Say Yes to the Dress' Randy Fenoli Says His Job Is 'Like a Drug': 'It's Almost Like an Addiction for Me' (Exclusive)

Despite having worked in the bridal industry for more than three decades, Randy Fenoli never gets tired of helping brides find their dream wedding dress.

From extreme demands to judgmental entourages, the bridal fashion designer, 61, has seen it all. And even after more than 20 seasons of starring on Say Yes to the Dress, Fenoli tells PEOPLE ahead of the hit TLC show's new season that he can't get enough.

"I've been doing this 32 years, and I get so excited," Fenoli says. "It's kind of silly, it's almost like an addiction for me. It truly is."

Fenoli doesn't plan on slowing down his career anytime soon.

"I will keep on and keep on and keep on, trying to find that perfect dress that makes her feel and look beautiful on her wedding day," he says. "So, yeah, that's a huge thing for me. It's like an adrenaline rush. It's like a drug, it really is for me. It never gets old."

The moment a woman finds her wedding gown is an unforgettable part of her bridal story. The professionals inside Kleinfeld Bridal, where Say Yes to the Dress is filmed, have made such an impact on thousands of brides' experiences by offering thoughtful fashion makeovers (and sometimes even family therapy sessions) that the show's title has become a popular catchphrase for brides all over the world. 

Fenoli's expertise also landed him the lead in Say Yes to the Dress' spin-off series Say Yes to the Dress: Randy Knows Best, which premiered in April 2011 and showcased his top ten bridal tips. The following year, he starred in Randy to the Rescue, in which he traveled around America with the ultimate popup bridal salon. The show's two seasons ran from June 2012 to August 2013. 

Several years later, in January 2021, Fenoli was the face of Say Yes to the Dress: In Sickness and In Health, where he helped brides fulfill their wedding dreams during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I'm just really excited," Fenoli tells PEOPLE. "...I just think that the world is on edge waiting for the new season of Say Yes to the Dress. And these little girls that watch the show, they're now married, and maybe had their little girls, so I think it's going to be a whole new generation."
