The girls in the store were so sweet and willing to help me with my alterations for my dress. The pricing is reasonable and they did a great job!! I can't wait to wear my dress in September!! read more

I highly advise against visiting this boutique if you are looking for a meaningful bridal experience. We came here directly after an outstanding appointment at What's Up Europe, and the contrast in service was staggering. From the start, the associate showed a complete lack of interest, failing to even acknowledge the bride's guests. When the bride shared her preferred styles based on what she had already learned about her preferences, the associate used it as an excuse to exert minimal effort, pulling very few options. In fact, when a member of our party requested to see a different style, the associate dismissively replied, 'Oh no, she's pretty much closed off into trying anything else,' completely shutting down the process. Furthermore, because the wedding is in a Catholic church, the bride raised standard modesty requirements. While the previous boutique proactively pinned various strap options and fabric inserts to visually demonstrate modifications, the associate here simply gave a dismissive, 'Yeah, we can add something,' without offering any visual solutions. Ultimately, the sister-in-law had to get up and find the options herself. The lack of care, professionalism, and effort was unacceptable. If you want to be treated with respect and taken seriously as a bride, take your business elsewhere. read more

My sister and I are both engaged and were excited to try on wedding dresses together, so she thoughtfully scheduled back-to-back appointments for us. Because I work long hours and have a demanding schedule, she took the initiative to arrange everything on our behalf. A few days later, my sister received a phone call from someone at the bridal boutique. Unfortunately, the interaction left a very negative impression. The caller immediately questioned why the appointments had been booked back-to-back, and even after my sister politely explained that we wanted to share the experience together, the conversation continued with an unnecessarily rude tone and attitude. As a result of that interaction, we decided not to move forward with our appointments. Customer service is often a bride's first impression of a boutique, and this experience did not make us feel welcomed or valued. If this was the level of professionalism shown before we even stepped through the door, we did not feel confident entrusting the boutique with such an important part of our wedding experience. read more

Worst selection Bride asked to try on several and lady brought her everything she didn't want Then after 4 dresses was told That's all we have Waste of time !!! read more

I schedule an appointment to look for a wedding dress and make the appoint for when they open at 10AM. I received a call saying that I needed to move my appointment to a different time because they open at 10AM even though that time was an option, which was whatever. When my family and I arrived to the appointment we walked in and were not greeted at all, we sat down and waited about five minutes while the employees were in a circle talking to each other. I went up and stated I had an appointment and the worker asked what type of dress I was looking for and informed her I was trying on size 14s. I showed her pictures of dresses I tried on and liked. She pulled a about 4 dresses and after I tried them on I asked if there were any other ones and she stated no everything else you won't like and they are too small. She then brought me a dress saying it was a size 6 and informed me not to force it on because if I break it I buy it. WHY ARE YOU HANDING ME A 6 WHEN I TOLD YOU I WAS SIZE 14. I also let her know I was getting married in a Catholic Church and asked for a Shaw and she ignored me and my sister-in-law went around the store looking for a shaw and was the one giving me ideas on how to alter the dress. I went in excited and came out miserable. read more

I'm leaving this review from what my fiancé experienced this past weekend and she absolutely hated it. The person working there was no help, rude as hell and just basically shaming her just for looking around and telling her she can't afford the dress when my fiancé would just ask about other dress options. From what my fiancé experienced I would not recommend this place. She was so sad after leaving and didn't want to continue dress shopping. That was until she went to What's Up Europe and they were the best, so friendly and really cared about giving my fiancé the best environment and attention. And she fell in love with one of the dresses definitely recommend What's Up Europe over Annabelle's. read more

Attended a bridal appointment with my granddaughter as she was looking to try on wedding dresses. Annabelle was amazing! She is very personable and was extremely helpful! I highly recommend Annabelle's bridal shop! read more

I can't recommend this bridal boutique enough! The very first dress I tried on turned out to be the one -- my dream dress I never even knew I needed. I came in with a vague idea and no clear direction, but as soon as I shared my (somewhat scattered) vision, Annabelle immediately knew what would suit me best. She is incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive, and made me feel so comfortable and truly heard throughout the entire appointment. It honestly felt like she read my mind -- and then made it even better. I walked away with the perfect dress and such a positive, confidence-boosting experience. If you're dress shopping, this is the place to go. You'll be in great hands. read more

Christy was my associate and she is amazing. I was dreading this part of my wedding because I am not comfortable in dresses. I went in multiple times and she made me feel comfortable and confident. She gave input like we've been friends for years and I greatly appreciate it. I can't tell you enough how positive my experience was at Annabelle's. I highly recommend. I found my dream dress and can't wait to wear it on my wedding day. Thank you again, Christy! read more

FANTASTIC customer service. Small business with big selection. Knowledgeable staff. Dresses range from about $1200-3000. Cute dressing areas with great lighting. Highly recommend this boutique! read more

one word... AMAZING!!!! Such a great experience. This was the very first store I walked into and my first fitting ever! It only took 3 dresses for me to try on and I automatically said yes! Definitely recommend Annabelle's Bridal Boutique! If I can give a thousand stars I would!! read more

Annabelle's Bridal is an amazing place for every bride-to-be! They completely rescued my wedding. I mistakenly purchased a dress elsewhere, which arrived needing many alterations and missing buttons. Christy and Mada went to work on it right away and made it more beautiful than I ever imagined. I will always recommend to Annabelle's to anyone looking for exquisite quality and amazing service! read more

I loved Annabelle and all of her staff, they all made me feel so welcomed! I found my perfect dress the first time I went there. She let me look through all the dresses and she didn't get mad at me for pulling dresses (unlike David's Bridal...). She then narrowed down dresses with the type of style I liked. She works wonders on the dress down to the simple little details I needed tailored/added and with a very timely manner (under a week)! Bride tip: Think of these detailed when dress shopping/preserving: does your church require sleeves for your dress and bridesmaids, what bustle do you want, and if you send your dress to get preserved it could take some time don't worry. read more

Walking in Makenzie greeted my daughter and I after looking at other shops for a dress for my sons wedding. I found one I finally liked but had to see if it was ok. Brought the hubby and tried it on and he said that's the one. We bought the dress, later had it altered and the whole process has been great. They treat you like family. And make everything very comfortable. If i need a dress for any occasion I will be coming here!! Love all the staff. The owner is amazing. read more

Thank you Annabelle for your sterling service and expert advice that made choosing THE dress for my son's wedding flawless and fun! Together with forever friend Marlene Sciacca, I was in the hands of pros and can't thank them both enough for helping me find THE one! read more

I purchased a custom veil from Annabelle's Bridal. I went in and told her the style I was going for (mantilla) but the lace only in the front. I had looked everywhere and had not seen anything even close to what I was looking for. She said she could have it custom made so I told her the length I wanted and the lace for the border and where I wanted the lace to end. I had no clue if this would work. It did and I loved it! The price was very reasonable and the order came in on time as promised. read more

I said yes to the dress! Being that I was literally days away from getting a dress, I walked into Annabelle's, her and an employee got me in, and started asking about what I wanted, and she got my figure on point! Tried on 4 s dresses but my 3rd one was it! It was a bit out of my budget but that's no one's else's fault but my own-- thank you ladies for making me and my friends feel comfortable! No disappointment whatsoever, made it at ease for me, and adding on I got a dress without alterations needed! read more

Annabelle and her staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I went in with a limited budget and less than a month for the wedding and Annabelle helped me find a dress that I truly love. I was hesitant to try some styles but she knew my size and what would fit well. The alteration services were quick and my dress was steamed before it was handed over. I'm incredibly thankful. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but wanted to take the time to write one for Annabelle's Boutique because I had such a great experience there. I had visited several other places looking for my wedding dress (all over Fresno and LA) and Annabelles Boutique had a dress I was looking for close to my size (my wedding is in 3 months). From the moment I called to when I went to their boutique, everyone there was so accommodating! I bought the dress, then a week later I went to begin alterations and Annabelle (I think she is the one who does alterations?) was SO patient with me and is truly an expert. I had questions and concerns and she put them at ease by explaining how fabrics go together, literally reading my mind on how to make the bodice more of what I wanted, explaining the difference in colors, etc. She provided her knowledge with so much patience and with me never feeling pressured! At first I thought she was serious, but no, she was very sweet! Maybe it was the mask lol. I'm very excited to go pick up my dress! Even if for some reason you don't find "the one" (who knows, you might find it like I did!) it's a wonderful boutique worthy of your time. read more

I said yes to the dress!! I called Annabelles boutique on a Saturday after leaving David's bridal feeling down about my wedding dress shopping experience. Annabelle encouraged me to come in even though I did not have an appointment. As soon as I walked in I felt welcomed! Annabelle and all her staff quickly set me up with dresses and I began to try them on. Christi, was amazing! So patient, helpful, and full of energy. She made me feel welcomed and special the whole time I was there. She was patient with me while I tried on various dresses and even when I kept going back and forth. She made sure the dresses for well and adjusted them accordingly. She helped me FaceTime a few family members since they were not able to be there in person, she provided input without trying to persuade me to go with a specific dress. We drank champagne to celebrate my decision. I loved every minute of it! read more

I walked in this shop not knowing anything about wedding dresses and I needed one! Margie (i think) was so helpful and asked me a few questions about what I like and I was not helpful at all. The first two dresses I tried on were pretty but not on me. Then the next 2 dresses were gorgeous and on me! I instantly fell in love. She had such and eye for my style and my body type. I visited a few more stores in So Cal and ended up returning to Annabelle's to order my dress there! Very helpful staff and great selection of wedding dresses! read more

I had the very best experience at Annabelle's with Annabelle and her amazing staff! I had went to Pasadena and many other places for dresses and I hadn't felt so at ease until I walked into Annabelle's. There were multiple "the one" dresses. She had the best selection and knew exactly what would fit my body type. I picked my dress and took multiple family members back to see my dress. Annabelle and her staff made us feel so special each time and made the experience so memorable! I can not thank her enough. I live over an hour away from Visalia and I will happily drive back anytime I need a dress. My family and I are so appreciative of your shop and your expertise. read more

Christie is a gift from God! I called this bridal boutique on a whim to see if they stocked a bridesmaid dress that I needed with a quick turnaround time -- 2 months before the wedding. The local bridal salon that my bridal party was dealing with was inept and unwilling to assist. Christie did the research and quickly identified the dress that I needed & assured me that it would arrive on time. Her communication was amazing. She was so willing to help and was happy to do it! Give her a raise! The dress made it in the window that Christie promised and all was well. Thanks a million times. read more

Unexpectedly walked into Annabelle's shop and saw a dress hanging up. Tried it on and right then found my dress! Annabelle helped me with my first trying on and it was wonderful. Her spirit was so amazing. She made me feel so beautiful. She is kind, helpful and so caring. She make you feel like family. Had to change our wedding date, and went in for my second fitting after she reopened from coronavirus, and I cried at this fitting. She took my alterations and pictures for me. What a beautiful day it was. I am so looking forward to my final fitting. I would recommend this shop to everybody. Ask for Annabelle to assist you if possible and you will not be let down. It was a meant to be experience for me. Unforgettable. Go buy from her and support local family businesses! read more

Previous to coming into Annabelles, I was turned away at another bridal store because I didn't have an appointment. So I called Annabelle's and said, if I come to your store in 5-10 minutes, will you let me try on bridal dresses and the employee responded "of course you can!". I was so relieved. This being my first day ever shopping for my bridal dress, it already started off horrible with the previous experience that I had. I came in and was greeted by one of the employees. I was a little upset that she didn't really show me around or tell me how the dresses were categorized. It was really just a "pick your dress and see what you like" mindset. She did come every now and then to take the dresses from me and take them to the fitting room. After I had a handful I was ready to try them on so I went to the fitting room and tried them on. The employee came over and put the clips on the back to tighten them up but that was it. I was expecting to get some questions like, "what kind of dress are you looking", "do you need help picking something". This being my first time ever, I really had no idea what I was doing. After getting frustrated and irritated I hung up all the dresses and was about to walk out until Annabelle herself showed up. Annabelle was so helpful. She asked me if I had any pictures of dresses I liked and asked to see them. She pulled out a magazine and said these are the types of dresses that would look good for your body type and also are similar to the pictures you showed me. She pulled a few dresses off the rack and after I would try one on, I would tell her, I like this but I wish it had more glitter. So she would pull out a dress with more glitter. And every time we got closer to the dress I was looking for. Finally we narrowed it down and she said, I know what dress you would like. She pulled a picture from a magazine and said come back in 3 months and we will have this dress in the store. The dress was absolutely beautiful. Thank you Annabelle for being patient, accommodating, and personable. You made my day and my experience 100% better. I will definitely come see you when I am back in town. read more

Worst Experience Ever Just recently getting engaged, I was very excited about trying on dresses! That is until I came here to Annabelle's. It should be a very pleasant experience, but it was the complete opposite. A young girl helped me, but really didn't help me at all. She was very rude and down right horrible at her job. When trying on the dresses, she offered little to no assistance. When I asked her questions, she was very demeaning when answering just making me feel uncomfortable. I had picked 3 to try on, but just with how bad the service was, I couldn't wait to get out of there. I am very disappointed, and just hope any new bride that goes in there gets the memorable experience ALL brides deserve!! read more

We came to find a dress for my mom. It was a busy Saturday during winter formal. The ladies help each customer with proper attention. never made anyone feel they were pressured for time. They were kind, straight forward. alterations were amazing. time frame was quicker than we expected. read more

This was the very first place that I went to try on dresses and it sure was busy. Annabelle was the one that helped me and even though one of her girls called in sick that morning and I had to wait, she was very polite and accommodating. I am not shy, so having her help me with the dresses in my dressing room was no issue. She had great opinions, but then also let my mom and friends have them too. She knew I wasn't going to buy one that day, since it was my first stop and I love that she didn't rush me out there. I highly recommend this place if you are doing your search in Visalia! read more

So... I visited 3 different stores in Visalia and my experience here was by far the best. Let me start by saying I didn't expect to find the quality and options of dresses in little ol' Visalia (no offense) but I did. Before going back to reviewing Annabelle's- I must point out that there are 3 similar stores in the same vicinity. The other two I went into as well. One of them told me to make an appointment (umm.. Ok thanks I'll keep my money), the other store, when I got there showed them pictures of my preferences from Pinterest; well, every dress that was brought out did not come close to my preferences. Back to Anabelle's- when I walked in it was packed and difficult to tell who can help. But as soon as we got someone (which didn't take long)- I did the same thing- showed her what I like from Pinterest and she brought out two dresses- the problem was more which to pick. Went to the other two stores, came back and decided on one of the two from previously! She let me try it on AGAIN, took my measurement AND helped pick matching accessories. I'm definitely looking forward to when my dress comes and trying it on. The experience thus far...A+ Addendum: dress came. Did fitting. Love the dress and love the service. Annabelle even made an instructional video for whomever is dressing me on that day !! Highly recommend. read more

I love love LOVED my experience with Annabelle and her staff. I saw these ladies on four separate occasions and probably a total of 3 hours max but it felt like they were old friends. Every time I walked in or called they knew exactly who I was and what I was there for. I went to try on dresses in January 2016 and I was about to give up. I had tried on so many dresses and I just wanted to quit. Annabelle was so incredible helpful. I originally wanted a dress with straps but she suggested a strapless dress with removable sleeves which is what I went with. Together, we picked out a strapless lace Maggie Sottero mermaid-ish dress. We placed the order and it came in April. I went for a fitting and I was incredibly surprised when she told me that alterations where only $120. Lace is usually incredibly expensive to take in. I had about two inches taken in on the bodice and then another 3 inches on the bottom. I was expecting upwards of $300. Very happy! I also got perfectly matching jewelry and a belt to finish off the look! I would definitely recommend Annabelle's to anyone and everyone looking for a dress! read more

Terrible service. Was disappointed because when I met Ana belle during a bridal show, she was so awesome. Her employees are nothing like her. Annabelle I wish you good luck with other those workers of yours. read more

this shop is chaotic and doesn't stick to the appointment schedule, the owner was snarky and the employee in charge of my appointment kept leaving me alone to help other customers wasting my time slot. they didn't put me and my party in the back area to try on my dresses so i was stuck w the small mirror in the center of the shop! everyone was seeing me come out with pinned dresses, no privacy or consideration!! read more

Annabelle is very friendly and helpful. She is open and honest with her clients, which I think others have taken as her being "rude." She is a professional, and she will give you advice and her opinion as such. Her daughter is also very sweet and helpful, they are a great duo! I usually don't work with the other workers in the shop, but from what I've observed, they're definitely not as experienced as the owners (obviously). But overall, I love this bridal shop, and I love shopping local to help our small businesses! I've been coming here since I was in high school for formal dresses, and I came back for my wedding dress :) definitely recommend them! read more

Wow this boutique is amazing! Annabelle the owner was there to answer all questions I had and assist me in looking at a future dresses. She was so friendly and helpful, loved the small town feel. I can't wait to buy a dress here. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I called Annabelle's in January 2015 to make an appointment for Wedding Dress shopping. No answer, but I did leave a voicemail message with my name and contact info. They called back about 10 days later, which in my opinion is very unprofessional. I had already scheduled my appointment at Premier Bride's Perfect Dress and took my business there. I decided to give them another chance when it came to shopping for the bridesmaids dresses. I called Annabelle's and AGAIN, same thing happened. No one called me back for a week! When someone finally did, I thought ok I'll make the appointment and see how this goes... What was I thinking?! My appointment was this morning, we walked in and spoke to the first employee we saw. I told her my name and let her know I had an appointment for today. She said, "you can go to the front and let the girls know." I thought rude and strange, why couldn't she help me? But ok, we went to the front and let another employee know and she stated, "you can just go through the racks and pull the dresses you like." She walked us over to the dress rack and said, "these are the colors they come in" and she left us. No questions for me as in when's the wedding, what colors are you having, what's your price range, etc. My bridesmaids and I just started pulling the dresses ourselves since no on else wanted to assist us. When it was time to try them on, do you think they helped? Hell No! They just stood there! I asked if one someone could help us out and they finally did (after being asked multiple times). That was it, we just said thank you and GoodBye! This Place has Poor Customer Service - Unorganized - Unprofessional read more

The window display is nice, but it does not make up for their bad service. I went to this shop at their old Mooney location, then came to shop with my cousin for her wedding, I quickly remembered why I refused to by a dress from them. If the owner has a bad attitude, you can't expect the employees to be any better. Shop elsewhere... read more

Where to begin? I arrived and notified the young employee I had an appointment at 10am. She asked me "appointment for what?" in a snarky tone. I explained I was looking for a wedding gown. I told her my budget and showed her pictures of what I was looking for. She basically said they didn't have any dresses in that style within my budget. Mind you, I just came from What's Up Europe, where they managed to find many dresses meeting all my requirements. My family and I decided to pull a few dresses to try on anyway. The dresses are crammed together so it's nearly impossible to get a good look. They all look the same as one another and all are over priced. I am open minded and pulled a few to try anyway. Every time I looked for the employee to zip or tie the dress, she was gone. Finally my sister helped me instead. We walked out without so much as a goodbye. read more

I have been here twice. The first time was with my niece who was trying on wedding dresses for the first time with her bridesmaids and some family (needless to say, there was a lot of us)! After Annabelle pulled a few dresses, my niece was basically ignored. She received no attention from any staff and was left to her own devices. At one point, my niece and her bridesmaids were pulling dresses themselves. The second time was not any better. I went in with my niece (the same niece who tried on wedding dresses weeks earlier) to look at flower girl dresses for my daughter. Annabelle was behind the counter when we walked in and we weren't even acknowledged even though the shop was not busy. After about five minutes of just standing there and glancing at the the owner, we had to go up and ask if she had any flower girl dresses. When Annabelle asked who was getting married, my niece replied she was. At that point Annabelle rudely said, "You?" and gave this us this snobby look like, "Really? You look way too young." Despite this, we tried one dress on my daughter which looked really cute and fit quite well. Regardless, I refused to purchase it there because of the horrible service. I went across town to Espi's Kids where the women working there were so sweet and incredibly helpful!! I bought my little one a dress similar to the one from Annabelle's and paid about $50 less!! read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. We just went for an appointment I had set up for my sister. It was the most horrible experience. The young girl who helped us pulled no dresses. We my sister was done with the three we pulled for her we asked "do you have anything else she can try on now that you have an idea of what she like?" She said "well this is all they pulled for you so you can pick some more" ugh we left right away. The whole time she said almost nothing. She also mentioned it was only her fourth day, however we felt she didn't try and no other workers tried helping her. read more
