Reviewed On 11/07/2017 by Katie M
I had an incredible experience here. I was dreading shopping for my wedding dress- I didn't really know what to expect, was worried how everything would look on me, and didn't have a great idea of what I wanted (but I knew what I didn't want!)...
. Luckily, at the insistence of my mom, I decided to start my dress search at Renaissance. I did not have an appointment, but decided to stop in on a Friday afternoon around 2 "just to browse." Right away I was greeted and asked if I wanted water, coffee, tea, champagne, and was taken back to their bridal area by Julia, who asked questions to get an idea of my venue, style, and likes/dislikes. She then put me in a dressing room and brought me a variety of different gowns- some similar to what I described, some different, so we could get a feel for what I liked and what suited me best. She helped me get into and out of the dresses and clipped me in. I wasn't even feeling well that day, and she still eased all of my fears and made me feel so special. I really can't give enough praise for how amazing she is! After trying on about 5 or 6 dresses (which seemed like a lot to me) she pulled a dress that I likely wouldn't have picked for myself and it was perfect! I loved the quality of the gown, the subtle detail, and most importantly, how I felt. I should have just bought the dress right away, but decided to go to a few other stores in PA just to make sure I knew what else was out there, and each experience was worse than the previous. I went back to Renaissance and worked with Katie and Beth to try my dress on and it was like magic. Katie helped me find the perfect veil and a STUNNING comb, brought out champagne for my mom and I to toast, AND we picked bridesmaid dresses and looked through mother of the bride dresses all in about an hours time. Even after I left, I had a few questions about the process and Beth was so sweet and helpful on the phone. I can't wait for our next appointment to see my bridesmaids pick their dresses, and am SO excited to try my gown on when it comes in. To summarize: I would recommend Renaissance Bridals to any bride!!!!

First off, Jon is the best. And I mean that in the most sincere way. As soon as I walked in the door, I immediately felt like he really wanted to make my appointment THE MOST personal, joyful and beautiful experience. But with being in such a...
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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

What a beautiful salon with wonderful staff! I had been to 3 other places looking for my wedding dress and didn't fall in love with anything. I fell in love with a dress at Renaissance though and bought it! I had Julia as a consultant, and she ...
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!

I have mixed feelings about Renaissance Bridals. The actual dress shopping process was amazing. We were treated so well with a private room, mimosas, and a knowledgable consultant. After trying on 30+ dresses here and at other bridal shops in t...
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.

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!

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!

She chose 4 dresses for me to start with to get an idea of what I liked for my body type and then continued to ask questions to figure out exactly what it was that I was looking for. I loved something about every dress I tried on but still wasn’t sure I found “the one:” 10+ dresses and 2+ hours later, as if she saved the best for last, Abbie was excited to have me try on what turned out to be the dress of my dreams. While I collected myself after many happy tears of joy and excitement, I remained in the dress while she pointed out every detail this dress had and compared it to my wants that we had discussed throughout the afternoon. Almost immediately after putting it on, I knew it was the one, but every statement Abbie made really confirmed that it was everything I had dreamed of. To top it all off, she paired it with the most beautiful veil and accessory. I have no words to describe how I felt in that moment when I realized I found the one.

as scheduled for 6:30pm and we were just left standing in the main room until 7pm without even someone to greet us or offer us a seat. It wasn't until I made the comment for us to leave that someone seemed to notice that we were there (although they were working around us the entire time). The store closed at 8pm and it seemed it was more a priority to close rather than help us. We left unimpressed but unfortunately I found a dress that I liked so I was hoping to have a better experience if we came back. (If you have been there before you know they have standards of no photos and no information about the dresses so that you are forced to order through them as opposed to another store) Our second appointment, we were pushed to the prom side because there was a giant bridal party occupying the entire bridal side (much like the 1st time). I had to argue with our girl to move somewhere else so that my MOH, mother and 7 month old son could sit during my appointment as opposed to standing the entire time. I tried on the dress and decided that I wanted it and then the girl started the paper work. After I changed I noticed that the other bridal party was celebrating with pictures and complimentary champagne. We were never offered anything. After we confronted them about that, they apologized and said I could put my dress back on for pictures and a toast. I explained that I was just ready to leave at that point because I was just tired of being treated badly. I was upset and extremely disappointed in them. It doesn't matter if you spend $5 or $5000 at a bridal salon, you need to work on your customer service and treat every bride as a priority. It shouldn't matter the size of the entourage that accompanies the bride either. If there is a person who makes a BRIDAL appointment for a certain time you should respect the schedule and at least try and make room for them rather than shoving them off into a back room. Girls come to the store to purchase dresses for the biggest day of their lives. You should treat every bride their as a priority! PLEASE take that into consideration. I hope that by the time I go to pick up my dress that the mindset is adjusted and that everyone is considered an important customer. Although I heard through another consultation that bridesmaids receive 10% off there dresses, you don't have to worry about helping us anymore (or even letting me know about the discount in that case) because I will not let my friends be treated the way I was.

I got no where with the owner who was just flat out mean and rude. So they received $200 of my working dollars and gave me nothing in return! $200 that I really didn’t have just to give a way. Must be nice to pocket money you didn’t earn. Luckily I found the bridesmaid dress somewhere else ( not that I can buy it right now anyway) so I didn’t have to give them anymore of my money.

My crew and I were blown away by the service and selection found at Renaissance Bridal on my first day of shopping for my wedding dress. The store is beautiful and we were greeted by staff who brought us mimosas and coffee. They allowed us to s...
pend some time picking out dresses to try on and then my consultant Abby met with me to get a sense of my style and wedding details. Even though she knew it was my first shopping trip, she remained engaged in the appointment and made me feel super comfortable with an otherwise stressful and potentially overwhelming situation. She was helpful with getting me in and out of dresses when needed and also pulled a few dresses after feedback was given on the first ones. My group had a fun and relaxing time in the seating area while waiting for me to show the dresses. After the very first dress, we all weren’t sure it would be possible to top it, but an even better dress was found right after! We continued trying on dress after beautiful dress but kept going back to the exquisite crowd favorite. It was even well within my price range! I think my appointment went a bit over the typical time, so Julia stepped in to help when Abby got pulled into an appointment that was scheduled after mine. However, I didn’t feel rushed or pushed aside for the other bride and Julia was just as great of a consultant! She even spoke very highly of the store owners which makes you feel good shopping there. I left the store feeling great, especially because an earlier appointment in the day at a different store didn’t go very well. It was my first day of looking, but I have a feeling I’ll be back at Renaissance to get that dress because I can’t get it out of my head!

I have been going to Renaissance Bridals for years. Both my sister and I got all of our prom dresses here, and then we both went back for our wedding gowns! Julia was amazing and really listened to what I was describing that I was looking for. ...
She also had a great sense of humor, which you need with my family :) Her and the rest of the staff were amazing! It never hurts to be greeted with mimosas and then celebrating with champagne either! Always gave a great selection and friendly staff. My mom also got her mother of the bride dresses here for both my sister and I's weddings. Overall great experience, friendly staff, and just so much fun!

me alive in a way I never dreamed of. I wanted a tea-length dress. The store didn't have many options, but Julia pinned each dress up to give me an idea of how the dress would look at the length I'm interested in. Julia was able to pick out the right dresses and pieces. Not only was Julia able to bring together a vision, and help my get the look of my dreams, she was fun. I loved chatting wither, my family enjoyed her company. We all loved our time at Renaissance and with Julia. I could not be more excited for my dress to come in. I highly recommend this bridal shop!

Renaissance Bridal was my 4th shop I had visited and within 20 minutes I found MY dress. The staff was wonderful! I am over the moon with my decision! Glad I decided to venture from Corning, NY.

Renaissance Bridal is a wonderful store! I bought my wedding dress here for my wedding back in May. The funny thing is, I didn't go to the store with the intention to buy my dress there! My mother was looking for her dress and we decided to che...
ck out Renaissance Bridal, that was the first time we went. There, our consultant was Abby, we looked at dresses for my mother but unfortunately did not find one. Abby suggested we look at wedding dresses for fun and low and behold we found my dress! It was so much fun! I didn't expect to find my dress so we looked at some dresses I probably wouldn't have tried on just for the fun of it and it worked out! I can't thank Abby enough for convincing me to try dresses on! Because my experience with my bridal dress was so great we decided to go back a second, third and fourth time to look for Mother of the Bride/ Groom dresses and Accessories! I would recommend going to any of their events, they have such a large section you are certain to find what you are looking for! It took my mother more stores and dresses to find her dress than it did mine! We looked at Renaissance I think 3 times for her and luckily the last time we found it! I had the best experiences there and would recommend this store to anyone and everyone!

This bridal shop has an excellent selection! After going to a smaller boutique, I was grateful to walk into a shop with plenty of options. My consultant was fantastic and attentive, not to mention extremely patient when I came down to the final...
two choices. However, when it came time to order our bridesmaids dresses, we were somewhat misguided regarding the sizing of the dresses. We ordered sizes based off the shop's recommendations, and 2 of my 3 bridesmaids had dresses arrive that were too small. When I questioned the shop and even brought a bridesmaid in wearing the dress to show them, the shop felt the dress fit "exactly" as it should, even though my bridesmaid was visibly uncomfortable in a dress that was too tight. Luckily we found a good seamstress to take care of the fit issue. So in essence, great dresses and selection, but be super careful of their sizing recommendations!

HORRIBLE! If I could have bought my dress else where I would have loved to. The owner helped me and acted like she had much better things to do then help me. She did not listen at all to what I was asking for. She just wanted to make a sale. S...
adly I feel in love with a dress there and spent hours trying to find it else where but they don't let you take pictures or tell you anything about the dress. My second time back I had the sweetest girl but no big deal was made about me picking my dress. When we went back to pick it up they just wanted to continue to sell things. I bought my veil here and when my mom picked it up and signed for it they told her it was her problem now. I never felt like a bride here. Please do not go here for your first shop. You do not at all get the bridal experience. Yes, they had nice dresses but the service by the owner was awful. My sister who came late for the first appointment was asking me to complain because it was so awful but who do you complain to when it is the owner who is the issue.
