The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly attentive. The owners, Rebecca and Yvan, and their team were so helpful and accommodating from start to finish. It can be hard to choose the perfect wedding venue and at first, we weren't sure what to expect. But after our tour, we knew this was the place for us. The outdoor patio area was intimate, warm, and beautiful! We rented space heaters in case, but we didn't end up needing a tent - though My Kitchen can rent a tent if needed. We had the reception outside, with string lights hanging above. It created such a magical atmosphere as the sun set, and the lights added the perfect touch. We had about 40 guests and there was definitely enough space for all of us. Even though parking was limited, guests were able to easily find street parking in the surrounding residential area even on a Saturday night. Overall, we highly recommend this venue - beautiful space, exceptional professionals, and amazing service!

where do I even begin? Having our wedding with Ravel events exceeded our expectations more than I…read moreever could have imagined. From start to finish everything was perfection thanks to our amazing coordinator that the Ravel provided us with Eman. From day one Eman was there to guide me and support me through the whole wedding process. everyone was saying I was one of the most chill brides and I honestly think it's because of how easy Eman and the Ravel made this experience! On the wedding day, I was assigned a bridal attendant, Jadelyn. I wasn't quite sure what to expect since we had never met before, but she quickly became one of the highlights of my day. She was kind, attentive, hardworking, and always one step ahead of anything I needed. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease, as though I had another friend by my side throughout the day. The food, the views, the service... No notes. It was a dream. The week leading up to the wedding I was really nervous since the weather was predicting rain the day of the wedding. Eman gave me many different options to make sure my day would go exactly the way I wanted despite rain, but she was still very hopeful and positive that it would clear up. Fortunately, for us, no rain, beautiful clear skies, and our dream rooftop ceremony was able to happen. Plus, we got the most beautiful sunset. The thing about the Ravel is that it faces the city so you get the most beautiful views of Manhattan. Views that guest still are raving about and almost every guest has a new profile picture on their Instagram and Facebook of them at the Ravel with the view! And top it off the night was so perfect that Eman was able to open the roof of the penthouse for us to have the most dreamy night under the stars. If you're thinking about having your wedding at the Ravel, do not even double think it. It was the most perfect planning experience and the most perfect night. Thank you to everyone at the Ravel, especially Eman and Jadelyn!

My wife and I looked at several venues in the NYC area (specifically in Greenpoint, Red Hook, and…read moreJersey City). When we stepped into Ravel, we could immediately envision ourselves getting married there. Between the amazing views of Queens on the rooftop, the stunning backdrop of NYC from the penthouse, and the indoor spaces that allow for flexible weather planning, Ravel provided many beautiful options for hosting our wedding. We worked with Eman, and she helped us plan our wedding in less than 5 months! She is so much more than an event manager, she is your go-to person from the moment you book Ravel to the very last minute of your wedding day (and even after)! It was so fun getting to know her during the planning process, and she executed the day flawlessly. Our event booking also came with a bridal attendant, and Jadelyn was the greatest asset on the day of. We LOVED our wedding at Ravel, and so did our guests! We've been married for four weeks, and all of our friends and family are still gushing about the food, the drinks, and the views. Truly, the food was INCREDIBLE. I'm obviously biased, but I've personally been to 50+ weddings, and I cannot recall guests enjoying the food as much as they did at Ravel. If you're even considering this location, go immediately, meet Eman, try the food, and book it!

Their responsiveness, helpfulness, and engaging personalities added to the overall positive experience. The hall itself is stunning and I regret not having better pictures to capture its beauty. We were able to utilize both the outside for our wedding ceremony and the inside for our reception, creating a seamless and enjoyable experience for our family and friends. My husband and I, decided to do buffet style for the dinner. The food served at the buffet was absolutely amazing. We also chose the premium open bar, the bartenders did an amazing job with the drinks. My husband and I wedded on July 26,2024, and to this day our family and friends still talk about how much fun they had and how delicious the food and drinks were. If you're considering hosting an event, I highly recommend choosing Renaissance as your venue. Trust me, you won't regret it! #TheWillis's

The worst venue EVER!!! Besides the fact that they have no parking whatsoever, and a valet parking…read morecompany that takes your car someplace - The wedding ceremony was held outside around the corner. There wasn't enough seating for everyone so only family could sit. They had no way to get to this area from the inside without going outside. STUPID! Now to the venue. The place itself is very pretty, but totally impractical. There is marble everywhere, stairs too. Problem? Stairs have cracks in them and I almost fell down the stairs because my heel got stuck in a crack on the steps. There's what looks like a bucket open "elevator" that was out of order. How the f**k do you have a venue that holds 250 people with no working elevator. Plus everything was on different floors. There were elderly people and some with canes, that had to go up and down the stairs. Ridiculous!! Can you spell FIRE HAZARD? The "cocktail hour" - if you could call it that - was practically non-existent. There was no place to sit and there was 2 small trays of food - one with fruit and the other with rolled up salami on a mozzarella "stick" or wrapped around a sesame bread stick. Looked like something you'd find in a supermarket. All small amounts. Maybe there were 6 little bistro tables with 2-3 chairs at each table. Certainly not enough room for all 250 people who were in attendance at this wedding. The bar was a joke as well. Couldn't get a glass of water it was so packed in the lobby area. Do you see a way to get out of this venue should there be a fire? I didn't. From the lobby floor area you could look down on the tables where everyone will be sitting for dinner. There were salad plates at each place setting that was sitting out for at least 2 hours before we would be going down for dinner. Seriously?? Soggy and small. Yuck. There was just 1 bartender in the main dinner area. The bartender couldn't even get the drinks right! Now the waiters come around to take your order off of the menus on the table that the bride and groom chose. We were hopeful that all the food would be good. First course was Pasta alla Vodka. Trust me... this was NOT Pasta alla Vodka. There were these dark bitter herbs (tasted like Tarragon!) all over the pasta that was gross. Plus the pasta was so over cooked it was mushy and falling apart. Main course didn't fair much better. I got the salmon which sounded yummy from the menu. It was drowned in too much sauce and still managed to be dry. Plus the portion sizes were a joke. My husband got the steak which was also small and overdone. Others got the Chicken Marsala which sounded like it would be good. It was not. The music. The bass was so loud that you couldn't even decipher the song, and the music bounced off all of the marble ceilings, walls, and floors! You couldn't even hear yourself think it was so loud, let alone trying to talk to someone right next to you at your table. After hearing later that this sweet couple paid $30,000 for this atrocity makes me so mad for them. This is by far the WORST wedding venue I've ever attended. H O R R I B L E !!

I don't know, but I finally had the opportunity to dine here with our group from the Bayside Hills Civic Association. * Service 3 out of 5 = Service was a little slow, but we did have a group of 25. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. Just keep in mind that you may have to wait a little bit for the food to come out. I was told that the owner cooks everything by herself so in that regard you know it's prepared with lots of love. * Decor 3 out of 5 = Average interior appointments. You won't be wowed away with the interior design or the silverware. * Food 4 out of 5 = we had the following : - Bread drizzled with olive oil. Nothing fancy, I know it's complimentary, but I would have preferred they gave us the olive oil with some salt and pepper so we can season our own bread. - Calamari- Lightly breaded, not too greasy with a crunchy exterior and contrasting soft interior. The marinara sauce was ok. - Caprese salad - The freshness of the tomatoes paired with creamy mozzarella and aromatic basil created a harmonious blend of flavors. I was disappointed that there was no drizzle of balsamic glaze. - Penne ala vodka - Perfectly cooked al dente and the best part of the pasta, it came out piping hot! The penne perfectly absorbed the rich and velvety vodka-infused tomato cream sauce. - Pollo francese - The tender chicken cutlets were coated in a light, lemony egg batter. The lemon butter sauce was a perfect complement, providing a zesty and velvety finish to each bite with a wonderful balance of savory and citrusy notes - Cannoli cream cake - Delicious and moist and i was told by the server all the desserts are homemade. A nice way to end dinner with a slice of cake paired with a cup of cappuccino, perfect. ******Overall restaurant score 4 out of 5****** This corner restaurant is a hidden gem. It's small and exudes a sweet charm, making it an ideal spot for a cozy meal. The portion sizes are smaller when compared to other restaurants and there are areas that can be improved on, like presentation and plating. It's the little details that should never be overlooked. NOTE: No private parking lot. Plenty of street parking and outdoor patio opens up for dining when the weather warms up.

Our centerpieces were also missing things that we agreed on which were supposed to be hanging tea lights and rose pedals and tea lights on each table . I'm very disappointed because we trusted this company and to have to think of this as a memory is very disappointing. We have pictures to prove everything. For a grown adult to do such terrible centerpieces for a very expensive sweet party is very sad and shocking.
