My budget was not super high ($1000) but the sales associate never made me feel like I was being cheap. She suggested things that would work well with my body type and also proposed a couple of ideas I wouldn't have thought of myself. Helpful and friendly for sure!

Go to AMI-FER instead where I found a wonderful wedding dress for 800 dollars. Their service is great and I cannot say the same thing about the shitty attitude of the owner of Josie Bridal Shop.

I had an appointment at the sample sale and wanted to share my experience…read more I was nervous, anxious and scared as I had been to other bridal shops for girlfriend's weddings and the experience was horrific. So walking into this bridal shop definitely made me feel extremely uneasy. That uneasiness was very quickly put to rest. I was greeted warmly by Helene Senechal. She was sweet, comforting, attentive, funny, down to earth and most importantly not pushy. She gave me pointers and her opinion but never over stepped. I told her about my incapability of making decisions and she never once made me feel badly for always going back and forth (poor thing must have probably wanted to strangle me). We went over my appointment time and once again, I never felt any pressure. Thank you to Christianne Brunnelle Couture for not being one of those crazy bridal shops that makes people run out the opposite way. And a HUGE thank you to Helene Senechal for making my experience truly wonderful. We too often are quick to make complaints however the good experiences should be shared as well. I absolutely suggest going to Christianne Brunelle Couture Nuptiale when looking around for a dress!

I got married in 2000 and, unfortunately for me, this was the only formal wear place in Newport,…read moreVT. This place sucks! I and my groomsmen mailed our measurements to them well in advance and expected to have tuxes reserved and ready to go once we got there. NOT! It seemed that they just put the measurement cards to the side of their desk and waited til we got there to start actually looking for tuxes that fit us. Very unprofessional and not the way to run a business like this. The couple (I think it was the Needlemans) were nice enough but their formal wear and service fell far short of acceptable. Do not waste your money at this dump of a business. Instead, I recommend The Landing Company just 1 block down Main Street. They have a more professional staff and better selection of formal wear. Do not go to Needleman's!
