Wonderful Wedding Gown Shopping Experience!

Thank you, Jon, for a truly wonderful and memorable bridal gown shopping experience! Jon welcomed my mother, grandmother, and me into the beautiful store and immediately made me feel comfortable about the plan for our shopping experience. He listened intently and asked questions about the wedding venue, color story, and my vision for the gown. He has a wealth of experience and an artist’s eye, and he immediately pulled stunning gowns that fit my style, my body proportions, and our budget. I felt so beautiful trying on different gowns, and he helped me express my likes and dislikes and identify different elements of the dresses. He is so knowledgeable about fabrics, cuts, stitching, and colors! After lots of individual attention, I said “yes” to my dress, and I feel so wonderful about my choice and this experience. I would highly recommend Renaissance to anyone looking to find their special gown; Jon’s experience and kind attention, combined with their impressive inventory, made for a fabulous experience!

Personalized Experience

I could not have asked for a better experience. Jon was welcoming and truly wanted to make my bridal dress search personalized and special. The store itself is unique and elegant and the dress selection was fabulous. I appreciated having an intimate appointment with just my family in the bridal salon. Jon took interest in getting to know me and my family and really listened to what I was looking for. He gave great feedback and had a great understanding of fashion and what worked for my body. I found my dress and I absolutely love it! I would highly recommend!

Words cannot express

Words cannot even express my experience at this place! Jon was AMAZING! I went in, and he started the consult with a conversation about me. What I like as wedding options etc. then he brought this dress out that looked like it was MADE for me! I was so impressed with his professionalism and personalism. I ended up getting the second dress he picked out. Just speechless on the experience. Highly recommend to any bride that does not like to go shopping or is nervous or dreading the dress shopping experience.

A wonderful experience!

I had an amazing experience at Renaissance Bridals when shopping for my wedding dress. Jon spent the time with me prior to putting me in dresses, and was able to get *my* dress on the very first one. He then took the time to put me in other dresses to determine what I liked and didn't like to ensure that I felt confident that I knew which one was mine. He made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. It was so wonderful to work with him and find my dress!

The Say Yes to the Dress of York, Pa

I went into this shop apprehensive about where to start with the wedding gown process. John was AMAZING. He knew exactly how to help me pick a direction and lead me to the perfect dress within 30-35 minutes. He listened to EVERYTHING I had to say and based the dresses he pulled on my feedback. He was kind, encouraging and honest. I went to a couple other dress shops and none compared to the quality of the dresses and one on one service at Renaissance. The gowns at Renaissance are made with excellent craftsmanship and have comparable prices to the other shops I visited. Their gowns don’t shed glitter like the other shops I visited. I can’t recommend Renaissance enough.

Absolutely Amazing

I have been trying to find the words to express how elated I am that I had the pleasure of finding my dress at Renaissance Bridals. It is hard to explain the "feeling" that I had my entire appointment. Jon, one of the owners, is a true artist at work. He made me feel confident, comfortable, and we had a blast trying on dresses! The first choice picked by him was the "one." We still tried on other dresses, but when you know, you know! He chose a dress that I would have never picked off the rack myself and customized it while I was there making it the exact dream dress for me. He suggested a gorgeous veil and hair piece, which tied everything together and brought my mother and I to tears. You have the entire building to YOURSELF at your appointment. No pressure, no other eyes, just you and your loved ones-if you bring them. Jon, thank you for going above and beyond. You truly created the most special moment for my mother and I, and yes I am crying tears of joy typing this review!!

Amazing experience

If you are trying to find your dream dress I highly recommend Jon ! From the moment we walked in the door he made is feel so welcome ! He asked some questions about what I was looking for and not looking for. Right away he was pulling dresses that suited what I was going after. He put me in a dress and right away I loved it ! I said multiple times “I love this dress”
I said yes to the dress and he took my measurements and we did the paperwork all within 1 and 1/2 hours!
Very pleased 😊

All Around Amazing Experience

From start to finish, Jon was absolutely a pleasure to work with. We had our own private room, which was really nice because there were no distractions or people to maneuver around. Jon really took the time to get to know me and understand the style of my wedding. I took the whole 1.5hrs for my appointment because I am very indecisive. We had another dress appointment right after, but the dresses didn't even compare to what we saw at Renaissance Bridal. I called him right after that appointment and he let me come back right away to try on the two dresses I was torn between. I was on a time crunch because we had a coordinator meeting to get to, and I was already running behind. He quickly helped me try on the dresses again, took my measurements, we bought the dress, and I was able to make it to my other appointment on time. I really appreciated his flexibility, knowledge of the dresses, and his kindness. Long story short, I couldn't be happier with my experience and my dress!! :)

Thank you, Jon!!

AMAZING! John is the best!

John is AMAZING!!!!! Got my dress in 10 minutes!!!!
I got engaged end of May and we want to get married in November of this year - I knew this would be difficult to pull off and was nervous that it might not even be possible. I emailed the team to make an appointment and they were very timely and flexible. After not having luck at the previous bridal shop I was a little discouraged, but as soon as as I stepped into Renaissance I had a good feeling - it was very clean, professional, and personal. John took one look at my Pinterest board and began pulling dresses. I may not have been able to explain what I wanted in words but he knew exactly what I envisioned. I swear I was in the shop maybe 10 minutes and I had on the dress of my dreams! I knew it was the one the second I had it on! I wish I would have went to John at Renaissance first because he truly has a knack for what he does. John made me feel absolutely stunning in my dress and I cannot wait for my wedding.
**John has also helped my sister and cousin find their wedding dresses as well so I should known that’s where I would end up.

100% recommend John and his team!

We had a fantastic experience at renaissance bridal!! Beth was very professional and responsive in setting up and adjusting our appointment time and John was such a delight to work with. He was very accommodating as I had to use a walker for the appointment and was extremely helpful with everything. He is very knowledgeable and helped me find my perfect wedding dress. It was also a very private and intimate experience - we were the only ones on the first floor for my appointment and the one-on-one experience made it that much more special! We would definitely recommend John and his team for anyone in the area!
