Renaissance Event Hall
The Renaissance Event Hall in
Long Island City, NY is a convenient
location for events and weddings,
particularly in Queens. Located close
to Astoria and Manhattan, couples can
enjoy their reception without worrying
about guests having to travel long
distances, especially when they choose
to have the ceremony in one of the
many churches in Astoria.
For those interested in outdoor
photos, the hall is also located near
Astoria Park, Socrates Sculpture Park,
Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms
Park, and Gantry Plaza State Park for
dramatic views.
Renaissance Event Hall was
recognized in the last three years (2015,
2016, and 2017) with Wedding Wire’s
“Bride’s Choice” and The Knot’s “Best
of Weddings” Awards.
Q: What makes the Renaissance
Event Hall a good choice for a
wedding?
A: We host only one event at a time.
Our space is newly renovated and in
summer 2018 we will also open our
backyard for ceremonies.
Q: How have weddings changed at
the Renaissance since the time you
started until now?
A: We used to have many inquiries
for all-inclusive packages where the
���������������� �������� �������� ���������������������������� ��������
included. Now a days the couples like
to customize their event alone to give a
personal touch to the special occasion.
Q: How many guests attend an
average wedding at your venue?
A: 125-400 guests.
Q: How far in advance should
couples begin planning their wedding
at the Renaissance?
A: It should be 9-12 months,
however, we had couples book
less than 3 months in advance and
they had a lovely celebration. I
suggest if you have never planned
any event before, give yourself.
For couples interested in planning
their wedding at Renaissance Event
Hall, appointments are available
11:30am – 6:30pm, 7 days a week. A
baby grand piano is available to rent
by the hour to be played by a pianist
the couple provides or the Renaissance
can provide the pianist as well, for an
additional fee.
As noted on the website, “Guests
are greeted in the lobby bar, its simple
elegance punctuated by a baby grand
��������������������������������������������������������������������������
curved staircase. Marble steps descend
to reveal the neoclassic decor of the
main reception hall and hardwood
����������������������������������������������������������������������������
�������������� ������ �������� �������������������� �������� ����������
balconies.
The perfect setting for any stylish
event, from a wedding ceremony,
reception, to corporate functions,
������������ ������������������ �������������������������� ����������������
photo shoots and fashion shows.”
The 12,000 square foot wedding
venue also features a full-service
kitchen providing catering options for
buffet and plated dinners, capacity for

cocktail guests, state-of-the-art audio
