Phenomenal band

We had Renaissance Orchestra perform at our wedding and they were absolutely AMAZING! All of the performers are talented and bring great energy to the night. Our guests were on the dance floor the entire time, and many of them remarked to me how wonderful the band was. The owner of the venue even said to me that, though by the third wedding of the weekend she is often tired of hearing wedding music, she loved listening to them and said they were one of the best bands to perform at their venue (and it was their first time there!)
Additionally, planning the reception beforehand was a very smooth process -Phaedra is so helpful and always responds to messages right away, and worked with us to give us exactly the reception we wanted. Our night was unforgettable thanks to them!

Truly the BEST

The Renaissance Orchestra is the best there is. After hearing them at a wedding we attended in 2021, we knew we wanted them to perform at our wedding in May of 2023 at the Farm at Eagles Ridge. From start to finish, Phaedra and the entire team were extremely professional, flexible, and responsive to our wants/needs. Furthermore, they tailored our day to exactly what we wanted, and I have never seen a dance floor at a wedding so packed. We got tons of compliments from our guests, and everyone had such a blast with them being in charge of our music. HIRE THEM NOW! You won't regret it! :)
