I didn’t know a service like Michelle Rene’s existed, but I am very glad I found her! At my first fitting, my gown came out of the bag and panic set in. I was thinking, “how the heck am I or any of my girls going to be able to steam this well enough to make it look good for the wedding?” I was lucky enough to find Michelle Rene in a frantic Google search.I opted for the day-of wedding concierge service and I am SO glad I did! Not only did she come out the morning of the wedding to steam and press my gown, my bridesmaids gowns, and the men’s suits, but she went above and beyond with her amazing tool kit. She helped some of my girls fit into their dresses beautifully with magic tape, she fixed my mom’s bracelet when it broke, and she took AMAZING pictures of the bridal suite and first look: invaluable pictures that I was able to post on social media before I got the professional pictures. (one included here)Michelle walked around with us as my husband and I did our first look and subsequent pictures to fix my dress and hold my flowers. (amazing) When I started to ugly cry on my way out to do my first look, Michelle rubbed my back and reassured me, saving my makeup from utter doom!My dress had a complicated bustle, and Michelle did it with ease at the cocktail hour. It was great because I just stood there as she bustled and I had my own little reception line. (see the other photo) It truly made everything seamless and saved my girls from the hassle! Michelle was absolutely wonderful and what I’ve said here doesn’t even fully cover everything she did for us. If you need someone to help make your dress and wedding day less wrinkled, give Michelle a call today!Service: Bridal & bridesmaids

Michelle is absolutely incredible! I took in a 1975 vintage gown to her to be altered so it was more comfortable for my wedding in Key West. Michelle opened the back of my dress, created a bustle, and fixed the neckline. She treated the fabric with so much care and my dress ended up being stunning. Brides, take your dress to Michelle!!Services: Formal

I found Michelle Rene through a friend and had her not only had her help me design a look for my bridal shower, but also redesigned my rehearsal dinner skirt and my wedding dress alterations. In our final fitting, my mother and MOH looked at each other, completely overwhelmed of how to help me into my dress on the big day, and with five days before the wedding, my mom asked to hire her as our day-of concierge/assistant, and Michelle dropped everything to help! With an affordable price for her service, her presence was not only outstanding, it was invaluable. We didn't realize how much we needed her until the big day came. While myself as the bride was pretty cool as a cucumber, my mother was (for lack of a better word), a hot mess. Michelle not only took care of my needs (and thought of everything), but made sure my mother was calm, cool, and collected so she could enjoy the final moments of getting ready. Michelle came fully equipped with an arsenal of tools, a steamer, and such an amazing personality. She thought of all the small details, assisted the photographers and fluffed my dress as needed. She was prompt, friendly, helpful, kind, understanding, and all the things. Her alterations were stunning and I felt so comfortable and like a queen on my big day. She was there for all the moments and all the details, ensuring the ladies and men were properly ready to walk down the aisle and party at the reception. She is a dear person that felt like family that day. Would recommend her and will go back for other wardrobe design needs.Services: Custom dress design

Michelle Rene is wonderful - I went to her for alterations for my off-the-rack wedding dress. Not only did she do a great job, but she is incredibly kind and responsive. I highly recommend her to anyone.Services: Formal

I couldn't be happier with the experience I had with Michelle! To put it in perspective, I emailed her two months before my wedding in a panic because I needed my wedding dress altered and fixed in a few areas before my wedding AND I had a bridesmaid from out of state that needed her dress altered two days before the wedding. Michelle responded to me within hours assuring me that she would take care of me, set an appointment with me, told me not to worry that she would have it all taken care of before the wedding, AND guaranteed better prices than Davids Bridal! She took care of me and my bridesmaid as if we were her own family! She was friendly, flexible and an amazing price! I recommend her to any bride and/or bridesmaid out there! The alterations made to my dress were flawless!Services: Fitting & custom tailoring

Could not find shop. No one answered the phone. Not a happy experience.

I can’t fit all the good things I have to say about Michelle in one paragraph. She made all my wedding dreams come true. I did not task her with the typical bridal alterations and she hit it out of the park. Making me a custom cape for my ceremony dress and custom angel sleeves and a redesigned back for my reception dress. If that wasn’t enough she even came to my rescue on my wedding day (on location!) to ensure my bridesmaids were fitted properly. You can’t go wrong choosing Michelle Rene’ Alterations for your day.

She did a fantastic job on my bridesmaid dress. I waited last minute and she had it done. It was great. Highly recommended

I absolutely recommend Michelle. I wanted a green Christmas wedding dress and couldn’t find one that fit my vision. After sending her a few pictures she captured what I wanted immediately. She made the entire dress from scratch and I absolutely love it! Full length with a full skirt and long sleeves. Oh and did I mention a velvet vintage overcoat lined in silk with a hood!

Using Michelle Rene was absolutely the best decision when it came to altering my wedding dress. After having issues with getting in contact with the seamstress associated with my bridal shop, I was stressing out with less than 2 months to the wedding. I reached out to Michelle and she literally responded within the hour. She saw me that same week.Michelle made the whole process so easy. When I came back for the first fitting, the dress fit perfectly. For my dress, Michelle had to alter the shoulders and hem line as well as add bra cups and a bustle. She clearly knows what she’s doing. The hem was flawless, and I’m still amazed with her “bustling” skills. Michelle is also great to work with. Her positive energy is contagious. On top of that her pricing is extremely reasonable!!Highly recommend Michelle!! If I ever need a dress altered, I will not hesitate to use her.

Michelle is literally the best!! She is a miracle worker! I came to her THREE WEEKS before my wedding day without having had any alterations done. Michelle was able to getting all of my alterations done with a fitting each of those three weeks, and my dress fit and felt perfect!! On top of that, she provided day of services at my wedding location where she steamed my dress and bridal party attire, made on site alterations and fixes to some of my bridesmaid dresses, she helped make me look perfect for all of my pictures, and she overall just made my day so much smoother and relaxed. I honestly think I would have been a ball of stress and nerves without her. She just made everything about my day so much easier. All of my bridesmaids want to work with her when they get married!! Thank you a million times Michelle!!!! You've now saved me not once, but twice with both my gala dress and my wedding dress!!! I will never go anywhere else for alterations!!

wanted so badly to write a good review but I just can't. Michelle as a person is kind, but her work is another thing. She seems to be taking on too many people at one time and then lacking in communication and work. I understand that my dress had to be taken in a good amount but Michelle had my dress from June til literally the day BEFORE my wedding. I went to meet with her at Lancaster Marriot where she did measurements. I had to wait almost 20 mins after my appointment beca
