Renaissance Bridals

onfidence when he finally asked me which dress I felt more "me" in. Looking back at the photos I am so glad he helped me with this decision! I picked up my dress a week ago, it only took 4 months to ship even in middle of pandemic, and it's absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to wear it.

pecial. He asked me what I like, but also recommended I try on other dresses that I would not have chosen myself to help me see some more options. Jon joined right in with the Grinch jokes that my sister and I were reminiscing about, as we came to find out we all share a love of the movie. He helped me to find my perfect dress and I could not be more excited for my wedding day. Jon created a warm, comfortable, and fun environment for such a special day.

had envisioned. I was completely blown away by the dresses and the experience in general.

’t sure! We were the only ones in the store during my consultation which made it feel intimate and like all the focus was on me! I highly recommend here for your bridal gown needs!!

ing it can also be a little anxiety provoking, especially for me who has always dreaded trying on clothes/feeling self conscious etc. My experience at Renaissance was nothing short of magical. This was because of Jon, one of the owners, who created a safe, comfortable place for me, my mom and sister to have the best experience possible. Jon is charming, intuitive, authentic, and so brilliantly gifted at what he does. He did not sell me a dress, he created an experience. He helped guide and talk me through each dress helping me identify what I did and didn’t like about each piece until we found the one that was meant for me. There are no words to truly articulate how highly I recommend you to go here. You will not regret it. Go here if you want a genuine, personalized, empowering experience.

ould really know the dress. She has great knowledge of how dresses are made and modifications that can be made. I found my dress there and can’t wait to wear it!

stressful time and not being able to run business as usual due to the virus, he somehow turned that into an incredibly positive experience! He was able to sit down with me one-on-one to really understand what I was looking for so he could help me find exactly what I had envisioned (and more). The fact that we got to be the only bridal party there at the time made it such a relaxing and easy-going experience! It also felt really safe, because they are very careful with masks adorned, and keeping everything very sanitary. You can absolutely tell that they care deeply for their customers. The most impressive part, is that I could tell he really cared and was giving me his undivided attention, because the very first dress he pulled was the dress that made me say YES! I'm one of the most indecisive people. He wasn't pushy, and made sure that I was coming to my own conclusions about what I liked with each dress. He asked me questions per our consultation and let me come to my own conclusions about what I wanted. I had struggled at an appointment at another bridal salon for not knowing what I wanted, but here, he helped to make it the most enjoyable and easy experience. Lastly, the building is absolutely gorgeous. I can't say enough good things about this place. I would recommend Renaissance Bridal to anyone looking for a dress. I will never forget my experience! Thank you, Jon!

am really happy with how Jon handled everything. I really did like it a lot better than having so many people there. We were the only ones in the store, Jon’s undivided attention and I felt even more special! I would recommend Renaissance Bridals to anyone!

n’t imagine going anywhere else. The space is beautiful, the dresses are beautiful, absolutely recommend!

n helped me pick out my perfect dress! He really listened to what I had to say about every dress that he put me in and went off of that to bring me a new dress to try. I would definitely recommend Renaissance Bridals to anyone!

haven't decided yet on 'the one', but he got me many more steps ahead than I thought I would be and didn't try to push me to choose one. There is also quite a large selection, and for a plus size girl like me there were plenty of options to try which caught me a bit offguard. I am more than happy with the experience I had here and would recommend to soon-to-be-brides like myself to check out!

ere the only ones in the shop at the time and Jon greeted us with a friendly smile, a temperature gun, and hand sanitizer. The shop has an incredible inventory and I have a feeling there's a style for every type of bride in this shop. You can tell Jon has been doing this work for 30 years because he was incredibly kind, supportive, and knoweldgable. I came in with a general idea of what I was looking for and a limited budget and Jon found the dress of my dreams within his first 3 selections! If you are located in Central PA or even beyond (I'm from Philly) you need to check-out Renaissance Bridal! You'll love it!

ce is definitely COVID safe, he cleans between each client. He made me feel confident in everything I tried on. I tried on 10-15 dresses before finding my dress and John was so patient with us! He does not try to sway your opinion or get you to try on anything outside of your budget. I definitely recommend this place to any bride or bridal party!

fore entrance. The owner of the shop was the person I had the pleasure of working with (John). He was amazing at pulling dresses that worked well for my body, but also highlighted the style I was looking for. This was the first place I had ever been and by the 6th dress I knew which one I was taking home! He also worked with my budget but didn’t sugar coat thing. Never made me try on a dress out of my price range, or manipulated me into buying a dress I didn’t love. 10/10 would recommend anyone to this fabulous place! They also offer wedding accessories!

d the place, we seriously had the best day ever!! I highly recommend looking here!

! I couldn't be happier with the shop and with my dress!

to go over where I'm at in the search process and what I'm looking for. He was so personable and I could already tell this experience was going to be different. The moment we showed up, our safety during these tough times was top priority with temp checks and sanitizer. Jon got to work and pulled a couple of dresses. This is where the story gets good.. First dress - immediately told my MoH that we'll probably be able to eliminate this one because it wasn't really what I was looking for. It had some of the things I wanted but was missing some things. Boy did that change once I saw myself in that mirror. Fast forward a few more dresses and I found myself comparing every dress to that first one. That was my dress. I put it back on and the eyes started watering. Jon knew. He had me put that dress on first on purpose. He knew based off of what I was looking for and once he saw me that dress would look amazing on me. Morale of the story - Renaissance gives you that stress free and professional experience every bride to be needs right now.

ons. If you're nervous to shop during the pandemic, Renaissance wins by a landslide. Temperature checks and sanitizer at the door, masks on, and I had the entire store to myself which meant a more personalized and longer experience which isn't something that would happen in normal times. And lastly, we found my dress there! I was able to take home the sample which was great since timing was a slight concern. With all that, I highly recommend Renaissance Bridals.

I probably wouldn't have picked myself, but really helped me see what I might like a little bit outside of what I had imagined. I ended up finding the perfect dress and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The dress was also unique - I'd been to 2 other bridal salons and hadn't seen anything like it. Jon was incredibly professional and attentive and not at all pushy. He also took COVID very seriously with limited guests, hand sanitizer and temperature check before we got it. It really helped make the appointment safe and comfortable. Can't recommend enough!

safe environment for everyone. It was clean and welcoming. The whole store was reserved for me and my family members during our appointment, which was wonderful. I had somewhat of an idea what I was looking for going into my appointment, but I was willing to try anything just in case I changed my mind! At my first appointment, I thought I had found a perfect dress but decided I needed to sleep on it and try again at another appointment. Jon literally got me and my family members in the next day, and I found my perfect dress at that second appointment. Jon was so gracious and understanding and took the time to make sure I was a happy bride. I am so thrilled to be a Renaissance bride and could not recommend their store more!

lves for an hour and half to help with health safety due to COVID. This worked out perfect because we were able to work one-on-one and try on a variety of dresses . Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

ould look totally different that we could ever imagine… Much like so many big events this year that everyone has postponed from weddings, big vacations and holiday celebrations. We were looking forward to having our friends and family around us during the entire planning process. Renaissance Bridal and Prom made my dress shopping experience so special by making us feel safe and locking out all of the problems of the world (even just for 2 hours). Upon entering the store we had our temperatures taken and were provided handsanatizer to ensure that the store remains a clean area. Jon (one of the store’s owners) helped me feel like the beautiful bride, finding the styles of dress that fit my body and wants best. Additionally, he made me, my mother and grandmother feel right at home in our one-on-one appointment. My dress shopping experience was better than I could even ask for even without being in an international pandemic. Since my family and I were the only clients in the building were the primary focus having the opportunity to try any dress that we wanted and having Jon’s undivided attention. I will always recommend Renaissance Bridal and Prom!

ct, but he challenged it by pulling more dresses to see how I responded to different but similar options. He truly has a gift for matching the bride with the perfect dress. They have a huge inventory with so many amazing styles and options. He also made me feel safe by giving us hand sanitizer, doing temperature checks, and wearing a mask the whole time. At the time, I was the only bride in the shop and it was so nice having the personal touch of just me, my mom, and Jon at the appointment. It made the experience much more relaxed, very low pressure, and so much fun!

d THE gown. I bought it right off the rack that day and am so excited to take it home!

en had a bridal curvy room that afforded additional privacy and more options for brides size 14-22. Our bridal associate was thoughtful about pulling selections based on designs I showed her. The salon provided us with celebratory mimosas for our shopping experience. The only limitation with this bridal salon is that they do not have an in-house seamstress, so I had to store my own dress until the wedding and identify a seamstress for alterations. I just wish they had told me about the seamstress situation before I bought my dress. Otherwise timely and kind service. Dress arrived safely, in perfect condition and plenty of time before the wedding.

- each appointment I learned gets their own floor. Jon was great with picking out dresses that really suit my body type and style and he managed to find me my wedding dress in one appointment! Being a little “plus” sized, I was concerned with doing a lot of imagining with the sample sizes, but they had sample sizes that fit me, so I was happy. Going back for the measurement and ordering for the dress was a smooth process and I couldn’t be happier with Jon and Renaissance Bridals.

l different materials and ends to match my thoughts! Ladies if you are looking to wedding shop during this crazy time of COVID-19...know you can trust Renaissance Bridal! My two guests and myself were met at the door, temperature checked, and sanitized. Do not be discouraged by the idea of having to wear a mask either! When you find the dress you will beam even with it on. I am so grateful for this amazing experience despite everything going on. Thank you Jon and Renaissance Bridal for everything. 💘

dress. I HIGHLY recommend this bridal shop for any bride looking for knowledgeable and extremely helpful staff all around. I never felt like he was pushing me to buy a dress or to spend a lot of money. He gave me his honest opinions and made sure to clue me in on what my reactions were to certain dresses. I cannot thank John enough for all of his help!!

more thankful! His artistic vision and ability to piece together what I was wanting, even aspects of a wedding dress I didn't know I wanted until I tried it on, were impeccable! I felt so comfortable at this dress shop, I felt heard, no pressure, and felt that Jon had just as much excitement as my family and I. I am so excited to wear my dress and can't stop looking at pictures. Overall such a great experience!

nce so amazing and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding dress! My mother also got her mother of the bride dress and she loves it! Highly recommend Renaissance Bridals!❤️

went. Upon entering, we were greeted almost immediately by Julie. She took us into a private room, asked each person who they were, and brought out mimosas. Then we went into dress details. She listened to everything I wanted and took my suggestions. She pulled dresses that matched my wish list, but also pulled some that she thought would be flattering. I was amazed at the difference in quality between the dresses at Renaissance and the chain store. The beading and lace was unmatched. Julie was energetic and made everyone feel at ease. I didn't feel as though I was a hassle every time I said "no" to a dress. She worked just as hard from the first dress to the one that I said "YES" to! So yes, you pay a little more, but in my opinion it is COMPLETELY worth it for the quality of the dress and the individualized attention you get at Renaissance.

arted looking for a dress!

whose business has been interrupted by quarantine.

ice was beyond. They were very attentive to my style and the dress I chose I would have never even known I liked. My stylist was beyond professional and knew exactly how to fit my dress needs.

ts about what I wanted this specific appointment to be focused on, asked me about budget BEFORE I tried anything on, was supportive of my everything gut instinct about a dress, and was extremely courteous and efficient in the dressing room. Mindi was focused on me, instead of worried with my entourages opinions, and was encouraging through my every indecisive moment. She brought only three dresses at a time, as to not confuse or overwhelm me with option. She never brought me a dress out of my budget, or tried to persuade my decisions towards one dress or another. I came into the salon not knowing what kind of dress was "my" dress, but I left feeling the most "me" in a dress I have ever felt! She celebrated with me after I said "yes" and I left with a huge weight off my shoulders. The co-owner, Jon was personable from the moment I walked in the door and also very excited for my commitment. Overall, Renaissance is very professionally run, the salon is gorgeously laid out out and looks high-end (without the prices of one), and my service experience was a successful one!

dresses were reasonably priced as well. I would definitely recommend future brides to look here for their dress!

the happiness of my crew. They asked for pinterest ideas and budget and found so many dress for me to try on. I probably tried on 10+ dresses and never once did they rush me or try to push me into buying a dress. I found the one and I couldnt have been happier!

ead, my stylist talked with me about what I liked and disliked about dresses I’d seen and tried on so far, any particular concerns I had about my dress, and looked at pictures of what I’d been thinking about. Then the STYLIST went into the rooms with racks of dresses, and based on our conversation, brought back five or six dresses for me to try on. And that’s how the whole appointment went. I’d try on a dress, we’d decide keep or swap, and then after I went through about 15 dresses and I felt ready to make a choice, we tried on all of the “keeps” again and narrowed it down. This style kept me from becoming completely overwhelmed, and I think I probably tried on several dresses I would never have found on my own. I am 100% sure I wouldn’t have found MY dress, because it had only just been delivered and because of the work we’d done, my stylist knew to get it out and try it on. I love Renaissance and my only regret is that I can’t get a new wedding dress from them every year!

was excellent. She asked me what I liked and didn't like, and she went and pulled quite a few dresses for me to try on (I didn't go shopping on my own). Then she helped me get in them. She was not pushy, and it didn't seem like there was a time limit on my appointment. Julia didn't ask for my budget, so be sure to make that clear to your consultant there. The dresses are expensive, but I think you're getting high quality. I imagine my experience at Renaissance was like the Kleinfeld experience on TV!

or. When I described what I wanted, the first dress the consultant pulled ended up being the one I chose. Although I came back another day to ultimately purchase the dress, they were there through every step of my indecisiveness. I am so glad Renaissance is where I went to look for my dress!

he area, I finally decided on a dress. I was measured and we began the purchasing process. I trusted that they recommended the correct size for me and ordered everything based on their specifications. When the dress arrived 4 months later, it was SO TIGHT I could barely put it on. I had not gained any weight. They insisted that the correct size had been ordered and that my measurements were still the same as the day I ordered it. Thankfully they led me to the most amazing seamstress (not affiliated with the shop) who completely remade the bottom of my dress so that it would fit my hips the way it was supposed to. **The moral of the story is... order a size bigger than they tell you! It's way easier to make a dress smaller than it is to let part of a dress out** Fast forward another month to when I was shopping for accessories. I went back to Renaissance and tried on veils and jewelry and headpieces. The consultant kept telling me that it was going to be "nearly impossible" to get the accessories ordered and delivered before my wedding (which was still 2.5 months away). They tried to sell me the floor sample of the veil I loved with a HOLE in it for full price. I found out the manufacturer and product number, went to another bridal salon, ordered it that same day, and received it only 3 weeks later with plenty of time before my wedding. This place has a great selection of gowns and accessories, but they don't always give you the whole truth about what your purchasing and the process.

ng to find a dress. I am having a destination wedding and thought, I just want something lightweight and simple so why not try online retailers or even prom dresses. Total fail each time the dresses would arrive at my door. From beginning to end this was by far the best experience I had. I worked with Julia and she really listened to what I was looking for and dialed into those details to help me find the absolute perfect dress. I would 100% recommend Renaissance Bridal to anyone looking for a dress! You will feel and look like a princess!

me pick the one for me. She was great with my family and the whole process. For anyone who's looking for that flashy show stopping gown, this is the place. Their dresses are full of drama and glitz, I was in love with almost every gown I tried on. Their dresses were very affordable and they were very accommodating. There was a great selection in any price range.

ated me. Everyone is very nice to work with there and they go the extra mile. Thank you for the amazing experience!

ide to my experience was that they emailed me when my dress arrived but had my email address incorrect. When I called them they said my dress had been in for 3 months, but no one called me to question why I hadn't picked it up. They said they usually only hold dresses for 30 days, luckily it was still there. So I would call them every month if you do not hear from them.

ing room with seats for your guests, an area to try on dresses, and a large all around mirror! She sat with us and got a feel for what I wanted in my dress. She offered us mimosas or water while she was pulling a few dresses to get us started. Now it was time to get going and try on the gowns!! I put the first one on and walked out to see my family's reactions and finally saw it for myself. WOW, it was stunning! Abbie went to get a belt to add and John brought in a veil for me, so I could get the total look. WOW again!! We all were in love, but it was the first one I put on, but definitely a front runner! After trying on a few, nothing was comparing to that first dress! Once we tried on the other gowns I put the first dress back on and I knew that was MY dress!! The whole look was so prefect and I was doing the "bridal wiggle" as Abbie called it! I just want to thank Abbie & John for making this experience so memorable and allowing me to find the dress of my dreams!

for Julia!

t dress (which I promise you will find here as they have a huge collection), but that memorable and sentimental experience, this is the bridal shop for you! I went to three other shops before going to Renaissance, and not one of them had what I was looking for. Don't get me wrong, I tried on a lot of beautiful dresses along the way, but I felt like each shop either did not understand what I was looking for, or did not have the types of dresses I was seeking. Needless to say, I was discouraged and losing hope. I had quite the opposite experience at Renaissance. I sent over a couple of pictures and descriptions of what I liked before my scheduled appointment, and the only place to look at them before my arrival was Renaissance. In fact, Julia already had a bunch of dresses pulled based on what I sent to her, so she did not waste time! I felt like a VIP! Upon our arrival, they offered us mimosas, and created a very relaxing yet exciting environment to try on the dresses. Julia was amazing! It is so obvious she really has a passion for what she does… and is great at it! Within the first 3 dresses, I had 3 dresses I could have walked out with and been happy! She took her time and put me in each of those 3 dresses multiple times! I never felt rushed or pressured! She truly cared more about you feeling amazing in what you were wearing on the big day and less about making a sale. It was clear they wanted me to know that it was the perfect dress for me! Not to mention they stayed well within my budget. I said “yes” to the dress, and am so blessed to have done so at such a great place with such great people! I would recommend to any bride, bridesmaid or mother!

try on. She was very helpful in asking me questions to help me narrow down which dresses I loved the most! Once we narrowed down the dresses to my favorites, we tried them on again and I instantly knew what dress was mine. I can’t thank Abbie enough for helping me find the most perfect gown for my wedding day! I highly recommend Renaissance to any bride who wants high quality service while looking for their perfect dress!

nny! She helped me find the perfect gown and I couldn't be happier.

g but I loved the vibe). I had an appointment I had made the the day prior with Julia. She offered us mimosas or coffee and brought us back to a dressing suite that had world’s best lighting. Julia was wonderful at gathering what I was looking for even though I felt like I had no idea. She was so patient and non judgmental. I tried on a bunch of dresses from their wonderful selection. I loved most of Julia’s picks and was so happy to have her because at the other salon I was on my own to pick off the rack myself (yikes). I never felt rushed or pressured and I literally had trouble deciding between two dresses that were beautiful at the end. I said yes to the dress and I am so happy with my choice! Thanks Renaissance and Julia for making this so easy! Will definitely recommend to other brides.

Dress! John gave his opinions, which I am grateful for, and I executed and our renewal day was was MAGICAL. Thank you John for an amazing experience which I will never forget! Jackie D

-10 different gowns. I know it is a-lot, but I was there about 2.5 hours trying on gowns, and Katie was so kind throughout the entire process, not rushing me, going to find new styles I wanted to try, all while not going over my budget. In the end, I found my perfect gown, UNDER BUDGET, all thanks to Renaissance! I would definitely recommend to anybody who wants a very personal experience trying on gowns, with no pressure or rush!

e me feel relaxed. All of the other staff were very nice and the selection of dresses they had were on point! I would recommend going there to anyone! So happy I said yes to my dress there, Keep in mind I went to NYC to Kleinfields, Rk Bridal and a smaller Boutique store at my hometown. Another plus about the bridal experience at Renaissance you can get a private room and mimosas while you try on dresses what can get better than that? My Dress came in a couple weeks after ordering, cant wait to come try it on again! THANKS RENAISSANCE BRIDAL! XO

were taken up to a private room. I tried on a few dresses and found one that I fell in love with! My stylist took great care of me and answered any of my questions. I would highly recommend, they make you feel like a queen!!

t I ended up trying it on last and it was the one I ended up choosing! 10 out of 5 stars!

their sizes so the dresses could be ordered in the same dye lot. They were easy to work with and the staff are very friendly.

uick to tell me they have BEAUTIFUL gowns for the event and to come on in - no appointment needed (only for brides). I walk in and right away I knew this was going to be fun. The place, alone, is stunning. I met one of the owners and got a personal stylist right away. They took me downstairs where I was in "gown Heaven"! I was overwhelmed and lost all train of thought of what I wanted. My stylist, Rachelle, was amazing. She took me under her wing and picked out beautiful gowns to try and finally found the ONE! They paired it with the perfect earrings and I was sold. When they say "it's all about the experience of finding (any type) a dress"; you will get it there. My stylist and owners were so helpful and kind. Definitely coming back here for any dress I need in the future.

n to THE DRESS. Looking back it was simple! It was a wonderful experience.

professional,we were greeted with mimosas and ended the appointment with a champagne toast after I said yes to my dress! Renaissance helped make this day a really joyous memory for me and all my family that came along.
