Not enough great things to say about this wedding venue!

Michele & the entire crew are the best. Wish I could give everyone 100 stars. This is the 2nd event we have had there & I would never look elsewhere. I am still being complimented on both events. Because of Michele, Becky & the entire staff, my daughter had the wedding she always dreamed of! The food was amazing, the room was stunning and the service was impeccable. I could never thank you enough. Michele - ypu are the best!!!

Michele was the reason we chose The renaissance. It was clear that she knew a lot about weddings, as she knew the questions we should be asking and covered every last detail. The space was set up beautifully and exactly how I imagined. There was not one kink or problem in day and she was waiting for us upon our arrival to the venue. I highly recommend working with Michele.
