The best day of our lives!

My husband and I had our wedding at the Savery at the beginning of the month (December). We truly do not have enough good things to say about the whole entire experience. Christie is professional and so easy to work with. She's very knowledgeable and would answer any little question we had the past year with great detail. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful and elegant, but the staff were so so great! We were SO impressed with how quickly food/dessert was served and how utterly kind the wait staff specifically were. We've had people nonstop tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. There truly isn't a thing we'd change about the whole experience and if I could rate more than 5 stars, we would in a heartbeat. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much Renaissance Savery! It was the best day of our lives and it ran so perfectly because of the hardwork and communication they devoted to us.

Couldn’t Be Happier!

Working with the Renaissance team was such a smooth and enjoyable experience! Matthew was on top of every detail and extremely flexible, kind, responsive, and helpful. Every request or question I had was taken care of quickly and always with a smile. I would love to have another event at the hotel and work with this team again!
