Kelly D. Sent on 01/06/2024The Wedding Band of Your Dreams
Rennaissance Orchestra MADE our wedding. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to bringing the party is unparalleled. We love to dance, so an exceptional band was one of our top priorities for our wedding day. We chose Rennaissance Orchestra for several reasons up front: 1) they are a UNIT - meaning, they do not have band members rotating in and out. They are always the same group performing together, and this was extremely important to us. 2) They are incredibly professional and committed to delivering the best performance - despite being a Philadelphia-based band, they agreed to perform in Pittsburgh for our wedding. 4 months in advance, they traveled 5 hours each way to come see the venue, get a sense for the acoustics, and make a logistic plan for their equipment. We made a detailed timeline together, based on our preferences and their recommendations. When the found out our after party was two blocks away - they offered to do a second line for us! 3) Their setlist is incredibly comprehensive, with everything from Frank Sinatra and the Four Seasons to Taylor Swift and Dua Lipa. They also learned 3 new songs for us and (knocked them out of the park).
Fast forward to the wedding day, the dance floor was packed the entire night. The talent of this group is out of this world. They read the energy of the crowd and kept building on it. The vocalists are absolutely incredible. A consistent comment we heard that night was "this is the best wedding band I've ever witnessed" and "your band is unreal". To top it off we had a second line down the street to our after party, which felt like something straight out of a movie.
They are worth every single penny and frankly a whole lot more. Thank you Rennaissance Orchestra, you truly blew us away and gave us the wedding of our dreams! -

Renaissance Orchestra exceeded all of our entertainment expectations and made our wedding a night we will never forget. We had a backyard wedding, which was tricky to plan logistically but Phaedra (band manager) was so prompt to respond to my emails and troubleshoot any issues that arose. She really made me feel at ease because of her professionalism and knowledge. This band is so killer and they created the most unbelievably fun party experience we could have asked for. The musicians are incredibly talented!! My husband and I, along with our guests, truly had the night of our lives and that was in huge part to Renaissance Orchestra. They are a 10/10 and I would hire them again in a heartbeat!Renaissance Orchestra's reply:
Thank you Marie-Louise! So happy to have been a part of what I hope is a lifetime highlight for you, Sebastian and your families! xoxo -

Best wedding band OF ALL TIME!!
Renaissance Orchestra is the absolute best band on the face of the earth. My family has known Phaedra and the band for over a decade now, and when it came time to start planning my wedding - we reached out to them first even before venues to get a sense of their dates. It was the easiest and best decision we made in the wedding planning process. Phaedra is a brilliant and kind communicator and went above and beyond for us the day of the wedding. I was having some stage freight before our first dance and she stood outside on the porch with me and had me practice the dance, which immediately put me at ease. The dance floor was JAM
PACKED the entire night and we had a mixed crowd of our friends, our parents friends, and grandparents / their friends as well. Their repertoire is really extensive, and they even learned a few pop punk songs for us too. They freaking rocked it. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Renaissance!! They did continuous music for us, and at one point during the dinner, there was just the most beautiful version of an Adele song on the piano that several people told me it made them cry happy tears.
Our wedding was recently featured in Town & Country magazine, and it was super important to me to make sure they were mentioned.

This is the best wedding band in the world. You may think that’s an exaggeration but I can assure you it’s not. We saw this band perform at 2 of our friends’ weddings and knew we absolutely had to have them at ours. They were literally one of the first vendors we booked.
And they made our wedding. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the band was and how our wedding was the dance party of the year. People literally never left the dance floor!
Also, Phaedra and Leon are the nicest, easiest people to work with. They’re worth every penny! -

We used Renaissance Orchestra for our wedding and could not have been happier! The band was amazing playing a wide variety of songs and engaging with our guests to keep the party going - we got so many comments from our guests about how awesome the band was! The manager Phaedra is great and the most organized and responsive person you will find for any wedding vendor! -

Tori Sent on 04/11/2022Superbly Grateful To The Renaissance Orchestra!
We cannot say it enough - we are SOLD-OUT for the Renaissance Orchestra. We have guests who still can’t stop talking about how great the live music and dancing was on our wedding day. Our dance floor was packed all night, and were so delighted that the Renaissance Orch managed to get our friends/family out on the dance floor who normally are too shy! As a musician myself, they even went the extra mile and let me sing a song with them as a surprise for our guests! It’s a moment we still smile about. We are so grateful to Phaedra and her team for making our dreams come true for the lively, joyful environment we wanted to create during our reception - they were easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and helped us navigate seamlessly through a tough season of having to postpone/reschedule due to COVID. We now arrive at every wedding of our friends and family hoping that they’ve booked this band so we can jam all over with them again. Thanks for being such an integral part of our wedding day, Renaissance Orchestra! HUGS!

Everything we wanted
Planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic is stressful, to say the least. I needed a lot of hand holding and Phaedra was there for me through the whole process. The band was PHENOMENAL from ceremony until the last song of the night! Although the party looked a little different that we originally planned, the music and the dancing were everything we wanted and more! We would do it all over again if we could and can't wait until we get to see Renaissance Orchestra again in the future. -
