I had my wedding at Renaissance Event Hall and it was the best choice I could have possibly made. Lisa and Maritza are beyond amazing. They worked closely with us to make sure that we got the wedding of or dreams. I had people coming up to me all night telling me how much they loved the venue and the wait staff. The staff was able to accommodate my grandma, who has trouble walking, was able to be served from the buffet. They even prepared plates for my husband and I so we didn't forget to eat. Lisa and Maritza made sure the people in my wedding party were where they needed to be and were able to manage all of the logistics so we could just focus on enjoying the wedding. The event ran exactly on time and the staff executed every part of it without missing a beat. Looking back on it, every bride always wonders what they would have done differently for the wedding. I can confidently say that I wouldn't have changed a single thing and that is all due to having our event at Renaissance. I keep getting calls and texts from guests saying it was the best wedding they've been to. Thank you to the Renaissance team for giving us the perfect day!

Forever Grateful
My husband and I were so grateful for our experience with Lisa. She was so detail oriented and made sure to guide us throughout the entire process. The venue itself was beautiful and spacious. I would definitely recommend this venue and their services.

Amazing experience with an awesome team!
My wedding was September 21, 2023. I had the pleasure of working with both Maritza and Lisa. They are two amazing women. They made sure I had everything I needed. They were quick to answer my thousand emails and were so understanding when I needed to make last minute changes.

We made it happen in 3 months!
My wedding was held here last weekend after visiting Renaissance for the first time at the end of January. As soon as I walked in I had a feeling this would be our venue, which was even more confirmed by meeting Maritza. Although she's only started working here in January, her years of experience with event planning was evident as soon as we sat down together. She made me feel at ease with the whole process and wasn't pushy with pricing or our budget at all. They were more than accommodating for hosting us on short notice and were responsive whether by email or phone. The event hall doesn't need much decoration as it's quite beautiful as it is on its own, there was enough staff and everyone I interacted with that evening was kind. Maritza was a true professional as my maitre d, and I'm glad I trusted her and Renaissance Event Hall! I was somewhat nervous that this seemed too easy for a day that a lot of people feel more stressed about, but we think our wedding was a success based on our experience and the feedback of our guests. Everyone enjoyed the food, which was one of our biggest concerns. Thank you!

Amazing Experience
We had a wonderful experience with Renaissance throughout the entire planning process and, especially, on our wedding day. The first day we went and looked at the space, Teresa answered all our questions and helped us design a wedding package that worked for us. Shortly after, we went for a "tasting" which turned out to be a multi-course meal with delicious appetizers, wines, champagne and amazing service. Their menu is huge and customizable for dietary restrictions. For the next few months, we e-mailed a lot with Marion, their event coordinator. She was extremely responsive and helpful for all our many questions as we worked out the details of our day. We also met with their manager, Bernard, who helped us and our DJ feel ready for the day. Our actual wedding reception at Renaissance was above and beyond all our expectations. Every detail we asked for was taken care of so that we could just relax and enjoy the day, including making sure we got to eat. The space is absolutely beautiful. There is an upstairs where we had cocktail hour. Then, we as the couple got to enter down a beautiful grand staircase. Downstairs there is a dance floor and a big open space for dinner. We are so pleased with the service, space, food, and the amazing time we had at Renaissance. I would give them more than 5 stars if possible!

Highly satisfied, couldn’t have asked for more
From our first site visit Teresa made us feel comfortable. She was super easy to work with, accommodating and reassuring throughout the whole process. On the day of, Marion the maitre ‘D and Bryan the captain oversaw everything and made our guests feel welcomed. While we weren’t impressed with the entrees at the tasting, the food turned out great the day of. My only regret was that I didn’t get to try any of the hor deurves for cocktail hour; the bridal attendant did bring them into the bridal suite, I was just too frazzled to eat. Bryan was super attentive and made sure husband and I both got a full plate of dinner as well as both flavors of the sheet cakes.
I have no complaints of the service and professionalism except for one minor detail: we had set up small LED tea lights at the edge of the stairs but were asked to move them to the wall in case of them falling off, but when I walked down during processional I ended up knocking over them with my train as I was on the right side by the wall.
Overall, highly recommend this venue. Great value, lovely interiors, no lack of courtesy and thoughtfulness. We’re very happy with our choice.

Brenda, Benard, and the rest of the Renaissance Event Hall (REH) team were fantastic from start to finish. REH provides a menu of options, which allows for each couple to customize their experience. You can choose between a buffet and sit-down dinner, a range of courses (including or excluding dessert), and multiple alcohol packages. Additionally, they permitted us to bring in additional vendors for part of the dinner and dessert, and make last minute changes when necessary. As for the wedding day, Brenda was present to ensure everything ran smoothly (which is especially convenient for couples who cannot afford a wedding planner). There was a member of the wait staff (Diana) assigned specifically to the wedding party; she ensured that everyone had a drink in hand and was wonderful to work with the entire evening. Guests raved about the food, and genuinely had a great experience with all REH staff members and facilities.
At the outset, my wife and I were skeptical that a beautiful wedding could come at such a moderate price tag. But REH proved us wrong. REH succeeded all of our expectations at a price well below many other venues in the NYC area.
Thank you REH!
