Renee Austin Wedding

would fit my style and made the whole experience incredibly fun. She even helped a skeptical family member come around to liking the dress i chose! I would choose Renee Austin 100 times over.

eye when I named my budget, just asked whether I was okay trying on floor samples (which I was) and then knocked it out of the park with the dresses she pulled based on my inspo photos and styles of interest. (I pulled style numbers in advance off their website, which DOES show actual dresses, unlike some places). Not only did I find an absolutely beautiful dress that everyone raved over (and I felt like a queen wearing), at an affordable price, I also found the perfect veil at an accessories appointment several months later, after the dress alterations were done. Seriously, this store is a gem. If you're having trouble finding the right dress - or even if you're just getting started - give this place a try. One of the best, smoothest experiences of my whole wedding planning process.

mily. I truly felt special being there. I wish the dress I fell in love with was one they carried, but I’ll be recommending Renee Austin to everyone!

style and picked dresses that matched this perfectly! So happy I came to Renee Austin and would highly recommend!

wn. My stylist was Katrina and she knocked it out of the park. She made me feel comfortable and supported. She didn’t hover when I needed time to consider and took plenty of photos of me in the gown so I could send to my family. I walked out of the salon that day with my dress and am so pleased with my decision and the great customer service I received.

g your wedding dress from here!

e. I love the dress I ended up with! It has a couple small stains/marks and some loose beads, but it was a sample dress so I really don’t have any complaints. Plus my dress was half off! I received SO many compliments on my dress and everyone said it was perfect for me, and many asked where I got it. Would recommend anyone to Renee Austin!

in there for years. Every time I walked in I knew I was in good hands, and they have a wonderful recommendation for a seamstress. Just a wonderful place to buy your wedding dress. Mia is the absolute best!! Don't hesitate to go there! :)

experience! If I could do it all over again, I would.

listened to me so well, based on listening to my likes and dislikes she found my dress for me and I would’ve never found it myself!! Plus the store itself is adorable and all the staff and very very friendly! 100% recommend!

variety of chic and elegant styles. As a queer bride I always worry about having a bad experience, but the universe gave me PAIGE! She was my safe space and was so inclusive. She made me feel seen, allowed me to be my authentic self, and helped me find my dream dress! She communicated well with me, addressed all my concerns, and I felt like a Goddess in my JAlexander dress! Thank you RA team and Paige for giving brides like me the environment we need to feel safe and celebrated!

pulled all of the dresses I liked and then when I started to tell her exactly what I did and did not like about the dresses she pulled ones that matched what I wanted. I told her my budget right away and she made sure not to bring any dresses outside of my budget. She was truly incredible to work with and she wasn't just trying to make a sale. She made me feel comfortable and really listened to what I wanted. I ended up finding my dress and also doing alterations through who they recommend as well once the dress came in. Absolutely wonderful experience!

tayed in my price range and was great with helping me during the whole process. I didn’t feel rushed or pressured. She continuously asked how I was feeling and what I was thinking. The salon itself is cute and small. It had a very wide selection of dresses. I would highly recommend this bridal salon to everyone.

e dress she picked out. We also found my girls' dresses there as well and ordering/measuring was easy and smooth.

s. They knew what to steer away from but also how to push me to try something new, and I couldn't help but compare my experience there each time I went to a different shop. They knocked it out of the park, and my best friend who is also engaged even loved my experience so much that she got her dress from there, too! I can't recommend them enough, honestly. They can do it all!

esses available, even those not in my style were just beautiful. Even though I had a low budget, Ondrea was able to find floor samples for me that were in great condition and fit great too. I thought she offered the perfect assistance (despite COVID limitations!) - she helped me zip and button, clipped the dress, arranged the hem, gave space, fetched a cape for the look, asked good questions (not too many or too few, too) and gave me the perfect amount of time in each dress without rushing or dawdling. She was professional but very kind too and very easy to work with. I had been to two other stores earlier in the day so my shopping party was getting a little tired and cranky by the time we arrived, but everyone cheered up quickly and had great things to say about the experience at Renee Austin Wedding! I was able to call and email with questions and always received helpful answers quickly from all their staff. I'm really happy with the dress I bought from them!! I can't emphasize enough how great Ondrea was and how she really helped me finally feel like I was shopping for a wedding dress.

her 4 bridal salons I visited before this. I highly recommend them. When they quoted me a size that they could have shipped they threw in my belt for free as a compensation and it really sweetened the experience. They are really about helping the bride. Thank you for the care and experience!

dress she pulled was flawless. She did so well it was hard to choose, i'll definitely be returning to Renee Austin.

an array of bridesmaid dresses that coordinated well so that each of my bridesmaids could wear a dress that they loved. Had I not already had my dress, I would've looked for my wedding dress there as well! I highly recommend checking out Renee Austin!!

eel like I was top priority and that every detail I desired was important to them. They were very patient, courteous, personable and honestly made this the greatest experience I could have ever asked for while wedding dress shopping. In total, I went to 9 bridal salons looking for the perfect dress, and none of the other salons compared to the customer service and shopping experience I received at Renee Austin. Needless to say I purchased my dress from Renee Austin and I couldn't be happier! Thank you so much for this incredible and memorable experience. I'm so excited!!!

e quick to respond to phone calls/emails and any questions you might have. I would highly recommend them!

nce, they were always available for dress related recommendations such as alterations, preservation, etc. The staff is so sweet and the the boutique has a wonderfully charming and intimate atmosphere!

wonderful and I was very happy I went there!

rocess, but the consultants at Renee Austin made me feel right at home. The environment is calm and inviting. The inside is beautiful! They first asked me what my vision for my wedding day was, "What did I want it to look like?" Then, they picked out a few dresses for me to try on. It made it such a fun and exciting and relaxing process! When I came back for my second visit, I had two dresses in my mind that were my favorite. After trying on the first, I tried on the second, I just knew it was my dress. As I stepped up on the platform to look at myself, Eliza exclaimed, "Girl, you look like a queen!" It was the dress I couldn't stop thinking about, and in that moment I knew it was MY dress! When I said "Yes to the dress," Eliza went to check the stock for the dress based on my measurements. She came back and said, "Okay, here's the deal. We can have the dress made, but it'll come 3 days before your wedding, which honestly is not enough time. But there is one dress in your size in stock that will arrive in 2 weeks." It happened to be the only dress available in the entire country in my size! Getting my dress was truly a miracle, and I LOVE it. And the veil I picked out was absolutely perfect for my dress. I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day!! Thanks Renee Austin for helping me choose my dress in a way that was calm and fun. I felt like a queen!

nd supportive of my visions, goals, and budget. My measurements were perfect and the day my dress arrived, it fit like a glove? I truly felt special from the moment I first walked in the door. Even when I called back month's later for questions on my dress and bridesmaids dresses, they were so happy to answer any question I had. If you are looking for the classic blissful bridal experience, this is the place to go!

etting my dress from there. I went to about 10 different dress shops before pulling the trigger on my dress but by far I had the best experience with Renee Austin. Eliza was the greatest, she honestly took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for - I felt like she was one friends while working with her. Renee Austin had a great selection of dresses, great customer service, and was very accommodating with scheduling around me as I live in Detroit. I can't recommend them enough.

ompare the two experiences! Even though the salon was busy, Rachel, my consultant, was attentive and fun, and made me feel like a million bucks! Even other consultants walking through the salon would compliment what I was trying on! It was such a fun and friendly atmosphere, and there was such a great variety of styles and sizes in dresses. I wish I could go shopping there all over again, and I will totally recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding dress!

entire experience at Renee Austin was exactly what I envisioned and hoped for. The store is beautiful and the associates are kind and knowledgeable. I found it to be relaxing and non-judgmental. They let me take my time and listened to my opinions. I especially loved being able to try on a dress in my size and did not have to feel self-conscious squeezing into a small sample size. I found the perfect dress and I could not be happier.

ow well my bridesmaids appointment went too! Brought all 6 of my girls in and expected to just get some ideas but they helped me pick out the girls dresses so well, we ordered them on the spot! Highly recommend if you like a cute boutique!

t some other bridal salons, so Renee Austin was a breath of fresh air. All of the girls were so sweet and the store is amazing. I found a dress I loved thanks to them!

for me. The staff was so kind and helpful, and I felt at home immediately. After an hour of attempts...my assistant hit the nail on the head with a random idea (added an overskirt and belt to a fit and flare). From there on out it was over....I could not have been more happy with my dress and the service I received at Renee Austin. I highly recommend them for any bride!!!

Also, she did a GREAT job helping me find a dress that captured my personality, and flattered my body. Everyone was so cheery, the salon was well kept, and I already cannot wait to see my dress again! Thank you guys for your hospitality today. 12/10 recommend!

o the next level. I recommend them to anyone!

worked with Mia who took the time to learn my style and somehow pulled the perfect dresses from their huge selection. She had no complaints when I kept asking to put “the dress” back on and she brought us champagne when I said Yes to the dress! When my dress came in, it fit perfectly thanks to Mia’s measurements. It needed some minor alterations and Mia continued her fabulous customer service by recommending a trusted seamstress. I could not have been more pleased. Plus, I found the dress of my dreams. Thank you Renee Austin! Brides, if you live in Michigan, make the trip - it’s worth it!

rience this is your place. I couldn't recommend them more!

and genuinely excited for me. Rachel was simply amazing! She was so kind and sweet and accommodated my whole crew including my two 10 year old daughters who she let assist her with every step. Amazing. Thank you Renee Austin!

I had a lot of fun trying on dresses, and all suggestions were within the realm of the "vision" I had for my wedding dress. The shop had a large changing/modeling area which made having family around a lot of fun. The atmosphere made me feel so fancy! I was in a weird situation, looking for a dress in Grand Rapids for a wedding there, but living in Los Angeles. After I bought my dress (the ladies were all genuinely excited), I was able to work with them to schedule my fittings and adjustments around a flight schedule, and they were willing to hold my dress and veil to accommodate me not being around.

had multiple family members come in from out of town so that meant a lot to me. The store offered plenty of room for my mom, sister, mother in law, sister in law and cousin to sit comfortably while I tried on dresses. Emily helped me during my appointment and she is the absolute best. We had talked on the phone when I scheduled my appointment and immediately clicked. At the start of my visit, Emily had me show her some photos of what I liked. She made sure to ask some clarifying questions and then picked a few dresses for me to start with. After I realized that what I thought I liked didn't end up looking how I envisioned, we started to experiment and improvise. Eventually we ended up putting together multiple separate pieces to create the most beautiful, unique, perfectly styled dress with a capelet and belt on a more simple dress. Once I had the entire look on everyone got emotional. I couldn't believe that I had found my dream dress at my first appointment. I eventually went back to Renee Austin for my bridal shower dress and would absolutely return for formalwear in the future. The capelet portion of my dress was running behind and they were communicative throughout the entire process. I've recommended them to multiple brides since my experience. I really felt like they were all on my team and wanted to make sure I felt absolutely gorgeous. Way to go ladies. You've got this figured out. Keep it up.

a wedding dress because I like so many different styles, but they listened to what I liked and didn't like and found a dress that brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful experience. I highly recommend Renee Austin to anyone getting married!

and really take into consideration what you say and quickly understand and adapt. I have never been happier with my experience with them and will continue to recommend their services to all future brides/bridesmaids. 5 stars and thank you ladies so much!

even picked out the dress I said yes to! Dress shopping was kind of stressful for me, but the staff at Renee Austin made it fun. Plus, their inventory is stunning. Every dress I saw was beautiful!

e. Eliza also showed me different veils, but after realizing I'm not a veil girl, she brought me an amazing hair piece that matches my dress perfectly. As my future mother-in-law said, "you have to love a girl who knows her inventory." Eliza absolutely knows the inventory at Renee Austin and that made my hunt for the perfect dress so effortless.

first, and afterwards the other 3 didn't even compare - our consultant at Renee Austin (Mia) was the only one who really listened to what I was looking for in a dress and she found the perfect one for me. She just happened to be there again when I went back to look for my veil and did it again :) They also work with a tailor who did an amazing job on my dress, as well as a woman who does dress preservation who I intend to use. Beautiful dresses, awesome people - I'm so grateful!
