Renaissance Bridals

tly sad and not optimistic as I believed the dress of my dreams didn't exist. Jon asked questions about what I liked, what made me feel confident, details that were important to me in order to really find THE dress! The first dress I tried on I loved. After trying on a ton more, I realized that the first dress he hand picked for me was everything I wanted and more. His establishment is professional, gorgeous, and full of talented and knowledgable people. I can't say enough nice things about Jon and the bridal salon. I am self-conscious, very picky, and some how found the dress of my dreams that makes me feel absolutely stunning! I would highly recommend going. You won't regret it!

did and didn’t like. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

at I came in thinking I’d like to see myself in as well as some options I would have never picked myself. Had he not done this I probably would have never found my dress! The sample fit perfectly so he was kind enough to let me leave with the sample, which was so helpful considering I’m on a shorter time line. If you’re looking for a dress go to Renaissance, you won’t regret it!

k my mom and future mother-in-law and we talked with John about styles and my wedding vision. He started with the type of dress I was sure I’d want and I loved it. The second dress was something I wouldn’t have picked for myself, but as soon as I tried it on, I was in love. John had me try a few others afterwards, but even though they were all beautiful, they just cemented my decision on the second dress I had tried on. I put that back on and John styled it with headpieces and veils and let me take my time admiring it. I actually got to walk out of the store with the dress, as I bought the sample (which is discounted by the way!) I also bought the headpiece he had me try on because I fell so in love with it! Throughout the entire process, I felt like the center of attention and did not once feel rushed or forgotten. The changes since Covid are actually super nice, as you’re the only one there so all attention and effort is on you and finding your perfect dress. I wanted to take my entire bridal party, but the limit of only 2 people (plus myself) made it super nice and intimate. John was great at making you feel amazing and was not pushy about buying anything. The entire atmosphere was so comfortable and such a great experience to enjoy with my mom and MIL. I’m so happy I decided to find my dress at Renaissance and would recommend them to anyone! They were super flexible with scheduling my appointment and rescheduling when something came up. I have only good things to say about Renaissance Bridal and John!

ude. We had a private room with no one but my party! Truly this was a magical dress buying process, no pressure and I would recommend it to anyone looking for their perfect dress!

yes to my dress at Renaissance and highly recommend their services.

r. They truly care about their clients and make sure you are well taken care of. I went to 5 other bridal boutiques in the York/Lancaster area and Renaissance was by far the best! Look no further, I promise you won’t be disappointed! Here’s to saying YES to the dress 🥂

ns on. John listened to what I had in mind for my dress but also gave me a variety of styles to try that flattered me; he wasn't pushy or demanding, but gave his professional opinion and genuinely wanted me to feel and look beautiful. I found my dream dress in less than an hour!!! I would highly recommend that anyone go to Renaissance to find their wedding gown, you will have an unforgettable experience!

worked with Jon, and he was very helpful in finding what I wanted and narrowing down from my top choices. The dress I chose ended up being a sample that I could take home the same day! I'm so glad I went to Renaissance!

ith Jon. he was great and very honest with his opinions. he helped me navigate through my indecisiveness until I found the perfect one.

a time and they pay attention to every detail you want out of a dress. I have been referring Renaissance for years and will continue to do so!

elped find the perfect veil and accessories to complete the look. He was never pushy and never made me feel rushed. It was a great experience overall! I highly recommend!

hat I liked and didn’t like about each dress.. UNTIL he put all my likes together and found me THE DRESS. I recommend going to Renaissance!

ely amazing. We were the only ones in the shop making it such a unique, special experience with my mother and future mother in law. Jon first pulled dresses that I thought I wanted and then pulled other dresses based on my reactions and feedback. He helped me find and customize my dream dress. After I found it, we still went to the other shops, but went back to Renaissance that next day and got my dream dress. I am very picky, but found my dress on the first day. I highly recommend Renaissance!

ely and John gave me his full attention as their policy is to only have one bride at a time. Never thought I could find a dress so easily but the gown is beautiful, elegant and timeless. Highly recommend if you are looking for a beautiful one-of-a-kind dress that won't break the budget either!

-oriented, and an incredible listener. Amidst a selection of carefully curated dresses (which he hand-selected from the latest runway shows himself), he found me the most gorgeous Lazaro dress. The beautiful ethereal beading was unique, and unlike anything I had every tried on before. Did I mention that it was only the fifth dress I had ever tried on? Overall, I must say that the level of expertise, attentiveness, and care that from everyone working there made me feel so comfortable. It was clearly evident across all areas of their bridal boutique that every bride's experience was superb. Moreover, it was the easiest, most comfortable, and productive dress shopping experience of my life! If you want a wedding dress experience that will exceed your expectations, please schedule an appointment at this incredible bridal boutique.

ous and his boutique is equally as beautiful. He had me branch out and try on different styles and he found the perfect dress for me! He made the experience comfortable, relaxing, fun, and amazing! Exceeded my dreams of shopping for my wedding dress! Shop for your dress with John, you won’t be disappointed!!

t like about each dress until I found the one!

loved right from the beginning and worked with me to find my dress! After suggesting to try a different style he picked the perfect dress and we all fell in love. Amazing experience, felt very private and specialized to the bride! Would 10/10 recommend!

told I'm only allowed two guests and got some attitude. My mother called after to see if we could work something out, and Beth yelled at her, "excuse me, we are in a pandemic!!". I understand rules to keep people safe, but I have not talked to another bridal shop with this low of a guest count. I will be taking my business and four guests elsewhere. I will never recommend this place again after how my mother and I were treated over the phone by Beth! Brides already have to deal with enough stress, and these tears were not necessary. Beth is also one of the owners, so don't go here if you want to be treated poorly!!!

k you so much!

. Other stores I’ve gone to just pick 5-6 dresses and make it seem like that’s all there is for you to choose from. John had a system, made sure we understood how the appointment was going to be run and he made it fun! I also loved that he put me in dresses I never thought to try, even if I knew I didn’t like them, just to make sure we covered all the bases. I highly recommend Renaissance Bridal.

uttons on the back of the dress and Beth helped me get the buttons from the designers and make sure everything worked out okay with that. Highly recommend!

restrictions John (the owner) is running private appointments only in his beautiful, historic shop, with a limit of 2 guests. I was hesitant at first, but these restrictions were a blessing in disguise. The shop was quiet, cool and calm with only me, my mother and sister and John there. There were not distractions. John was amazing - he listened to what I wanted, then told me how he'd run the appointment. The 90 minutes flew by and he clearly has a well trained eye because I ended up purchasing the first dress he put me in! The appointment was fun, the shop had great ambiance, and John was kind, professional, honest and funny! He helped me confirm what I did not want in a dress and that helped me know that what I chose was the right one. I cannot wait to put my dress on again and I will recommend Renaissance Bridal to anyone in the area looking to buy a wedding (or prom!) dress.

am so happy to have said YES at Renaissance Bridals!

d close attention to everything I liked and didn't like. He also could just tell from how you act if you like it or not. I wouldn't have wanted to go to any other place. He even gave great recommendations as to where we could go for brunch in the area which by the way.. was AMAZING as well. Definitely make an appointment here because you won't be disappointed!

my interests were, and I felt like he actually cared! He has SO much experience literally every dress he brought out was gorgeous and exactly what I had described. And when he brought out the one, he looked at me and said this is going to be your wedding dress, and he did not disappoint. I’m so glad I went here, it was the best experience and I said yes to the most beautiful dress!

what he was talking about and looking out for my best interest. It can be overwhelming but we had a great time at our appointment and every dress he brought out was just as lovely as the last. I felt no pressure and was able to sleep on it and text him two days later to commit to my perfect dress. I'd definitely recommend Renaissance to any bride. Thanks!!

He really took the time listen to what I wanted and went out of his to make it all possible. 100% recommend. I said yes!

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!
