I'm not the typical bride, know exactly what dress I want walking in, etc. Immediately while in Rena, I felt like family and I wasn't wasting anyone's time trying on dresses to make sure I found exactly what I wanted. Also, the woman who helped me would go out of her way to find similar dresses in the style I liked. Not only did I find my dream dress here, it was also BEYOND affordable. Thank you!

Rena Elle Couture has extremely beautiful dresses. They work with every budget. And they’re really patient. My dress made me feel like the Belle of the Ball. If you’re looking for an original dress that was made especially for you, this is the place.

The team at Rena Elle Couture is unmatched in their bridal fashion expertise. They came highly recommended by multiple friends and from the moment we entered the boutique we felt welcomed and celebrated. The wide selection of gowns made it easy to find exactly what I was looking for. Arlene and her team were so encouraging while trying on gowns and were flexible and accommodating through every step of our wedding planning journey. Their seamstress, Maria, worked with me to fit my dress perfectly, making me feel so beautiful and confident in my gown. Overall, Rena Elle Couture provided us with the most amazing experience and was the greatest pleasure to work with.

The Staff is so helpful and the selection of dresses are so chic!!!! Had the best time at Rena Elle. The process was so easy and the seamstress Mariana made my dress so comfortable to wear! Thank you ladies!!!!

Here you can pick out dresses to try on from their racks which I preferred. They were helpful to point out styles you might like as well. The first dress I picked turned out to be my dress but there were many other contenders. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had their undivided attention. I fell in love with a Stella York design. I also found my hair piece here.

I am writing this review almost 2 years after I got my dress and alterations done at Rena Elle (Oct 2015 wedding); however, it is long overdue and my sister getting married last month reminded me that a review is well worth it. First, I will say my review is a true reflection of two people at the dress salon - the salesperson, Christina and seamstress, Marianna that did my alterations. I was not an easy client, I found a Stella York dress that I absolutely loved, but I wanted custom lace added to the bottom. When I called I wanted only to speak with Christina, because she clearly knows her business and always had the information I needed. Next, my custom dress would not have been possible without the extreme talents and miracle work of Marianna. Like your typical bride, I wanted to loose some weight before my wedding, and Marianna worked with me by allowing me the time I needed to drop a few pounds but she also ensured she got my dress done beautifully and on time. Marianna hand sewed the additional appliques that Christina helped me order to the bottom of my dress. Marianna created a custom work of art for me. Thus when my sister started planning her wedding last year, I insisted that she see Christina and also get a guarantee that the alterations would only be done by Marianna. Marianna is obvious the treasure of that store. And I am so grateful for her time and attention to not only my beautiful dress but my little sister's as well. I would recommend that anyone looking for a custom wedding dress to see Christina and make sure it is Marianna that is doing your alterations.

After attending a bridal show at the Merion, I just had to visit this store. All of the gowns and dresses in the show were beautiful. I went to this store and I found the perfect gown. On this day I met Diane, she is patient and kind. We had a great time as I tried on wedding gowns. As time passed I met all of the woman in this location. Everyone there was nice to me and my flower girl. Christina, thanks for everything. I will be calling from time to time, just to say hello to all of you. I would surely recommend this store to anyone shopping for bridal attire. Missing you all already. If I ever have another formal affair, I will come back. ??

I have to say, I had a really good experience with Rena Elle Couture. I am a bigger girl and was please to find sample sizes I could try on that weren’t Plus Size models, which are too big for me up top. When I ordered my dress, I paid in full and by doing so, got 20% off a beaded belt that I ordered. Surprisingly, the dress arrived from the manufacturer in record time (less than 8 weeks) and they held the dress for me until I was ready to come in for my first fitting (4 months later). I was crazy and ordered my dress a size smaller than I should have, thinking I’d lose enough weight to fit in it. Dumb move! The bottom fit perfectly, but there was no way the top was going to close, even with me losing some more weight. Their seamstress, Marianna, was amazing and immediately came up with a plan to fix the situation. She removed the zipper and transformed the dress into a corset back. It looked beautiful! Marianna was working on my dress up until I picked it up 2 days before the wedding. It seems to be her M.O., which is probably a good thing since I saw several brides in the shop who kept losing weight between fittings so Marianna had to keep taking the dresses in. One other thing, when the belt I ordered along w/ the dress finally came in from the manufacturer (a week before the wedding), it was the wrong belt (we checked the order and the manufacturer screwed up). The manager, Christina, was really great and was willing to substitute a different belt or refund the money for the belt. It turns out the dress looked better w/o the belt anyway so she refunded the money. I really appreciate that they did that.

I was a very Happy and beautiful Bride on my wedding day, thanks to the services of Rena Couture. I dealt with Christina through the entire purchasing, altering and delivery of my wedding dress.

She was a pleasure to work with. Pleasant, calm responsive and just overall very nice, even when I ordered my dress late and needed extra alterations she assured me that it would be ready for my wedding and it was. Marianna, now what can I say about my darling seamstress. Thank you Marianna, thank you. My dress fit perfectly and I received nothing but compliments. The corset in the back was on point.

Christina and Marianna made the wedding dress part of planning my wedding very easy and stress free. Thank you Ladies may God continue to Bless you both abundantly. The newly minted Mrs. Redd :)

I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MARIANNA'S WORK. SHE IS AN OUTSTANDING SEAMSTRESS. CHRISTINA AND RAJJI WERE AMAZING, VERY PLEASANT. I AM A FORMER CUSTOMER AND CAME BACK FOR MARIANNA'S EXCELLENT WORK.
