A Renaissance Love Letter

 

Dear Melissa,

 

I wanted to say thank you for all of your assistance during our daughter’s christening this past Saturday Night at your beautiful establishment.

 

The service was wonderful and the food was delicious and everyone at the reception could not stop talking about how great everything was.  The place is beautiful and the chic that you feel is like you are in Manhattan. I will definitely have another function there again and will highly recommend “The Renaissance” to others that are planning future events. 

 

Thanks again for the first class treatment that you and the staff gave us, we will never forget it.

 

Regards,

Laura Tsoumas
