    As a vendor, I've worked both weddings and corporate events/galas @ the depot. The staff are professional and friendly. The space is great; they have something for any size event. And it's right downtown near everything WITH on site parking. Highly recommend them.

  • Great venue in the city

    I am a wedding photographer and have photographed a handful of weddings at the Renaissance Hotel. I love the architecture and the wide-openness of the space. With so much space there are many options for how the room can be used. It's a great way to keep everything all in one place for your guests.
