Our reception at the Renaissance was the BEST! Danielle was wonderful to work with - very detail oriented and did everything she could to make our day perfect. The rest of the staff was also incredible. Our food came out timely, warm and delicious. Our wedding was a year ago and we're still getting compliments about the Renaissance and how great the whole evening was. We can't recommend the Renaissance enough!!

I can’t say enough good things about this hotel! From the location, to the hospitality, to the ballroom, this was the most perfect venue for our wedding. Danielle Clark was unbelievable to work with- organized, detailed oriented, and professional. She communicated so well with us throughout the whole process so that I never had any concern about how things would turn out day of. The Renaissance staff have so much attention to detail that even our tasting experience was one of my favorite experiences throughout the planning process. The chef came out to talk to us about each dish he created and they were truly mouth watering! My guests kept complimenting the hospitality they were receiving from everyone including the valet, to the front desk, to the bar staff. The Renaissance checked all of my boxes for a wedding- 15 minutes from an airport, walkable to downtown for my guests, a ballroom that doesn’t feel like a hotel board room (so much character with those tall ceilings and gold accents), and a gathering space in the bar for a fun after party! Definitely add this to your list for a weekend get away to downtown Cincinnati or for a wedding venue- you won’t be disappointed!

On October 27, 2024, we hosted our daughter’s wedding ceremony and reception at The Renaissance. What an incredible, wonderful evening and we couldn’t have been more delighted that we chose this venue! We worked with Danielle who was extremely responsive, attentive, professional and sweet. She made sure everything was in order and well taken care of. She is familiar with all the vendors and works well with them. The entire staff, from valet, to check-in, to service was impeccable. Our guests raved about the food and service as well and they were so impressed with the beauty of the hotel from Burnham Hall to suites and rooms. Paul, the GM, greeted us upon check-in and made sure we had anything we needed. Rejfo, food and beverage manager, was on hand to make sure we were well taken care of as well. Danielle even had leftover wedding cake wrapped and waiting for us in our suites after the wedding. I highly recommend having your wedding at The Renaissance. It is 5 star all the way!

We hosted our daughter’s wedding reception at the Renaissance on June 22, 2024. we worked closely with Danielle for a year planning the reception. She is amazing and offered so many suggestions to help us through the process. Danielle is professional, very knowledgeable in her profession and we felt so comfortable working with her! Most of our guests were from out of town and the general manager, Paul and the entire staff was so friendly and attentive to all of us! We have never been to a hotel and received that kind of service⭐️. The staff helped my wedding planner set up the cookie table and were willing to help us with anything we needed! That weekend was a busy weekend with the Pride parade and the Cincinnati Reds in town so they also helped us navigate through all of that. I could go on and on with everything they did, but I can never thank them enough for creating such an incredible weekend for my daughter and our family. ❤️

We had our wedding reception at the Renaissance Cincinnati, and I cannot tell you how amazing everything turned out. We had several venues over the week for a multi cultural wedding and Renaissance exceeded our expectations. The staff, the room suites, chefs, and even the valet services were exceptional!
We worked with Danielle, and she was amazing! She was thorough and so helpful and just the sweetest person to work with. She helped guide us through the wedding process and was extremely organized.
This is definitely THE place to get married!

A five star rating hardly begins to touch our experience with Danielle and the team at the Renaissance Cincinnati. This beautiful hotel and venue speaks for itself but the service was truly top tier. From the beginning stages of planning, the tasting, through the very end, we were pleased with it all. We received so many incredible compliments on the valet, the beautiful hotel and rooms, the food, and how attentive the staff was. In addition, at least 90% of our guests were from out of town and the Renaissance was able to accommodate all of them. Thank you to each and every staff member at the Renaissance, you truly made our day more special than we could have ever imagined.

The Renaissance is the most BEAUTIFUL venue to have your wedding and/or reception. I could not be happier that we chose to book this location. Danielle was our venue coordinator who we worked with from our initial visit all the way through and beyond wedding day. She is prompt in responding to emails and calls. Every question we had was answered and she helped us with ideas along the way. The food (in house) was the best wedding food I’ve had anywhere and the options are top notch. The food tasting and the meetings were set up in detail so there were no questions as we approached wedding day. Once we checked in to the hotel everything ran so smoothly and the entire staff was amazing beyond expectation. Everything ran with ease and they made sure we were having the best time. I could not have landed a better location and I cannot recommend the Renaissance enough! You can’t go wrong booking this venue.

We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at the Renaissance and it was truly a magical experience. The building itself is gorgeous and the setting made our wedding even more fantastic. Most of our guests were from out of town and they truly appreciated the hotel’s central location and the ease of having all wedding activities in one location. They also enjoyed nearby Cincinnati attractions during the wedding weekend, such as the streetcar, the Banks, Findlay Market, Fountain Square, various museums, the Zoo, etc.
It was a pleasure to work with Danielle Clark and the entire hotel staff during the time prior to the wedding and on our wedding day. Danielle was always very responsive to our emails and was very helpful. The chef, banquet staff, post-wedding brunch staff, front desk staff, valets, room service personnel, etc. were all very receptive and understanding regarding our concerns, whether it involved rooms for our guests, guest count, parking, or dietary issues. Danielle was familiar with and worked efficiently with our planner, vendors, and officiant. The hotel staff was especially friendly and kind to us and all of our out-of-town guests who stayed at the hotel. Everyone raved about the hotel, the staff, the delicious food, the location, etc. We are thrilled that we selected the Renaissance for our wedding and will always cherish the memories of the day, which were made even more remarkable by the special Renaissance staff.

Every aspect of working with the Renaissance to plan our dream wedding was flawless. Danielle Clarke is a PHENOMENAL person to work with - she was easy to work with, thorough in her communications, very professional, had lots of recommendations and resources and ultimately made sure everything went perfectly. The food and beverage at the Renaissance is incredible, and the facilities are GORGEOUS. This is not your “typical” hotel wedding experience - this is a luxury, upscale experience. We had our dream day and are so grateful!

As a wedding planner, the Renaissance is one of my favorite venues in Cincinnati to hold events. Danielle and her staff consistently go above and beyond to make sure our couples' days run seamlessly. You can tell they truly care about making sure each client - and their families - are taken care of. If you're looking for a beautiful space with delicious food and service, I highly recommend the Renaissance Hotel for your wedding.

I couldn't be happier with my experience at the Renaissance. It was exactly what I pictured for my wedding weekend. From the moment we first toured the space to the day of our wedding, the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Danielle was the utmost professional and made me feel so special every step of the way. I could go on and on about how pleased we were with every detail of the entire weekend that was taken care of by the staff at the Renaissance. From our first meeting with Danielle a whole year out to the lovely details and incredible service at my bridal suite getting ready with my girls on my wedding day, I felt 100% taken care of by the Renaissance Hotel and the fantastic staff. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views and ample space for all of our guests. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the bar service was top-notch. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff at the Renaissance. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful and stress-free wedding experience. The last thing I'll say is that my dad (the one with the check and the "are you sure you don't just want to take the money and elope?" attitude) was blown away by how well we were taken care of all weekend. I've rarely seen him so enthusiastic and impressed.

The decision to have our large wedding reception at the Renaissance Cincinnati was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning journey. Burnham Hall is extraordinary with its beauty, grandeur and history! Additionally, nearly everything we needed was included such as the tables, chairs, cloths, place settings, table numbers and the dance floor…etc, etc! When these items need to be rented from outside sources, prices for your event begin to skyrocket, not to mention all the additional effort it takes to pull it together.
The food and beverage service quality was excellent and the tastings were fun, clear and oh so delicious! The staff was very professional and dedicated to a smooth and first class evening experience. We could not have been more pleased! All of this was pulled together seamlessly by our dedicated Renaissance event planner Danielle who answered every call, text and enquiry with grace and prompt efficiency! We loved her!
As the majority of our guests were arriving from out of town and staying at the Renaissance for the weekend, the hotel experience was also quite extraordinary. From the moment you pulled up in your car, the bellmen were falling over themselves to help you unpack your vehicle, see you to check in and get you settled in your room. The hotel also has a wonderful bar and dining area that added so much fun and a place for your guests to gather at the “in between “ moments of a full wedding weekend!
There are many cogs to the wheel of a large formal wedding and without a doubt, The Renaissance handled them all expertly. I give them a strong 10/10 and will be forever grateful!

Danielle at the Renaissance is AMAZING! She is very knowledgeable, organized and so easy to work with! Danielle was SO helpful during the entire process from initial venue selection to the whole planning process and finally throughout the wedding day itself. No question was too small, as she answered all with the same enthusiasm. Not once did I feel overwhelmed and stressed while working with her. She also had many great suggestions and ideas! She always took the extra step to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of! We are so thankful that she made sure every detail was perfect for our daughter and now son-in-law.
In terms of the space, the ballroom is large and the ceiling is beautiful. The food was also delicious. Our out of town guests all enjoyed the convenience of staying at the hotel as well. The entire Renaissance team, from valet to front desk and wedding staff, were all friendly and responsive.
Thank you, Danielle and the entire Renaissance team! We are so thankful that you made our daughter’s wedding day so perfect. We highly recommend the Renaissance and their wonderful team!

This venue is made for weddings. Tracy and her team were incredible to work with. They were so easy to communicate with leading up to the event, answering all of my questions and keeping us on track . As a bride who did not want to hire a wedding planner, the Renaissance team was perfect to make everything possible. They worked with my vendors the day of the wedding to put everything together behind the scenes so I wasn't bombarded with phone calls. The icing on the cake? The venue is absolutely beautiful and the food is delicious.

Danielle the wedding coordinator made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, helping finalize all the details, working with vendors and making sure the day ran smooth. The staff at the Renaissance were all very attentive, and the food was amazing! Plus you do not have to worry about things such as tables, linens, food, etc to ease some of the planning stress

I couldn’t be happier with our choice to have our reception at the Renaissance Hotel. The ability for guests to take an elevator to their room straight after the reception was a huge benefit, not to mention the ballroom is GORGEOUS. They have a BIG dance floor, and the staff here has always been extremely friendly, accommodating, and upbeat! They worked so hard to make all the little details of our day come together, and we are so appreciative. We had some very specific requests, and they delivered on all of them! The food was also DELICIOUS!! We had so many compliments from guests on how great their meals were!! As major foodies, we are so glad the food turned out great! The rooms were beautiful, and the location of this venue can’t be beat – right downtown & walking distance to a ton of restaurants & bars. We also did a farewell brunch the morning after the wedding, and the food & experience at this was outstanding too. It was so nice to see our guests again and mingle before everyone went on their way

The Renaissance is a spectacular wedding venue - Burnham hall and the loft above are beautiful and so elegant. The working staff was incredible and the food was excellent. However, we had a challenging time with the valet (they shut it down mid-event and told our guests to find their own parking) and event management team, as many of the details that we discussed prior to our wedding were not in place on the day of the wedding, so that was disappointing. If you are doing your wedding here, I would recommend being incredibly detail-oriented and on top of the Renaissance event management (or hiring a wedding planner to do this for you), as a lot got missed on our event that was clearly outlined and discussed ahead of time. Despite these mishaps, we still had an incredible wedding and the venue is truly breathtaking!

The Renaissance Hotel was beyond beautiful, the staff was amazing, and working with their wedding coordinator (Danielle) was excellent! 10/10 - Would 100% recommend you have your wedding here. The planning process was so easy with the Renaissance. They were there to answer questions every step of the way, and they were able to offer up suggestions to make our planning process even better.
The food was absolutely delicious! We had tons of rave reviews from our guest on the portion sizes of the meals and the quality of food. When we went in for our tasting, we were blown away by the flavors. You can’t make a wrong choice with the food options they have! We even had a farewell brunch with family and out of town guests the next day, and it was just as delicious. To add to just how amazing the service is at the hotel, my 90 year old grandmother wanted a scoop of ice cream for dessert at the wedding and a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast the next morning, and they did it without any hesitation or question.
All around, the service at the Renaissance was above and beyond. We had a small snafu where I sent an item out for drycleaning Friday night that I needed the next morning, and apparently the local cleaner wouldn’t have it done until Monday. I still have no idea what happened, but the hotel got my item back from the dry cleaner while we were at the rehearsal dinner down the street. Crisis averted!
I can’t rave enough about the experience with the Renaissance hotel. Between myself and my husband, our parents, and all of our guests, everyone was thrilled with the service and experience.

When we walked into the Renaissance we knew immediately that this was the place we wanted to have our wedding reception. We love the old charm and character the building offers. The ballroom is absolutely STUNNING. We also felt that we would be taken care of and that is exactly how you want to feel when planning a wedding. It was also a bonus to be able to crawl upstairs at the end of the night and not have to worry about shuttles.
We had to postpone our date TWO TIMES and the staff were very accommodating. We originally worked with Nikki before the pandemic hit and then began to work with Jordan. Both ladies were great to work with. Jordan picked up and finalized things as the big day drew near. It was very refreshing to see her familiar face when we got back to the Renaissance after the ceremony. She kept things moving and made sure we were taken care of all night long. EVERYONE that worked our wedding night (wait staff, bartenders, valet, etc) were all so friendly. Not just to the wedding party; but they were friendly to all of our wedding guests. That really was a true testament of how they are as a wedding venue and a business. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Renaissance for weddings or any event.

Our son's wedding was held at the Renaissance in September 2020. Planning a Covid wedding is hard, but Jordan and her staff made everything as easy and smooth as possible. Their wedding coordinating is a well-oiled machine and our event went off without one problem. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. It was professional, efficient and friendly. They honestly wanted to make the day special and went above and beyond to make sure that it was beautiful, fun and safe. You won't regret working with Jordan and holding a wedding at The Renaissance.

Our daughter’s wedding reception was held at the Renaissance Hotel Cincinnati July, 2020 and it couldn’t have gone smoother. Our experience was phenomenal from the beginning. Jordan’s guidance and professionalism, especially at this challenging and unprecedented time, was exceptional. Our needs were anticipated and every detail was planned out and executed without us having to worry about anything other than enjoying our daughter and son-in-law’s celebration. Jordan’s staff was also incredible to work with and we received countless compliments about their professionalism and friendliness also. The guests had a wonderful time enjoying the ceremony. Many guests stayed the night and the hotel rooms and overall amenities were top notch and general staff were great as well.

Truly the best choice we made with our wedding was having it at the Renaissance! Nikki took care of every single detail for our wedding day, going above and beyond the call of duty! She helped us be creative and provided so many options to personalize the venue and day for us. The staff at the hotel were so kind and generous, the customer service was truly exceptional. The service at the wedding was excellent, and every entree (for 300 guests!) came out hot and delicious. I wasn't worried about a single thing on my wedding day, knowing that Nikki and her team were on it. Cannot recommend highly enough!

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue. Nicki, Hollie, Gary and the entire staff were incredible to work with. They made everything feel easy and helped alleviate a lot of stress that comes with planning. The ballroom itself is STUNNING. A little lighting and some flowers are all you need to transform it into something. The night of our wedding the staff was attentive and responsive, and everyone was very friendly. Our guests loved the space and it's easy to see why. The size of the room meant it never felt crowded but the way the Renaissance team worked with the space it didn't feel empty either. I can't recommend this as a venue enough. We had ceremony and reception in the Burnham Hall ballroom. It was perfect for a dramatic effect since we knew we weren't having a church ceremony. My day was literally perfect and so many of our guests have said it was the best wedding they've ever been to - so much of this is due to the venue. I can't thank them enough!

As father of the bride, I couldn’t be happier and more satisfied on how the entire staff at the Renaissance starting with the valet guys, the staff at the bar, all the people that made that tremendous transformation from the ceremony setting into the spectacular layout for the dinner, the chefs and helpers not only at the food tasting but the actual dinner which was incredible. The layout and food got a 100% approval from one and all. A special thanks To Nikki who was there to oversee the rehearsal event. And now to a young lady that made this whole event come together, from a simple email with my daughter Amanda (the bride) from Fort Myers, Florida to this most spectacular of a wedding event. It was all because of how Jordan Adams took control and stepped my daughter and myself thru every step of the way. Jordan you were tremendous!!! The way you conducted the entire event last night was beyond what a bride and a father could have imagined. You came around and catered to me, Viki, AJ and Amanda all night long bringing us drinks and asking if we needed anything else. You are one energetic, intelligent and incredible young lady that the Renaissance should be very proud to call their own. Jordan, I personally could not have got this done without your personal and professional guidance. Jordan, I love you and the entire Renaissance team that made me the proudest father of the bride on Saturday November 16, 2019.
Thank you,

Our daughter's wedding reception was held at the Renaissance Hotel/Cincinnati this past August. Our experience was exceptional thanks to the professional guidance of our coordinator Jordan Adams. Jordan anticipated our needs before we even knew to ask, she was attentive, professional and a joy to work with. Every hotel employee was attentive, pleasant and helpful. The valet, front desk, housekeeping, bartender, and wait staff were fantastic! We had an additional 50 family members staying at the hotel and they all had only wonderful reviews of their experiences as well. Thank you Jordan and the fantastic staff at the Renaissance Hotel!

We toured multiple wedding venues in the greater Cincinnati area, but it wasn't until we visited the Renaissance that we knew this was the one. The Renaissance offers a classic elegance that is gorgeous and the perfect backdrop for the wedding of your dreams. Furthermore, the service was absolutely incredible and our guests have been raving about the wedding ever since. I cannot speak highly enough of Jordan and her team, as they provided exceptional service and executed the weekend flawlessly. Jordan is responsive, approachable, and welcoming, and often anticipated and resolved our needs before we even knew what to ask. I cannot recommend this venue enough and have already been encouraging newly engaged friends to consider getting married at this wonderful place.

We couldn't have picked a better venue for our wedding and reception. We had the best day ever! Jordan and her team made sure the experience was everything we could have asked for and more. I would definitely pick the same venue again if I had to do it all over again. If you go with the Renaissance, you won't regret it!

There is no other venue in Cincinnati as beautiful, classic yet modern as the Renaissance. All of our guests were commenting on how wonderful our venue was, and all of the staff made sure our wedding went off without a hitch. We love the Renaissance, we cannot recommend it enough!

Loved working with Heather and Jordan at the Renaissance. Jordan took over after Heather left - was a little hesitant but Jordan truly knows wha she is doing. She is very responsive to emails and truly wants to make the day about you. I would highly recommend this venue! We received many compliments on its' beauty and the staff is EXCELLENT!

The Renaissance was the perfect wedding venue for my husband and I! From the start of our planning, Jordan (our event coordinator) was very professional and answered all our questions thoroughly. From the food tasting to our final meeting, she was super organized and made us feel as ease.
As for the Renaissance, what a beautiful wedding venue! The staff was spot on the day of the wedding and we had so many compliments from our guests on how attentive everyone was. I would definitely recommend this venue to any couple beginning their search!

The Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown was simply outstanding, I give it the highest recommendation if you are planning a wedding reception in the Cincinnati area. Beautiful venue, the food was amazing and the staff is excellent paying close attention to every detail. As the parents of the bride, we along with daughter Catherine and fiancé Cody worked with Jordan Adams, she did an amazing job and made herself available to answer questions and make us feel extremely comfortable. The day of the wedding, Jordan was there to make sure everything was perfect.
Our out of town guests found booking to be extremely easy, the hotel amenities to be beyond expectation, and the staff extremely helpful and courteous.
Every detail from cocktail reception to the delicious meal, late-night snack, and Sunday morning brunch to the courteous and attentive staff made this an unforgettable experience.
We highly recommend the Renaissance Cincinnati to anyone planning a wedding reception in the Cincinnati area.

The Renaissance Cincinnati Downtown Hotel is an excellent choice if you are planning a wedding reception in Cincinnati. The Venue is beautiful, the food amazing and the staff is excellent. As the parents of the bride, we worked with Director of Catering, Jordan Adams to plan the event. Jordan did an amazing job coordinating everything. With her extensive experience with planning events, Jordan was an excellent source of information when guiding us through the planning process. The day of the wedding, Jordan was there to make sure everything was perfect. Gary Adams, Director of Banquet Operations worked with us to ensure AV equipment was setup and ready for presentations we had prepared for the reception. He even met with us a few days prior to the reception to do a trial run to make sure there were no issues with connecting our laptop to the equipment.
We had many out of town guests, so booking the event at the Renaissance made it extremely convenient for those guests and many local guests who reserved rooms at the Renaissance. They could enjoy themselves at the reception and didn’t have to worry about driving afterward.
Everything from the preparations for the cocktail area and the reception in Burnham hall, the delicious meal and late-night snack, to the courteous and attentive staff made this an unforgettable experience for the bride and groom and all our guests.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the entire event. Our guests told us that this was the best wedding reception they had ever attended. We can’t say enough about excellent service from management and staff. We highly recommend the Renaissance Cincinnati to anyone planning a wedding reception in the Cincinnati area.

We had our ceremony and reception at the Renaissance in Burnham Hall. People are still talking about our wedding! Maddie was our coordinator and she always went above and beyond to make sure that everything was taken care of. Her team did an amazing job accommodating our family and guests before, during, and after the ceremony and reception. Vendor coordination was also very organized!!

Jordan was amazing and a pleasure to work with!!! She is very organized and always made me feel like she had everything under control. The reception was beautiful, food was amazing, and everyone raved about what exceptional service they received when staying at the hotel. We have such special memories at the Renaissance we will be coming back for years to come.

It's been a little over a month since our wedding and our guests are still bringing up h0w beautiful our reception was at the Renaissance. The venue itself is elegant and timeless (and, to be honest, looks far less affordable than it is). Looking back on our pictures, I can honestly say that I could not have picked a more beautiful space.
More importantly, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our event manager, Jordan, and her team. She was easy to work with and did everything to make sure our day was perfect. Leading up to our wedding, Jordan was always available to answer any questions we had. The day of the wedding, she made sure that everything was perfect and ready to go. Our banquet manager, Gary Adams, also did an amazing job to make sure the evening was perfect. I can't say enough great things about everyone on the staff that evening and am so thankful for all of their hard work!
Jordan and her team truly went above and beyond to make this day great. We must have mentioned during one of our first meetings that my father-in-law preferred Sam Adams beer (which was not included in our package), so, at the reception, they brought in a case of Sam Adams specially for him. It was a completely unexpected and very thoughtful surprise. Another surprise came at the end of the night when we went up to our complimentary suite for the night - there were four pieces of our wedding cake cut and wrapped and a bottle of champagne waiting for us when we arrived - which was perfect because I realized, at that moment, that I had not even had a chance to eat a piece during the reception! Finally, I learned the day after the wedding that my car - which my husband had driven down on the day of the wedding - would not start after it was dropped off at the valet. One of the valets had jumped the car for us, so we would not be bothered on the day of our wedding.
Lastly, I want to touch on our meal during the reception. I think we all have pretty low expectations when it comes wedding food, but this meal blew any other out of the water and I'm very impressed with the catering team.
Thank you to everyone at the Renaissance for making our day perfect!

This place is AMAZING! Not only is the reception space beautiful but the staff here is nothing short of incredible. We worked with Heather and Jordan and the level of personal service these ladies provide is outstanding. We are part of a large family and have been to many weddings but this will go down as one of the best ever! Heather worked with us on every detail of the day and evening and everything went exactly to plan. The bride and groom were simply "over the moon" happy and couldn't believe how attentive Heather was to every detail. Our guests were all so impressed with the food, service and beauty of the ballroom. I can't say enough about this venue and all the wonderful people who work there -- they are OUTSTANDING!! Highly recommend for any wedding reception.

We used The Renaissance as our hotel for guest accommodations for our recent Cincinnati wedding (ceremony/reception held elsewhere). The entire bridal party stayed here and got ready here before leaving for the ceremony/reception. The planning process, accommodations and hospitality were everything we hoped for. The suites were more than spacious enough and had great natural lighting for hair and makeup, photography and videography to be done. If you are looking for a block of hotel rooms in Cincinnati I would definitely contact Lindsey Jett at The Renaissance. She was detail oriented, easy to communicate with and thought through every detail of what we needed for our guests and bridal party accommodations. My husband and I had an executive suite on an upper floor of the hotel for our wedding night that was breathtaking. We were so impressed and highly recommend this hotel!

Maddie and the staff at the Renaissance are nothing short of amazing! The entire planning process from start to finish was organized and every aspect of our reception turned out exactly as we imagined and planned. Burnham Hall is a beautiful, unique space and we were very happy with the result of our decor choices. Several guests commented on how wonderful the staff was in terms of the excellent customer service they provided. The servers and bartenders were all friendly and efficient. Every part of our meal was delicious, from the appetizers to the salad to the intermezzo course and entrees! I would highly recommend hosting your reception and/or ceremony at the Renaissance, you won't be disappointed!

Beautiful, just beautiful hotel and event space. Venue is one of a kind, a must see in Cincinnati. Understated elegance with many modern touches. The food was delicious, many guests continue to comment that it was the best they had ever had at a reception “Usually you will see food left on plates, every plate was cleaned”. The service was quick and attentive.
A special thank you to Jordan Adams., the coordinator we worked with She was most excellent at offering advice, providing guidance, listening to the Bride and Groom, and taking notice of what was needed. She is professional, detailed, a joy to work with.
Definitely a venue worth seeing if you are looking for a wonderful reception.

We had our cocktail hour & reception here and it was AMAZING! We worked directly with Heather Paparella and she took great care of us and made us feel like family. She made sure that every detail was worked out as we had discussed. She and her staff checked in on us to make sure the night was running smoothly, but they were never in the way. They always seemed to appear out of thin air with a fresh beverage or a new hot plate of food if the bride or grooms got cold. The bridal suite is a nice place to "rest your head" at the end of the night as well. We highly recommend choosing the Renaissance as your venue for your wedding. You WILL BE treated as royalty. You WILL HAVE the best night of your life.

Without a doubt the best indoor wedding reception venue in Cincinnati!!! The venue is gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the staff was great! Weeks later and our guests are still commenting on how much they enjoyed the venue and how beautiful the ballroom is.
We worked with Jordan Adams and she did an amazing job coordinating the event. She was an excellent source of information and advice throughout the process. Furthermore, she really went out of her way to make sure every request was accommodated throughout the planning process and on the big-day. For example, when a few of our guests tried to book a hotel room after our room block expired, she was the first person to make sure a room was available and made an exception to give them the discounted rate. During the planning process she offered insight into what has worked well with past weddings and, when the wedding day finally arrived, she made sure every little detail was perfect, including personally bringing us (bride and groom) food and drinks and leaving a handwritten thank you note in our room.
There were also a few perks to hosting an event at the Renaissance that we didn’t consider before we booked: it was easier on our guests since all they needed to do was walk up to their room after the reception (no need for cabs!), most of our other wedding vendors had worked in the space before so they were familiar with the space, and it had great acoustics for speeches and music (an overlooked point, but it really makes a huge difference). We really cannot say enough positive things about the Renaissance and its staff – our day went off without a hitch and we truly felt like royalty. We would highly recommend to any engaged couple!!

Not only is the hotel and Burnham Hall, specifically, beautifully designed, but also the delicious catering and service from Jordan and the rest of the staff made our wedding reception was an absolutely perfect affair! Our guests are still sharing compliments about it and I just can't say enough! We looked at a couple different venues and thought the Renaissance would be out of our budget but Jordan made it work and we were so pleased with the entire process. I can't say enough good things!
