Michelle Lee’s Summary:
Is it your dream to have a destination wedding? Yet, you don’t want your guests to travel too far from home? If you live Philadelphia, or the surrounding area, you may have found the perfect spot for your wedding. This luxurious and trendy hotel is the new hotspot in Allentown, PA.
Wait a minute. Did I say, “Allentown, PA”? Yes! I did. If you haven’t been to Allentown lately, you may want to make a visit. This historic city is causing quite the buzz! You’ll find outside BBQ style restaurants, fun shops and luxury condos. What’s more? The people are awesome. Although I went to the Renaissance last week to DJ a corporate event in the morning, I ended up staying for a happy hour networking event. I met so many awesome people. I can’t wait to go back!
The Renaissance Allentown offers an elegant ballroom for your wedding reception. However, my favorite part is the rooftop patio! Imagine your outside ceremony overlooking the beautiful mountains of the Lehigh Valley. During your stay, you and your guests can dine in the hotel’s upscale restaurant called, “The Dime”. Your guests will be so impressed when your server greets them with their very own computerized menu! How fancy?! Yet, don’t just go by my word! Check it out for yourself.
To make a visit to this chic hotel, you can contact Erin Crofchick at ecrofchick@renaissanceallentown.com.
