The Renaissance Grand Hotel was absolutely beautiful and we had a great experience working with them. Katie Vreeland was our sales manager and John Nelleson was our event manager; Katie sold the place and John went above and beyond with delivering. In my other life, I am a corporate event planner and I was concerned that during my wedding I would be more of an event planner than a bride which was not the case at all. I completely trusted John and was able to really let go, relax, have fun and enjoy my wedding. The venue is absolutely stunning but the staff was incredibly hospitable and helpful. We brought a bunch of candy for a candy buffet, John and his staff turned it into beautiful decor and put the candy buffet together in a beautifully artistic way. He also put the flowers on our wedding cake and it looked beautiful! One of my favorite memories from that night was John finding me and my now husband to show us how they transformed the Crystal Ballroom from a ceremony to the reception; it was so nice to be able to share that moment before all of the guests saw it. I can't say enough about the Renaissance Grand Hotel, if you choose them you will not be disappointed!

I cannot say enough great things about the Renaissance Grand hotel and the Crystal Ballroom. Katie Vreeland was wonderful and easy to work with and our even manager Kristin Sanders was absolutely amazing. The banquet staff made our wedding even more impressive with their service and the food. All our wedding guests raved about the venue, the service and the food. They pride themselves on service at the Renaissance (and you definitely pay for it with the 24% gratuity), but it is well worth it!

The Renaissance Crystal Ballroom was an absolutely gorgeous venue for my wedding reception! The room is stunning. My experience with the staff, however, was not the best. Unfortunately, I was assigned several planners. The first two were a delight to work with, but the final planner was disorganized, unprofessional, and at times rude. I had to hire an outside planner to help with the final details because I did not trust that everything would go as I wanted it to. This is hopefully just a fluke though, because like I said, the other planners were great. Even though I didn't have the best experience with the planner I was given, I would recommend this venue. Classy, elegant, and beautiful.

The event was absolutely amazing. The staff at the Renaissance was very professional, on top of all the details and created the best experience for all the guests - especially the wedding party! I would recommend this venue to anyone. It isn't cheap but the quality and execution of the event made up for it!! Well worth the money!

Everything was wonderful, they took care of everything for you. All my gifts were put into my room for me and all the guests loved the food. This was just the place for my reception, and it was just beautiful. They were more than accomadating.

What a gorgeous venue. We were treated like royalty!
