    personal dress shop

    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!

    Very reasonable and patient

    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.

    Amazing Bridal Shop

    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.

    Excellent selection of dresses and great staff

    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.

    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.

    Rena Elle Couture's reply:

    HI Robin,
    I'm so happy that everything turned out perfect despite the belt being incorrect! You were a pleasure to work with and please send us some pics when you have a moment!

    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 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.

    Rena Elle was the 2nd dress shop I visited, and I was very pleased with their selection of bridal gowns. I didn't have an appointment, but Corrine assisted us at the visit, and she was so nice & helpful. I was so excited to have found my dress that day, and the whole ordering process was very easy...my dress even came in earlier than expected. I would definitely recommend Rena Elle to all South Jersey brides!

    Rena Elle Couture's reply:

    I'm glad we had the opportunity to meet. You were so lovely and great to work with. Congratulations on your wedding. We wish the best, and were honored to be a part of the process!

    Corinne is the best consultant I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. She was very professional, personable and patient with me. She let me try on several dresses and took her time to help me find the perfect wedding dress. I ordered my dress really early so the dress arrived a year before my actual wedding. I would call Corinne and she would let me stop by and try on my dress, I did this probably at least every other month until my wedding. Marianna was also extremely helpful when I needed my dress altered slightly and my hem taken in. She would compliment me and even had me stand in the store front window with my dress. Thank you to Corinne and Marianna for helping me look beautiful on my wedding day.

    What an amazing experience! I was so nervous about finding a dress and had had a number of awful dress shopping experiences until I found Rena Elle. Corinne took as much time as she needed with me and listened to everything I was saying (and what I wasn't saying!). She was patient and kept a sense of humor through the process, which really helped! Finally we found the dress and she was so encouraging and I felt like she was giving genuine feedback. Also, Corinne suggested I wait to purchase the dress during a Trunk Show, which I appreciated, rather than just closing the sale that day. Later on in the process I met Jen, who was also fantastic. Both Jen and Corinne walked me through the tailoring process, which considering my dress size dropped drastically was a bit scary to make sure it would all work out okay. They were so upbeat, and always checked in to make sure I was okay. Every time I walked into Rena Elle I felt taken care of and valued as a customer. I can't say enough things about my fantastic experience at Rena Elle (and highly recommend using Mariana as the seamstress- she is AMAZING!!). Thank you ladies for making the dress buying experience stress free and fun!

    Rena Elle Couture's reply:

    We are SO thrilled you had a lovely experience here at Rena Elle. We're an unconventional little group- hopefully you enjoyed my humor haha! We were honored to work with during your engagement and become part of your special day. Congratulations!!! We would love to see pictures!

    Rena Elle Couture has a very "at home" atmosphere. I worked with Corinne and felt very comfortable with her. She was a real gem! And there's such a wide variety of dresses that I ended up deciding between two completely different styles! Most places I went were pushy and didn't listen to what I was looking for. Corinne knew exactly what I wanted and even showed me different looks I ended up loving! I really recommend Rena Elle if just for the experience. The prices of the dresses are decent considering the quality. I love my dress!

    Rena Elle Couture's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words! I will add "mind-reader" to my resume. ;)

    Haha- I'm SOO glad you found the dress of your dreams here. You were an absolute pleasure to work with, and we're so happy for you. Congratulations to a beautiful Rena Elle Bride!!

    The girls in the shop are so helpful. My dress was not in stock and they put together a dress that would be as close to mine to help pick out my veil while I waited for my dress to arrive. They exceeded my expectations by miles! My dress and custom ordered veil came in and they are perfect I can't wait to wear them on my special day:)

    I absolutely adore Rena Elle Couture! Everyone there is very attentive and professional. I didn't want a strapless gown, so after visiting four other shops that only pulled strapless and told me to alter the dress, I felt a little defeated. That is until I came here. Corinne pulled a number of dresses that fit what I described and I went from having no interest in any dress to needing to decide between two beautiful Allure gowns. Everyone was very patient while I tried them both on twice. They were so nice when I came back to try my actual gown on, and told us we can come back to 'visit her' any time.

    Rena Elle Couture's reply:

    Patience is key. We don't let you put a dime down until we know you love the dress! We are SO happy you found your perfect gown. I'm honored to have the opportunity to work with you. Congratulations!! Keep in touch- I love pics!!

    I got my wedding dress and bridal belt from here. I also had my alterations done here. The people are the absolutely the best! So incredibly sweet, calm, and ready to help whether it is with pep talk to training your maid of honor exactly what to do on your day. I love them and im kind of sad that now i wont have an excuse to go in and see them!! However, they have already told me to come back whenever possible even if im bored. hahaha. You feel like family there for sure.

    Where do I start? From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was their only customer. The girls were never pushy and really wanted me to LOVE my dress even if it wasn't from their store. I felt like they were my best friends, just as excited about my big day as I was. I can't wait to go back and show them pictures once I have them. Thank you Laurie, Dana & Corinne for making my wedding dress shopping experience so memorable!!!

    I had such a wonderful experience with Rena Elle Couture. I had visited a handful of other places before this store, but none offered me any kind of feedback about my dress. Rena Elle was the first place who took my ideas for what I was looking for AND expanded on them to find a dress that was so beyond perfect, but beyond this, they were honest! I never would have picked out the dress they helped me find, but the second I tried it on, I knew. Everyone who works there is fabulous and you come to feel like part of the family. Marianna helped with my alterations and she was just fantastic. I was sad to say goodbye to her at my last fitting. Rena Elle Couture is a wonderful store and I received fabulous compliments about my dress on my wedding day!

    Rena Elle was awesome to work with from start to finish. Their entire staff (esp. the manager) is incredibly sweet and attentive, from the moment you walk in the store right through the day you walk out with your dress.

    When I first went in to Rena Elle, the sales person took one look at me and said "I have your dress." She pulled a dress for me, I tried it on... and that was it. My parents and I visited several other shops and tried on a bunch of other gowns, but nothing compared. So - it was back to Rena Elle, where we bought the dress off the rack!

    I paid slightly more at Rena Elle than I may have at other shops... but it was SO worth it. Every experience I had there was great, and I really appreciated the personal attention their staff gave me every time I walked in. I highly recommend them for any bride looking for gorgeous dresses and a highly professional staff of sales and service people to help throughout the process.

    Rena Elle was the first salon I went to when I tried on wedding dresses. The staff was so professional and made me feel like I was shopping with friends. They didn't pressure me at all and in fact suggested since it was my first time trying on dresses that I look elsewhere and come back. I ended up coming back and finding my dress and couldn't have been happier with the service I received from them. They did my alterations as well and I felt like I could have stayed for hours each time I came to the store. I never was rushed and always felt so important and cared for. I love Rena Elle and would highly suggest them to anyone looking for a wedding dress. Oh and all the dresses I tried on were very reasonably priced!

    Diane helped me through the whole process..she was the most lovely, down-to-earth, and ‘non pressure person’. I was fairly unsure what I wanted and she was very supportive all along the way. Rena Elle Couture also let me keep my dress there for a few weeks before I picked it up to get it altered by a seamstress I knew. They were super accommodating:) I’m sharing a picture below of the final result:)

    I purchased my wedding dress from this store. It was absolutely beautiful. The woman who helped me try all the dresses on was extremely helpful. The dress did take 6 months to come in... I needed my dress dramatically altered since I ordered a size 12 and became pregnant 5 months after ordering my dress. I didn't have my dress yet and they could not change the size (I was 28 weeks when I got married). Alterations at this store would have cost me over $400 to make it bigger, take out the zipper and make it a tie back, and the hem. I went elsewhere for the alterations.

    Loved loved loved my dress!

    The saleswoman was so sweet. There was no pressure to buy and we ended up coming back that afternoon to purchase the dress. The only thing is that I should not have bought the next size up, but it all worked out in the end:)
