Beautiful Venue!

The Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel is a beautiful hotel! We are so glad we found this venue. Not many venues are accommodating to smaller weddings, but the Renaissance is! Greg was our wedding coordinator and I am so grateful for him! He made the planning process so easy and made sure we were taken care of! If you have the chance to get married on the staircase, do it! You will not regret it! The food was so delicious and our guests keep commenting on how it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! Everyone involved on our wedding day was so professional and very nice to us and our guests. I would definitely recommend the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel to anyone wanting to get married in Pittsburgh!

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.

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!

The Renaissance is a great hotel for your event. We have had the pleasure of designing florals for several weddings, large and small, at the hotel. It is always a pleasure for us and the staff is always pleasant.
