I worked with Mia throughout my entire experience starting from me disliking every dress to allowing me to browse, which eventually led to me finding mg gown. She also helped with my veil. While I primarily worked with Mia, I did work with a few others who also went above and beyond. When I wasn’t quite ready to say “yes to the dress” I was allowed to come back the same day, try it on and confirm my decision. Ten years ago my Prom dress was purchased here, when the store looked nothing like it currently does, so happy to put on another gown I’ve fallen in love with from Renee Austin.

I had a wonderful experience looking for my yes dress! Dre was my consultant and she did her thing! I’m one to trust the professionals and she did not disappoint. I felt completely comfortable the entire and left even more excited than when I came! I appreciate your services and I hope she is paid appropriately because she deserves it! Seriously left wanting to be her friend. Looking forward to my dress coming in! Thank you so much! You were my first choice and my only choice!

I had the absolute best experience. Eliza did an exceptional job listening to my wedding details and picking some amazing dresses. She perfectly encapsulated what I wanted, worked some magic to extend the sample sale, and made sure everyone felt welcome and included. 11/10 would recommend to anyone looking for their dream dress. They have a beautiful selection of dresses at so many price points, and are willing to help so that price isn’t the deciding factor. I can’t thank you enough!

Eliza is a true gem. I went to Renee Austin to shop for my reception dress and she made the process so fun and easy. She is so warm and welcoming!

Katrina was a dream to work with! She pulled 5 great dresses based on us talking for a few minutes. Who would have thought number 3 was the one I would say yes to! All the uniqueness of the dress made it impossible to find a like one in the store to compare it to. It was the farthest thing from my Pinterest board ideas and I couldn't be more happy and in love with it! Huge thanks to that team for helping me see options and giving honest feedback.

The staff at Renee Austin was so welcoming and patient during my visit. They were very easy to communicate with when scheduling and asking questions. The staff is very accommodating to any special requests. Overall, my visit with Renee Austin was empowering and hopeful, instead of feeling rushed, judged and hopeless at another bridal store. I cannot thank the staff at Renee Austin enough for everything they did for me! I will recommend Renee Austin to all of my friends and family!

I had the most wonderful experience. I was excited and nervous going in. I was worried that I would not be able to find anything that would work on me. As soon as I walked in the door Mia and Danielle made me feel so welcome. I showed Mia the kind of dresses that caught my eye. She also brought some that were not initially on my radar. I was pleasantly surprised that one of my picks was one of the different ones that Mia picked out. I am happy to say that they helped me find my two styles of dresses that I was hoping for. I want to thank Mia and Danielle again for all the help and making me feel like the beautiful bride I have always wanted to be.

My stylist did an amazing job and made the whole experience fun. She understood my style perfectly and picked out exactly what I was looking for. I couldn’t ask for a better stylist than Eliza. My first wedding dress try-on experience was perfect and Renee Austin Wedding had a wide variety of beautiful dresses.

Thank you a million! I think my stylist's name was Danielle, and she was amazing - so helpful! She made me feel so beautiful! There was another girl working too, I didn't catch her name, but she was also so sweet and helpful! Both ladies were super accommodating with questions I had! Would (and do) recommend Renee Austin to every bride!

Katrina was very helpful in showing me various types of dresses in the style I requested. Katrina was also positive and helped me feel confident in each dress. I appreciated Katrina's ability to select dresses I would enjoy as well as help me envision myself on my wedding day. Overall, Renee Austin bridal was a fantastic experience!

I went with the complete opposite of the dress I thought I wanted and I am so happy you were on that journey with me! Thank you!

Our experience was perfect. It was everything I hoped for and more. All the staff was friendly and helpful, especially Eliza. She made us feel welcome, listened to what I wanted, offered alternative options and suggestions, and was just an absolute joy to work with. My family felt included and we all had the best time! I found the perfect dress and some wonderful accessories!

I had such a great experience at Renee Austin purchasing my wedding dress. Eliza was absolutely amazing and made me feel soo comfortable and was extremely helpful in a somewhat stressful situation. I would recommend her to everyone! She made the experience wonderful and was very personable with me and my family.

Wow what an experience it was shopping at Reneé Austin! I had one dress appointment at another shop prior to this and felt so defeated and like I’d never find my dress. I cannot begin to explain how polar opposite my experience with Eliza was! She is the fairy godmother of consultants and the best hype girl!! She started the appointment by asking me what my wedding vibe was and what I liked/disliked and info about sizing and budget. I honestly would have bought the most expensive dress if I was in love but was hoping to stay towards the middle of range. Eliza took the challenge to find me my dream dress and come closer to the middle price range and boy did she deliver! She pulled me 4 dresses initially and the dress I ended up ordering was the first dress I tried on. Girl understood the assignment ?? I’ve been looking back at pictures not only obsessed with the dress but also living for the pure happiness on my face. I have some body insecurities like most women but Eliza sure had me gassed up and feeling like a million bucks! Coming from a girl who can’t make a decision to save her life, I was so sure this was my dress that I cancelled my next appointment at another shop. Why keep looking when you’ve found perfection?! This was the experience I dreamed of, this was the consultant I needed, and this was the dress I had always pictured getting married in. THANK YOU Eliza and Renee Austin!??

Mia was amazing. She was great during my first appointment giving me a variety of options. Also when I reached out for other options a few days later with some new style details, her first pick ended up being the dress I chose!

I had the best experience trying on and picking up my dress! Staff was so friendly and made me feel like a special bride. I didn't feel pressured at all into choosing a dress but had great help in figuring out the style/design I wanted and what I felt fit me!

Even though I didn’t find anything I loved enough to buy, my consultant was so sweet and accommodating! Good experience.

I had the BEST experience at Renee Austin Wedding! Eliza was fabulous at selecting beautiful dresses for me to try on and she was very respectful of my budget. As an indecisive person, I was shocked that I said yes to the dress on my first appointment! I recommend Renee Austin Wedding to every bride! <3

This was the best experience I have had at a bridal store! The young lady that worked with me was so friendly, understanding and took her time with helping me figure everything out. I definitely recommend them for your dress shopping experience, you will have a great time and the staff truly cares about you and your wedding!

Eliza was absolutely amazing. I struggled to express the kind of dress I was looking for because this was my first time doing this. Eliza was quick to figure out the dresses that were "me" and we had it narrowed down super quick. I had gone to a couple other bridal shops after Renee Austin and no experience compared to what Eliza (and team) was able to provide. I am so so thankful we have this gem of a shop that's filled with such caring workers so close to home. You guys are truly amazing. I ended up saying YES to the dress and am officially a Renee Austin bride! I could NOT be happier. Thank you guys, truly. You made this experience a breeze and I feel SO beautiful.

I was a walk-in bride and Danielle went absolutely out of her way to make sure it felt like I still had a special experience in the store. She is so sweet and reassuring, and even pulled a few more dresses for me to try on - something I was not expecting to be able to do as a walk-in! As a plus size bride, she made me feel incredibly comfortable. I could not say enough nice things about Danielle and my experience at Renee Austin.

The most friendly staff are at Renee Austin!! I had the most amazing experience and I’m super thankful for the staff and of course, my beautiful dress!

Mia is literally the best! So helpful, kind, and sweet. Couldn't have asked for anyone better to help me, and I loved that she didn't make me feel pressured with anything. I can always tell when bridal shops are really trying to push you to buy one of their dresses, I can't stand that. Renee Austin didn't do that, and I can't speak more highly of them after my 2 appointments there.

I had the absolute best experience at Renee Austin with Katrina. Prior to the appointment I was extremely nervous to try on dresses and wasn’t sure how I would feel. Katrina took time to get to know me and made me feel so comfortable throughout my entire time at Renee Austin. Also every time another employee walked by during my appointment they would smile or say something really nice on how the dress looked, it just made me feel great! This was my first shop I went to and I found my dress, never did I think that would happen! Great selection and all around fantastic shop.

Our experience at Renee Austin was amazing. My daughter was treated like everything was made just for her. Mia selected dresses and listened to everything my daughter wanted and made everything perfect! My daughter said Mia made her day perfect and helped her find the “dress “. The shop was beautiful as well! Highly recommend Renee Austin!!

Mia and the Renee Austin team have provided an exceptional experience from my first appointment trying on dresses to dress pick-up day. I couldn't recommend a better place to choose my special dress. Maggie and her team should be so proud at what they've created!

I had the most amazing experience at Renee Austin! Eliza was my bridal consultant and I truly cannot say enough good things about her.

I would like to thank Jenn for an incredible experience. She was very attentive and ended up helping me find my dream dress after listening to what I liked and taking the time to go to a different part of the store to pull the dress. It was perfect and I’m so thankful that she thought to do that. She also found the perfect veil and belt for it and made it so easy to purchase everything off the rack and have ready for me when I was ready to make the purchase. I’m so grateful.

Beautiful store with breath taking dresses. My personal bridal consultant did such a great job! I am said YES to a dress that she personally picked up after hearing my wants and needs. Highly recommend!!

I had the best experience at Renee Austin! Jenn was incredible - she made the process relaxed, easy, and (most importantly) fun! My initial appointment was my first time dress shopping and she had me try on a variety of styles until we narrowed down what I liked. Then we found *the* dress! She encouraged me to shop around a little more, which I did, but by the time I came back for my retry I knew that dress was the one. I’d recommend Renee Austin to everyone :) such a cute space and intimate shop! And everyone who works there is fabulous and kind.
