We had both our ceremony and reception at the Renaissance. Tiffanie was so helpful throughout the entire process of prepping and planning! Any issue or problem we had, she did everything in her power to come up with a solution that worked for everyone. She also ensured she was there throughout the big day to make sure everything was going smoothly. We definitely got the best value we could have asked for at the Renaissance Hotel! The food was great, the staff was very professional, and they were also able to cater to special dietary needs for some of my family.

Venue, gorgeous. Staff, fantastic. Food, delicious. Views, phenomenal. Bar, amazing. Amenities, excellent. Rooms, impeccable. Facilities, outstanding. Location, unbeatable. Coordination services, absolutely MARVELOUS. I honestly can not say enough wonderful things about this hotel.

For our wedding the Renaissance hosted over 100 of our closest friends and family from all over the country for almost an entire week. What started as a weekend wedding quickly turned into a festive week long family reunion. During our stay we enjoyed most evenings out on the patio overlooking the water, afternoons relaxing poolside or in the hot tub, mornings dining in at their fantastic restaurant (with incredible service), and nights laughing and watching movies together in our suits after a round at the bar. Weather we needed directions to downtown, extra towels delivered to the room, recommendations for dinner, or just friendly smile as we walked through the lobby; I have never been in a hotel that has had such an attentive and friendly staff that appears to genuinely be excited to help you in any way that they can. You can really tell that there is a certain culture at work with this team that prioritizes making their guests feel welcome at every turn. I know for us, as well as our friends and family, the fantastic service was really the icing on the cake to the overall wonderful experience we all had staying at the Renaissance.

From our first time meeting with Tony to our last relative checking out of the hotel, the Renaissance made sure that ever moment we and our guests experienced was absolutely picture perfect. They truly went above and beyond in so many ways to show that they cared about us and our experience at their hotel. The proof was in their attention to details. My husband and I have completely head over heals fallen in love with the Renaissance and it's staff. So much so, that we have already planned to try and spend every anniversary that we can with them.

We had our wedding and reception at the Portsmouth Renaissance Hotel. It was a lovely location and Toni made the whole process hassle free. The only hiccup was that the city had put up a fence near where we going to have our ceremony (just a few days before the wedding). Toni worked with us and moved us to another location that was just as beautiful. The decorations were lovely, the food was terrific. We had a wedding with 122 guests. The staff were fantastic and responsive to our needs and requests. I would definitely recommend this venue to others.
