Louis Joliet Renaissance Center

I haven't been here in years, and the improvements and renovations are incredible. I hope we can host an event here soon!

We selected the Renaissance for our wedding reception venue in September 2021, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! Our guests praised the facility, the spacious dance floor, the delicious food, and the attentive staff. From the start, Mo (along with Maura and Charlie) was exceptionally organized and remained attentive throughout the entire planning process. It was a true pleasure working with them. We highly recommend this venue! (The photos were taken by Kenzie Leigh Photography, who we also enjoyed working with!)

We held our ceremony and reception at the Renaissance Center, and after some initial concerns due to changes in management and catering earlier in the year, we were pleasantly surprised by how things turned out, thanks to Susie. She truly went above and beyond to ensure our happiness, paying attention to every detail and fulfilling all of our requests perfectly. Our wedding day felt magical—better than we could have ever imagined. The food was fantastic, with the tomato soup and grilled cheese shooters being a big hit among our guests. The staff was extremely attentive throughout the event as well. A huge thank you to Susie for everything! This venue is LGBTQ+ friendly, and I would highly recommend hosting your next event at the Renaissance Center.

We held our wedding reception here and couldn't be more thrilled with our choice of venue. Charlie and Mo were incredibly helpful in coordinating everything. Several guests mentioned it was the best dinner they've ever had at a wedding!

My husband and I had the incredible opportunity to celebrate not just one, but two weddings at the Renaissance Center! Without a doubt, this is the best venue for both ceremonies and receptions. In November 2020, we held a small, COVID-friendly ceremony on the stunning atrium stairs. A year later, we finally got to host our dream reception in the banquet hall on our anniversary. The staff truly goes above and beyond to surpass your expectations. We had a fantastic experience working with them, and our guests also loved their time here! The venue is beautiful, the staff is amazing, helpful, and incredibly friendly (a special shoutout to Maura Charlie), and the food is delicious. Thank you, Renaissance Center!
