The Renaissance Center Restaurant and Banquet Facility.
  
Grand Ballroom
Guests enter the Renaissance Center through the canopied Ottawa Street entrance where they pass the eyes of the guardian lions that provide an aura of grandeur and majesty. The patio garden area with its 50 foot ceiling and surrounding brick walkway offers guests a sense of Old World elegance unduplicated in the Joliet and outlaying Will County area. The magnificent stairway leading up to the Grand Ballroom has been the site of numerous wedding ceremonies and musical performances.
A series of shuttered French doors lead visitors into the Grand Ballroom. The elegance, flexible usage and available technical resources of the Ballroom are unrivaled.
RenCen weddings

The Ballroom can accommodate:
  • banquet seating for 450

For medium-sized events - one side of the ballroom can be set up for training or meeting purposes and the other side for either buffet or sit-down food service.

The Ballroom provides access to the Will County Historical Museum via a rooftop terrace. The open-air terrace is partially covered by a teak canopy providing protection from the elements.
