“We had the pleasure of hosting our intimate wedding for just over 50 guests at the Renaissance Event Hall in May 2024. The event space is beautiful— although the surrounding area is a bit rough, it’s a space that’s large enough to really bring your vision to life. Originally, our ceremony was supposed to be held on the outdoor patio but after a “rain plan” rehearsal we decided to have the ceremony indoors to make use of the beautiful grand staircase. Affordable space— for NYC? Absolutely. Food— great! Bar— great! Staff— amazing! Shout out to Larry for the amazing lighting. Both Larry and Lisa went above and beyond to make sure guests were served, comfortable, and having a great time. My only wish was that there was a separate groom suite that’s apart from the bridal suite. Here we had to use a foldable partition to separate the bride side from the groom side. Also, our rehearsal was double booked with another wedding party the day before our wedding which was a bit disappointing having to wait and navigate around their rehearsal to complete ours. However, this just seemed to be a simple miscommunication between Lisa and her assistant which I’m hoping won’t be the case with another bride/groom. Overall, it was the perfect space to host our wedding. Lisa was such a pleasure to work with and had such great insights on how to bring together the event in a manner that made the best use of the space. Thank you to the Renaissance Event Hall team!”

“Sound River Studios was the perfect venue. From our first visit we were amazed at how personable and committed to making our day special the team was. While most venues unlocked the doors and let us take a quick look, Una spent the better part of an hour giving us a full tour, showing us photos of countless possible setups, and answering any and every question we could think of. Throughout the planning process Una was always ready to help, not to mention tell us a great story. Nikola was also gracious enough to host us for a great tasting of the wine offerings from the family vineyard. The view of the city speaks for itself, but the space is also beautiful and very flexible. We were able to bring in a variety of outside vendors to transform the space in a way that fit our vision and felt very personal. SRS was easy to work with and the day of ran very smoothly, even with a variety of vendors. We couldn't be more happy with our experience. Highly recommend!”
