Rachel Married on 04/16/2022The best Philly wedding block hotel!
We used the Renaissance for our wedding block which had to be rescheduled twice due to the pandemic. Samantha Serenkin was beyond helpful and so responsive throughout our planning period. Everyone who works at the Renaissance was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the weekend, from the management team we interacted with to every front desk person, valet and housekeeping staff member. Samantha also made catering a breeze for our bridal party the morning of the wedding, our after party in the hotel lobby and our farewell continental breakfast. The hotel is in a perfect location for out of town guests as well to get to explore Philly. If you are looking for a center city room block, look no further! -

Emily K. Married on 01/16/2022An amazing Philadelphia wedding
Sam and the whole Renaissance team are the BEST. They were incredibly flexible when we had to postpone twice due to Covid, and in the lead up to the big day Sam responded to all of my emails quickly and kept everything super organized. During the wedding weekend she coordinated with our vendors, which allowed me to really enjoy everything without worrying about all of the little details. The food and drinks were delicious, and the penthouse suite was amazing for getting ready and having a “home base” for our family and wedding party all weekend. We also were able to do photos across the street in Independence National Historical Park and in the funky lobby bar when it got too cold outside. Highly, highly recommend the Renaissance for anyone getting married in Philly!
