Melissa was my bridal consultant and she showed so much care for me, my family that had come with me, and even my fiancé who was not with me. She really took the time to get to know me and get to know what my style preferences were and understood what I needed to be able to not get overwhelmed by the options they had. She even let us go past my appointment end time because we were stuck between three options and put me back in each one to see if it could help me narrow it down and it absolutely did. I ended up buying my favorite that day and I am so, so, so excited to wear it for my wedding! If you are in the market for a dress, I highly recommend visiting Melissa and her team, they are amazing!!

My experience was extra special for a few reasons- both Ashlee & Sage were able to help me find the perfect dress & both of them will be standing by my side when I say I do! And on top of that, I am marrying Sage's brother. I truly can't imagining saying yes to the dress any other way. Modern Dress has a wide variety & selection of dresses. I tried on so many different styles. Sage & Ashlee were great at finding dresses that complemented me well AND met my mom and grandma's expectations. Whether or not you say yes at Modern Dress, I guarantee your experience will be top notch and a day to remember.

My first experience at a…read morecompletely different bridal shop had felt a little all over the place, rushed & way too invasive in personal space for my liking. This was the second bridal shop I had tried to find a wedding dress (something I wasn't even convinced I really wanted). That was until I met Katie in a last minute Saturday morning try on appointment with my future mother-in-law in attendance. She was very friendly, straight forward & made this visit effortless. The experience was comfortable and felt undemanding. What surprised me is; I got a dress that 100% loved on the hanger but was not what I thought I wanted AT ALL! However; when I put it on, I just absolutely loved how fun & unique it was! I'm glad Katie was so honest and had me try on different styles to rule some out. My only hope is that I can convince my fiancé to come try on tux's. I would recommend this business to anyone! Side note; this was an old bank & the vault inside is super cool.

All I can say is WOW! Schaffer's is completely amazing and was the best experience yet. I had gone…read moreto another local bridal store before, and felt completely at home the minute I walked into Schaffer's. You are greeted immediately and taken upstairs to get a tour and have you and your loved ones look through and pick out some favorite gowns. I worked with Kimberly, and she was so attentive and thoughtful. I never felt pressured once and she was a seasoned expert. She knew exactly what to add to the gown (straps, belt) and took my feedback and what I liked and adapted throughout the appointment. I felt so supported and beautiful the ENTIRE time. The gown selection was one of the best I have seen, and they had a wide variety of sizes which I appreciated to really see how the gown will look in real life. The dresses are split up by price point, making it very easy to stay within your budget going into it. I cannot wait for my gown to come in! I love that they have in house alterations to ensure your gown looks absolutely perfect once it arrives.

Located in the…read moreEast Village, the store has the quaint boutique feel with a large selection of amazing dresses that will suit any bride. The entire staff provides professional service and efficient communication. The process is very streamlined from beginning to end and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My consultant, Lyndsey, was phenomenal!!! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about the dresses and designers, but her personality and sense of humor put my mind at ease. She was very helpful and had a very considerate approach to helping me choose the perfect dress. I never felt rushed making such a big decision. I cannot say enough great things about her! The Bridal Boutique is a one stop shop. We purchased our bridesmaids dresses as well as rented the suits from the store (all discounted after purchasing my dress - yet another perk). In addition, I purchased my headpiece and veil here. They have a variety of sashes, jewelry, mothers outfits, and flower girl dresses too. I must mention the very talented seamstress that does amazing alterations work at a very affordable price. Since purchasing my dress, I've referred three other friends that have now found the dress of their dreams here too! I would have to say a large part of my decision to purchase a dresses from the Bridal Boutique was the amazing service. I would highly recommend the Bridal Boutique!

Shout out to Cassidy and Ace for an unexpected experience for a plus size beauty. Messaged online…read moreabout our last minute needs. Cassidy messaged back quickly explaining how to book an appointment but also encouraging us to just come in given the circumstance. When we walked in every crew member acknowledged us and Cassidy introduced herself and are consultant, Ace. My expectation was that they would pull out a few dresses that just might fit, however what they had in sizes up to 30 were several dresses in several colors and several styles to choose from. Although Ace was serving another customer she somehow managed to be mindful and ready to help at any moment. My granddaughter tried on several dresses in several styles and was able to even try on a couple that were too big, which is an unusual thing and totally unexpected. Ace was right there to provide feedback on each dress and help making sure it was on properly and suggestions as to modifications that would help it fit best. Each of the dresses were well made with quality material and excellent sewing. When we left the store I truly was not sure if I was more pleased with the dress or more pleased with the experience that they offered. We left with an amazing ball gown that was priced more than fairly, but a day later I have to say what was most valuable was the incredible experience from the first message received back from Cassidy, to every face acknowledging us when we walked in the door to the abundance of beautiful dresses and gowns to choose from, to being able to try on something a bit too big, and the one-on-one assistance Ace was able to provide us. I think of the experience as unexpected because I did not expect to leave the store with a dress and I did not expect the Queen for a Day experience the team provided. I have two daughters that are too old for prom, and one more grandchild that at this point I'm eagerly awaiting prom so we can return to Stacy's.

We were really disappointed with our experience here. The associate assigned to us seemed…read morecompletely disinterested and offered no real help or guidance. The only direct question we were asked was, "So are you buying the dress or not?" which felt abrupt and uncomfortable. The store layout didn't help. The lighting is dark and uneven, making it hard to see true colors. There are no mirrors in the dressing rooms, so you have to come out to the main floor -- but there aren't enough mirrors, which means waiting in line just to look at the dress. This caused crowding even though the store wasn't very busy. Prom dress shopping should be exciting. Unfortunately, this experience wasn't.
