Renaissance Event Hall

We were so grateful to the Renaissance team. Given their expertise, we planned our wedding seamlessly. Lisa was wonderful, efficient and professional.

We got married at Renaissance Event Hall September of 2023. We had an amazing experience from the tour, through planning, and execution of our wedding. Lisa was an amazing partner in the wedding planning experience, and was so accommodating to our wants and needs. Larry and the rest of our serving and bartending staff made the night for both my husband and I as well as our guests. Clean and appealing space that is the perfect blank canvas for any wedding vision. Would come back for a future party any time!

It's a gorgeous venue. Pictures do not do it justice. Lisa is phenomenal, she goes above and beyond to make clients happy. She works with you to make your event yours.

We had our wedding here on 4/8/23 and we are beyond thrilled that we chose Renaissance Event Hall. A few weeks later and we are still smiling constantly thinking of how perfect everything went. The hall was beautiful of course and we loved the drama of walking down the grand staircase for the ceremony. At the reception we had plenty of space on the dance floor. The food was phenomenal; we had several foodie guests text us during the event to tell us how delicious the food was and some even said it was the best they ever had at a wedding. In fact, several guests told us it was the best wedding they ever went to. All of our 180 guests were smiling and having fun from beginning to end. Larry took care of my husband and I and made sure we had food and drinks as we were so busy mingling with everyone. The biggest thank you I have to give is to Lisa and Maritza. Lisa helped us throughout the planning process and was always immediately responsive in her emails. She told us beforehand that she would be helping with every facet of the event and she did not lie. I’m convinced she has clones of herself because she was helping everyone everywhere all at once. She was our planner, my therapist the day before the wedding, and our day of coordinator. She helped serve food, helped at the bar, and even helped me out of my dress! Maritza opened the venue early for me day of and assisted with getting things ready last minute. All in all we had a fantastic wedding at Renaissance and could not recommend it enough for any event!

Maritza Hammel and her team were an amazing group of people to work with during our wedding process. We were blessed to have them by our side on our special day. Despite some unexpected challenges, such as a late arrivals from vendors, rainy weather, and last-minute decor changes, Maritza was there to support us every step of the way. I myself am in the wedding industry and Ive heard horror stories about how venues/vendors will charge extra for last minute accommodations or they won’t even accommodate. But she made sure we got what we needed and Her quick thinking/problem-solving skills saved the day. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect. Not only did she set up an extra table last minute, while I was having anxiety about my dress not being here in time she offered to bring my wedding dress back with her from her vacation in Europe. (It got here just before the big day) But the fact that she offered proves that she’s truly there for the brides and grooms and wants to make the couple’s life a little easier with all the little wedding stresses going on. She really made our wedding day the most memorable and special day of our lives. If you're planning a wedding, look no further than, Renaissance Event Hall was the perfect location for our wedding and Maritza Hammel was the best planner/helper/therapist etc. we could of had.

I djayed event there this past weekend. Nice venue, great staff
And management. 2 levels , bar is up stairs for coctail hour , dowstairs is for reception.
Valet parking.

We had our wedding reception here in July 2022 and it was so magical! Maritza and Lisa were amazing coordinators and we could not have pulled it off without their help. Maritza helped us brainstorm ideas and coordinated everything we needed until the last minute of our special day. The wait staff during the event were friendly and very efficient. Food was great and abundant! The space is so big and inviting and we were able to decorate it just like we wanted. The dance floor was huge and the sound system was perfect. Cannot recommend this place enough, we absolutely loved it!!

My husband and I have lived in Astoria for a few years, so it meant the world to find this venue! The entire venue is absolutely beautiful - from the ceremony site, reception area, even the bathrooms and more. We used white linens, greenery, and added the bistro lights to the reception area and it was totally dreamy.

Lisa was so thoughtful, attentive, and made us feel completely taken care of during the planning process and especially on the day of. Pricing was very fair and super customizable.

Our older guests were able to easily use the handicap lift to access both floors as needed throughout the night. Vendors also had a great time working with staff and the space (We used Petals & Roots, K&R Photos, J&R Videography, DJ Lucas Waters, Drawn Together NYC in addition to the Renaissance team.)

For hotels, we had a majority of our guests stay at the Boro Hotel, which is only one mile away from the venue. Would suggest using Ubers/Lyfts for transportation on the day of since parking in Astoria gets a little crowded.

Truly was such a gorgeous space to host our wedding!! We are so so happy we chose the Renaissance.
