this band is so great! I highly recommend them. they even played a bit longer on the last dance until my groom could be located. the entire party was dancing and all the guests had a great time. Phaedra is great to work with and I appreciated that she is very personable and nice.

I cannot write enough good things about Phaedra and the Renaissance Orchestra. They were complete professionals throughout the entire process. Our Wedding was the weekend of Halloween so we requested that they play Thriller. It was their first time playing it and it sounded like they had been playing it for years. They are all extremely talented musicians and can play any song that you could ever think of. Our entire party was out on the dance floor all night. The energy was so intense that we decided not to have the cake cutting ceremony because everyone was having so much fun on the dance floor. It has been months later and we are still receiving compliments about the band. I truly am thankful for finding this band and I hope I go to a wedding in the future where they are playing.

Our daughter's wedding last week was such FUN! The dance floor was hopping throughout the entire reception! We had seen/heard Renaissance Orchestra at 2 other weddings and we were instantly hooked. We LOVE them! They are truly amazing. They played everything my daughter wanted, and played it well. They looked great and sounded great! They were so easy to work with, they were always responsive to our questions, and they have a huge repertoire. They handled every detail: ceremony music, cocktail hour, introductions, reception, etc.. I enjoyed the party because I knew we were in great hands! They know how to run a wedding party - our guests raved about the band, and how terrific they were. Thank you Renaissance Orchestra! You're the BEST!

LOVED THEM. my family is not known for dancing... in fact, they are known for NOT dancing. thanks to renaissance orchestra, everyone was dancing. it was really really fun, they played songs everyone loved and really kept the energy going all night. they provided different music during cocktail hour and dinner, and they rotated breaks so there was almost the full band playing the whole time. everyone said how classy and fantastic the band was. i was SO HAPPY i found them after talking to and listening to other bands (more popular/well-known bands in the area) that were in the same price point. i had almost given up on the search for a good band and they came along! thank you renaissance orchestra.

Awesome, gifted, professional group of people. Worth every penny. So many of my guests commented on how much they enjoyed the band. Several even stated that the band was the best they had ever heard. I agree. Thank you, Renaissance Orchestra, for making my reception so memorable. Good luck.

Renaissance is the most amazing wedding band out there. They made our wedding more magical than we could have imagined, and our guests still haven't stopped raving about how much fun they had. The entire process was seamless and professional and the results were magnificent and flawless. Their repertoire is like nothing else out there and their talent is unparalleled. Our dance floor was packed the whole night, and we could not have been happier with our choice. Just perfect!

The Renaissance Orchestra played during our ceremony and reception at our wedding at the Ballroom at the Ben in March. EXCELLENT BAND! The dance floor was full the entire evening! Guests raved about the music! Extremely professional through the entire planning process as well as the wedding! They even learned a song for us last minute....about a week before the wedding.

He took great care to make sure that I had everything that I needed and to make sure that I had everything booked in time. He is really friendly and makes sure to return every phone call. I booked my band and ceremony music through him. We also used the members of the band for our ceremony musicians, which worked out great. They absolutely made our wedding. Thank you !

Renaissance Orchestra provides such a fun and amazing performance and gets EVERYONE on their feet dancing. Mine was the third wedding in our family and the third time we went with this band...there is NO other, in our opinion. Our guests continue talking about this band for months after the wedding and have nothing but great things to say. They are wonderfully talented and fabulous to work with. My family looks forward to seeing them again at our 4th sister's wedding in the future!!

I first heard the Renaissance Orchestra play at my brother's wedding. I HAD to have them at my wedding a year and a half later! They did a great job with the music, working with other vendors, and keeping the dance floor full! They dress to impress, are good people, and will learn up to 3 songs. They learned the NFL Monday night football theme for my brother's wedding and learned MGMT's "Kids" for my wedding. It was a surprise for my husband since it is his favorite song. We were announced as husband and wife to it and they later played the song in it's entirety. They did a great job with both songs. I think having the Renaissance Orchestra at my wedding really was the icing on the cake! Our guests raved for weeks and still talk about them! One of my friends is getting married in May and as soon as she got engaged she booked them! I can't wait to hear them play again! Thank you so much for making my wedding dreams come true!

The Renaissance Orchestra was beyond what I could possibly have hoped for for my wedding. From my first contact with Phaedra, the manager, they were extremely professional, responsive, and courteous. At the wedding, their high-energy mix truly pleased everyone, from my eighty-year-old grandparents to my teenaged cousins -- I had to keep reminding myself to take a quick break from dancing to go get a glass of water because I was dancing so much! My guests were on the dance floor ALL night, dancing to all of our favorites. They played all the songs we requested, filled in the mix with other great choices, and emceeded perfectly. I honestly could not have asked for anything better, and was thrilled with them from day one all the way through when we made our getaway at the end of the night. HIGHLY recommended!

Josh and I couldn't have asked for anything better. From meeting the band through planning the wedding and the actual day's performance, The Renaissance Orchestra was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. They went above and beyond to help set up sound for our actual ceremony, which wasn't part of the actual contract, but they were more than happy to help since they get their early to set up. The best part about the band is that they will be the life of your reception. All our guests had a wonderful night because the band got everyone up and dancing. They never stop playing and countless people commented on how fabulous the band was. As you probably know, the band can make or break your event, so if you are looking to have an event that people remember and comment on for weeks after, I would highly recommend contracting the Renaissance Orchestra. Thank you again for everything - Katie

I was uneasy at first about booking a band for our wedding. We've mostly been to weddings with DJs or a wedding band that was stuck in the 80s. Phaedra and the rest of the Renaissance Orchestra were were not like that at all, they were FANTASTIC. I very rarely rate anything all 5's, but if I could rate them higher I would. The band never took a break, learned 3 songs for us, and did an excellent job feeling the crowds "vibe" and choosing what to play. Everyone left the wedding saying how great they were and asking for their cards. You can't go wrong with these guys, they were definitely money well spent.
