    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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 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 😊

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Absolutely amazing! 10/10

    Jon was AMAZING. I had been to a few other appointments where the consultants were nice but really didn’t feel like they knew exactly what I was looking for. Jon immediately greeted us and sat down with us for about 10 minutes to ask about what my interests were, and I felt like he actually listened! He has SO much experience and knowledge, 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!

    Amazing!!!

    John was amazing and helped me to get out of my comfort zone while finding my wedding gown. He was very flexible and able to accommodate special requests. I will always remember him and Renaissance Bridals when thinking of my beautiful gown. I am so happy to have said YES at Renaissance Bridals!

    100% Recommend

    We had an amazing experience at Renaissance Bridal. My consultant, Jon, listened to what I was looking for and was incredibly patient and helpful in every aspect. After going to a couple salons in Lancaster, it was very clear to me that he knew 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!!

    Meant to be!

    When I visited Renaissance Bridals, I had been to about 4 other salons in the area and I was convinced that I was going to need to drive to a bigger city to find what I was looking for. I am about a size 14 in streetwear so the other salons just did not have the selection I needed to find my dress in my size so I was not able to try on many of the styles I liked, or if I could try them on they were so small that I couldn't imagine how it would really look in my size.

    I had "my dress" saved in my phone, but every time I asked a local bridal salon if they had it they said no, but they could order it. I was not comfortable ordering it without every seeing it in person so I was ready to travel to a larger city to see it or move on and pick something else.

    Jon called me the day before my appointment to ask what I was looking for, what my size was, my style, my budget...etc. He said he would pull a few dresses for me ahead of time. No other salon did this extra step so it was really nice.

    I walked in the next morning and "my dress" was sitting there waiting for me! It was the first dress he pulled! I didn't even ask for this dress by name because I was ready to move on since no other salon I asked had it in stock! Jon pulled that dress without me even having to ask! It was the first dress I tried on during the appt. I tried on maybe 5 or 6 others, but I knew the first dress was mine! I was blown away that he pulled that dress and I never even told him about it!

    I had to visit the salon alone because my family and bridal party live elsewhere and Jon also helped me facetime and take pictures so my Mom could be involved.

    The shop itself is absolutely historic and beautiful and curvy brides they have a great selection for you to choose from!

    Tell Jon what you want and he will find it for you!

    Just the Absolute Best!

    I went to another bridal store, and it was lovely. However, I cannot imagine going anywhere and having a better experience. Jon, the owner, was beyond amazing! He took the time to make sure I was comfortable. He listened to what I liked and disliked. Jon asked questions to ensure he understood what I was telling him. Once I found my dress, he did not pressure me to buy or push the appointment along. Jon allowed me to enjoy the moment with my mom and facetime my friends and family who couldn't make it in. Every bride should work with Jon!

    Amazing!!!!

    Due to Covid I had to email to get an appointment and Beth got back to me quickly. To my surprise I was able to get an appointment the next day. Jon helped me. He picked out some great options for me. He made me feel like I was on an episode of say yes to the dress. He actually pick the dress I said yes to. He jacked me up and this beautiful wedding song came on “not his doing” and the tears came. And I had to have that dress. Thanks Jon I can’t wait to wear the dress you helped me pick!

    Just wow!!

    Planning a wedding is stressful. Planning a wedding during COVID is a whole new level. Renaissance was my 3rd stop for dresses and I'm happy to say my final! The experience started with a phone conversation with Jon (owner) the night before 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.

    The Dress of my Dreams!

    From the moment my family and I stepped into Renaissance Bridals it felt like everything was taken care of! We were greeted by store owner, John, welcoming us! Once I checked in at the counter my stylist, Abbie, welcomed us into a private dressing 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!

    Renaissance Bridals and Prom's reply:

    Our sincere pleasure to assist you during this journey.
    We appreciate your kind words, that you chose Renaissance to be part of your special day.
    Once again , Thank you!!!!!

    An absolute dream come true, thanks to Renaissance

    I bought my dress at Renaissance a few weeks ago, and oh what a beautiful experience it was. Being newly engaged is so exciting and one of the most anticipated and exciting parts of this process is the dress shopping!! Even though this is exciting 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.

    Wonderful :)

    I had a great experience and really appreciate all of Jon’s help finding the perfect dress for my wedding. He really listened to what I wanted regarding the price, fit, and quality. My dress is absolutely beautiful and I was happy to shop in a relaxing (I didn’t feel rushed) and safe atmosphere (masks are worn, temperatures are taken, and hand sanitizer is used anytime you come in). Thanks so much, Jon, you are great at what you do!

    Safe, Intimate, Individualized, Client Focused

    If you are struggling in the pandemic world to find a safe, intimate, individualized, client focused bridal store look no further!

    When my fiancé and I got engaged in July we were so excited but we quickly realized that planning our wedding would 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 would always recommend Renaissance Bridal and Prom!

    Intimate, Personalized, Perfect

    The owner, Jon, found the perfect dress for me on the first try! The appointment was intimate and personalized. Jon asked what style I was looking for and managed to find a dress even better than I imagined. The first dress I tried on was perfect, 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!

    Dream Wedding Dress

    I went to 3 other bridal shops before deciding to go to Renaissance. I was looking for a specific type of dress for my body type (strapless) and it seemed many other bridal shops had few options looking for a strapless lace, fitted gown. I was having decision fatigue between a few dresses and Jon helped me make a confident decision after THREE appointments with him in one week. I just picked up my dress over the weekend ( it shipped in about 4 months amid the pandemic!) and it's even more beautiful than I remembered. Thanks Jon!

    Loved them!!

    Julia was amazing!! It was such a great experience and I am so glad I had her as my consultant! She allowed me to try on as many dresses as I wanted! She knew what I was looking for and didn’t push anything! It was such a great time!! I highly recommend Renaissance! Every staff member was great complementing the way I looked in the dress! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

    Amy,

    Thank you so much for your kind review. The decision process ought to be organic and guided correctly so that when you know that you have found the one, it came from your own inspiration. I look forward to working with you further when you come pick up your gown.
