In a sneak peek posted by HollywoodLife, the designer’s Kleinfeld colleagues realize he’s back in action when they see his dog Chewy roaming the store. “If Chewy’s here, Randy’s here!” Ronni, co-owner of Kleinfeld, says in the clip.
Randy had to work remotely “because of COVID restrictions.”
As the TLC show’s 20th season got underway in July, one viewer questioned Randy about his absence. “Why weren’t you there with the brides?” that viewer asked via Twitter.
“Because of COVID restrictions I couldn’t fly to NYC, was renovating my home, and taking care of my mom,” Randy replied.

In that season premiere, however, Randy explained the COVID-19 precautions at the store — from afar, of course. “Things are looking a little different these days at Kleinfeld,” he said. “There’s plexiglass walls, fewer appointments, we have to space them out, we have to sanitize the dresses. And even with all these precautions in place, Kleinfeld is busy with brides finding their dream gowns.”
He also showed how he was working from home, even as contractors were busy renovating the place. “I’m thrilled that I get to do what I love best: helping brides. Even if it’s over the noise of the jackhammers and the buzzsaws, I get to do what I love.”
In tonight’s episode, Randy looks thrilled to be back at Kleinfeld in person. “I’m out of COVID jail!” he exclaims as he greets Ronnie.
Also on hand to welcome him back are Dorothy, Kleinfeld’s director of sales and merchandising; Marissa, the company’s chief operating officer; and Mindy, a consultant.
“It is so amazing to be back, to be able to hug people, to be able to do what I love, in person, to be out of the house,” Randy tells his coworkers. “Of course I’m ready! I’m ready, baby!”

He recently opened up about a Kleinfeld appointment that left him “so disgusted.”
In other Randy news, the consultant recently reflected on a Say Yes to the Dressappointment he had to walk out of. In that appointment — which fans saw in a 2019 episode — a bride named Samantha clashed with her mother, who even said that a gown she liked on a mannequin looked “ugly” on her daughter.

“There was a mother that was absolutely just mocking her daughter and laughing at her and humiliating her,” Randy told Insider this July, referring to that appointment. “I had to walk out of the appointment. I was so disgusted.”
He explained: “You have somebody like myself who has never had the honor to have children and the privilege to be able to raise a child, but you have had that and this is the way you treat them.”
And Randy added that his goal is to help his clients pick a dress in which they feel beautiful. “Because when they feel beautiful, they wear that dress like there is no other dress on the planet,” he said.
That said, Randy's social media posts tell us that he has since returned to Kleinfeld. This may mean that for some upcoming appointments we see on the show, Randy will, in fact, be interacting with the brides and their families in person.
He is now an independent consultant. He has been a fashion designer since 1992. In 2007, Fenoli made his television debut on the U.S. cable channel TLC with Say Yes To The Dress, where his wit and fashion sensibilities charmed viewers.
"Say Yes to the Dress" star Randy Fenoli is going from bridal support to groom. Fenoli, 58, proposed to his partner Mete Kobal on Saturday, as he shared on Instagram. The reality TV star and designer asked Kobal to marry him at Marmara Park Avenue in New York, where Kleinfeld Bridal is located, according to Instagram.
Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo says she was fired from her first job at Kleinfeld Bridal for trying on the gowns. “When I was the stock girl, I would carry all these big wedding dresses that were really heavy,” she said on Fox Business Network.
From 2007-2012 Randy worked as Fashion Director at New York's Kleinfeld Bridal Salon where he would consult with nearly 15,000 brides a year. Today as the star of TLC's Say Yes to the Dress, Big Bliss, Randy Knows Best, and Randy to the Rescue, Randy is seen by millions of viewers each week.
The crew captured my genuine reactions. And if I said something funny, cute, or cool, I quickly learned to expect to see that footage over and over again.
Randy Fenoli, who has a net worth of $8 million, will host Say Yes to the Dress alongside his team of consultants. Throughout the course of the season, the members at Kleinfeld will ensure they meet their customers' needs and cater to all the bride's needs as well as her family's and entourage.
Discovery announced on Dec. 5 that the show will return to TLC for a new season on April 6, 2024 at 8 p.m. ET. Wondering what season 23 will look like? "This season, Randy and his team navigate the toughest entourages, new extreme demands and even pull off a surprise wedding in the salon," Warner Bros.
After later contract negotiations broke down, JLM said Gutman locked the company out of the "Miss Hayley Paige" Instagram account, promoted products from other companies without JLM's permission and violated a noncompetition agreement.
The $100 booking fee required for Friday, Saturday and Sunday appointments is processed at the time of the appointment booking. If you purchase a dress at Kleinfeld during your appointment, the booking fee will be applied towards the balance of your dress purchase.
1) Randy Fenoli does not work for Kleinfeld Bridal anymore
As you've seen on the TV show, our former Fashion Director, Randy Fenoli has launched a new line of wedding dresses that he has put his heart and soul into.
The bridal fashion designer, 59, proposed to his fiancé, 39, in December of 2022 at New York City's Marmara Park Avenue Hotel, where they met. They had been dating for about a year after connecting at the hotel's bar, where Kobal worked as the restaurant and bar manager — and they've been inseparable since.
It's unsurprising that Say Yes To The Dress season 23 premiered in Spring 2024. It's still early in the season and there are plenty of new episodes to come.
