Alexis Occasions are literally amazing!! We went in for prom dress shopping 4/11. I called ahead to see if we needed an appointment and we didn't. The second we walked in, we were greeted and they did a detailed consult with my daughter to see what she wanted. First dress she tried on she loved the style but not the color. They brought it out in black (my daughter wanted) and that was it! It was perfect! They took her measurements for the few alterations she needed, and we get to pick it up on Saturday!! Super affordable, and they are the best!! Would definitely go back!! read more

One star is to good. They sold my 17 year old daughter a dress that was extremely to big in the bust with no alterations. $340.00 down the drain. Now they will not return dress. This place is a rip off. **Beware do not shop here. ** read more

Unfortunately I won't be coming back here. I have gotten quite a few dresses altered over the years, and I don't care how busy you are or how much business you have, it's the customers that make your business. The service you provide and what you say to them makes all the difference. I got my daughter's prom dress altered and the hem was perfect for the length but the top was 5 inches WAY too tight. To the point where the clasp broke. Now, I should have had my daughter try it on before we left but I've always just left with the dresses... so once we realized the dress was too tight I called Margarita and asked her if there was anything that could be done. She said no she wouldn't have time and they 'insist' the dress is tried on before we leave her store. She ended the conversation with 'have a great day' and hung up. Well, she never said anything about trying on the dress before we leave and we were in a hurry to get to a birthday party so I just didn't think anything of it. $130 that was partially wasted on altering this beautiful dress and I am completely disappointed in the service I received and will not be returning. I found a lovely alteration shop close to me that was happy to fix the dress and basically just added a corset back - it took her 1 day and in time for prom today ( I drove all the way from Ojai because I remembered using Alexis Occasions in the past ). I won't be coming back to Alexis Occasions and you should never be too busy to TRY to at least take a look at the dress. She wasn't even willing to try to fix it or look at it. I will be reviewing the alterations shop that I used in Ojai. Sometimes it's worth it to use a smaller business versus a larger one that is just too busy for their customers. read more

I needed a last minute brides dress. We decided to get married in two days. Most bridal shops could not help me because of my size. I called Alexis Occasions and Margaret said come in. We went in that day, she showed me a few dresses, I picked one and next day went in for alterations and in a few hours picked up my dress and the next day at 8:30am I got married. This is a mom and pop shop. Great services and ran by loving wife and husband read more

A Truly Unforgettable Experience! I cannot say enough about Alexis Occasions Formal Wear Boutique and its incredible owner, Margarita. I'm leaving in two days for a summer formal wedding in Italy and had a small panic attack when I realized I had left my gown and shoes at home. The thought of scrambling for something overseas at sky-high prices had me desperate. By chance, I spotted their mannequin outside a strip mall near a coffee shop and decided to take a chance. I almost didn't walk in. But thank goodness I did. The moment I stepped inside, Margarita sized me up with one glance and immediately understood what I needed. She pulled out a sleek silk gown, and although I doubted it would fit, she showed me exactly how to slip it on. When she fastened it and turned me toward the mirror, I was stunned -- it looked like something I'd ordered weeks ago from Bougie Boutique in Beverly Hills. Chic, polished, and elegant ..it fit me like a glove. What blew me away even more was her confidence and skill in offering on-the-spot alterations. Margarita placed me on a raised platform with a three-way mirror, asked me how I wanted the length (shorter in the front, longer in the back, brushing the ground, or with a train), and even adjusted the slit to my comfort. She gave me shoes to try so I could see how the gown would truly hang. All of this was done with such speed and precision and she promised it would be ready the very next day. And the price? Less than $200 for a gown that looks custom-made and red-carpet ready. In today's world of fast fashion and frustrating big-box shopping, this boutique is a rare gem. Margarita not only delivers quality and craftsmanship, but she also brings warmth, confidence, and artistry to the entire experience. I left with a gown that I'll proudly wear in Italy (and many times after) -- and with a smile that hasn't left my face. If you want to look and feel beautiful without the stress or outrageous expense, this is the place to go. read more

Can't trust in the owners word. She promised me alterations at no charge(and even in her writing).Then when the alterations were needed, she had me pay for them when I went back to get the dress. I came the time to pick up my dress and talk to her daughter about the situation and she ended up taking her daughter in the back room, telling her not to talk to me and continued to overcharge me. I had an event that I was going out of town for the next day and she allowed me to leave with the address, not being altered to me. I had to try and tie it with a hair tie the next day for a wedding. Horrible customer service from the owner. Would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Everyone was friendly and very professional. I had my wedding dress, all of my bridesmaids' dresses and the mini-bride's dress altered there. They did such a great job. The dresses looked amazing ! read more

I went to Alexis Occasions hoping to find a prom dress, and instead I left feeling humiliated. The staff was rude, judgmental, and made completely unnecessary comments about my body. It was clear they had zero interest in actually helping me feel confident--they were too busy body-shaming and making me feel like I didn't belong in their store. If you're not a size 2 or don't fit their narrow idea of "ideal," don't expect kindness, respect, or even basic professionalism. The attitude here is disgusting, and no one deserves to be treated the way I was. Do yourself a favor--go literally anywhere else. Prom dress shopping is supposed to be fun, not degrading. read more

Dresses inside were beautiful, However when i entered the building i was not greeted and waited thirty minutes for help. I came looking for my prom dress and after telling one of the women my size, she disagreed and said i looked much bigger than it. My sister and I were so uncomfortable and ended up leaving while she was in the back. read more

What an amazing, family-owned, local business. I love supporting local businesses. Alexis Occasions is a top notch business in every way. From the moment I walked in the door, Alexis had taken excellent care of me. She listened to find out my style and needs. She pulled dresses from the back for me to try on. She guessed my size and was spot on. Alexis Occasions has a huge selection of beautiful dresses to choose from. They can even order you something if you don't come in to shop at the last minute like I did. Alexis made my shopping experience fun. She is so kind and truly wants to make sure you look and feel your best in whatever you choose. Alexis even found a flattering three piece suit for my husband to wear. Both our outfits needed some light tailoring, which their team finished in just a day, so we could make my event on time. Alexis and her parents own and work the store. They are exceptional human beings. They all go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and walk out smiling. I highly recommend Alexis Occasions if you need a dress or suit. You will not be disappointed. Top notch service, top tier selection and fair costs. Don't go to the Men's Warehouse; come to Alexis Occasions! Thank you Alexis, Carlos and Margarita. Thank you for making my husband and I look and feel our best in our new outfits. We were dressed to impress, all thanks to you. We are forever grateful. read more

My buddy is getting married tomorrow and I wanted to match with the color palette him and his fiancé chose. They recommended Margarita at Alexis Occasions. That recommendation was perfect. Firstly, Margarita took a quick measurement and I was in and out of there in less than ten minutes. She really knows her stuff. The business itself looks very professional, you can tell they put great care into the organization of the place. And the best part is you're not going to break the bank. I got out of there with a brand new dress shirt, nice black slacks and a tie for a very reasonable price. If you're looking for nice attire for any occasion, there is no doubt in my mind Margarita and Alexis Occasions will not let you down. read more

Fantastic local business who made my daughter's prom dress look perfect! The alterations were precise and looked like the dress had been made that way. Everyone was professional, encouraging, and very helpful. The pricing on my daughter's complicated alterations was extremely affordable for what needed to be done to make the dress fit her perfectly. Honestly, my daughter's bff's mom told me where they went was significantly more expensive, and the results looked like an altered dress, vs. the custom dress my daughter was wearing thanks to Alexis! I not only highly recommend Alexis Occasions, but I know I will definitely be taking my youngest daughter there in a couple of years when her prom rolls around. read more

The lady here is extremely rude. I took my daughter to look for prom dresses. The lady that "helped" immediately asked our budget, put some catalogs on the table and repeatedly asked after I told her the price didn't matter. She then proceeded to speak to my daughter in Spanish and I told her that she speaks English. Her response was "oh, you're from Ventura." We left. read more

Hello, I am coming on here to share my experience with this place. Both me and my husband came here. He needed a suit for the wedding and I needed my wedding dress altered. On first arrival, I thought they were amazing. I thought there was just a deposit and we'd pay in full once everything was done. However, at check out, the owner said that they only BEGIN to work on it once it's paid in full. So, of course, I paid in full. I wanted it to be worked on immediately! And I was happy and left. And as we were picking up my husbands suit, I asked the owner what alterations they had decided to go with for my wedding dress. Because there was 2 options: opening the sides of the dress or extending the back. It was there that she told me that she had not worked on it. Mind you, I was 1 week away from my wedding. I was confused because i thought they were already working on it. I knew 100% they were not done with the dress, but at least starting it. Nope. She told me that they work on it 2 days before pick up. However, I was thrown off because of what was first told to us. That they start working on it once it's paid in full. That was a lie !!! She saw my face of confusion and clearly not happy, it was than that she told me, "take your dress. Take it. I haven't worked on it". I told her, no I'm not saying I am going to. I was just confused based off what was shared to us from our first visit. She cut me off several times and told me, "take it". I stood quiet because I was in awe that she would tell me to take the dress 1 week from my wedding day. She left me no time to actually go find a place. If I had known that they don't work on it until 2 days before pick up, I would have chosen somewhere else. I was simply confused why I was told a lie. I stood quiet because I knew that no matter what, I had no choice. I was 1 week away from my wedding day. But even tho I was quiet, she repeated to me 20x to take my dress. I was horrified. I was calm. I couldn't even finish my sentence and explain to her that I was not rushing her. But confused. The way she treated me was absolutely horrible. I would never wish that for any bride 1 week away from your wedding. I also believe she over charged me just because I was a bride. And it was my wedding day. I was charged almost $400 for her to add fabric from my dress to the back. Everyone I told regarding the price new that I was ripped off. Be mindful of the place. Be aware ! read more

I needed a dress for my daughters wedding and was asked to wear a taupe color which was hard to find. My sister in law mentioned Alexis Occasions. I walked in without an appointment one day after work and the lady helped me immediately and found two dresses right away just by looking at me (eyeballing my size) both were very nice but the first one fit perfect and seemed like it was made for me . I had other dresses at home and still had more on the way to try on but I didn't like them and went back within the week and asked to try on the dress again the lady manager helped me again always kind and professsional never pushy in trying to make the sale. Finally I made the decision to purchase the dress and they made some alterations for me that made me extremely happy. The wedding is this coming Saturday and I can't wait. Thank you Alexis Occasions for coming through and taking my stress away. read more

Unbelievably rude, pretentious, unprofessional staff. DO NOT GO HERE. The most horrible experience either of us have had dress shopping. My mom flew in from across the country to help me shop for a wedding dress, and this was one of our (regrettable) stops. As soon as we gave our (perfectly reasonable) budget, the curly-haired lady with glasses started treating us like second class citizens. We had already found beautiful bridal choices well within our budget, but she claimed it was impossible and was being very condescending. When we said we wanted some glitter, she said that would be outside our budget (really? they have tons of tacky looking prom dresses covered in glitter for a fraction of our budget. there is nothing expensive about GLITTER.) Another issue. I had a long day and was PMSing - i apologized and acknowledged right away that I had been sweating all day, and I had actually gone into the bathroom and washed my underarms with soap and water thoroughly before ever entering the dressing room. I had showered just a few hours earlier and worn deodorant, but it was starting to wear off. Some odor still lingered - so she offered me baby wipes which I readily accepted. like, I get it. Of course. conversation over. Right? Wrong. She proceeded to (attempt to) humiliate me for my body odor nonstop after that point... dramatically covering her face while handing me literally tens after tens of baby wipes ... after I had already just washed myself with soap and water... it's embarrassing enough, and it wasn't like I didn't understand or was being uncooperative. "I can't sell a dress if it stinks," she said loudly in front of everyone in the store , after I already fully agreed to the baby wipes. When I told her I'd been dress shopping that day, she said, very exaggeratedly, "they let YOU try on dresses?!?" Like yes, literally so many have and it hasn't once been a problem, shut up already. My mom was seeing white at that point and wanted to leave. But I thought, whatever let's just try on a dress - a dress that SHE picked, by the way - you don't have the freedom to roam thru the dresses yourself. Then, she forces me to keep my shoes on as I put on the dress ... what?? I'm allowed to step into this "pristine" dress in my outdoor shoes, but god forbid I have a trace of body odor coming from a place the dress wouldn't even touch...(????) So i tried on the dress, and neither my mom nor I liked it. Then she immediately dismissed us saying, "good luck finding your dress!" And couldn't wait to kick us out (we were getting the hell out of there anyway). We ended up finding 2 iridescent, glittery white gowns that checked all the boxes for less than a hundred bucks that day. You're better off supporting a business like Soli's Boutique or going to Windsor for quality formal wear and good customer service. read more

SO SO RUDE!!! Super slow service (usually fine if you're respectful and are genuinely trying your best) they had us wait outside even though there was plenty of room for us (4 people) in their trash boutique. They throw the same catalogs at every party walking in. They don't care for your questions. They want you to be certain about what you are looking for. They do not care if you've never tried on a dress, they expect you to know exactly what color you are looking for, what length, if a slit or no slit, if body con or gown style. They will NOT help you if you don't know the answers to these questions. They also ask about your budget and will get snobby about whatever answer you give them. I believe that you should be allowed to try on dresses to see how you feel in them! Doesn't matter how many different times you change, as long as you're comfortable and confident in your final choice!!! They will tell you that it is NOT worth helping you. That you are not important and they will tell you to leave. Definitely the worst costumer service experience ever! Would 100% rate 0 stars if I could, but I cannot so 1/5 will do. I RECOMMEND: SOLIS BRIDAL & BOUTIQUE!! They are super nice and respectful! Totally worth your time to check them out! They genuinely care for you to have a good experience! read more

As an event planner, I warned my client about this place. I had heard bad reviews from colleagues and other clients. My client insisted since the location was convenient for her. The owner (I believe her name is Margarita) is extremely unprofessional and plain rude! She made comments about my client's weight MULTIPLE times during our brief visit, asking her is she was planning to lose weight prior to the wedding. I was appalled by her lack of sensitivity. I will NEVER step foot in her shop again. This woman does not deserve to be in business with her body shaming! read more

As per my usual, I needed something done at the last minute--brought in my bridesmaid's dress for alterations and needed them done in less than a week.... They first told me, "No," that she couldn't have the dress ready and that there was, "No way..." I was so bummed out but it turns out she thought I was bringing in a wedding dress!!! We were laughing so hard when she realized it wasn't a wedding dress!! I had never taken anything in for alterations, so, I was scared that she had started cutting the material at the bottom of my dress while I had it on...but let me tell you...she definitely knows what she is doing!! My dress was ready when I needed it and was the perfect length. Amazing customer service and very personable. There are so many beautiful dresses in the shop. I will definitely be going back. The only problem I had was that i lost too much weight and the dress ended up just being too big on me...but that's a good problem to have! read more

If I could give a million stars I would. I'm so thankful for this shop for helping me. I'm military and I recently got a new uniform.

And she did such an amazing job for it being done same day ANd her FIRST time ever working with military. I'm so thankful she was able to help me such last minute. On top of it all She is one of the nicest people I've met since being stationed here! read more
