Renaissance Event Hall
in Long Island City will
be holding a Love Affair
Showcase on Oct.
24 to reveal its updated
venue space after four
years of renovations.
Renaissance Event Hall
opened in 2001, and since then
it has been the recipient of multiple
awards, such as inclusion in wedding website
The Knot’s 2019 Hall of Fame.
The space holds events ranging from wedding
ceremonies and receptions to fire department holiday
parties to film shoots. Past guests have included
rapper Remy Ma and Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Teresa Lisson, co-owner of Renaissance Event
Hall, explained that being located in Long Island
City has attracted a diverse range of guests and has
allowed the business to host a wide array of events.
“Our neighborhood is so full of surprises every
day,” Lisson said.
Their October Love Affair event will showcase
the new features that the event hall added during
its renovations, including added space that
will accommodate 450 cocktail guests or 350
seated guests.

Some other highlights of the improved
12,000-square-foot space
are a new garden, a bridal suite,
an audio-visual system and a fullservice
kitchen.
“Our kitchen is now double
sized and we can now serve
faster, so the logistics in the
kitchen are much more comfortable,”
Lisson said.
Michelin star recipient and “Iron Chef” winner
Eduard Frauneder is now the head chef
of this new kitchen for deluxe weddings. The
Love Affair Showcase will debut highlights of
his menu.
The showcase will also feature live musicians including
The Harmonia Chamber String Quartet and
violinist Arsen Ketikyan.
The event is targeted to wedding couples and
event planners, but all are welcome to attend.
“Everybody who wants to have a very classy
and extraordinary special event should come
because we are going to have so many nice vendors
here,” Lisson said.
The event is set for Thursday, Oct. 24, from
6 to 9 p.m., and tickets are $35. To register, visit
