    The Perfect Choice

    The Renaissance Hotel is Gorgeous. Step inside to see the beautiful architecture.
    The staff is beyond helpful and polite. We found working with our banquet manager to be a joy. He knew so much about different types of experiences and guided us through our process. Our vendors for music and photography knew the Renaissance and were excited to work with us through this hotel. The experience was beyond our expectations in so many ways. Definitely choose to host the rehearsal dinner, welcome party and after party right there in the same hotel. It's Perfect. Our rooms were lovely and more than comfortable. We are so happy that we chose The Renaissance Hotel.

    Probably the best wedding venue in Pittsburgh

    We were looking around for upscale wedding venues in Pittsburgh area. Nemacolin and Renaissance were the top contenders for us... we decided to go with Renaissance after looking at the price and we are so glad we did. Not only is the price so much better at Renaissance, but also the hotel itself is incredibly beautiful and luxurious. Met some footballers and sport dudes there. Amazing hotel for doing a wedding. The venue was incredible and all those who attended my wedding even said that it is the most beautiful venue they've actually been to. For the price we paid it was amazing.

    You won't regret choosing this hotel!

    Fallon and her team did an amazing job! I was not stressed out, and they thought of all the little details and took care of everything. We got a great price on our rooms, and my guests didn't have to leave the hotel as the ceremony was on their beautiful lobby stairs and the reception was upstairs. If I could go back and change anything, I wouldn't!! They were great to work with and the food was amazing. Please call Fallon today and book your wedding! You wont regret it!

    Venue Heaven

    We recently hosted our wedding reception at the Renaissance over 4th of July weekend. We were so impressed with how everything turned out and wanted to especially rave about Fallon, Lisa and Marlena, along with the rest of the amazing staff. Our bridal suite was perfection and the room block was easy to organize. All of the day-of details were executed flawlessly by Marlena and her team. And every step of the planning process was overseen by Fallon who is so great to work with and who took every little worry that I had seriously. The hotel itself is a show-stopper which is why we chose it. From the trendy, upscale room décor to the beautiful lobby, grand staircase and the jaw-dropping lighted dome, the Renaissance gave our reception such a classy and contemporary home. And the classically Pittsburgh view from the ballroom was the icing on the cake. Their wedding package is priced so well for everything that you get with it and all of the food was insanely good! I know that the bride and groom typically don’t have time to eat, but my husband and I couldn’t bare to not completely clean our plates! Finally, we wanted to mention the bartender at the Braddock Bar, Mike. Talk about an awesome guy! Mike was always the absolute picture of customer service while still becoming a friend every time that we talked with him, even if it was just while grabbing a drink after a planning meeting. If you’re interested in great bar service for the wedding, Mike will make sure it happens, and he even concocted a signature drink that our guests are still talking about! Overall, we toured over 20 Pittsburgh venues for our reception and knew instantly upon entering the Renaissance that our search was over. It was the perfect choice and allowed us to throw the reception of our dreams while our guest received unparalleled hospitality and we wouldn’t change a thing!

    The Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel's reply:

    Thank you so much Nicole! I am truly touched. I am beyond pleased that we were able to exceed your expectations! We loved working with you and your family! :)

    10/10 Venue, Beautiful View, Phenomenal Staff

    My husband and I couldn’t be happier that we had our reception at the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel. From the initial meeting to the day of our wedding, we were so impressed with the venue and the staff. The venue is just beautiful and offers a gorgeous view of the city from the ballroom. The staff were all extremely prompt with their responses to emails and phone calls. Fallon and the event crew at the Renaissance made our wedding experience so easy, effortless, fun, and honestly perfect. The staff was so helpful, extremely detail-oriented, and so much fun to work with. They answered every question that I threw their way and trust me – I had A LOT. You can trust them to make sure your wedding day goes as smoothly as possible. I cannot say enough great things about Fallon. Communication with her was excellent and so easy. She is very personable, professional, and extremely helpful. The package included a lot of components to the wedding, so we didn't have to plan many of them separately. The food was exceptional – so a big thank you to Chef Nick and his attention to detail. The day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about anything – every detail was taken care of. Fallon communicated with all of our vendors including our band, florist, cake, and photographer the day of so we did not have to make any decisions. After the wedding, we came up to our suite and had the most wonderful surprise - cake, cookies, chocolate covered strawberries, a bottle of champagne, and the sweetest note from Fallon and the event staff. All of our décor and things that we brought (picture frames, champagne flutes, cake server, guestbook, and card box) were neatly put away and delivered to our room by Mark so that we didn’t have to worry about it. We could not have had a better wedding reception and there isn’t one single thing that we would change. The Renaissance is a 10/10 venue! I would truly recommend this venue to anyone! Thanks again to everyone at the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel for making our wedding day so perfect and so memorable. ☺

    Thank you so much Amanda for the kind words, your photos turned out AMAZING! I truly enjoyed working with you and I wish you both the best :)

    Best day ever!

    My dream wedding was brought to life all because of Allison and the staff at the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel! The food was exceptional, and Chef Nicks attention to detail for all of my courses was amazing customer service. Every idea I gave to Allison she made it even better than what I imagined. From the food and beverage team who perfected my centerpieces that had food on them (and provided our 8 course meal), to Allison's attention to detail and how to make that ballroom even more gorgeous, to the banquet servers and bartenders who were there with us all night making sure everything was perfect. We could not have had a better wedding reception, and we would not change one single thing! Everyone deserves to have a day just as perfect as mine was, and Allison and her team are the ones to handle it for you!

    We used the Renaissance for our wedding block. We were out of town ourselves so we stayed there as well. We did not have any wedding events other than the hotel block through the Renaissance. We maybe could've gotten $20 cheaper a night at other nearby Marriott but I've stayed at these and they are not nearly as nice. The only negative thing I would say is one of the 3 elevators was broken the entire wedding weekend. The views from all the rooms were amazing but the view from the bride and groom free upgrade suite was astounding. When we returned from our wedding reception we were surprised to find a nice bottle of champagne and gourmet chocolates in our room. It was a nice surprise.

    We brought a lot of outside food & drinks for breakfast/lunch/snacks into the hotel and the hotel made no comments. The bell hops even helped bring it upstairs.

    The Renaissance was the perfect venue for my daughter's wedding reception! The ballroom was gorgeous with spectacular views of PNC Park and the city. Allison was so easy to work with and anticipated our every need. She went above and beyond to make the day so very special for us! We couldn't have been more pleased. The food was delicious and the service fantastic. The hotel is so romantic, the Grand Staircase in the lobby makes it feel like a true life fairytale. The hotel rooms were beautiful, our guests raved about their accommodations. If you are looking for a downtown venue, this has to be your number one choice! It is the perfect venue for an unforgettable wedding day!

    Having our wedding reception at the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel was the BEST decision we made. Allison & her team made planning so fun and easy for us as the bride and groom and they were so helpful throughout the entire process. Our wedding day & entire stay at the hotel was everything we dreamed of and more! We had guests travel from all over the country and we received so many positive comments throughout the entire weekend regarding the fun location in the city, ambiance of the lobby/common areas, beautiful views from our reception room, service, exceptional food... the list can go on and on! If you are planning a wedding in the downtown Pittsburgh area, this venue is HIGHLY recommended! We are already excited to return for future visits!

    We could not have been happier with our daughter's wedding reception at the Pittsburgh Renaissance. The staff is wonderful to work with and helped guide us every step along the way. The food and service was excellent. The warm blue lighting gave the room the ambiance we wanted and the spectacular view of the North Shore was the crowning jewel to a most memorable event.

    The Renaissance was everything my husband and I were looking for in a venue. From the very first time we went to tour the space, everyone we spoke with was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. We knew right away this is where we would book. Annamarie and Allison were available to answer any questions I had and made the planning process fairly easy. Our wedding was everything we could have imagined it to be! We heard nothing but good things from our guests and the food was amazing!

    This venue is a dream! All areas of service, from the room block to the catering to the event coordination was out of this world. We planned our wedding from out of town so most communication was via email. The team at the Renaissance (Allison, Lisa, Tony and Brandon) made us feel like we were a priority, even though we knew they had many other events that they were juggling. OUr guests commented on. How wonderful the food was and that the views of PIttsburgh were such a unique touch. Only downside was that we were supposed to have 2 bars open during our cocktail hour and there was only 1, so our guests were a bit crowded around that bar instead of using the entire floor space. The bridal party stayed at the hotel and were treated like royalty, unbelievable service for us and our guests. Not a single regret or hiccup working with this venue!

    After contacting between 20-30 venues for our wedding, we were lucky enough to find that the Renaissance had our wedding date open. If you are also lucky enough to find that the Renaissance has your wedding date open, I can tell you that booking the date will be one of the best decisions that you make in planning your wedding. There are not enough good things that I can say about working with the Renaissance, especially Katy and her staff. She was incredibly responsive, accommodating, helpful, and organized throughout the planning process (as well as the rest of her staff). The food was fantastic, the service during the actual reception was flawless, and the room looked absolutely gorgeous. We could not be happier with choosing the Renaissance as our wedding venue and I highly recommend it to anyone about to begin planning a wedding!!

    The hotel was the location of our wedding in 2014. We planned in under a year, and we're so lucky to get the date we wanted. Christine was absolutely phenomenal to work with, made the planning process so easy. She always responded quickly, honestly and with great knowledge. Her staff and assistants were wonderful as well. The hotel was very accommodating with our many guests who stayed at the hotel.
    Christine and her staff were great with working with us on our unique wedding. From the initial visit, to food tasting, email exchanges, and the final meeting they were great.
    The food was hands down awesome, and everyone loved! The ease of the wedding weekend went off without a hitch. The staff made my husband and I so much at ease.
    The hotel is beautiful and you just can't get a better view of Pittsburgh!
    Patty, our bridal butler couldn't have been any kinder and helpful!
    We loved our wedding weekend and couldn't ask for more from this reception site!

    I had wanted to have my wedding in the Renaissance for as long as I can remember, and the venue did not disappoint. Christine and her staff handled every detail perfectly and the room coordinator Gary Lee went above and beyond to make sure our out-of-town friends and family were taken care of. We had a lot of specific and unique requests and they were all handled perfectly.

    Our guests couldn't stop raving about the views from the ballroom window (even better if you manage to book your wedding during baseball season on a game night!). But mostly they could not stop raving about the food. We expected the food to be be good, but we truly did not expect it to be as above and beyond as it was. In addition to a flank steak with whiskey demi-glaze and a miso-glazed salmon with papaya salsa, Chef B. worked with us to customize a vegetarian entree and to create both Pittsburgh-style sandwiches for late night and three custom pierogie (blue cheese mashed potato stuffed, sweet potato and pecan stuffed and cheddar chive mashed potato stuffed). The food was amazing and a highlight.

    This is also an ideal location if you have a lot of out-of-town guests. We had about 80 guests staying in the hotel with us and they all were able to spend the day before the wedding enjoying Pittsburgh because there is so much walkable (North Shore, Cultural District, Market Square and even the Strip District) from that location. If you have a large out of town contingent and want to ensure they have things to do that are easy to get to, this is the venue for y
